There's something to be said about beach and valet staff who remember your name and cater to your every need. I arrived and asked for a good view, and a little sun and the umbrella was placed perfectly to meet this request. Drilled in the sand and positioned just right above my chair. The wait staff were hit or miss, You could order a cocktail wait so long that you're literally be thirsty, order another after searching for someone and at drop off, they'd see the ice in your bucket is melted and do nothing unless you ask and then disappear for another hour ---- thus the reason for one star deduction. I would definitely return for a day or to get away, I would recommend the same to any friends or family with a similar plan in mind. FYI- The beach club is only for members or those staying at the hotel. A free shuttle brings guests to the club or in the alternative, complementary valet parking is also available.

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. It was a beautiful stay. The softest Beach sand I ever walked on. White powder! For that you have to come visit. For all future Siesta Key visits , Siesta Sands on the Beach will be my home base.

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.

If you have a tall vehicle there is parking out front but only cars, small trucks/SUV's will fit in the parking under the building.

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. This alone is worth staying at Sea Shell. Make a right to go across the bridge, when coming back stay in the left hand lane and avoid the traffic.

After ten consecutive years of mountain trips, we decided this year to head back to the beach and the gulf side of Florida that we used to be familiar. After quite a bit of research and reading numerous reviews, I reached out to Tim and Yvonne (managers of The Cottages at Siesta Key). It was one of the best decisions I ever made, as we hit it off immediately and had a rental agreement completed the very same day. We arrived at our destination at night well after the office closed to find that Tim and Yvonne has left our keys on the door along with a nice note and all pertinent instructions. The room was cute and super clean, which was the number one requirement for us. The pool was well maintained, and the beach access was only a very short walk of a couple hundred yards away. They even provided lounge chairs, an umbrella, and even a long handled shelling scoop for our use. We enjoy eating out each evening during our vacations, and there were a number of excellent choices within walking distance or a short drive from The Cottages. We enjoy bird photography, and an awesome state park was only a 30 minute or so drive away. The famed St. Armands Circle and Longboat Key were a comparable drive. In conclusion, we will certainly return to the Cottages at Siesta Key and now consider Tim and Yvonne to be personal friends!

First, let me say the hotel was lovely. Our room looked fantastic…read more Everything was great until we needed to go to sleep. This hotel does not have curtains, only louvered blinds on the windows and frosted glass on the door so you're getting: ANY outside light, light from your and your neighbors' porch light, and potentially light from cars as they pull in and out of the parking lot. Oh, and let's not forget the bright blue LED read out on the refrigerator, and the AC unit directly over your bed. *So much light pollution in one room.* The other complaint would be the -10AM- check out time. The way too-early check out, after a lousy nights sleep, would really give me pause to stay here again. My friend and I were going to a kayaking trip in the morning and we had to repack everything we had unpacked just a few hours before. We were told if we wanted/needed to have a late check out, we would be charged a *full day*. WTH? To come back, I would have to bring my own window coverings, and painters tape (to cover any LED lights) to consider rebooking this hotel. Although, it's a good location and was a good price during Labor Day Sunday/Monday.

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!
