Lakefront Siesta Key Vacation Rental Home within Small Private Resort W/ Pool

Everything was great except for the fact that the sliding glass doors to the outside deck didnt have any blinds. We ended up using the roller beds and it wasnt a pleasant sleeping experience knowing that the other guests can look right into our living room. Everything else was good and it was an enjoyable stay, i would just either put blinds up or a one-way glass coating so no one is able to look into the property.

My stay Siesta Heron was anything but cozy and left much to be desired. From the onset, the property did not live up to the expectations set by the glowing reviews and appealing photographs posted online. My concerns are threefold and notably impacted the quality of my stay: an unwelcome pest sighting, inadequate outdoor lighting, and unresponsive hosts. First, the discovery of a cockroach lounging on the sofa upon our arrival was disheartening. It immediately cast a pall over our stay, making us question the cleanliness and overall maintenance of the property. Such an encounter is unacceptable and greatly detracted from the comfort and appeal of the living space, making it difficult to relax and unwind. (Photos were sent to the host as proof). Second, the lack of lighting on the deck was a significant drawback. Evenings on the deck were something we looked forward to based on the description and images provided. However, the complete absence of outdoor lighting rendered the space unusable after sunset. This not only limited our enjoyment of the property but also raised safety concerns. Lastly, the lack of communication from the host was perhaps the most disappointing aspect of our experience. Despite reaching out to them during our stay to address these concerns, we received no response. This lack of engagement and customer service is inexcusable and left us feeling neglected and frustrated. In conclusion, this stay was far from the relaxing retreat we had anticipated, m

Spacious, great location. Kerrigan coffee pot needs a good cleaning and there was an issue with sugar ants.

While it was a good stay. Heating did not work the entire time, and it was very cold. There were minimal resources only two rolls of toilet paper for 10 people for 4 days. We had people right outside our glass door for most of the night because it was public access.

Host was fine

Property was wonderful, as advertised. It was clean and beds were comfortable.

Great property, easy location to shuttle and turtle beach! Kitchen had everything we needed. The roku tv and WiFi were good for the colder days. Would stay again!

Negatives: Missing 1 smoke detector and wine/cocktail glasses Damaged ironing board cover Greasy cooking utensils Oven baking trays were burned/stained/greasy in spots The table place mats were worn/grease stained The property is listed as 3 bedrooms but only one has a closet. Master bedroom had no hanging or storage space The plank flooring in the main area is worn out. The floor has deep gouges/scratches and is bubbling up and flexes up and down and has been nailed down in spots The sliding patio door to deck was “ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE ” to open/close/ lock due to worn track and rollers. ( Waited 10 days to get the door repaired.) Repairman said the door was in this condition for a long time Deck outside patio door is covered with rotten boards with numerous nails/screw heads poking up to rip bare feet or trip someone Suggestions for the future… The unit needs major refreshing Better cleaning (The cleaning crew left the property with cobwebs on the walls. Dead bugs entangled in the webs/or on the window sills The walls in the main living area or worn, scuffed and stained and sorely in need of a fresh coat of paint The plank floor needs to be replaced The deck needs to be resurfaced…Dangerous in its present condition The property needs to be inspected periodically to prevent future issues In summary we did not get the value that would be expected for the premium price paid. The property needs to be brought up to standards to match asking price.

Siesta Key is a lovely little Island to stay on for a family winter getaway. We found it very convenient to Sarasota Bradenton Airport and were able to use Lyft to get to our stay. We didn't need to rent a car, although we did have access to one since some of the family drove from Pennsylvania. There's a trolley that takes visitors up and down the island. Easy access to groceries and restaurants and the beach. We loved our lodging located right on Heron Lake/Lagoon. The pool is right there and made our little kids very happy. We used the kayaks and the bikes. There were beach chairs and towels so we didn't have to bring any of that. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked with equipment for our needs. We had access to a washer and dryer. All in all, it's suited our needs very very well.

This property was great. Loved that there weren’t any common walls. Outside areas were fantastic. Lots of stuff in the laundry area to use. Beach chairs, fishing equipment coolers. Made beaching very easy. Don’t have one negative thing to say. Siesta Key is a wonderful location!!

The property had tons of bugs in it and after reaching out and receiving no help or advice on how to get rid of the bugs. We left the property and had bugs in our luggage and on our clothes. Do not recommend staying here until they fix the bugs issue.

Love it

Property was super clean with everything you can possibly need in the kitchen and amenities. We were a party of 4 friends and had plenty of beds and some extra. Everything was clean and well maintained. Quiet and away from the traffic and noise of Siesta Key but close enough to restaurants, bars, and the beach.
