Great place!

We loved this spot and will rent again if back in Florida! Once you get where you're actually allowed to sit during the day on the beach it's easier but there was a little confusion on that part. You can sit anywhere in front of the guy that rents spot on the beach until 5 but before then you cant sit in his flagged area though that should have been more clear but we still found spots other than that no issues at all! Thank you very much!!!

Annual Girls Trip

My girlfriends and I vacation every summer on the west coast of Florida. We enjoy the quaint little beach towns. Communication with Kathy and her family was great. They were quick to respond and very accomodating. The TV didn't work properly upon our arrival and we had a new one the next day. Condo is in a great location with quick access to the beach, restaurants, shops and other amenities. Our only complaint would be the temperature inside the condo didn't seem accurate. We constantly had to utilize the fans in every room to keep it cool.

The AC works just fine. Because we are so close to the gulf, it is maintained every quarter. This is summer in Florida by the beach. It is hot and humid. The AC units cannot run 24/7. Once the condo gets to the set temperature, the unit will shut off. That’s when the fans come in to keep the cold air circulating and help to keep the humidity down. That’s what they are for and they are meant to be used. That’s why we make sure that every room has one.

Not satisfied

Condo itself was great and the beach is 100 percent perfect! Only issue was whoever cleans the condo did not clean very well, guest toliet bowl had not been cleaned at all because previous guest had an explosion in the toliet, not a pretty site when we arrived, also microwave a few few food pieces stuck inside, not cleaned well enough, last issue, they set the AC at 74 degrees so at night in master bedroom it would be hot until AC kicked on and then you are cool again, repeat all night long so didn't sleep well most of our nights there, both bedrooms need ceiling fans, can't believe they don't have them, I have never stayed at a rental that controlled the AC, 74 is to warm I think in Florida or any where to sleep in. Also can't rent the beach chairs on the beach, we had to carry chairs and unbrella to Beach, it's more than a few steps away, the beach chairs would have been more comfortable for us even if I had to pay to rent them, the people that did get to use them I think they might have been included in their condo stay, not sure

Kelli, We have never regulated the temperature at the condo in the many years that my family has owned it. The thermostat goes below 74 degrees. It looks like someone was trying to lower the temperature and hit the programming button which sets and locks the temperatures. With a few pushes of the buttons, that was changed back to normal. I wish you would have let us know you were having an issue, we would have had it fixed in a matter of minutes. The condo doesn’t have ceiling fans because it was built in the 1950’s and the lower units are not wired for them. We too wish we could have them. We do provide portable fans in both bedrooms though. Also if you saw any issues in cleaning, we would have fixed them immediately, if we had been notified. We throughly clean the entire condo between each stay. That includes vacuuming and steam cleaning all the floors and scrubbing down the kitchen and bathrooms. Cleaning every surface in the condo. I have the cleaning logs showing that all that was done before you arrived. Both toilets were even maintenanced by the plumber 2 days before your stay. Sometimes things may get missed, as you yourself said in the note you left. You called it “an easy miss". Just a few specks under the rim. Most likely something dislodged by the plumber when he was working on it. As far as the beach goes, the chairs on the beach belong to the Hyatt and Sea Club V. Nowhere in our listing do we say anything about renting those chairs. They are for their guests only. They have nothing to do with our condo complex and what we offer. We provide beach chairs, umbrellas and many beach towels for our guests to use. We are here to help, but we have to know when there is a problem. I’m sorry you had issues. A quick email, text message or call would have been all it took to get it fixed. It would have been taken care of promptly.

Great little condo close to the beach

My family and I had a great time at this condo. The beach was about a five minute walk down a paved path. The condo was decorated very nicely and had everything you could need for your trip. My advice is get to the condo and check before buying anything. Chances are it is probably already there.

This condo was perfect. Kathy was an excellent host and was wonderful to work with. The condo had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. The check in and check out process was seamless. This condo has the perfect location to the private beach, stores, dining, drinks and the Trolley that takes you to the Village for free. There were nice added touches such as beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would definitely return to this location and rent from Kathy if we vacation again to Siesta Keys.

Memorial Weekend

We stayed at Sara Sea Circle with a few friends. We loved the condo, it was clean and well stocked. The grounds were beautiful. Loved all the bunnies running around. The only issue we had were the chairs that were put out every morning on the beach, We felt they took up all the space and very little for people who brought their own chairs. Over all we would recommend this place to our friends and family. Kathy was great to communicate with. Thank you Kathy for making our stay wonderful.
