I booked this property online because it was one of the most reasonably priced. It has rooms that lead directly to the pool and the beautiful beach beyond. I’m handicapped and really appreciated being able to go right out our screened in patio to pool or beach. The water was aqua and gorgeous! The people were so nice and very accommodating! Highly recommend!

Much needed get away

Our stay was wonderful. The area and grounds were beautiful and it was super easy to get to the beach. My husband is disabled and this was a huge plus. The unit was what was advertised. We loved it being on the ground floor with no steps to climb. The king sized bed was very comfortable and the tv with Netflix options was a plus we do not get to enjoy this amenity at home. The front desk was very helpful and courteous. The only observations that may need attention are the shower pressure and drain. The pressure was low and the drain didn’t want to work very well. We made it fine but it might be an area to consider looking into. It might be good to have a few more utensils in the kitchen as well as a noodle ladle.

Everything was very nice. Our only problem was the sliding glass door was open when we checked in, and was hard to close. We had a heck of a time locking it. Otherwise, nice and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Would recommend.

Beachfront property

This property has a spectacular location, very accessible to walk from your unit right to the beach. They have chairs and beach toys for there guests, and a shower to rinse off after a long day on the beach. The pool is quite large, and kept up well. The property is in a great location, close to shopping and many restaurants, but far enough for a peaceful retreat. Each unit has a screened in porch, so at night the bugs dont bother you. They even supply a drying rack for wet suits and towels. Our unit was very clean and had everything we would need for a weeks stay. I will come back here again !!

great destination. great accommodations. mid-key makes it idea. good restaurants nearby so no need to get in line to go up to AMI. only ask, reconsider decking material on the stairs going down to the beach. unbearable to walk on barefoot when the sun is hitting it.

Great Place for a Great Time

The check in was quick and easy, provided us with nice map and outline of property. The pool close the beach access was amazing! Although there was a little red tide that didn’t slow us down. We rented a couple of bikes and just hopped down to some public beaches where it wasn’t as bad. We were able to keep them secure on our linai that made evenings enjoyable as well. We will be returning to this place in the future.

Great location, pool and beach

Stayed for a week and overall it was great but the cleaning crew could do a better job though, which is why I can't give a 5 star review. Margaret at the front desk was fantastic, so helpful and friendly. The pool area and beach were perfect and having access to bikes at Cedars was a plus. We ate at Harry's, Blu Kouzina, Cafe L'Europe and Mar Vista. Highly recommend them all. Would stay again.

Good location, but needs updates

Nice vacation rental with pool and beach access. Needs some maintenance though - fridge is rusted, microwave doesn’t rotate, dish washer and bath fan sound like freight trains. Back door to lanai doesn’t lock so have to walk around. Shower faucet handle getting ready to fall off. Various dings and scratches. Bed was squeaky.

Very nice place and great location! I would say the kitchen could use a few more items such as serving bowls. And the patio view would be greatly improved if the shrubs around the pool were trimmed down a bit so you could see the pool and beyond to the beautiful beach!

A great beach-side stay

We only spent 2 nights but it was so relaxing. The beach here is excellent and I say that as a Florida native. The area is not heavily populated and there is no public parking nearby, so it feels almost like a private beach. We wanted a quiet, restful weekend of sun and swimming and that is exactly what we got. There are good places to eat all around the key. Sarasota and the Ringling Museum are just 25 minutes away. We wanted to stay longer!
