This was perfect for my family. We stayed in one of the condos so we had a kitchen and living room space. The facility isn't manned by in person staff so don't expect your room to be cleaned every day, but I prefer it that way. Very close to the beaches and a two minute drive to the local shops and restaurants.

Clean, comfortable, short walk to beautiful beach

Our room was nicer than I expected, after reading several of the reviews. AC worked fine, shower water was cool, but weather was hot so we didn't mind. Hotel provides beach chairs, which we used and appreciated. Beach parking lots were packed, so we loved the location of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again--much cheaper than nearby alternatives.

I rented the 2 bedroom condo - The condo is a little outdated with the furniture it has but it was clean, everything worked. The staff was friendly and very serviceable. The area is very quiet and walkable distance to the beach. They provide 2 beach towels but they are standard towel size I recommend you bring your own. They do provide the very little sitting beach chairs. I definitely recommend the place for a short getaway.

All the reviews about this property owner being the Hostess with the Mostest are 100% on point. I made a very last minute reservation which she accommodated with the utmost grace. When the neighboring room kept me awake, she moved me to a different, quieter room. Again, with nothing but the utmost grace. The room was clean and tidy, the bed oh-so-comfortable. I will be back on my next trip to Sarasota. Thank you so much for the over the top hospitality. God bless you and your family.

4A had an unusual odor the did not go away. Although the place seemed tidy, the floors were sandy and gritty. Bedding smelled stale and unwashed. The bed side lamp will easily tip over if not careful turning on and off. Water from shower and bathroom sink had an odor. We had lost power on first night from about 11pm until the next morning. Communication wasn’t great. Sent text about losing power at 6:32am, no response until 11:08am. Did not lose power again after that. Refrigerator was small but kept food cold even during outage. AC finally got to temp during the night and very grateful that AC stayed on all night throughout outage.
