Siesta Key Vacation Rental Near Beaches!

Reviews

• Sufficient Accomodations

  3/5

  Unit 718 met the basic needs for 6 adults. View was beautiful, nice pool & seating area on the harbor side, less than 5 minute drive to the public beach access. Unit needs a thorough deep cleaning and upgrades to give it a higher rating.

  It was 78 degrees on arrival & never cooled 2 relax. The sheets R cheap, old, snagged & felt sandy. The pillows R crappy & smell sweaty. The blinds R broken so exit the shower anyone could see you. We had the main door open & a box fan sucking cool air from the hall. The kids were cooler on the tile floor then the beds. If you cook in be ready to sweat. Grilling was nice but the patio furniture was jammed into a room & you’ll have to move tables to sit. The pool closes at dusk so we couldn’t cool off at night. The fire alarm went off in the AM (construction) & cost us our morning. The pool was noisy from demo. We had 1 key fob so someone was always knocking to be let in. The demo crew got locked out too. The bedding is fleece, to hot to sleep with. One bed had what looked like blood stains. Katia was nice but not accommodating at all. She had other units but never offered to move us only to call when we come back. “It was a design flaw with the hvac”, we were told. Dust covered all vents. We used a tarp over the blinds. I’d return to Harbor Towers but I’d call them directly!! Katia, the host, said the work on the building shouldn’t have affected our stay because our window was clear. I was never notified of any demoing. The demo will last for 2 yrs!

• Nice Condo, The HOA & Property will harass you

  3/5

  The condo we stayed in was nice but the HOA Board and members harass you if your music is too loud at the pool because you are a renter but residents music was louder than ours. Also even though I had said I had a service dog in advance and was given the okay. I was harassed and they even called the police. There are residents that have dogs though.

  Hi Shelley, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to clarify the following: The reservation was originally made for five guests, yet the property was occupied by ten guests. Unfortunately, this exceeded our maximum occupancy policy, leading to the involvement of the police. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.

• Nice quiet place

  4/5

  We enjoyed our stay. I would only suggest keeping the blinds closed (some were broken) during the day. Our unit didn’t regulate until four or five days into our trip. The space is relatively nice. We purchased a fan and left some beach items for guests in the future. Overall, it a good place for you to share with your family or friends.

  5/5

  Beautiful view on the top floor of the gulf and the bay from bedroom.Spacious apartment, very responsible guest Katia helped with every question I needed.

  The check in was very easy - no lines, no offices, just code and key box.

  Free parking in the front of the building and free parking on the beach 5 min drive or 15 min walk.

  The territory of the building is amazing- pool, bay view with sun-beds. The only few recommendations- need at least two pairs of key sets,

  Beach umbrella.

  Apartment also needs some updates but in general we enjoyed our stay in siesta key.
