Our HEATED POOL, and PRIVATE TENNIS COURTS overlook the gulf. During winter season the location cannot be beat, being one block from the Stickney Point Bridge (no long, slow lines on and off the key), and restaurants, bars, grocery, bike rental, drug store, ice cream, 7/Eleven, and much, much more, just across the street from House of the Sun.

Long lasting friendships that span the globe have been made from the fifth floor deck at sunset and guests come back year after year to enjoy this wonderful complex.

If you want a stress-free drive-free vacation, away from the public beach but still on the beautiful quartz crystal sands of Siesta Key Beach, this is one to consider.

Wonderful property, excellent communication with everything necessary for a great stay provided! Pretty great to leave the restaurant right across the street at night and in one minute you’re relaxing for the night in your place.

Great Condo

This is a great condo, even better than advertised. It’s tastefully decorated, fully equipped, extremely comfortable, and superbly located. Donna is a great host, and responded promptly to our two queries. First, the halyard for reserving beach chairs was missing, and second a remote for bedroom tv was missing (not a problem since we don’t watch tv in bed; we just wanted to let her know). One caveat: if like us you’re used to cooking with gas, you might want to do what we do and bring an electric frying pan. The oven and broiler are first rate, but that electric cooktop is a pain. What’s better than advertised is the location. An excellent supermarket is minutes away, and even better, a good French restaurant, Miquel’s, is a block away. (Avoid the house salad, order the Caesar; everything else is really good. Ask for Brendon to wait on you.) Across the street is an oyster house with fabulous fresh oysters and clam chowder. There’s also a liquor store, a small grocery, a post office and UPS, and a 7/11. A fabulous condo. You won’t find better.

What a great place and property manager

I can’t say enough about the house of the sun. The rooms, the access, the pool. This was a great stay that sold my wife on siesta key forever. Donna was so nice and easy to work with. She gave us all of the best details on how to get about and made checking in and out so simple. We also had two other of her rentals through other family members and she took just as great care of them. We can’t thank her enough for letting us enjoy our vacation in her little slice of heaven

Why they chose this property

House of the Sun is an extremely well run and maintained property. And we have all of the conveniences of shopping right across the street. We do not have to deal with the slow moving traffic on the key as we are just off of the south bridge (Stickney Point). Having a condo on the 2nd floor is a wonderful convenience, even with the 2 elevators, we can just walk up one flight of stairs to our condo. We love our place at House of the Sun!

What makes this property unique

Dave and I have been coming to Siesta Key for over 20 years and we love it. We decided to purchase our condo at House of the Sun for so many reasons. First, we really like the location. The complex is on the gulf and one block away from the Stickney Point Bridge. During the busier times of the year, it is wonderful to be able to leave our building, cross the bridge and get to our destination without long, slow lines. We enjoy the large, heated pool the overlooks the gulf, and we love the decks on the fourth and fifth floors. Every evening, guests of House of the Sun love to come up to the 4th and 5th floor decks for sunset. A horn is typically blown from our 5th floor deck just as the sun is disappearing into the Gulf. The deck provides a panoramic view of Siesta Key Beach, and we are one of the very view complexes that have these wonderful decks right on the beach. We love the convenience of being able to walk across the street for groceries at the Crescent Market, cocktails at the Sniki Tiki and dinner at Claytons. Typically, my car stays under the building in my covered parking space for most of my time at House of the Sun. Everything that I need is right across the street, from rentals, to shops, to a variety of eateries, liquor stores, ice cream, pizza, pharmacy, rentals, and the list goes on and on...I simply cannot say enough about the location and amenities here at House of the Sun!
