Amazing
"The condo was fabulous. The location was great, the gated community was real nice. Private pool, tennis courts and a private beach with the free chair and umbrellas for the day. Sunsets we did see were memorable. We had so much fun. Parasailing is around the corner along with kayak rentals. Sandy was great to work with and really cares that you enjoy your trip. This is the type of owners most hope to work with. Sandy you are a rock star just as much as the condo and the beach are as well. Thank you once again from the Davis'."

Amazing Vacation
"Sandy's Siesta Key Condo is the most perfect place to stay! We had two adults and one child and we had plenty of room to unpack and relax. This condo has everything you need for a week plus more. The beach cart and beach toys, cooler and lots of beach towels make it so easy to spend the day relaxing. Everything is very new and up to date. Great wi-fi service, lots of TV channels to watch (we only did a little at night and watched the Macy's Parade). The outside grilling stations are amazing. Very clean and well lit, we BBQ'd almost every night we were there. Short walk to the beach, pool or to many local places to shop and eat. Ian at the beach is so helpful with the chairs and umbrellas and great for referrals of local rental places. We rented bikes and jet skis from two places he recommended and they were both great! Covered parking right outside the door is great for loading and unloading. We can't wait to come back soon!"

Lovely Property, Terrific Location
"My family and I enjoyed our stay in this nicely remodeled condo. The furnishings were lovely and everything was neat and clean! My son enjoyed fishing in the canal behind the condo and the beach was just a short walk away. We did not make use of the two pools due to the unusually cold weather but they were a nice feature. We would certainly stay here again when visiting Siesta Key."

Great Place to stay
"My family of 4 stayed here June 11-17th. The condo was great. Living area was nice, clean and roomy. The master bedroom was a good size, with a big closet plus linen storage area. 2nd bedrrom had two twin bed, tv, large closet which was perfect for my kids. Galley style kitchen meet our cooking needs for the week. We were about a 10 minute walk from the beach. Follow the path out your back door, cross over midnight pass, walk another trail and there is beach access. There were plenty of chairs but apparently quite a few of the umbrella's have been taken. You definetly need some kind of shade while you are on the beach. The beach was beautiful and the water was warm, clean and clear. I would definetly recommend this place."

Pre-Christmas in our Ground Floor Unit with a Washer and Dryer!
"For anyone who has rented on Siesta Key, although there are many lovely places to stay very few have a washer and dryer in the unit. Boy does that help if you are trying to live out of carry on luggage!
They also had a cupboard full of beach towels! I didn't have to purchase one and leave it this year! There were beach toys for kids and an umbrella. There is no need for chairs as they are provided around the pool and at the beach. Not all complexes provide chairs on the beach.
The owners are very open to suggestions and take pride in providing everything necessary.
As described, the unit is nicely appointed, very clean, tastefully decorated, has a large living area and a book full of helpful hints to make your stay easier. Beautiful views from the living area to the Canal. Easy instructions to hook up your computer. The bedrooms are small but the beds are super comfy. It is 1 and 1/2 baths.
I'd recommend this unit for a single person, couple or family. But I would hesitate to recommend it to 4 adults unless you are very well acquainted because there is only one full bath.
***Note to those going before Christmas****:
We arrived in the evening and we were blown away by all the lovely Christmas lights on every complex on Midnight Pass Road. In Sarasota Bay there was a Parade of Lights but with boats and beautiful yachts instead of street floats. People went to the waterfront with lawn chairs, coolers and santa hats and lined the shore. It was an amazing sight and it was featured on Canada AM when we got home!

Our stay was excellent
"Our stay was excellent. Condo is very nice. We liked the first floor and end of the building. Laundry in the condo was super to have. Having WiFi was great also. I am short, so a little step stool to reach higher cabinets would be good to have. Having rights to chairs and umbrella on the beach was great. No need to take your own stuff. We lucked out and had just wonderful weather the entire month."

PERFECT!
"My fiance and I just got back from 7 heavenly days in Siesta Key! The condo was a perfect home away from home! Most of our time was spent enjoying the gorgeous beach/ocean as the condo is located right across the street (a short walk). Thank you Sandy for making it so easy for us to plan our vaca!"

Tom and Holly Vacation
"We had such a wonderful vacation, this unit was beyond our expectations. It was beautiful and spacious and the biggest luxury for me was having the washer and dryer in the unit, so convenient. Would love to return some day!!!!"

