Great stay at Crystal Sands

We stayed in one of the Crystal Sands villas for 2 weeks April/May. When we checked in, all was clean and exactly as pictured. The villa is well kept and had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. And the beach, best I've been on in Florida. The Siesta Key Trolly made it fun and easy to get down to the Villages without taking our car. So many bars and restaurants to choose from. iTrip provided all the entry details before hand. I especially like that the touchpad lock to enter the villa was programmed to be part of my cell number. So no random number to try and remember.

The property was not cleaned good before we arrived. The one bedroom door would get stuck and you couldn’t open it. A handyman came out and was there for maybe 2 minutes and didn’t fix it properly so it continued to get stuck. The location is nice and a very nice walk to the beach.

Crystal Sands is Fantastic!

Location, location, location! It doesn't get any better than Crystal Sands on Siesta Key Beach. The villa is clean, spacious, secure and very comfortable. It felt like home after a couple days and it was very painful to leave. A couple things to note. Parking in front of some of the villa's and the garages are quite tight. Get a very compact car if you will be parking there. The general parking area is fine for all size vehicles. A few things that can be improved is things like grab bars for seniors. The secondary bathroom could do with an upgrade, toilet and shower. A few issues came up and property management took care of them pretty quickly and they were easy to contact via email or phone. It really is a beautiful property and amazing location. Thanks VRBO and iTrip Vacations!

Villa not complete. Not as advertised.

Villa did not look like pictures. Garage was completely full of owners stuff. Kitchen faucet had very low water pressure. Many items still need repair from hurricane damage. Closet doors missing throughout. Tv in guest room did not work - had to be replaced. Furniture was uncomfortable and did not match pictures. Very poor lighting throughout. Food in fridge often froze even at lower temperatures. Drawers in bedrooms full of owner’s belongings.
