Siesta Bayside Villa: Water Views, Pickleball, Pools, & Short Walk to Private Beach Access

We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It’s in a perfect location—just a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants and shops. The home is very family-friendly, with great amenities including access to beautiful pools and tons of beach gear—chairs, umbrellas, toys, and more. Everything was so convenient and well thought out. The owners were incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions, which made our stay even better. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We have stayed at this property twice now and it never disappoints. Perfect location, well maintained, Gorgeously redone bathrooms. Well stocked for a fantastic beach day. Highly recommend for a cozy Siesta stay!

There were 4 of us all over 60 and this unit was perfect. Ground floor, no stairs drive right up to your door - no parking lots, no elevators, no stairs, you just walk right in! I was very pretty, clean, spacious, had a washer and dryer, and a lanai looking out at a beautiful pond. The pools were open late, and the grounds were well kept and walking paths along the intercoastal with a big bench to enjoy watching the boats. The aesthetics of the buildings were very nice and everyone was friendly. We would definitely stay there again!

Condo was wonderful! Nice updates throughout. It had everything one could need, then some. Plenty of beach chairs but the wagon for hauling things needs an upgrade for sure. We bring our wagon with balloon tires as it makes things so much easier going beachside. Short walk across the street to the beach but always worth the hike & yes, one might call it a hike. No pump for the bike tires so we could not ride the bikes but not a problem as we are beach people. Have been coming to Bayside annually for years as we are shopping ourselves to become SK owners. Only thing we would change is to make it light & as bright as possible.Highly suggest renting, enjoy!!!

The neighborhood is great! Both pools easy to access. Trolley stop is close, & beach access convenient, although a bit of a walk to the sand. Unfortunately, the unit needs some work. Upon arrival for our 2-week stay, we noticed the lanai was filthy, the cushions old & faded, mold on walls & sliders, broken screens, stained placemats on table, & a rug in tatters. iTrip did send someone to re-clean that area, but it still felt dirty. Pics are outdated. Beds & living space were clean, plenty of closet space; the bathrooms are great. The kitchen has a few warped pans, & one back burner on stove doesn't work. Most of the in- & under-cabinet lights are burned out. Most of the window shutters are broken. The placemats on kitchen table are also torn. The walls are pretty beat up, especially 2nd bedroom & kitchen. The dryer probably needs the vent cleaned, as it took awhile to dry anything. Bring your own dishtowels, as there was only 1. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but didn't use the porch or kitchen as much as we would've liked. I'd recommend another unit in Gulf & Bay before this one.

My family and I had the best time staying at the Bayside condo. Itrip made it feel like we were staying at a resort hotel but also felt like home because we had all the equipment/ amenities we needed for a beach house. The home came with games for our family, beach cruiser bikes, wagons, pool toys, etc. The home was fully up to date with stainless steel appliances and nice furniture. We are definitely coming back to stay here on our next SK trip!

Very beautiful house and nice pools

The private beach access trail was the best!

We had a lovely stay , the property was well equipped and in a great location,easy access to beach and village.The swimming pool was good and enjoyed by all.

Enjoyed everything about this place. Location was perfect and everything we might if needed close by. Made us remember why we love coming to Siesta Key!
