We had to cancel our rental on Siesta Key because of the hurricane. I'll say the area is a bit underwhelming by comparison with Siesta and several other beach towns we've been to. Not as much going on, but we had a few restaurants, and there's a wonderful grocer across the street with great pizza, baked goods, a huge selection of beer and wine! The beach is one block away and easy walk which is good, and it's a nice beach.
The unit was overall clean. Our biggest beef is the living room/kitchen area smelled noticeably mildewy. The AC unit probably needs a good cleaning. The bedroom smelled better. Things like the towels, dishes, etc all seemed pretty old and worn. Only one wine glass. That's pretty picky I know and ya'll may not care, but just trying to leave a thorough review.
