Steps from paradise

The location of this unit was perfect for us. It’s in a corner away from the bulk of the noise of the pool but still only a few steps from the beach. Super convenient to be able to just walk back and forth from the beach at any time if we just wanted to get a snack or lunch and then head back out. The lanai area was really nice and we had coffee there every morning. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing

My kids and I had a great time. The lanai overlooking the pool and beach was great. Perfect for families with kids so you don’t have to cart everything to the beach. You can go back and forth all day long. Easy access to Sarasota airport, close to Anna Maria and st Armonde circle!

Great location, pool and beach access

While not too fancy, we found this very comfortable and it is in a great location near Harry’s market and restaurant, the center shops and restaurants and within walking proximity to a bike rental. We had a hitch with the lock box and the TV, but these were quickly resolved and we recommend it. .

It was the perfect location. Beach chairs, umbrellas available. Super nice people were there at the same time. Many public beaches with a short drive too! Great restaurants both on the island and just across the bridge.

Poor layout. Pricey. But very close to beach.

84 steps from unit front door to beach. Front door opens into bedroom; unavoidable. Shower head needed replaced. Poor supply of silverware and dishes; spend a little and buy some cheap so you don't need to run the dishwasher daily. Pricey compared to better units on the island.