Wonderful Place, Everything As Described And More
"When you walk in, you will be amazed. This place is tastefully done, spotlessly clean and has some wonderful furnishings. They provide a hair dryer, great selection of pillows, nice linens, magazines, books, loads of beach towels, fishing poles (although one of the reels was broken because people are not cleaning the salt water out of them.) They even thought of a magnifying make-up mirror! Lamps are in just the right places, DVD player, even a printer (although there is a cable missing we think), a beach trolley and beach toys for the kids. If you plan to eat there you will need paper towels, a couple of garbage bags, coffee, filters, some foil, dish detergent, dishwasher detergent and your food. I left foil, paper towels, detergents, etc., but I am told they will be removed. The washer and dryer are the best I've ever used and the rules say you must wash everything up before you leave (except for the sheets and towels you had that morning), so you would need laundry detergent. All the bath towels are white, so I bought bleach too. The king bed was really comfortable (we didn't use the twins.) Your hosts have thought of everything. The only thing we found a bit disappointing was a tiny lanai - not big enough for a table - but....they didn't say they had one either! Beach chairs and umbrellas provided at the beach. Oh - and if you need to print boarding passes in the office, they charge 50 cents for a sheet of paper!! We thought that was terribly overpriced. Take a few sheets. Next time, we will take a ream. We had a wonderful time in a place that just felt like home. Very nice and very comfy. Sandy (owner) is extremely friendly and very helpful. You will LOVE your experience here and we will be back in March!!!"

Our honeymoon!!!
"First, what a great location! Close to everything. Condo was amazingly beautiful, the beach theme rocked! Comfortable beds, nice furniture and TV's. All brand new inside! And best part.....a top of the line washer and dryer in the unit, instead of walking up to the laundry mat. This place was well decorated and thought out! Next, take a walk across a small two lane road and there is a private beach for the condo owners and their guests only. Ever walked in powdered sugar? That's what the sand feels like...and not hot on the feet! There is a beach guy named Ian who greets you with a smile and brings out chairs and umbrellas for you!! He also has kayak's and other beach toys! Restaurants have great food and the people in this town are very nice. This made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. The sunsets on the beach are fabulous.....like a picture. We will definitely be back next year! If I could give this 10 stars.....I would!"

Very clean with modern updates
"Excellent vacation! Beautiful beach with chairs and umbrellas for all. Nicely updated condo with beautiful grounds. Loved having the grill right off the back door. Owner was so easy to work with and answered all our questions."
- 09/08/2018 -
Amazing vacation!
"Stop looking and stay here!
Great location, beautiful furnishings, attention to details beyond belief. Has everything you could want in the kitchen. Beach towels, toys, everything you need for the beach.
Easy walk to the beach, having beach chairs and umbrellas there waiting for us was great.
Games were wonderful for rainy times and sitting in chairs outback was so relaxing!
Boatyard restaurant excellent.
Paddle boarding fun!
I’ll be back for sure!
Sandy was so quick to respond and a pleasure to work with! Thanks for a great vacation week at your beautiful home!"

Fantastic vacation spot!
"Sandy’s place was perfect! So well equipped and very clean. Sandy was very responsive to questions we had when we arrived. Excellent host!"

Fabulous Stay at Sandy's Siesta Condo!
"We just came back from a fabulous week at Sandy's condo! We stayed at Midnight Cove on the ocean side before, but we honestly prefer the Bayside! The walk is super easy along the sidewalk path, and Sandy provides a beach cart (lifesaver, I MUST get one) so we could haul our cooler, sunscreen, towels, and the million beach toys my daughters required (also provided WITH the condo, thank you!). We had our 4 year old daughter with us who announced "this is my most favorist condo ever" when we walked in. We were also able to fish off the docks at the bayside which was so fun! We did not catch a fish but saw plenty jumping out of the water! The pool on the Bayside is also less crowded, which helped our 4 daughter who has just learned to swim. The condo was stocked with everything we needed to cook, had extra laundry and cooking supplies, and the outside gas grills just steps away were awesome! We grilled a red snapper one night and it was amazing. You have a covered parking spot for the condo, but there is also another one right next to the front door you can back in to load and unload your luggage, so easy! Another plus? Sandy was so nice and easy to work with. The condo had all the information we needed to use the Siesta free ride and had info on all the stuff we could do on the island. The condo is decorated so cute, I just loved it! Everything is updated. The wifi and tvs were also top notch. We spent most of our time on the beach and the pool, but we did enjoy relaxing at night in the condo! The beach was amazing, and Ian (we love him) and the other beach attendants set up chairs and umbrellas for you. So nice!!
The washer and dryer were also amazing to have. Such a help when you have a small child! Overall, we said this will be THE condo we come back to when we visit Siesta Key. Thank you Sandy for letting us stay in your slice of heaven on earth! The Hall's will return soon!"

