    Can’t say enough about our stay Thanksgiving week. Unit was well stocked in the kitchen plus a great welcome basket of snacks. A whole closet full of beach stuff in like new condition. Furnished nicely with beds you can actually sleep on. Carpet looks like new, new sliding glass doors that opened to the porch with amazing views. And the plus was the unit was immaculately clean with plenty of fresh linens. I can honestly say it was the best experience we have ever had with Vrbo!!! Thank you Vickie, Abe and Jason. :)

    This condo was amazing. The hosts were easy to communicate with and answered any questions in a timely manner. They went above and beyond on the amenities they provided: fresh fruit, snacks, bottled water, toiletries and a fully stocked closet full of beach toys and beach umbrella. The balcony is huge and has the most amazing views. My only suggestion for the condo is the king bed is a bit hard and a foam topper may be a nice fix for that. The location of this condo is perfect. With its own private beach it is not crowded, yet you have miles of beach to walk. All though they recommend having a car, we did not have one, the Siesta Breeze free public transportation stop is at the front of the condo. We also used trolleys that work for tips to get around the island. I would definitely stay here again.

    We had an amazing stay at this beachfront condo. The location couldn't be better - just steps from the sand, with breathtaking views from the balcony. The condo is clean, and stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the thoughtful welcome touches - a fresh fruit basket, a selection of snacks, water and coffee waiting for us when we arrived.The host was friendly, responsive, and made check- in a breeze!Highly recommend for a relaxing time-we can't wait to come back!

    View is unbeatable! I could stare at the beach view all day! Bedrooms were spacious and felt like you had separation if needed. Great place we will be back. Oh and the welcoming when we arrived was very nice!

    My husband and I had a truly unforgettable experience at this outstanding property. Thirty years after our honeymoon in Siesta Key, we returned to relive cherished memories and were thrilled to discover that its allure remained unchanged. Despite considerable growth over three decades, the beach retained its distinction as the most beautiful we have ever visited. Upon arrival, we were treated to a warm welcome, complete with fresh flowers, a fruit basket, and snacks, which added a gracious touch to our stay. From the balcony, the views were nothing short of spectacular, making us feel as though we were dining directly on the beach. We indulged in every meal on the balcony, reveling in the breathtaking sunsets each evening. The condo itself was a paragon of excellence, boasting immaculately maintained bathrooms and tasteful decorations. The kitchen was comprehensively equipped, allowing us to prepare any meal with ease. We are eagerly anticipating our return to this captivating destination, which we plan to make a yearly tradition.

    Walked into the door and we were awed by the view of the gulf, sand and surf. We were also surprised by beautiful flowers, the array of snacks and beautiful fruit basket. The condo was generously stocked with everything we needed from utensils, appliances to bath and beach towels. The balcony was a perfect place to enjoy a drink after a relaxing day at the beach while we watched spectacular sunsets. Great location, best Siesta Key stay we’ve ever had.

    The views from this unit are awesome! This unit was the cleanest place I have ever rented. Everything was spotless! The snacks and fruit basket were very much appreciated after arriving after a long day of travel. The owner responded to my questions very quickly. We will definitely rent this unit again - it was just a great trip and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!

    Wonderful place for a family vacation! Beautiful views of the gulf, great pool and an amazingly quiet location just minutes away from the village by car or the free trolley. The kitchen is quite small, but it didn't take away ONE BIT from our vacation. Finally - the owner of the unit was AWESOME. Great communication, responsiveness, and the most welcome we have ever felt arriving at a vacation rental including some welcome snacks, information, and even fresh flowers! We did purchase and leave a mattress topper for the primary bedroom - we like softer mattresses. The only down-side of this rental was that the pool closes at sunset and our family has always enjoyed relaxing at the pool in the evenings to end the day. All-in-all, I would recommend this unit highly.

    Very clean and the location is absolutely perfect- owners were amazing! Left us fresh fruit and an abundance of snacks and goodies, coffee, water, paper plates, etc..plus extra toiletries in case something was needed! Again the view was indescribable- just postcard gorgeous! We have stayed at many places on the key and this location blows them all off the beach!! Bathrooms are dated as is kitchen but in fine working order and when or if your actually in the condo you won’t want to leave the lanai so not a concern!!

    I came on a girls trip from May 11-25, and we loved everything about this condo. I would definitely stay here again! THE PROS: -Location: easy to find, and perfectly situated on the Gulf with gorgeous views near Crescent Beach that wasn't very crowded. We also loved that Crystal Sands was relatively quiet. -Amenities: in addition to the condo facilities, the hosts stock it with everything you'd need. They provided fresh flowers and plentiful welcome snacks (fruit, sweets, salty items, coffee, water, and seltzers); a kitchen stocked with all the basic spices plus dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher detergent, hand sanitizer, ziplock bags and paper towels; beach towels, toys, and even coolers; laundry detergent and fabric softener; and full-size toiletries in each bathroom- including plenty of tissues and toilet paper. -The owners: they were incredibly helpful and responsive during all parts of the booking, pre-trip, stay, and even post-trip. -Cleanliness: this unit was immaculate. And they've refreshed the bedrooms with newer comforters, and newer furniture on the patio, so the photos on the listing don't do it full justice. THE CONS: Let me say that none of these issues were dealbreakers for us. Just wanted to share so you can be prepared if you stay here. -The AC: not being able to turn the thermostat below 72 made it stuffy at times. -Low shower heads: I'm 5'9, and had to bend over to wash my hair. The shower head was only as high as my chin.
