"This was my favorite vacation and vacation spot ever! First, the front desk person was extremely nice. She showed me a map of the grounds, where the beach was, and some suggestions for places to eat and things to do. This was greatly appreciated as it was my first time in the Siesta area. The room was incredibly clean and even came with 4 beach towels that we could exchange for new towels at any time. We were a leisurely 3 minute walk from the beach. That was super great. The location itself has laundry on premesis, as well as TWO separate pools. One is a more updated fancy looking pool with waterfalls and many places to sit or lay out. The other, older, pool is a basic rectangle but goes to about 8 ft deep. We took advantage of both of these pools and they were both great and a comfortable temperature. Within walking distance was about 10-15 restaurants, a few ice cream places, a donut place, a convenience store, and a bus stop for the free trolly/bus that goes up to Siesta Beach and to downtown Sarasota. It runs every 15 mins or so. I cannot thank this property, its friendly staff, and its great cleaning folks enough. Thank you so much for a great vacation. "
