Can’t say enough about our stay Thanksgiving week. Unit was well stocked in the kitchen plus a great welcome basket of snacks. A whole closet full of beach stuff in like new condition. Furnished nicely with beds you can actually sleep on. Carpet looks like new, new sliding glass doors that opened to the porch with amazing views. And the plus was the unit was immaculately clean with plenty of fresh linens. I can honestly say it was the best experience we have ever had with Vrbo!!! Thank you Vickie, Abe and Jason. :)

This condo was amazing. The hosts were easy to communicate with and answered any questions in a timely manner. They went above and beyond on the amenities they provided: fresh fruit, snacks, bottled water, toiletries and a fully stocked closet full of beach toys and beach umbrella. The balcony is huge and has the most amazing views. My only suggestion for the condo is the king bed is a bit hard and a foam topper may be a nice fix for that. The location of this condo is perfect. With its own private beach it is not crowded, yet you have miles of beach to walk. All though they recommend having a car, we did not have one, the Siesta Breeze free public transportation stop is at the front of the condo. We also used trolleys that work for tips to get around the island. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved the basic property and location. Many of the basic necessities were provided which was much appreciated. We think the master and guest bedrooms (walk-in shower) should be reversed. The bathrooms need to be updated.
