Wonderful

The biggest problem was that it said it was a five minute walk to the beach. This was very misleading since it was about a mile to the beach access. Not easy to get to with chairs etc. The property itself was nice. We enjoyed sitting on the dock. I would not recommend this property if you want easy access to the beach.

Week in Condo on Siesta Key
We spent a week with only a small issue with the door lock that was easily and remotely resolved. We were very satisfied with the stay. The staff was very helpful before and during our stay.

Condo was great and was as listed. A lot of great amenities. The in unit laundry is a must for us so we were glad to have that. The pool was great. Very clean and so close to the beach! Utilize the Jonny’s free ride service if you stay in this area!

The condo was absolutely spotless! It looks exactly as what you see in the pictures.
We will definitely stay again if in Siesta Key! The free trolley gets you to the beach access points. Beach access 12 is only about a 12 minute walk. Lots to do in the area. The condo was spotless and had everything we needed!

Anniversary Celebration
We had a lovely two weeks at Bay Oaks celebrating our 45th anniversary! The condo was beautiful and had everything a person would need. It was just a short drive to get to Siesta Key Beach! Also, there were many restaurants in the area which were fabulous. Looking forward to coming back again!

Good location - short walk to Stickney bridge restaurant area, about 20 minute walk to Siesta Beach. Even faster using free trolley. Has everything you need for the beach, which is helpful, including wagon, chairs, cooler, towels. Updated kitchen, bathrooms seem original and small but in perfect working order. Host was readily available by text for questions. Nice pool, too!

The overall the property was good. There were a few problems that should be improved.
The bedskirt was dirty, the pillowcase also has a stains of the blood, or something like that on it. Master bedroom also has sone stains that didn’t come out.The facet on the kitchen didn’t change the water stream and works only in the shower mode.The manager was understanding.

Overall, the property was nice, but it definitely was showing its age. That I am fine with. What was difficult is that I cook a lot. There was literally NOTHING in the kitchen. Not even salt&pepper shakers. Never have I rented a property that was so stark.

Thanks for your review Dennis! The complex is an older complex as so many on Siesta Key are but this unit is nicely updated. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, etc. We do not however keep oils or spices as it is not a good idea food safety-wise to keep these items from guest to guest. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again in the future.

This unit perfectly fit our needs as a family of 5 adults visiting family in the area. Location was great as we got to see the sunrise on the fishing dock behind the property where we also met other guests/ residents and saw dolphins, osprey, white pelicans, and other kinds of wildlife.... as well as sunset at the beach. It was a nice walk or short trolley ride to Crescent or Siesta beach and the unit provided towels, chairs and a cart if needed. We took advantage of free activities offered also and had a great time. As someone who grew up on Siesta Key, it was just like being back home but getting to be a tourist! I would be prepared for the trash dumpster outside this bldg being emptied early in the morning twice during the week if you're not an early riser. But that was well worth everything else the unit had to offer and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