A Great Escape
"How's this for a review? We booked this perfect home for next year already! That will make it 3 years in a row for a spring break. This beautiful, immaculately kept condo is everything a family of four needs for a stay at the beach. Not a fan of sand? The gated community's pool & clubhouse is the answer! The owner is quick to respond when a question arises or a need presents itself. Modern appliances, including washer & dryer, allow for it all feeling like home away from home. The location is quiet as it isn't right on the beach. It's a short 2 minute walk. The owner had lots of towels, there is a cooler to transport tropical drinks to the beach as well as a cart to ease that transportation. The Sniki Tiki Bar & Capt Curts Grill are a 3 minute walk away. The village of Siesta is a short drive or free shuttle ride down the "strip". Full disclosure, I'm not a beach guy, and I LOVE it here!!"
- 01/14/2017 -
Perfect!!! Can't wait to go back.
"We loved our stay at Sandy's. The condo has everything you need and more - loads of beach towels, beach toys, umbrella etc, great kitchen, and loved the open plan to the large living area. The location is great too - not beach front but only a minute or two's walk, and very picturesque and private with marina views out the back. Sandy is a pleasure to rent from - everything clear and easy, very helpful and quick to respond to queries etc. Very pleased with our choice and can't wait to go back!!"

Great Trip!
"We had a great time at this condo for our summer trip. It was hot in July but the beautiful white sand was never hot, and Ian giving us umbrellas and chairs was amazing to be able to sit in the shade as the kids played. This condo was great and had everything we could need. They thought of everything. The beach cart with rafts, noodles, coolers etc was awesome for the walk to the beach. Beach towels, games, fishing poles and even tennis racquets. The pool and bay were beautiful. Lots of nice restaurants to drive to in Siesta Village. Parking was a little tough but we just went early. Siesta key is great location as well for visiting lots of other beaches within driving distance. Loved Myakka state park where we hiked and saw gators. Mixon fruit farm was so cute - animals you can touch and great juice! I would absolutely recommend this place!"

Family Holiday
"my family vacation started on oct 23rd 2015 and sadly finished 4th november, we have been staying in siesta key now for over 25 years and this was the first time at sandys siesta and def will not be the last, sandy right from the start made this very easy indeed and was a1 in her communication bearing in mind we are in the uk, it was the first time my children had been to florida and we spent the first ten days in orlando before moving on to sandys place.
we will be going back in 2017 and will not be doing the parks as my children much preferred siesta key and sandys condo, the condo is in fantastic condition throughout and kept very well indeed, if anyone wants some sort of advice about going to this condo it most def has our approval as we have stayed in many in siesta key and none are even in the same hemispere as sandys condo its just a shame it had to end.
just a little end note from my children loved it loved it loved it lollllllllllllll"
- 07/11/2015 -
Awesome vacation!
"This condo is beautifully decorated, and has all the features of being at home. The beach is a short walk across a road and through a couple gates, and once you're there, Ian the beach attendant will get you set up with beach chairs and an umbrella. The sand is amazingly soft like baby powder and the water is crystal clear and shallow. There's no undertow or big waves, so we didn't really have to fret constantly about our children's safety.
The Midnight Cove complex is very well maintained and has a great new fitness room and 2 great pools. We enjoyed fishing off of the dock in front of the condo. We met many families who have been renting condo's there yearly for upwards of 20 years.
One of the most important factors that made our trip so great was the incredible support and accessibility that the owner Sandy, afforded to us. She responded quickly to all of my texts, (and I texted often) and was always offering advice on places to go and sites to see. We are looking forward to our next visit and would highly recommend this condo!!"
- 04/25/2015 -
Great vacation
"The condo is really nice. It has lots of room, is well decorated and maintained, and the grounds are great. In addition the staff on property and beach attendant are great. It is great to arrive at beach and have Ian set up your chairs and umbrella.
It was a little farther to beach than I thought, but only about a two minute walk. Also, be aware this is a very quiet property. A loud group would be out of place.
Siesta Key Beach is awesome!"
- 04/11/2015 -

