About Jeff or Donna Laitsch

Our family loves to go to Florida to enjoy the sun, beach, swimming and all the golfing nearby.

Jeff or Donna Laitsch purchased this condo in 2002
Why Jeff or Donna Laitsch chose Siesta Key

Before we purchased our condo at 1364 Siesta Bayside Drive on Siesta Key we rented for many years at a variety of locations both on and off the beach. The Gulf and Bay Bayside just seemed more like home. It has a very quiet and safe neighborhood feeling. Our unit is located near the rear of the complex with a great view of the intracoastal waterway and very close to the large swimming pool. If you want to go to the beach and enjoy the sand, it's about a 600 yard walk from our front door. We have coolers and a beach cart available to make the walk easy.

What makes this condo unique

Just a perfect location. Close to the main pool with a great intracoastal view and a short walk to one of the worlds best beaches. We also have two tennis courts, grills and an excercise room.

Beautifull architecture, canal only 100 m away, real holiday feeling. Swimming pool ok, but given the number of condo's even a bigger one would be more welcome. Not enough umbrella's at the swimming pool. Inside of our house a little old-fashioned, but maybe that is because of us being European...Great private beach, only crossing the street, then 200 metres. Unfortunately, one is not allowed to use the gym across the street at the Gulf Bay resort nor is one entitled to sun chairs...Strange to experience that THE nr 1 beach of the USA does not offer cafe's and restaurants... Pretty strange...or maybe European taste. One needs a car, although Sarasota can be reached by bus. Downtown is 1,5 mile walk.

Owner's Response: John,

Thanks for your review. I too wish there was a café or restaurant on Siesta Key beach. Several years back, there was a quaint restaurant called the “Surf Rider” located on the beach which also had apartments. Reportedly, Betty Davis used to dine and lodge there while in town. There are quite a few quality restaurants on the island for dining including my favorite, “Ophelia’s On The Bay” which is awesome but somewhat pricey. Starting this week we are remodeling both bathrooms in our condo. The work is being done by a “European” who specializes in quality tile work. I think you will be pleasantly surprised on your next visit. I’m going down to check on the progress September 1st ,2012.
Take Care-Jeff

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was beautifully decorated and had everything our family of 5 needed at an affordable price. The beach chairs and umbrellas were an added bonus. The property was well maintained and our boys enjoyed the fishing dock. This was our first visit to Siesta Key and the beach was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

We stayed in this condo in June 2012 and found it met our needs perfectly. The bedrooms are separated from each other, so it felt as if everyone had privacy. The condo was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed, other than paper products, food, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of hangers in the closet, along with extra blankets and pillows. The beach is a little far but we needed the exercise anyway. The pool is perfect! It was very close to our unit and while we were there, it seemed as if it were our own private pool, as not many other people seemed to use it. We would definitely stay at this condo again!

Great Visit to Siesta Key!

This was our first trip to Siesta Key and we had a wonderful time! This unit was very nice and met our expectations. It was exactly as described, if not better. It provided everything we needed and was very clean. We enjoyed reading and eating our meals out on the screened porch overlooking the bay. There was a large pool directly across from the unit which was great for us since we have children. The walk to the beach seemed a little far initially, but quickly became enjoyable as we took in the beautiful landscaping and the children searched for lizards along the way! We enjoyed using the bikes and the umbrellas were great on the beach. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in your home. We hope to come again in the future. Siesta Key is a gorgeous beach to enjoy with the family.

Owner's Response: Thanks Hilary. It sounds like you had a great time. We are planning on remodeling the Master Bath this fall. Hopefully you will be able to come back and enjoy it again soon. Thank you.

This is a perfect rental! The unit is very nice, clean and up to date with everything you need. Spent two weeks here and did not need to buy one thing other than staples. The kitchen is fully equipped and even had juicer. Plenty of room for the family and a bay view! could easily sleep 8. Across from pool, fishing on dock, a very small gym direct access to beach. We used bikes, they do have rods, and plenty of beach supplies. The only thing you need is a hair dryer!!!! Job well done would reccomend.
