We spent two nights in the condo and were pleased with everything overall! The manager was super helpful with the check-in process; provided lots of details about the area; answered text questions promptly; and gave us a late check-out. The location was close to the beach, about a 7 minute quiet walk. There was a wagon, chairs and beach towels provided (the chairs were not low to the ground, they were more tall like bag chairs). We did not use the bikes, but they were in the process of putting some new ones together for our unit.
We enjoyed the covered porch area which had nice new furniture but we did not use the pool or hot tub area. The pool was very small and shared with another unit; it was located right outside the other unit and made us feel like we would be intruding their space.
We appreciated the air filter and the cold A/C inside, and liked the the white noise it provided. Our bed was comfortable and the bedroom closet was spacious with plenty of hangers. It was nice for each bedroom to have its own bathroom!! The kitchen seemed well stocked with essentials, though we did not cook or use the dishwasher (short trip…lots of dining out!). We liked the welcome basket of chocolates, potato chips and water in the fridge :)
It was about a 10 minute walk to the closest restaurant and bar area. There were maybe 4 restaurants, a couple little shops and a 7-Eleven. We did not use the trolley, since you had to wave it down on that part of the street and it didn’t seem to go by all that often. We did use the Frog Bus free transportation shuttle…saw the phone number on the bus and they were super quick to come get us. They work for tips and it was well worth it! We took it up to Siesta Key Village (not walkable from the condo) and it was about a 15 minute drive.
Overall we would recommend the condo, and would stay again. If you have a big group and could rent out all four units, it would be a great spot!!!