"The apartment was clean, well decorated and it has great appliances! We felt at home! The beach is gorgeous, once you arrive there is a nice gentlemen who brings you chairs and umbrellas! Everything we needed was supplied by the owner, there is even a beach cart which was a life saver, since we have three kids and carry a lot to the beach! I highly recommend this place!"
- 03/14/2015 -
Excellent Condo
"Very nice condo !!! Updated and very clean. Owner was very attentive and great to work with. Liked it so much going back next year.
Beach was incredible and chairs and umbrellas are provided and set up for you. Make sure you go to Clayton's for breakfast and dinner."

Homey paradise
"Beautifully and tastefully appointed unit.
Can't beat the Midnight Cove Complex, easy beach access and magnificent Crescent Beach.
Sandy makes herself very accessible and is extremely helpful.
Would return in a heartbeat!"

Perfect Holiday Break
"Your condo was perfect for us. Very clean and new and comfortable. Easy access to the beach which was spectacular! I loved having laundry facilities right in the condo and will pack much lighter next trip. We spent New Years Eve on the beach and can't think of a better way to start the year!
Owner is very friendly and nice to work with. We will definitely be back ... soon I hope!"
- 10/18/2014 -
An amazing vacation!
"Everything about this was great...the owner was very proactive, polite and accommodating throughout the planning process and the condo was exactly as described! It was clean, fresh, and just a few minutes to the beach. The staff at the condo complex were friendly as were those on the beach that set up the umbrellas and chairs. Siesta Key has great restaurants, shopping and scenery, I would absolutely recommend Sandy's Siesta for your next vacation!"

Awesome vacation getaway!
"This condo is fabulous! It's very clean and nicely decorated, with lots of extras. The kitchen is great with all Kitchenaid appliances, and new front loader washer and dryer for use as well. There is even a really nice blow dryer that has attachments in the bathroom for the ladies. It is just a short walk to the gorgeous beach where a nice young man helps you with your chairs & umbrella set up when you want to relax a while and let life go by. There are lots of places close-by to eat, drink, and a Publix market for anything else you need a short drive away. We especially enjoyed Siesta Key village down aabout 2 miles, lots of good eateries and live music and outdoor seating in many places. We were so spoiled, it's quiet and peaceful there at the complex, too. The office folks were super-nice too. Sandy was great! She provided all that we needed to celebrate our 2 year wedding annivesary in style! We feel like Sandy is our friend, and she was so very helpful whenever we had questions or needed something. We had such a wonderful time, and would definitely come back to Siesta Key and stay here. Very positive experience, and I am so glad we found this place. Thank you again, Sandy ---- this vacation rocked!! We want a "do-over". :)"

Perfect home away from home
"The place was awesome! It was super clean, comfy, modern, and a 5 min walk to the beach as well as a grocery store, shops, and a bike/boat rental. This was our first stay in a vacation home rather than a hotel, and we've heard about other vacation condos not coming with necessities such as trash bags and such, but this isn't one of those places! I am pretty sure Sandy provided everything except for our food! The kitchen is a little small but very equipped and functional, oh and gorgeous! All stainless Kitchenaid appliances and every utensil known to man. I even had to check the dishwasher twice to make sure it was running because it was so quiet. Propane grills (Weber and Charbroil) are right outside the door so you can cook and watch for sea creatures in the inlet. The sliding glass doors that opened to the screened in lanai were really nice. We didnt open them too often due go the heat, but the view was cool and they let in so much light. It rained daily but only enough to cool it off, so we did appreciate having the cable tv and the comfy couches. We even played tennis for the first time together, which was really fun!
The private access to the beach was awesome. You do have to cross the road but there is even a crosswalk that immediately stops traffic, which no one seems to mind. The attendant greeted us and gave us chairs and set up our umbrellas. We rode bikes up and down the beach and I am pretty sure the area for Midnight Cove was the cleanest and most desirable. We seen dolphins far out, but the last two days we were there, there were 8-10 manta rays swimming all around us (literally less than a foot away). At first everyone was a little uneasy thinking they were stingrays and possibly dangerous, but they weren't, so it was really cool. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was super nice. We are from Ohio (and so are a out 50% of the people that vacation in Siesta Key) and all we could talk about was how unbelievably nice everyone was. People seem genuinely happy and not just the ones on vacation. We are really considering moving down there since we left.
In addition to everything else, Sandy was awesome! She answered all my questions before and after booking very quickly. I believe she was genuinely happy to share her place with us and not just to get it rented. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Thanks again for opening your (vacation) home to us for our anniversary. It was perfect and we really did feel at home in paradise :)"

