The description "Elegant Studio Retreat" isn't quite right, elegant is not the right descriptor, but it's a cute, clean little place. The outside seemed worn/widows were dirty, but clean inside. Sleeps 4 with a murphy bed, but that'd be tight, better for 2. It was quiet when I was there, and I'm not sure how parking would work if all units were full. Great location across from the beach. I did hate the ad screen in the room (Welcomes you to the unit, but also randomly came on at 7 am on checkout day and woke me up). There's a comfy sofa, but it's a bit stained and maybe not entirely clean. Bed was comfortable. I wish there were staples in the kitchen (salt/pepper/spices, etc). The property manager office was kind and communicative.

The house was in a great location! Walking distance to the Village and beach. It was not very clean. Dirty floors and toilet. It did have everything we needed. Would have appreciated more wash rags. We had plenty of towels.

The property was great.- So convenient to the beach and village.
There was a definite communication delay in responding to our extended check out time. We felt that someone should be available on the weekend in the office. We paid for the extra time before check out. The cleaning crew opened our door and reminded us that checkout was at 10. I showed her your text of approval of noon, although we did not receive it until a couple hours before. I talked to my credit card company to see if you had accepted our payment the night before. That was a bit frustrating. Then she sat in the van right outside our door. We left early! It made our last couple hours uncomfortable so we did not stay.
I would suggest that someone be available to communicate. It was not a 911 circumstance but it would have helped to have a person to talk to. You are a resort... Just a suggestion. We did enjoy our stay and the accommodations were perfect for our granddaughter/gram weekend. Thanks!

Everything was as expected! Clean and perfect size for a family of 3! Close to beach and the village. I would definitely stay here again!

Loved the location however the owner must not have stayed at the property before, or perhaps hasn't stayed there recently. Otherwise the missing creature comforts might have been noticed such as:
1. Missing Towel/ clothing racks in the bathroom (a small bathroon needs this)
2. Kitchen utensils missing or broken (can opener broken)
3. The cookware was very dirty when we checked in and needed a thoroughly cleaning before use.
4. No cleaning supplies
5. No place for luggage
6. Could use another night stand and/or dresser
7. Bedside USB charging station didn't work
8. Couch and furniture was VERY worn.
5.0
Great location, very functional place. Could use a small outdoor are to sit, a 2nd mirror, and bathroom fan. Management was mostly responsive, except with one issue which involved a malfunctioning smoke detector. That one seemed important...
Overall, I'd stay again!

Perfect little inexpensive place to stay for the two of us for a long weekend. Same access to everything that the people staying in the million dollar homes have. Great fun

The location of this property was amazing!. Very short walk to the beach and about a 10-15 minute walk to the downtown area of Siesta Key. The only thing that was not great was the linens. The towels were stained (multiple spots) and looked as if they had been used a few too many times. Also, only a couple were provided, there was one “washcloth” that was actually a dish towel. I would highly recommend bringing your own linens! Overall a good visit just needs a little attention on the linens.

Very disappointed in property unit 4. Pictures are deceiving. Very old building. They tried to improve with some updates. Horrible smell that would not go away. Smelled like strong cleaning chemicals over musty/mildew. We parked in the wrong space and were asked to move. Other tenants were parked in our assigned space and would not move. We Drive an SUV, the assigned space is way to small. We left after only one night. I will admit I am a little fussy about things. This just didn't meet our standards. Location is good directly across the street from the beach. Laundry is located outside between the buildings in an open to air area it does have a roof over it. (I would not wash anything in them..just my preference). We will not be back. We ended up going to a brand named hotel instead of finishing our trip here.

The location was great. We could walk across the street and were on the beach. Its about a 15 minute walk to the Siesta Key village which has lots of shops and restaurants. The only thing we would recommend for the room is to fix the water pressure in the shower, very soft. Parking will be tight if you have a large vehicle. Unless you get unit 1. Needs black out curtains. Besides that everything was great.

We had a great 3 night stay. Everything in the listing is spot on and this is a great value play. Check in was easy, great communications via email. Our flight was late and we did not get in until 1 a.m., but with the key code and check in ap. made everything everything was great! The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is that the condo is in need of refreshing,, needs a new coat of paint, the bathroom door has some holes that have been repaired, but really the door should have been replaced. Also the ceiling has some curious drywall repairs. Mind you, I am a facilities engineer for a large Transportation company, so these things stand out to me...the unit was very clean, bug free and the bed was comfortable. As I mentioned, this is a great value play considering the current prices near Siesta Beach! Hope this was helpfull!

We loved how close the unit is to the beach! It was also lovely to have a little kitchen, washer, dryer etc. We both thought the bed was very comfortable. It was also close to the cute little town of Siesta Key.

It was exactly what I expected and I enjoyed my 2 week stay!!!The outside grill needs improvement and an indoor broom would help ,,,, other than that it was perfect! The sunsets (just across the street) were spectacular every night. I look forward to returning next year!

As stated in other reviews, location was everything. Across the street and a short walk takes you directly to the beach. And a 20 min walk takes you into siesta village for dinner.
With that said, the parking situation is a bit of a mess. They request that you park according to the size of your car, but if one doesn’t follow this rule it could potentially make it a mess for others. For example, a small car was parking in the suv spot, which means I had to try and squeeze my suv in the small car spot. Also, when the cleaners come it would be nice if they could park their cars according to size. I made a return trip from the beach just to move my SUV after the cleaners left.
The refrigerator makes a snoring noise, which I tried to drown out by using the fan. Didn’t work. There was also one Kcup coffee pod to use, which I thought was a good idea. Upon further inspection the kcup expired September, 2019. It would also be nice if there were plastic cups for use, or beach friendly plates and cups.
I would probably not stay here again, even with the value factor. I’ll pay a little more for something a bit more updated.

The location was top notch and we couldn't have asked for a more convenient place...close to the beach and an enjoyable walk to dining. The condo was clean and perfect size for our couples getaway. The kitchenette was cute and modern. The A/C had trouble keeping the room cool at night, even after turning it to the coolest setting. It wasn't so terrible that we needed to contact the management, but maybe something management can look at for future guests. The only other minor suggestions would be to consider the length of the stay and accommodate the necessities (more than one roll of TP and more than one kitchen trash bag for longer stays). Otherwise, we enjoyed the property and appreciated the onsite parking.
