Loved our experience. Everyone was kind and helpful. Location was amazing. The condo was large and very comfortable. Loved the easy access to the beach.
We had the perfect spring break getaway at this Siesta Key rental! The location was ideal—close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer, but far enough away from the crowds to truly relax and unwind.The property itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly peaceful. We especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, which made it easy to cook meals and feel right at home.Having security on site added an extra level of comfort, and we always felt safe during our stay.Overall, this was exactly the kind of relaxing, stress-free vacation we were hoping for. We would absolutely stay here again!

The unit has a great view and close proximity to the beach! It also is a great size with comfortable furnishings. Some of the cookware needs replacing (minor issue), but other than that, the place has everything you would need. Very much enjoyed our stay there.

Reviewer Comments:
Hurricane Debby ruined our beach time for the 3 days we were there. That is not the resort’s fault, but the resort should have evacuated the guests and offered refunds for the impacted days.Most importantly, the windows in our unit (9 south) did NOT have hurricane-impact windows and were shaking uncontrollably during the peak of the storm on Sunday night. My wife and daughter were terrified. Guests in other units I spoke with did not experience the windows shaking like we did.Also, the area near the car port was flooded even BEFORE the storm.Finally, on Monday night I accidentally locked myself out of the unit, and there was no employee on site to help me open it. I had to call a locksmith, who charged me $140 to open our door.

Lovely spot. First time staying here. Units are big. Very roomy. Could be a little cleaner. Found food, full cracker actually, crumbs, one shoe and kids toy under coffee table. What? Grounds very clean and neat. Smoke free property is not enforced. Cigars and cigarette butts all around outside tables every morning. Open smoking at common area tables every day.

We loved our stay. A short walk to the beach & pool. Very comfy seemed to be cleaned well also. New beautiful walk in shower in master. Kitchen was well equipped except they could use a few non stick frying pans. One issue we did have was trying to get a hold of the management after we checked out to try and retrieve a very expensive item that we had left behind. Could not get anyone to return a call or text after4 or 5 attempts. Never got the item returned (which we offered to pay for) very disappointing end to a nice vacation.

We’ve been coming to the Island House for many years. We don’t even consider staying anywhere else on Siesta Key. This year we enjoyed staying in 9S! Nicely decorated, clean, comfortable seating, great to be on the first floor, and the view included the beach and beautiful foliage! It was wonderful! We hope to stay in this unit again!

We just got back from the Island House 9S 2 days ago, we had an amazing time and the view of the ocean and palm trees is incredible (especially at sunset!) We love the lanai, ground level beach access, and the private beach (with beach lounge chairs included!) for all Island House guests. We were there during Spring Break and St Patricks Day; however, you wouldn’t know it with the privacy and space on the private beach. Parking was covered and another parking space was provided for guests. All of the decor was nicely appointed. The staff at Island House are so easy to work with and very nice people. 9S was very clean. We already booked for next year during the same week.

We come to Siesta Key as often as possible and Island House is always the preferred place to stay. The design of the condo buildings gives every condo unit a great view of the Gulf. Crescent Beach is as beautiful as it gets. We've stayed in several units over the years; this year was 9S and it delivered - very bright and clean. Nothing beats morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the lanai.

We love the apt and the location. We have stayed in this apt for 5 going on 6 years next year (already booked). There are some issues we would like to stress. The sliding glass door is terrible, doesn't lock and is always getting stuck. In the master bathroom the cabinet has a hole in it and we had issues with roaches and it would be great to have a shower instead of a tub. All the appliances had some kind of issue or didn't work. It's probably time for new vacuum. Lastly, the cleaning at arrival was not good at all. Please don't take this as if we weren't happy, we were but these are items that if upgraded would make the apt that much better.
