We really enjoyed our 2 week stay at the Gulf and Bay Bayside. The complex is very nice and very well maintained. The 2 pool areas were great with plenty of chairs available. The complex is just over a half mile walk to one of our favorite beaches. Lots of beach equipment was available to enjoy the sand and surf. The hosts were great and were very responsive when contacted. The interior of the unit was pretty much as shown in the photos. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of towels, etc. The unit could benefit from some updates. Most of the interior seemed to be original.

Excellent. Fun watching boats on inter coastal. Nice trails to walk and benches to sit.

Gulf & Bay Club Condominiums (we stayed on the Gulf side) is a very cute facility which is walking distance to the beach and has two pools/tennis courts in the complex. The owners of the condo were very easy to book with/get in contact with during our stay if needed. We fit six people in this condo comfortably (three of them slept on the couch/lazy boy recliner chairs in the living room). Although the place is in needed of major updating, we were able to look past that as the majority of our time was spent at the beach. However, were unable to look past the maintenance/cleaning issues. All items a renter needs to fulfill their stay should be in mint condition. The bathroom pocket door/sliding glass door should open and close without sticking, more lighting should be added and a thorough clean (vacuuming under couches/beds, dusting baseboards and fans, etc.) should be conducted after each rentor. In addition, cleaning supplies should be kept on hand in case a renter, like us, needs/wants to clean more adequately. Our family would stay in this complex again as it was a good deal and not far from the beach. If updates were made, maintenance errors fixed and more beach equipment was present, I'm sure the owners should charge more. This condo did not stop us from having a wonderful time in beautiful Siesta Key!

We loved that it was so well equipped, nicely decorated, had comfortable beds and so close to the pool. They had had beach toys, chairs, umbrella, lawn chairs and fishing gear and a cart for the beach which was wonderful. The only complaint was that the bike had a flat tire. We loved being able to use the facilities at Gulf Bay Club especially the large pool so close to the beach. Debbie was so responsive to all my questions and we appreciated all the information provided about the area. We would love to return in the near future.
