The condo was perfect. It was impeccably clean and well appointed. The hosts attention to every little detail made for an effortless and stress free getaway. Thank you!
We booked our trip last minute and this condo was absolutely perfect for us! Super easy walk to the beach, clean and cute, nice clean pool for when we wanted a break from the sand. They even had all the beach supplies you could need. We were super pleased with our stay and definitely will return in the future!
The condo is very conveniently located for the beach. The kitchen has everything you need, and the beds are very comfortable. You have to request visitor parking if you have family coming over, as they are strict about that. I really like the Siesta Key area, but I have to admit it was very expensive for the amount of space you get.
Our vacation in Siesta Key was wonderful! The condo was in a great location, very clean, and the owners were very easy to communicate with and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again if we return to Siesta Key
Easy access to beach, clean, lots of beach equipment, chairs, umbrella, wagon! Roku for tv viewing, lots of bath towels, clean unit overall. Owners were responsive when asked a question. Would recommend and stay again. Location, location, location!
Charming two bedroom condo with location that can’t be beat. Literally a 5 min walk to the private beach. Great location to the main road on the key where all the public shuttle stops are and close walking distance to Stickney point bridge. The condo was comfortable for 5 people in our family.
Bright & Beachy was just that. It was charming, well-stocked and just a very short walk to the white sands of Siesta beach. Host was great and responsive.
We had such a wonderful stay—thank you for sharing your condo with us. It truly felt like a home away from home. The space is roomy, beautifully decorated with beach touches, and the L-shaped couch was perfect for our family. Kitchen was roomy and provided much of our needs. The private beach access was absolutely stunning, and we also had the pleasure of meeting a few owners/tenants who were incredibly kind. We would absolutely love to return!
It was so convenient and just a short walk to the beach. The hosts thought of literally everything! The decor was so perfect and matched the theme of the beach location to a T. It was a great getaway and we would come back in a heartbeat.
This condo was perfect for our family! We wanted location and we got it with a comfortable and extremely well stocked condo. I was a little worried it didn’t have a washer in the condo but the washer and dryer on site were great. You’re on the beach in just a few steps! We didn’t use the pool so I can’t report on it because we just stayed on the beach. The location was walking distance to everything and the hopper was great as well. The hosts are FABULOUS!
The condo was decorated so beautiful with so many personal touches. We enjoyed the little things that make your guest feel welcome. Examples are coffee and creamers available, lots of towels and paper products, a packet of laundry and dishwasher detergent. The beds and linens were so comfortable. We also found the book with all the information very helpful. Wonderful stay!
The amenities were amazing and made it feel like it was home away from home. Just steps away from the beach with all the equipment needed to enjoy the beach or the pool. They thought of everything and had great recommendations for food and groceries. I would 100% stay here again. It was a quiet safe neighborhood, just an easy walk or trolley ride away from everything. Thanks for a great vacation!!
Such a great stay! Great location, nice place. Cozy, everything you could need and steps from private beach access. The best part? All beach equipment in the house! Wagon, chairs, beach toys, umbrellas, and a cooler, YES a cooler!! All included with the stay!!
Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025
About the host
Hosted by Maureen & David Thomas
We are empty-nesters who love South Florida and everything it has to offer for both living and vacationing. We feel very fortunate to have purchased this slice of paradise and have worked hard to make it homey, beachy and comfortable for all of our guests. We are very excited to share everything special about Siesta Key with each and every one of you.
We have lovingly named our unit "Finns", as it is both a nod to ocean and marine life, but also a remembrance of our beloved 3-legged Golden Retriever "Finnigan" whom we adored and miss dearly.
When we are not working, David and I can be found spending time with family, golfing, boating or beaching. We live just 20 mins down the road and have 3 grown children and one beautiful mutt named Sasha. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property due to its proximity to the beach/water and because we saw its potential. Its a piece of old FL history and we wanted to give it new life. After working hard on updates (paint, flooring, furniture, etc) we feel like its the perfect place to come back to after a day at the beach.
What makes this property unique
This property gives our guests direct private beach access (without having to cross busy streets), and without the high rental prices that other beach-front communities charge. Its located exactly in the middle of the key and has great access to both North Village, South Village and Turtle Beach.
