About this property

Gateway to Siesta Key 1/2 mile Walk to the Beach Adorable 2 Bedroom Condo

Looking for a tropical winter get-away or an affordable luxury summer vacation?
Imagine taking a short 1/2 mile leisurely walk or drive across the bridge from your fully equipped condo and discover the famous white sands and crystal blue waters of Siesta Key - named one of the top ten beaches in the world! Lounging under a beach umbrella in the powdery-soft Siesta Key sand may forever alter your idea of a fantastic vacation.
Back at the condo relax on the lanai or rejuvenate in the pool. If you prefer driving to the beach, a public access point with parking lot and sand volleyball courts is a short drive away.

Great Experience

The condo was clean and smelled of cleaning products upon entering. Towels for both bath and beach and clean bed sheets provided, as well as beach chairs, umbrella, and a cooler if needed. (We did not use the cooler) We went to Turtle Beach each day which was less than a 10 minute drive. Would stay here again!

Villa Stay

The place was very clean and the list of things to do after was minimal. I had a hard time getting in at first, but the property owners were very responsive. No other problems. I could see if I made another trip to siesta keys I would consider my stay here again.

Location, clean, quiet

If those are you priorities this property will meet them. It is on the second level which we felt was a plus as there is more natural light. It is not a new building but it is well maintained. Beach equipment provided as a plus. Al

Review of Siesta Key condo

The place was great very clean and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfy and the bedrooms were large. My only thing is the second bathroom needed a rubber bath mat for inside the tub it was a little slippery but other than that a great place to stay close to everything. Would stay there again.

Beach Bungalow

Well kept condo, in a great location with all the comforts of home. Beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels provided. Sarasota, Siesta Key has a ton of fun things to do. This bungalow is located near many restaurants, grocery stores, beaches and activities. The pool is a great spot to wind down and relax after a day at the beach or running about town. Would recommend this location!

Great place with everything you could need

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The location was within walking distance to beaches and had everything that you could possibly need to go to the beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, cooler, and sand toys; we still choose to drive but there is also the free trolley. The kitchen had any appliance that we needed, a dishwasher, and the place was very clean when we arrived. It's a small building and I never has an issue utilizing the free laundry services on the property, we also didn't use the pool as we went to the beach but it was open late until 10 PM. They also provide boardgames and books for any down time you have. You can't beat this place with a great location and price!

great accomodations

This is our 3rd stay in this unit at Villa Maria and we consider this our second home. The unit is beautifully furnished and stocked with everything we need. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood and we are also close to major roads, the beach, shops and restaurants. Everything we need for beach, such as chairs, umbrella, and towels are all provided as well. The pool is nice with an outdoor shower, and there is also a washer/dryer room off the pool that is available for quests. Well recommended

About the host

Hosted by Chris Feeney

Host profile image
My husband and I are Realtors in Sarasota Florida for 15 years. We are owners in the building and the rental agent for the owner Steve Wiseman. He has completely redone this condo for a wonderful seasonal rental.

Why they chose this property

Steve 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 great spot!

What makes this property unique

You're not always stuck in the Siesta Key and south bridge traffic
Walking distance to Carrabbas and Stonewood restaurants
Small complex
Close to bus line
