I'm planning to come here for my anniversary with my boyfriend soon. It's the perfect spot.

2 stars. Siesta Key is beautiful, but Palm Bay Club is not enforcing its own rules, and that…read morecreates real safety problems. Their policy says disturbances shouldn't interfere with other guests' comfort. Yet a large group of teens was allowed to drink and scream from sunset late into the night with little intervention. Security were more focused on parking passes than addressing open underage drinking on the property. Other guests, including the elderly, were clearly frustrated. My brother stepped on a broken whiskey bottle near the beach entrance. Glass left behind after the lack of intervention is a direct failure of security. This seems to be a recurring July issue based on what other guests told us. Until management actually enforces the rules they publish, I can't recommend staying here.

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.

The condo was very clean and had everything you need, my only complaint was there was no full/body length mirrors, so getting outfits together was kind of a daily annoyance not being able to check in a full mirror before going out. The pool area is really nice. We were able to pay a small fee to check in earlier which was a hugggeeeeee pro as we got there pretty early. But anyway great place, in a decent location, spacious living room/kitchen area, has everything you'd need besides a body length mirrors (if that's something important to you), and very close to the beach and the beach is soooo beautiful especially at sunset.

As we pack up to leave on this beautiful Saturday morning, we reflect on what a relaxing,…read moredelightful time we have spent here! As others have noted in their reviews, Ken and Jeff are constantly working to keep up this lovely family resort. It is clean and landscaped beautifully, and the rooms are just right! With a sitting area in our two bedroom, we enjoyed the recliner and couch as we watched movies in the evening. In our full kitchen, we stocked the refrigerator from the local Publix and made our breakfast and lunch, which we packed for the beach. Many guests chose to grill out as we saw when we would load up to go to a local restaurant for dinner, but we preferred eating out! On our first night at Hurricane Hanks restaurant down the road, we met up with a resident who offered us more ideas for restaurants for dinner. There's nothing like walking right out onto the beach to spend a morning watching the waves, seeing dolphins frolic, observing osprey catching their breakfast, and swimming in the water among schools of fish. Many of the guests knew each other from yearly vacations, and we have already made our reservation for next year! Anna Maria Island is quiet and family friendly. White Sands Resort offers shuffleboard and corn hole right next to the pool, but the best show is the sunset. On our first night, we were surprised to see how many lined the beach to see God's beauty, of course clapping at the end! Thank you to Ken, Jeff, Joy, and Esther for a wonderful stay. We wish you the best in the coming year, and we look forward to seeing you again!

Everything was sold out, and after calling around with no luck, I finally found BridgeWalk on Yelp. Noah answered and was AMAZING from the start!!He helped us secure a last-minute weekend BridgeWalk and we drove over right away. As a mom, this meant everything to me--our youngest is on the spectrum, and he was completely calm and comfortable in the room. That rarely happens when we travel, so having a space that felt safe for him was huge. The room was spotless, the bathroom was super clean (we loved the shower and tub combo) and the enclosed balcony was such a nice touch. Every staff member from parking to front desk to housekeeping was kind, welcoming, and professional. The location is perfect! There areshops and restaurants downstairs, Daiquiri Deck across the street, mini golf for the kids, and the beach just steps away. They also provide beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels, which made everything so easy for our family. We loved it so much, we extended another night! As a mom who values comfort, cleanliness, and genuine service this place is a 10/10. We will absolutely be back.

Yes, you can find fancier places with more amenities, but Limetree delivers what is important for a safe family friendly gulf beach experience. Read on to learn why...... Staff: office, maintenance and housekeeping staff were exceptional. They were always welcoming and helpful while their workspaces were totally professional - organized, neat and tidy. Facility: Rental condos were exactly as described, stocked as promised and clean. FYI - Visitors in one unit (No 120) reportedly experienced a consistent humming from electrical systems adjacent. Also, the Internet was disrupted by the storm temporarily, but electricity and air conditioning were reliably constant. Washer/dryer units are available for no charge! During our stay, Hurricane Debby passed by, leaving about 17 inches of rain in one day with very gusty winds. Through the weather was dramatic, we never felt in danger. The building felt solid. Whew! We used the community gas grills, the shared PC, bought postcards, and generally enjoyed the same experience we've had over the years. Plenty of parking is available, and the activity center was refreshed where we played ping pong and reviewd books in the lending library. Site: The beach was substantially augmented with crushed shell/sand. It held up to the storm surge like nothing ever happened. Spectacular sunsets were a treat. We saw dolphins, pelicans, gulls, lots of wading birds including a rosette spoonbill! Entertainment: We loved the Tuesday evening one woman band. Beautiful versatile voice and musician - she had the kids, and some adults, up dancing at sunset. A magical treat! Value: For a family friendly, safe, clean on-the-beach experience- it was amazing! In summary - for the experience controlled/managed by the Limetree, the overall rating is a solid 5 (best). It's what we've come to expect after many years of visits. We hope they continue for our future generations. However - there were some non-controllable factors that downgraded our visitor experience. 1) Temporarily, construction noise from a new development. Swiveling tower cranes, clanging metal, banging, truck traffic immediately adjacent to the Limetree on the north side occurs during the day. We experienced noise from about 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This was not a surprise because Limetree staff informed us of the work. Yet we were grateful to be on the south side of the facility - a little further away. 2) Other people: We were surprised to hear late night (after closing) loud pool parties on several evenings. They stopped before midnight but still it was not expected. We were also disappointed to see people pitch camp (umbrellas, chairs, etc.) between our rented cabanas and the beach - which obstructed our water view. Apparently, there is a public beach strip between Limetree property and the waterline available to anyone. Thus, Limetree could not force them to move, yet, we are used to a Limetree community of kindness - not competition. Thus, the atmosphere at times seemed less friendly this trip. Like the uncontrollable weather, I don't allow these external issues affect the Limetree rating. We'll be back.
