Photos and Description of the Siesta Key vacation condo rental
1 Master BR, 1 Den/BR combo; 2 Baths (Sleeps 4 Maximum!)

Come to paradise! Your eighth-floor apartment, Gulf front condo is just the right height and location to take in the breathtaking surroundings of Crescent Beach, rated the top beach in the USA last year! Still is!!

Your 30-foot screened lanai can be accessed through glass doors in three rooms. The beautiful view of the Gulf stretches as far as the eye can see. This beachfront unit is ideal for a couple desiring great comfort and expansive living, but still comfortable for 3 to 4.

The floor plan is identical to that of a 2 bedroom/2 bath unit, except that a wall between the 2nd bedroom & living room has been replaced with a folding door to provide privacy when not not being used as a large, open living area. You have a den by day, or a second bedroom by night. This room has comfortable trundle beds. No matter the number in your party, you still have the advantage of an open living room/den combination. The trundle bed can convert to 2 twin beds or 1 King size bed (See our photos of both options.)

Why the Owner Chose Crystal Sands: Having lived in Florida since 1957, we chose Siesta Key as the ideal location for a vacation home. We now live in Sarasota, but love the Crystal Sands condo so much that we've decided to keep it forever.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo: This direct gulf-front from your lanai; 2 full bath condo sleeps one to four people (King size bed in master bedroom and trundle beds, can convert to 1 King bed, in den/bedroom that sleeps two.) Condo may be used with large, open floor plan with master bedroom, or close the den's privacy wall and have two private bedrooms. Our unit is located on the eighth floor, faces southwest, and features 3 TVs, one 42'; free high speed wireless Internet, and a washer & dryer in the unit (more washers and dryers by the elevator). The living room, the master bedroom and the den/bedroom all have sliding glass doors to the screened balcony. The master bathroom has a combination tub/shower; the main bathroom has a large shower. The Kitchen is complete with dishwasher, refrigerator, double-oven stove, microwave, kitchen/cooking utensils, pots & pans, George Foreman Grill, Double waffle maker, toaster, blender, coffee maker, etc. If you need it and we don't have it, we will get it! Just tell us!

There are two heated swimming pools (one located next to the beach, the other adjacent to the complex's office) The unit is virtually free of traffic noise being about 800 feet from the street. New carpeting and painting one year ago. Fiber Optic cable TV, free unlimited long distance calling throughout US, Canada Guam, Virgin Islands.

About Owners, Essie & Mel Fechter

We moved to Orlando, Florida from Columbia, S.C. in 1957 and spent many wonderful vacations with our four children on Siesta Key. We purchased our beautiful condo on the 8th floor in 1985 and have shared it with many guests from all over the world. We manage our apartment so that you will get the best possible experience while on vacation knowing that we are 10 minutes away for any emergencies should you need us.

Why Owners, Essie & Mel Fechter chose Siesta Key

We chose Crystal Sands for its beauty which stood out above the rest! Siesta Key is the ideal location for a vacation home. We love this property so much that we've decided to keep it forever.

What makes this condo unique

Besides the beauty of Crystal Sands, we have the best of all worlds--the powdery white beach, the calm expansive gulf, the breathtaking sunsets nightly, great weather, and beautiful Sarasota.

"The weather was: A+ Perfect! 84 and beautiful water and beach.
Our favorite adventures: Beach, beach, & beach! We enjoyed having breakfast and lunch everyday on your lanai. A truly magnificent view. The village is fun to visit and breakfast at the "Broken Egg" is a must. The sunsets were picture perfect --on my computer screen :)
Great restaurants we discovered: Phillippi Creek is casual with great seafood. Broken Egg at the village. Turtles rest @ Turtle Beach.
Other thoughts to share: Essie & Mel, we loved our stay at your condo! Your hospitality was "above the rest" --thank you so much for the gift basket, bread, and keylime pie. Our week was fantastic and we will be back. This is our third trip to Siesta Key and your condo was the best - perfect. Best wishes to you!"

"The weather was: perfect! Thank you so much for the use of your umbrella!! I wouldn't have stayed outside without it!
Our favorite adventures:: Just Relaxing on the beach! We had a great 3-hour sailboat ride with "Key Sailing" and would recommend it to anyone. Also enjoyed walking around the Village and listening to music at the various restaurants.
Great restaurants we discovered: Our favorite was the Boatyard where we could eat out on the water. Also: loved SCOB.
Other thoughts to share: Thank you so much for the warm welcome and very generous "Welcome Basket"! It had everything we needed and then some to get our vacation started after a long trip to get here. The key lime pie was great! Your condo is picture perfect and the view is amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us and hopefully we'll be back soon! For now, back to reality." :(
