Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for sharing your vacation experience with us! We are so thrilled to hear you enjoyed your overall stay at Sandy Cabana. Hopefully you were able to take advantage of the gorgeous beach just down the street! However, we do appreciate your honest feedback in regard to next year's pricing. Upon looking a little further into your reservation, you booked last minute and were given a significant discount for this. The price you recently booked would automatically seem much lower than next year's price due to the booking being so last minute. We still would love to host your stay again and if you decide that you do want to stay at Sandy Cabana, we would love to offer you your return guest discount. (: With love, The Cottage Crew

Siesta key getaway

Property overall was excellent. Great location with short walk to the beach. Property needs some painting of bathrooms and updating in kitchen. Pool was big issue. Pool people only came once a week. We had urgent issue with pool and regular maintenance person was sent. Whenever we had a concern however, someone was there very quickly.

Perfect Spot on Siesta

We got so lucky finding this spot! This duplex is tucked in a neighborhood and is a 3-minute walk to the beach. So convenient! We loved having the beach caddy and chairs and the pool was great, too. There are several restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance and the house has bikes to use as well! We can’t wait to come back!

Great place to stay!

The location was excellent with easy access to various beaches. Our house was within walking distance to Point of Rocks Beach and the drive to Siesta Beach was a few miles. Enjoyed the sun and relaxing time spent at this home. Having all of the essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, beach towels, soap, etc.) provided upon arrival, along with the cupcakes for a welcoming treat, is a great perk. Loved our stay - wish it could have been longer!

Perfect get away!

The duplex was super clean in a great location. Very short walk to the beach. The pool was small but perfect for my two kids and my niece. I called management to clean the pool because of the rain it had too many leaves, I left to the beach thinking they would come the next morning, to my surprise management called their pool company and they came with in the hour and came two more times early in the morning making sure the pool was clean. Also my sister brought her pets and they have a pet cleaning service in the middle of the stay. I would recommend this place. Definitely will be back next summer.

Adequate but over-priced

We thought the unit was over-priced for location and services provided. Guests are requested to wash and fold towels and wash a load of sheets to assist housekeeping. This is not a lot of effort given that there is a stackable washer/dryer in each unit. However, it is unnerving to think that the cleanliness of your sheets and towels depends on the cooperation of the precious guest. Why not use a linen service? The unit is located about 1.5 blocks from the public access beach. We could have rented two smaller units closer to the beach for what we paid for this one.
