Joe & Inna: stayed September 23-29, 2023. Absolutely beautiful, cozy and clean condo supplied with all kitchen/bathroom/beach needs. Great location on Siesta key, 1 mile away from the paradise beach. I had most romantic and beautiful vacation with my beloved spouse, and we are definitely coming back! Thank you, Brent!

This place was perfect for me and my adult kids!! We loved it! It was clean, neat, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Great location and absolutely loved the dock. The owner was very easy to communicate with! Had stuff for the beach and shampoo conditioner….everything needed for the kitchen! Will stay here again.highly recommended!!

The stay was awesome!

Good location

Online photos are deceiving. Property photos and owner descriptions are the only tools renters have when choosing a property. Check in process was fine. Condo complex is older. Condo itself was deplorable. Day 1- I ended up spending 2.5 hours on the phone with VRBO and ended up staying the night at a hotel 40 min away from Siesta Key. Sent VRBO agent photos of condo condition. Stains on living room furniture coverings, stains on master room’s bedding, floors need replacing (and I when I say replacing - I mean 10 years ago they probably needed to be replaced because of so much grime that had accumulated in grout and in the divet lines of tiles), dirt in every corner of baseboards, found 2 bugs in the unit, sliding glass door sticks when opening/closing, needed a paint job because of markings on walls and doors. VRBO ended up contacting owner and stating that he was on his way over to the unit to speak with me. I felt extremely uncomfortable with this proposed resolution because I was a female traveling alone. The owner was not polite whatsoever; he basically called me “special” because he stated he only had issues with about 1 in every 50 guests. I guess I am special because I do expect basic cleanliness of places I plan to sleep in! I texted owner about an hour after he left to tell him that I had left the condo and was not returning. We had agreed on a refund but he did not refund me for the first night (even though I didn’t stay there). He states that I had showered and used towels and I guess that justified him not reimbursing me for that night even though I had to pack everything back up and drive 40 min and pay $125 for a night’s stay at a hotel. And just to clarify, I used maybe 2 wash cloths and did not shower. There’s no way I was showering in that condo. I wouldn’t even walk barefoot in there, much less shower. Owner’s email to me post departure was equally as condescending and rude as our face to face meeting, which wasn’t surprising to me. Needless to say, I will not be renting anymore places on VRBO in the near future. I had booked many places on this web site but this experience was horrible. A day of my vacation wasted by being on hold with VRBO, packing, unpacking, packing again and driving 40 min away from my beach vacation site, only to land in Punta Gorda for the remainder of my time in Florida. FYI - my new place in PG was absolutely spotless and I had zero issues. Best of luck to this unit in Siesta Key….it needs major help.

We are 60+ years old. We came after spring break and it was nice and quiet. We appreciated having the blender, we used it daily. The bikes were in good shape and we had fun riding them. The location was good for us, we could walk or drive to the beach access points. Brent was quick to respond when we had a question or simple request. We would consider staying at the same condo again.

We spent the month of January 2023 in this unit. The location was great and Brent was very easy to work with. We had a couple of issues that he addressed quickly for us. I agree with a couple of other reviewers that the place could use a deep cleaning. I noticed during our stay that there were some Damp Rid bags hanging in a couple of places, but didn't think much of it until we got home and noticed a musty smell on our clothes upon unpacking. If you are sensitive to mold you might want to rethink this unit. Many thanks to Brent for his hospitality!

Host was quickly responsive when required a few things at beginning of the stay. New appliances in kitchen which were great and comfy king size bed. Intercoastal dock was great and people very friendly. Enjoyed our charcoal bbq’s and the heated pool. Walk to beach access is about 10-15 minute walk). Took free Trolley a few times and enjoyed it. Great to have bikes to ride up and down the key!

Brent made everything very easy and everything was exactly as we expected it.

I always stay there. Going back again in December.

Homey feel, comfortable nice to be able to cook and not go out to eat for every meal. We will definitely stay again.

Renting was very easy. Love the location being near the beach and shopping at Siesta Village.

We had a wonderful time at the property and will definitely be back.

Unit B-61 is so dirty the grout in the tiles is dark brown and black in about 95% of the place. Every piece of furniture is stained , including bed, pillows, cushions and blankets. The wicker chairs in dinner table are crusted with dirt, food and God knows what. I’m sure this place is rented out without it ever being cleaned. What’s even more disgusting is that the owners rules that are posted on the refrigerator say to remove lines and towels and leave on the kitchen floor but NOT the blankets or quilts. To just leave them on the bed or you’ll get charged extra cleaning charges. They look and smell like they have never been washed. The oven has caked on grease and stinks. I was informed by the owner days before or trip that his wife would be coming to unit because they were replacing the stove. It was being delivered while we were renting it…Totally unprofessional and a disruption to one’s vacation. I do not understand how most previous renters have this unit positive ratings. If never seen a place this dirty. I wish I could post pictures of what this unit really looks like.

We had a wonderful experience here. Property is in a great location between the bay and the beach. Restaurants and shopping are a short trolley or bike ride away. Condo packs a lot into a small space. We hope to stay here again!

Great place to relax and take a break. This is my second time at this condo and have it reserved again this coming December. Brent is a great host.

We sent a message to the "Super host" twice and heard right back from him but the day before we left we sent him a list of all the areas that were dirty as soon as we walked in, I even sent a couple pictures but I could of sent more. The general concern for us was it needed a heavy duty cleaning along with the rugs, the curtains the walls, literally the whole place needed some TLC. We never heard back from him regarding the most important concerns. It could be awesome either the location & the cost was exceptional.

This property is ideally located on the beautiful Siesta Key strip, perfect for restaurants, beaches and walking with easy access to shopping and places of interest. We settled in quickly and enjoyed a relaxing 2 weeks to start off our extended vacation from the UK. Its very friendly and easy going here something for everyone. The accommodation is very clean and had ample space for the 2 of us. Kitchen is fairly compact but all you need for a vacation home. Owner is always available and helpful and its reasonably priced so give this place a go..

The condo was just as described. The beds were super comfortable and the condo had everything needed for a perfect stay. The location was right near everything. We would definitely stay there again.

Property was perfect for the three of us. Great location and my husband loved the fishing.

Condo was good!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this location. The property was super clean, and has a BEAUTIFUL dock to relax on. It was a fairly quick walk to the beach, and if you don’t mind a short drive the Public Beach Access number 8 is amazing for pictures. I would definitely recommend this condo to others, and we plan on booking for next year too!

Property was nice for the price, enjoyed bayside, BBQ grill, cooked out alot!

We had a great time visiting Siesta Key. The owner does a great job with all the amenities they provide their guest. We were very comfortable and are planning our next trip back..

It was so nice to find a rental on Siesta Key that didn't require a 7 night stay. The pictures don't do the unit justice! The property is so cute and beachy! Such a bonus to have the beach chairs, umbrella and wagon etc! The property is so quiet, pool is perfect and open until 10pm! Loved our stay.

Overall the property was great. The only complaint I have is that there was only 1 roll of toilet paper. Other than that, everything was as advertised! I would stay here again.

My concerns are not with the owner, who was fine, but with the complex itself. although unit could use better small appliances and new pans. The 1 bedrooms at Bay Oaks are tight, the kitchen has no storage or prep area. Every time the people upstairs flushed the toilet, we heard it. Every time they did laundry and ran the dishwasher, we heard it. Leave bikes inside unit rather than bike racks as there is an issue with theft.

Great place.
