For the price, these apartment units at Bella Villino are a great deal. When my wife and I first…read moredecided we were moving to Sarasota, this was the first place we looked at. Unfortunately, we wanted a larger unit with hardwood and they didn't have one available. Daria is the lease manager and she was kind enough to show us around on short notice. They have a really nice pool and weight room and it seems like a great neighborhood in Palmer Ranch. There is a Lowe's and Target within walking distance and the Costco is about 1 mile away. Check their website for an updated list of apartment rentals but a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom will cost you about $1,350.00. We decided to pay a lot more and move to Siesta Key but the units we viewed were really nice. It's worth a look for sure!

I'm not sure why there's a review that talks abt roaches and mold, but doesn't specify what exactly…read morewas the problem. I bought my unit and when I gutted the kitchen there was a little mold on the wall behind the kitchen sink. Got a spray from Lowes, you spray it and then wipe and that's that. Mold is gone and wall is sealed. But you have to understand those kitchen cabinets were 20 yrs old and this is Florida. Also the renters who lived here were horrible. There was dog pee stains on the carpet (was the first thing I ripped out). What kind of ppl wouldn't walk their god? Abhorrent. Anyway, there was no mold anywhere else. Besides, I had the unit inspected before I bought it. About the roaches, all and all, last year (2021) I saw 3 roaches (palmettos). All during the summer. First I must say I live on the 3rd floor. So I found one in my bathtub (gross) probly came from the pipes, and the others my cat was chasing lol nice live toys for him. He kills them eventually. No need for sprays. So that's that. There's awesome pool, nice gym, tennis court, landscaping is beautiful. My neighbors are all awesome. Management is on premises and very nice as well. I'm very happy I bought here when I did. Also it's very close to siesta. I go there on my ebike (there's a bike lane on the US41!) takes me 20min, door to beach (crescent beach)!

I was advised by a Sarasota realtor that pelican cove condos might be a good fit for me and that I…read moreshould drive over and take a look. The grounds are beautiful and I was excited to view a couple units. When I entered the office the two office workers seemed puzzled about what I was requesting. All units must be shown by a realtor... which is fine but they called in perhaps a property manager...name might be Cindy...she may be the rudest person I have ever met. She walked in, accused us of trespassing, told us we needed a new realtor and to only come back if we had a realtor. I told her I would not need a realtor because I would NEVER live there! If this woman is the face of pelican cove I feel sorry for anyone attempting to move in or sell their condo

Siesta Key and Siesta Sands On The Beach Hit all the marks for me. Great Beach, excellent clean Motel, & great Food & cocktails nearby. A Very short walk away from the Motel. 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.

Nothing else needed. Park right at your door & walk in to a first or second floor unit. Only 16 units total, all with direct beach view & access. You can view the individual condo units online and chose the one you want. Flexibility to rent a few nights or a week. We rented unit 71 for 3 nights. We preferred 1st floor as you have a small patio on the front and back. #71 is one bedroom but has sofa pull-out bed if desired. The owner has it fully engineered with 3 ceiling fans, USB ports, storage everywhere, kitchen with all dish-ware, 2 TV's, plus all the little items you may have forgotten to bring. Well thought out for many little conveniences. Bonus, it is only a 7 minute walk to the village where there are many shops, restaurants, etc., but little parking available day or night. We walked to the Summer House and the Cottage and recommend both.

DO NOT LIVE HERE NOW! Bruce, the owner of the management company who " runs" CitySide is uninvolved, uncaring, and a liar. He constantly fires staff who dare to actually take care of residents. So many other great choices downtown. Multiple emails and phone calls unanswered, caste-like atmosphere where the residents are treated as the lowest class.

You can walk or use the exercise room or swim for exercise, Next door is not only the restaurants but a marina where you can rent boats or go for a "short cruise". You'll love it, its home in heaven!

One of our favorite features was the two heated pools, including an adults-only pool. Even when the weather was a little cooler, the water was warm and comfortable.

They also offer food and drinks at the beach. The room rates are affordable for everything the resort offers, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
