The place was very clean and well kept with everything we needed for our week’s stay. Loved the location, a block from the beach and a short walk to the village. A little more room around the pool and a few less shade trees around it would be an improvement for those who’d rather sunbathe by a pool instead of the beach. But otherwise it all was lovely. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5⭐️ review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, the location, and that the home had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Being just a short walk to both the beach and the Village really is something special. Thank you as well for your thoughtful feedback regarding the pool area. Here in Florida, especially during the summer months, the heat can become quite intense, so we are always very grateful for every bit of natural shade we can get. It helps keep the space comfortable for guests throughout the day. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I would love to welcome you back anytime for another stay on Siesta Key!

Beautiful condo, close to beach. We were in Siesta Key to see the Sand sculptures and location was perfect as we could walk. Downtown area is very cute. Condo was very comfortable for 3 couples and very clean. We didn’t have time to use pool but it looked beautiful. Check in and booking were extremely easy and owner was very accommodating. If we are in the area again, would definitely love to stay again at this lovely condo.

Host profile image

Whether you are buying, selling or investing in Sarasota Real Estate, you need an acknowledged expert, by your side and as your guide. Someone who has actually done what you are setting out to do, again and again. That expert is Virginia Heidersberger.

Virginia has been personally involved as a buyer, seller and investor in a wide variety of area Real Estate transactions for over 29 years, from multi-million dollar mansions to small investment properties, amassing a large and diverse portfolio of residential and business properties. As a professional licensed Real Estate Broker, Virginia brings to you the same skills that she utilizes for her own Real Estate investment, from property evaluation to marketing, from strong negotiation skills to equally impressive selling skills.

Having spent much of her life in Europe, Virginia is as comfortable with overseas investors and buyers as she is with their American counterparts, expanding your horizons and your sales opportunities.

As impressive as her Real Estate successes have been, it is only part of Virginia's story. Starting out as a nurse, she turned her love of medicine into a successful medical services and supplies business with nearly 60 employees, which she sold before moving here in 1997.

Virginia finishing her pre-med perquisites to eventually study medicine.

Upon arrival in Sarasota, she bought 'Gumbo Limbo', a small vacation resort on Siesta Key, and the rest is history! If you want someone who knows this market; someone who has built a record of consistent success buying, selling and investing in Real Estate; someone with the people skills and decision-making skills that a skilled entrepreneur develops; someone with the level of caring that years in the OR has instilled in her, make Virginia your choice. You won't be disappointed!

Why they chose this property
