Midnight Cove Stay

Everything was wonderful! Lionel was so organized and kept us up to date on all of the planning, The lanai view was our favorite. Peaceful and quiet, yet reminded us of our boat at home. Great docks! Close to beach and grocery store as well as many bars and restaurants. I'm talking walking distance! Senior daughter in hs and always felt good knowing she was close by. Thanks again Lionel and Sally for a great stay in Siesta!

Wonderful week!!!

Our stay was outstanding!!! Lionel was a tremendous host, in fact he met us at check in to go thru entire condo. Very clean, comfortable first floor unit with an outstanding lanai with an awesome view of the boats coming into the canal. Awesome pool, and private access to the wonderful beach right across the street. 1 block walk to awesome restaurants and stores. Best part of Siesta key is you don’t need a car as there is a free trolley that runs all day to the Siesta village, a 5 minute ride. We had a wonderful week, wish it was longer!! Outstanding condo with a wonderful location!!

The guest's review was quite surprising and unjustified. When she alerted us of a bug problem, we responded immediately (within an hour) with an extermination service.Also, this is a first notice we received from a guest about a bug problem in years! We regularly receive extermination service from our condo maintenance, so future guests should disregard this irrational commentary.

Very nice condo, great location!

We really enjoyed our stay at Midnight Cove Bayside. The condo was clean, comfortable and cozy. Kitchen was well equipped. The screened in patio was great for meals or relaxing. The location was great. Having the beach access and chairs and umbrellas available was a big plus! The bayside pool was nice, water was nicely heated. No problem getting a chair or lounger. The gulf side pool is usually included, but it is closed due to hurricane damage and will not be available until Aug. 2025. That was a little disappointing, but no big deal since there was the Bayside pool. Easy walking distance to several restaurants, convenience stores and bus stop is right out front for the Breeze bus (free) or the Frog Hopper, which operates on tips. We would gladly consider Midnight Cove for future vacations!

Great vacation at Midnight Cove

We enjoyed a return visit to this unit at Midnight Cove. The resort has a great location. It is a few steps from the unit to the canal connecting to the Intracoastal Waterway, and a short walk across the road to the beach. Having access to free beach chairs and umbrellas is a nice addition. The unit is comfortable and has what one needs for a relaxing stay. The beds are comfortable and there are 2 full bathrooms. There is a tv in each room, with large one in the main area. Temperature control works well and there are overhead fans in the 2 bedrooms. The lanai overlooks the canal and the pool is a short walk away. The complex is quiet at night. The location is very convenient. It is 100 yd from the Stickney Point bridge onto Siesta Key, making it relatively easy to get on and off the island. There are shops and places to eat within 2 blocks, and many more options in Siesta Village or across the bridge onto mainland Sarasota. The owners are very responsive should any questions or issues arise.

Wonderful stay

We enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing 2+ week stay in this 2-bedroom 2 bath ground floor condo. It is very comfortable, well furnished, and has all one needs for your stay. The beds are very comfortable. Free Wi-Fi is included. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai looking out at the canal, which is located just a few feet away. Fishermen can throw a line in the water from the pier. If you are not familiar with Midnight Cove it is a very relaxing complex that is on both the Intracoastal(Bayside) and Gulf (Gulfside) right around the corner from the Stickney Bridge, offering convenient access on and off Siesta Key. This condo is on the Bayside, with private access to the beach a short walk across the road. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for free on the beach. There is a fitness center, pool, and pickleball courts on the Bayside, with a tennis court and pool on the Gulfside. The owner is easy to communicate with and very responsive to any issues that might arise. Siesta Key is a great vacation location. The sand on the beach is the softest we have seen, like powdered sugar. There are a number of restaurants and shops on the island, and many more back on the mainland.

Worst rental

I’m sorry to say this was a terrible rental for us due to safety concerns and just a dirty and not well kept condo. There were electrical problems, air conditioner not working properly, rug was replaced at our request but place was not properly cleaned for sometime. Electrical sockets would often not hold a plug would fall out on floor. And one night I ran into a cockroach on the bathroom. I requested help from VRBO but received nothing but a run around. This was a 4 week rental for lots of money but I could only stay 1 week because of condition of the condo lost out on a lot of money. Sorry to say this was a huge disappointment.

