It was the perfect little condo. Brent was really responsive. Everything was clean. I think the only annoying part was having to dump out the humidifier. The pool was close and love the dock area too.

Swing and a miss….

Online photos are deceiving. Property photos and owner descriptions are the only tools renters have when choosing a property. Check in process was fine. Condo complex is older. Condo itself was deplorable. Day 1- I ended up spending 2.5 hours on the phone with VRBO and ended up staying the night at a hotel 40 min away from Siesta Key. Sent VRBO agent photos of condo condition. Stains on living room furniture coverings, stains on master room’s bedding, floors need replacing (and I when I say replacing - I mean 10 years ago they probably needed to be replaced because of so much grime that had accumulated in grout and in the divet lines of tiles), dirt in every corner of baseboards, found 2 bugs in the unit, sliding glass door sticks when opening/closing, needed a paint job because of markings on walls and doors. VRBO ended up contacting owner and stating that he was on his way over to the unit to speak with me. I felt extremely uncomfortable with this proposed resolution because I was a female traveling alone. The owner was not polite whatsoever; he basically called me “special” because he stated he only had issues with about 1 in every 50 guests. I guess I am special because I do expect basic cleanliness of places I plan to sleep in! I texted owner about an hour after he left to tell him that I had left the condo and was not returning. We had agreed on a refund but he did not refund me for the first night (even though I didn’t stay there). He states that I had showered and used towels and I guess that justified him not reimbursing me for that night even though I had to pack everything back up and drive 40 min and pay $125 for a night’s stay at a hotel. And just to clarify, I used maybe 2 wash cloths and did not shower. There’s no way I was showering in that condo. I wouldn’t even walk barefoot in there, much less shower. Owner’s email to me post departure was equally as condescending and rude as our face to face meeting, which wasn’t surprising to me. Needless to say, I will not be renting anymore places on VRBO in the near future. I had booked many places on this web site but this experience was horrible. A day of my vacation wasted by being on hold with VRBO, packing, unpacking, packing again and driving 40 min away from my beach vacation site, only to land in Punta Gorda for the remainder of my time in Florida. FYI - my new place in PG was absolutely spotless and I had zero issues. Best of luck to this unit in Siesta Key….it needs major help.

Really grateful for the stay at this condo

We are 60+ years old. We came after spring break and it was nice and quiet. We appreciated having the blender, we used it daily. The bikes were in good shape and we had fun riding them. The location was good for us, we could walk or drive to the beach access points. Brent was quick to respond when we had a question or simple request. We would consider staying at the same condo again.

Snowbirding

We spent the month of January 2023 in this unit. The location was great and Brent was very easy to work with. We had a couple of issues that he addressed quickly for us. I agree with a couple of other reviewers that the place could use a deep cleaning. I noticed during our stay that there were some Damp Rid bags hanging in a couple of places, but didn't think much of it until we got home and noticed a musty smell on our clothes upon unpacking. If you are sensitive to mold you might want to rethink this unit. Many thanks to Brent for his hospitality!

Good location on the Intercoastal!

Host was quickly responsive when required a few things at beginning of the stay. New appliances in kitchen which were great and comfy king size bed. Intercoastal dock was great and people very friendly. Enjoyed our charcoal bbq’s and the heated pool. Walk to beach access is about 10-15 minute walk). Took free Trolley a few times and enjoyed it. Great to have bikes to ride up and down the key!

About the host

Hosted by Brent Kerger

Host profile image
My wife and I have been in the vacation rental business since 2009 and in longer term rentals since 1997. We firmly believe in keeping our places well maintained and assuring that our guests have access to all the great amenities that this property and the surrounding area can provide. We have one other Siesta Key rental home and two other beach rental properties south of Tallahassee, so we strive to get the top ratings from our guests.

Why they chose this property

Siesta Key is the ultimate beach holiday spot because its sunny, tropical climate, sugar-white sand beaches, and mild, shallow, warm Gulf waters make it the perfect location for sunbathing, swimming, and beachfront activities. There is fishing available at the Bay Oaks pier, surf fishing from the beach, and available local off-shore charters. The village area is full of great restaurants, shops and bars that can keep you busy with a different place to sample for dinner or evening entertainment every night of the week! Golf and many other tourist attractions are within short driving distance depending on your preferences. All in all, this is one of the best beach vacation spots in the world.

What makes this property unique

The Bay Oaks facilities are good quality and well maintained. Siesta Key's free trolley makes it easy to access the beach and village facilities without worrying about driving or parking. Perfect home base for taking the kids or grandkids to theme parks or water parks.
