Vacation Villa

Lovely vacation villa in Crescent Beach on Siesta Key. Part of a nice resort (Crystal Sands) with easy access to beautiful beach. Nicely decorated with a great screened porch. Conveniently located with a 10 minute walk to good restaurants and bars in Crescent Beach. Owner was great to work with and answered all inquiries/questions promptly. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. Plastic on lanai windows made it unusable though - no air flow -so too hot

We love Crystal Sands. The construction noise by the pool was a lot though - relentless until 4:30 M-F. The restrooms near the main pool ( beachside ) need some work - they often did not smell good. Our unit could use a few more larger beach towels but otherwise was delightful.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2017
Response from VrboOwner on 24 March 2020
Very happy you enjoyed your stay in the villa The "plastic" on the lanai windows are actually four -section vinyl panels. The panels easily slide up on their tracks, and end up stacked at the top so that 75% of the opening is uncovered. All of the openings are screened. There are six panels, on two sides of the lanai, so there is good air circulation and the lanai is quite usable all year long. There is also a ceiling fan on the lanai, because as you point out, it's hot in the summer. Thanks wish you had contacted me and I would have been able to explain this to you. I'm sorry it was a problem and impacted your enjoyment of the villa We have eight beach towels in two sizes. The larger ones are quite large, but the others are beach, not bath, size. Again, I'm sorry you were disappointed, and if you had contacted me, I would happily had you purchase others and reimbursed you I will be in Sarasota in a coup,e of weeks and take a look at this I will certainly agree with you about the construction. It is a necessary procedure which I informed you of before your vacation. Fortunately, it is only at the hirise building, so the noise doesn't affect the quality of life in the villas. It can be a bit noisy, however. By Thanksgiving, the work should be done, and by next year, additional improvements to the property will make things much improved In this case, our family was in the co do the week before you, and I was there for a couple of days immediately after. Your family took great care of the condo, which we certainly appreciate and thank you for. Overall, it sounds like you had an enjoyable time, and we'd love to have you back. Given the chance, we are looking to address any problems and improve our guests experience.

Beautiful Villa!!!

My husband, four children and I enjoyed a lovely 10 day stay in beautiful Villa #7 in the Crystal Sands complex. The villa has everything a family would need for a perfect beach vacation! From the fully stocked kitchen, to beach toys, beach chairs (should you wish to explore other beaches - although Siesta Key beach really is the most beautiful!), linens and even a beach cooler. We stayed in a condo in the tower in the past, but found the villa so much more convenient - especially with young children. Having the garage to store our beach items and of course to do our laundry (washer and dryer are conveniently located in the garage!) was so handy and kept the villa clutter and sand free. Siesta Key has so many amenities and restaurants close by - with Captain Curt’s, a grocery store and our favourite ice cream shop (Orange Octopus) a short walk away. We enjoyed trips to Siesta Key Village (Ciao Gelato is amazing!), Mote Marine Aquarium, Sarasota Jungle Gardens and Bayfront Park. We love Siesta Key and look forward to staying in Villa #7 again next year! Thanks Ritch for providing a perfect home for us!!

Wonderful Villa and Best Beach in USA

This was our 4th consecutive year staying at Villa 7 and we have already signed-up to return next year. This place is like our home away from home during January and February. The owner is so accommodating and always easily accessible. Every year the villa has something updated and he always wants to know what he can do to improve the villa. Having an attached garage is a big plus and it is full of beach toys and chairs. Of course the best part is the beach. Siesta Key is one of the best beaches you will ever find and we have been to many. You can't go wrong renting this property.

Loved the Villa

We've been going to the Florida gulf coast for several weeks the past 3 winters and this is the best place we've found. The villa is spacious is nicely furnished with upgrades through out. We especially appreciated the garage and the full size washer and drier. Of course the best part of staying in Siesta Key is the beach. The sand is like no where else we have stayed and there were plenty of chairs available, although the villa is well stocked with beach chairs, an umbrella (a must have for long afternoons in the sun), and beach toys. We found the owner, Ritch, to very accommodating. He even provided us with a brand new crock pot when we asked if there was one available. We have already signed-up for 6 weeks next year!

Great condo and beautiful beach!

We just got back from a fabulous week at the beach. While the weather was not perfect, we thought the condo and the area were. As a family of 2 youngsters, the condo was perfect for us. It was cozy and very well-appointed with kitchen amenities and beach toys. The owner is great and he was very helpful in recommending activities and he clearly cares for his property as a home and not just a rental unit.

We have visited Siesta Key for many years. Although we are generally right on the beach, this place was a pleasant short walk and had the option of a sreet side pool nearby as well as a pool on the beach. Also, Ritch the owner is so easy to work with - going out of his way to be helpful. The place itself is clean and updated so the overall experience is very positive!

This was our second stay in this unit. The unit is great for families and well maintained. The unit has always been clean. We like the extra large bedroom and updated bath. The garage keeps our car cool. There is a great screened lanai off the den. The washer and dryer are a must when you have a family and they are recently installed.

Great Place

We have been to Siesta Key on multiple occasions and this was definitely one of our favorite locations! Highlights for us were the beach-side pool, easy access to the beach and bathroom and kitchen updates in the villa. We have a 2 and 4-year-old and the owners even provided plenty of beach toys and other fun stuff to keep them entertained. The owners were also extremely easy to work with and made all of the transactions very smooth. I highly recommend this villa for most everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Ritchard Lewis

Host profile image
Debbie and I live in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Both of our families are from Cleveland, and most of our families are still here. We have a pretty quiet life, and enjoy spending time with our two boys. Winter is too long in Cleveland, and we always look forward to our next chance to be on Siesta Key!

Why they chose this property

My family has been going to Siesta Key since 1960. It sure is a different place now, but you still find the casual beach lifestyle that made it popular. My parents bought a condo in Crystal Sands when it was being built, and it was natural for us to be in the same complex when we were buying. We never get tired of being there, our kids love going, and we are always looking forward to our next visit whenever we leave.

What makes this property unique

Number one is, of course, Crescent Beach. Its a wide, flat beach where the sand does not get hot, and it goes on for miles. Within Crystal Sands, you will find a more residential feeling development than many on the Key. The villas are on small streets that run off the main drive; there isn't a stream of traffic running past your door. It is quiet and safe. The grounds are beautiful, and well maintained. The pools are beautiful and heated.

Siesta Key is a beach community, and we've tried to provide that comfortable beach experience in our condo. We hope you will agree!
