The Motel is Literally On the beach & a short walk to the village where all the action is. I enjoyed a Clean spotless room with excellent hospitality. Easy check in & check out.

Sea Shell Condo's are located on Crescent Beach, Siesta Key. This is probably the perfect place for a wedding as well. Prices are on the high end, figure about $200 per night + tax. Beach front view will run you $200 - $300 per night + tax - http://www.seashellcondos.com/rates/ I guess it comes down to your standards and how much you want to spend. These look worth the price to me for sure! Great for 4 people. They have a nice pool too! The nice thing is the location, right across the street from Captain Curt's. Also Stickney Pointe Rd is almost right across the street. For those staying during holiday weekends like July 4th, you won't to wait in that Siesta Key Beach traffic.

If I can give this sh*thole negative stars I would. We stayed in the Buttonwood Cottage for a…read morebachelorette party and our experience was literally awful. On our second night there, a roach the size of a bunny rabbit was found crawling on the wall in the brides bedroom. We were immediately disgusted. Later that night, an additional four roaches were found. One in the kitchen, which was killed. One in the living room, which was also killed under magazines. And two under the bed in the brides bedroom, one alive and one dead. We immediately got in touch with the property manager Misty, but due to the late hours, we did not hear back until the next morning. Misty was informed of the disgusting situation and advised us that this same cottage has had a roach problem in the past. She told us she would contact the owner who was currently traveling, and in order for an exterminator to come spray, the cottage had to be emptied. We informed Misty we will be out all day on a boat and provided her with numerous phone numbers for her to contact with an update. She never called or followed up with anyone. We also told her that we would like to be moved, or quite honestly just leave and stay at a hotel. That night, a sixth roach was found. That was honestly the breaking point. Hotels were booked and ubers were called and we left there by 11:30 PM. We told Misty what was going on and wanted to come to an agreement of some sort of refund. Instead of responding to our calls and emails, they decided to charge us a $75 fee for "trashing" the cottage. We left in a hurry, and unopened food items were left behind. However, anything that was opened was disposed of and all the decorations were taken down. We were refunded the $75 and one nights stay, which quite honestly is not acceptable. The cottage was not livable. Not only were there 6 roaches, there were flies EVERYWHERE. Being married to an exterminator, I can honestly say that this cottage has a huge issue that is not being properly taken care of. We found multiple holes under the bed that lead to outside which is clearly where some of the roaches are coming from. Not only did we barely get responses from Misty, the owner, or booking.com, Misty also accused us of lying, putting rubber roaches all over the house, and disconnecting the WiFi. We had no idea the cottage even had WiFi and Misty admitted to not checking the cottage after the cleaning service left. Do not stay here. This place is disgusting and has a serious moisture problem.

Many are identical in build just painted different colors. However the murals create a true tropical flair for the region. My Mom, a rather large woman said she thinks she could live in ond of those houses and for homeless and especially for the homdless vets, I believe it would solve so many issues of getting them off the streets, offering safe environments and something tangible they can call their own. Wish we had many more small home sites. Living in Florida I get hurricanes are a big oroblem so perhaps much further away from water and opened areas would afford the well needed fit!

The two restaurants are very nice, each in their own way. The two pools are very nice and one is an adult only pool (which is a great feature). The one significant downside is the fact that the all of the facilities are available to the public. People who are not guests can simply walk off the beach and use the pools (the towels are available without a room pass) and dine at either of the restaurants. Also the food at the restaurants is spotty in quality.

This is not the old friendly Siesta Key Inn. as a long time guest I can honestly say I am extremely…read moredisappointed in the direction they have chosen. A once friendly resort has turned downwards. First the ownership will no longer communicate directly with future guests and has retained a new management company, without notifying long term guests. And of course new policies are in place. Once your security deposit is given you are out of luck if you need to make a change. In other words your $$$ are gone. Last year they owned two properties and they sold the one closer to the beach. It's also worth noting the area has changed dramatically. Beach access yes, but good luck trying to find a spot to sit. The hotels have claimed the beach front and you will need to walk quite a distance to find a spot. Also the width of the beach has deteriorated due to the reduction of the sandbar. With all these changes it's time to find a friendlier location. And the response from the Owners during these changes will be crickets. Shame on you Koch family!