Our first family trip
"Our first family trip to Siesta Key. Family of 4 with kids 14 and 10. We had our best vacation ever. The beach is stunning. Our room was as we expected from pictures. All appliances updated. Plenty of space with well stocked kitchen. I slept better here then in my own bed. Very comfortable. Property was well maintained and clean. I would recommend to friends or family for place to stay.
We visited family in the area and two trips to Orlando. We do plan to return."
- 05/18/2013 -
Well Maintained and one of the nicest place we have stayed at!
"We were very impressed with the Complex and the Condo! CLEAN and WELL MAINTAINED! The main room is very roomy! We had zero issues. The thing that we liked the most was that the unit was managed by the Condo complex itself, which was comforting to us.
The beach was wonderful. It was very nice to be able to cross the street and go directly to it via the beach side of Midnight Cove. The sand is so soft and gorgeous. We will definitely be back to the area.
Not much commercialism in regards to many restaurants. There are some towards Siesta Beach itself, but not a lot. Bring your own trahs bags, which it is stated in the lease agreement.
Sandy, thank you for everything. The owner made herself available before our stay was everything was presented as it was. Many Many thanks!"

Great place to stay for our family with three little girls!
"The condo was extremely clean, very nicely decorated. Appliances were top notch! Loved the brand new front-load washer & dryer!!! Kids loved the Zebra chair! The beach toys, boogie boards, & beach cart all came in very handy.
Loved everything & would highly recommend this condo to a friend or family member!"

Easter in Siesta Key
"Terrific Easter week in Siesta Key, and at Midnight Cove! Enjoyed the beach daily, wonderful dinners & shopping in the Village of Siesta Key, and some fun nights at the Tiki Bar. Condo had beautiful updates, super amenities, and access to the lanai & Bay for some of after-beach fun & relaxation."
- 04/07/2012 -
What a great condo on a great property.
"Sandy, We loved everything about our stay. The condo is spacious, well appointed, decorated beautifully...all making our stay feel like we were at home. Love the ground level, and the covered parking 15 steps from the front door. We really enjoyed the bay side property of Midnight Cove. Also spacious, quiet, nicely landscaped, with abundant, beautiful views of its own...the canal and garden view from the condo, the little harbor dock, the bay...all very nice. Loved having a little yard for the kids to run around in (quietly of course). The walk to the beach was manageable. For those traveling with a bunch of beach stuff I recommend having some one park across the street in the morning (in a non-numbered spot) with all of your gear in the car. While there, reserve some beach chairs/umbrella. Walk back to the room and have your coffee....returning when your ready. Pack everybody up in the car when you are done with the beach...more efficient than waiting for an elevator at other places directly on the beach."

Heaven on Earth
"My husband and I rented this condo for the first time this past Christmas. It was exactly as the pictures portrayed it on the website. Beautiful! The beach was clean with soft, sugar sand.
The location was excellent. We could walk to the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. The Village of Siesta Key was fun, clean, and upscale. Would highly recommend for families or a romantic get away."

Perfect Time, Perfect Beach, Perfect Home Away from Home
"My wife and I stayed here for a lovely week while on our 'Babymoon'. We had never stayed on the Bayside and this was our first time staying in Midnight Cove. The beach was great and the attendant was very helpful. Sandy was extremely helpful in answering all our doubts and questions and was a great joy to work with and a great host. The remodeled condo is beautiful and we felt very relaxed.
My wife and I flew down from Cincinnati and didn't have a lot of room to back board games, dvds, or playing cards. I would suggest packing some if you are like us and enjoy a good game or two.
We will definitely be returning sometime soon with our newest addition."

Great condo and beach vacation....We will be back!
"Family of fourohio
Great clean condo! The beds were too comfortable and the condo was well equiped with everything we needed. The kids loved the heated pools and we loved the lighted tennis courts. The beach is unbelievable, especially with the chairs that are there for Midnight Cove only. Walked to Capt. Curt's for great seafood and drinks. There is a pizza place next to Capt. Curt's, I can't think of the name of it, but has great breakfast and pizza. Thanks Sandy! We will be back next August."
