Thank you Ms. Melinda for your excellent review.
We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back in the near future.
It’s small, but perfect for two. Easy walk or trolley ride to the market area.

Thank you Keith for your review.
You rented a 1 bedroom / 2 baths townhouse (Honeymoon Suite) over 2 floors with 2 balconies. This townhouse is one of our larger 1 bedroom apartments, but please note that we have 2 & 3 bedroom apartments and even single family homes for rent also :)
Please come back in the near future.

Loved the location and the property. The Host was available and communicated with us quickly. Siesta Key is a beautiful beach!
We honeymooned in the Honeymoon Suite. The place was amazing. Beautifully decorated, close to the beach, amazing pool, and quiet location. We loved it. Would highly recommend!

Place was terrific. Needs new screens but other than that loved the place and location. Can walk to public siesta beach access. And not too far from the village bars/restaurants.

Good vacation spot
Nice location so close to the beach! We loved the pool, grills and access to the chairs and umbrella! 10am seems a little too early for checkout and the water in the showers never really got hot-just lukewarm.

Dear John & Cynthia,
Thank you for your review.
In your text messages to me you stated that you are "LOVING" the Honeymoon Suite and that "ALL IS AWESOME". After I read your review I checked on the water temperature of each shower in the Honeymoon suite and both of them had HOT water, but you need to let it run for about 1-2 minutes before it gets hot. Also, you may have had the dishwasher running, or a load of laundry at that time, or another person before you had taken a long shower and the water heater needed to reheat water.
Your complaint about the check-out time: We work with a cleaning company who needs to start at 10:00 AM, but promises to be done with all our 16 apartments no later than 4:00 PM (often they are done earlier, so new arriving guest can check-in earlier too), and if they cannot start cleaning on time the cleaning staff moves on to other vacation rentals on the island and will not come back the same day. Now we all have "instant booking" online, and imagine we get a reservation in last minute, than the new guests will arrive to a dirty apartment. I explained all of that to you in detail, but believe it or not, I know for fact that most small accommodations on Siesta Key have 10:00 AM as a check out time. I have managed and owned my rentals for 20 years and I am always trying to please my costumers, but I do not clean my apartments, and so I have to work with the cleaning company's rules. You did not mention that I had offered you an "early check-in (8:00 AM)" if you wanted it for NO extra charge because the apartment had been cleaned the day before your arrival. I think that is noteworthy too. Sorry, but I take all reviews to my heart and would like guests to know that it is not an easy job to please each guest, but I ALWAYS try. It is easy to discredit and write negative reviews that can hurt a business. Please think about this when writing your next review and remarks that could have been discussed with the manager / owner / me. Instead of 5 starts you gave me 4 for reasons that weren't really "REASONS." I make a living with renting my apartments and not getting an excellent review may cost me potential costumers.
However, thank you for having stayed at my resort and that you enjoyed your stay.
Best,
Virginia
This is our second time staying here and we absolutely love it. The place is amazing. Super close walk to the beach. And the kids love the pool. Couldn’t ask for more. We just got home and are already looking forward to our next stay at Gumbo Limbo.
The unit was just right for the two of us. Pool area was lovely. Location to the beach was great. About a 5 minute walk to the beach and 15 minute walk to town. Could use more beach chairs if the units are full. All in all it was awesome.

The property is as advertised. Conveniently located close to the beach and about a 15 min walk to town. The property is a little dated, but with nice updates. It was clean and well maintained. Perfect home base for exploring.
Location was fabulous. The pool area was lovely. The kitchen could have used a few more things for cooking. Cute place. Stairs to the unit and more stairs to the bedroom.