Anyone reading this review should automatically disregard it. In all our years renting this apartment and receiving mostly positive reviews (4.7% Excellent rating), we have never had to deal with such despicable people. They were negative from the day they arrived. Their two main complaints were concerning the area rug, which they claimed was dirty and what they claimed was a musty smell in the bedroom. We immediately went out and purchased a brand new rug and bought air fresheners for all the rooms.. Suddenly, their attitude changed and they wrote us this very positive message: "Lionel and Sally - thank you very much for your willingness to address the issues we had. Whoever chose the rug did a great job it makes room look brighter. You may have a lifetime supply of air freshener but that not bad thing. I will honor your wish to not leave review but with your effort to correct the issues my review would not be negative. I will also contact vrbo to let them know issues have been resolved to our satisfaction. Thanks". Then, a suddden change of mood. I asked, "Is there anything more we can do?" They said "No" and they vacated the apartment after staying for a week. By the end of their rental period, they insisted on a full refund. We have never had to deal with such irrational people, and we would warn other property owners to stay away from them.

The apartment had mold in several rooms as well as ants in the kitchen

This apartment should not be listed for following reason: -excessive mold in one of the bedrooms and inside the kitchen -excessive mold inside the venting system in kitchen, both bedroom -ants all over the kitchen in general an unhealthy environment which needs a big renovation including the venting system -the owner was not willing to reimburse anything and homeaway says this has to be solved with the owner. End of the story is we had to pay for a hotel room for the night we arrived and had to book another place. So we paid double for our vacation!! PS: pictures and videos are available to proof all of my statement and were shared with homeaway. Everybody needs to be aware that homeaway is not responsible for the quality of any property you book (even they state in case of an unsafe environment they will). Any claim has to be discussed with the owner of the property and if he does not agree on anything the only way is going to the court. Klaus

You can disregard everything that this person says about the apartment. He is a totally dishonest person with evil intensions. Here is his motivation for criticizing our apartment. It's so incredible, you won't believe it! He arrived here, planning to rent the apartment. But he had second thoughts about staying, fearing the Corona Virus and wanted to cancel and return home. He demanded a full refund. VRBO allows hosts to offer a credit for a future rental in lieu of a refund. We offered him this option, but he insisted on a full refund. So this is what he did: He blackmailed us! He told us he had changed his mind and wanted to continue with the rental. He entered the apartment with the intention of taking photos of supposed defects and then said he was going to ask for a refund based on the allegation that the apartment was not what was advertised. He said he would do this unless we gave him his refund (blackmail). Obviously, he thought he could use this bogus excuse to get his refund. He then said he was going to ask his bank for a chargeback. Apparently, his bank refused to honor the chargeback. So, he became enraged and wanted to take his revenge. Our listing has a 5-star rating on VRBO and this is the first negative review we have ever received.

Exceeded expectations!!

What an amazing experience!! Our stay at Siesta Key was perfect thanks to this beautiful property. I cannot thank you enough for sharing it with my family and I. This condo is clean and has everything you need, even beach towels and toys! Midnight Cove is very well maintained and the people are so friendly. This property is at the south end of the island, within walking distance to some great shops and restaurants (even with kids ages 5 and 7). We loved the private beach, very easy to access and comes with chairs and umbrella! The main village is just a short trolley ride or drive down the road, we preferred being closer to the quaint south island village! Spearfish grill and Jake's ice cream shop were our favorites. If you are considering this property it will not disappoint. Thank you, we hope to stay with you again next year!!

Great location!

Just spent a month in this condo, which is conveniently located at the Southern end of Siesta Key. The condo has all of the amenities of your home. The beds are great and the towels were wonderful. Within walking distance of restaurants and grocery. Fishing is just outside your door in a canal off of the intercoastal waterway which provided good fishing. The beach is across the street with complimentary chairs and umbrellas. You cannot go wrong in renting this condo which we are doing again next year!
