Quiet. Clean. Cute. Perfect!!

This condo was perfect! Extremely close to Siesta Key in the cutest little neighborhood. The condo was clean and decorated adorably! We really couldn’t have asked for more for our girls getaway. Check in was easy and communication was top notch! If we decide to return to Sarasota next year, we will definitely book this condo again!

Close to beach, quiet neighborhood

Our property was in a quiet neighborhood and just a short walk or drive to the beaches. I loved having the beach chairs and umbrella to use. There were also many good restaurants and stores within an easy drive. The condo was perfect for our family. I would definitely recommend!

Nice, Clean, Quiet, Great Location!

The place was nice and clean. My only issue is the beds were super firm - uncomfortable for me- and the furniture was not very comfortable to relax, which would not have been much of an issue if we weren’t stuck inside for a day and a half due to the rain. But other than that host was amazing and it was easy to get to everywhere we needed to. And the pool was great (and comfortably warm!) as we could pop out to the pool in between rains.

Wonderful Stacy!

The owners provided a wonderful stay! Communication was top notch, the condo was clean, comfortable, and the owners were nice enough to stock the condo with lots of towels/beach chairs/cooler. The condo had board games, cable, internet, and music. It truly had all the luxuries of home.The area was quiet and we enjoyed the clean pool. The beaches were not crowded and people were very nice! I will definitely visit again!

Great! Just one suggestion!

Lovely condo!! Great location and very clean and comfy! So wonderful! We have also stayed in condo b previously, it was great as well. The only suggestion I would add is to have on hand a few essentials such as olive oil, spices, sweeteners, and shampoo, conditioners snd the like. I usually always take these but forgot a couple this tome snd there were no “savior soaps” available, so we had to dollar tree it. Other than that it is an amazingly wonderful spot. Will do it again!!

Great place to stay

The property was very clean, very well maintained, and very comfortable. Everything that we could want was provided in the unit. Very nice. We had a small glitch with the access code when we arrived, but Susan fixed that once we spoke with her. The public beach on Siesta Key was just a few minutes drive (with plenty of free parking at the large public lot, if you arrive before 11:00 or so). The closest public access path to the beach from the condo is #12, just across from Capt Curts. Parking is very limited at this access, but it is walkable. We always enjoy staying in the Siesta Key area, and we were happy to stay here.

Great stay at Villa Maria!

We had a lovely stay from Jan 7 - Feb 28 at Susan's place. It was well stocked and we had lots of room . I loved the ice maker and the walk in shower. Lots of fun meeting the other folks that stayed there. The pool was refreshing. It was close to Siesta Key. We enjoyed using the free trolley. So many things to see and do in the area you could never see it all. From St. Armands Circle to the markets and great music in The Village, we had a ball! Susan responded quickly to anything we needed. We didn't want to leave. We hope to come back soon. Thanks Susan for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

Great Location for Exploring Sarasota

We wanted to check out Sarasota and get a little beach time. The condo was comfortable and quiet. Just across the causeway from Siesta Key. We drove to Turtle Beach and Siesta Key Beach and enjoyed them both. We also did some exploring in Sarasota and enjoyed the aquarium there. We only stayed a few days but would definitely book a long stay next time. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Great outdoor patio! Easy access to the unit and clear instructions for check in, wifi, and check out. The condo only has 8 units. The pool is small but it was empty most of the time so I think it’s plenty for the size of the complex. We didn’t get to swim in the pool due to time constraints but it looked inviting!

Super fun

Myself and my 3 friends stayed here and we loved it! It was a great property and we loved the pool! On top of everything, the beach chairs were fire and having sand toys at the villa was such a bonus. We left behind some inflatables to add to the fun for others . Definitely would stay again

About the host

Hosted by Susan Feeney

Host profile image
My husband and I are Realtors in Sarasota Florida for 15 years. We decided to make a go of it and make this adorable condo a seasonal rental. We have owned it for 10 years.

Why they chose this property

We just thought this condo was the just the right size and location. You don't get caught in the Siesta Key traffic unless you are at the beach!! It's a small complex with only 8 units to the building.
Just a cute spot!

What makes this property unique

Not always stuck in the Siesta Key and south bridge traffic
Can walk to Carrabbas and Stonewood restaurants
Small complex
Close to bus line
