Nice Spot on Siesta Key

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.

Cute complex, walking distance to the beach, in need of updates

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 our stay at Jim and Debbie Lay's condo at Gulf and Bay Bayside.

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.

Highly Recommend

Had a very enjoyable vacation in Siesta Key. There were six family members with plenty of room and the condo was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for fishing, swimming and a just short walk to the beach. The owner was great to work with and made our stay awesome! I would highly recommend this unit and plan to visit again next year!

Disappointed

This rental experience was a big disappointment . Initially rented this unit because owner said they had arrangements for boat dockage available, few weeks before arrival, it was not. Upon arrival, unit had been closed up for some time, and hot water heater turned off. Master bed was uncomfortable, stained towels and sheets. The refrigerator and stove were dirty. The roofs were being done on this unit, noisy, workers present, having lunch on door step, and roofing supplies and garbag around. We had a screw in our tire. And then mid way thru our week the air conditioner went out. Owners did not respond propmtly instead we were told the day after air conditioner went off, find a new rental and we would be given a full refund. So we spent a day of our vacation locating another rental, packing up from this unit and moving into a different property. Owners did not do a full refund. The one good experience of this property, is it is in a good location and pool is across the street.

Perfect Home Away from Home

This condo was so perfect for our annual family vacation to Siesta Key. Upon arrival we immediately felt at home. The condo was very spacious and clean and it had all of the supplies we needed for an easy and enjoyable stay. The property was beautiful, the pool is right across the street and was great for our young kids. We enjoyed going to the beach every day, either walking with our beach cart or driving down to park at one of the more secluded access points. Debbie, the owner, was very accessible and answered all of my questions and was extremely helpful. We plan to be back as soon as we can!

Great location! The unit had everything that we needed.

The unit was a great location and had everything that we needed for a great holiday! The pool was very close to the unit - the pool area is very nice as well. The pool is large and there are lots of chairs around the pool. The condo was clean and comfortable. The beds are comfortable, the unit is a nice layout and well stocked. We really enjoyed the lanai. We liked the ground level as well. We went to the beach daily, about a 10 minute walk. We really enjoyed having both options of beach and pool. Condo complex is very nice and people are very friendly. Siesta Key is a lovely destination! We went with our teenagers and everyone had a great time!

Clean well kept & we liked ground level

Unit was just across from pool, which we used most days. Pool was heated to comfortable temp. We also used pass to walk across to beach..10 minutes ( I walk slow). Also enjoyed easy walk behind unit to watch boats motoring by. Owner was easily accessible. We had no problems and had a very nice week!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Lay

We are a family of five from Ohio and have been coming to Siesta Key for 35 years. Having vacationed other places, we found nothing could compare and always knew we wanted to buy here. Like us, we know you will love it and find it very hard to leave!

Why they chose this property

Bayside offered everything we love - fishing, boating, private beach access and a short walk to the Village. We chose this villa for it's prime location near the pool and it's view of the Bay. Bayside has a Key West charm to it and feels more private than other resorts. It has everything we were looking for.

What makes this property unique

One of the unique benefits of being at Gulf and Bay Bayside is that you don't have to find a public access to the beach and fight the crowds. You can pack up your beach cart and use the crosswalk in front of the complex to our private beach access which is just across the street. At the same time, you are right on the Bay where you can fish or watch for manatee. There is something for everyone!
