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.

Owners, Essie & Mel Fechter purchased this condo in 1985
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: Cool for March, but sunny.
Our favorite adventures: walking the beach, happy hour on the lanai, shopping, touring and visiting friends. Of course, watching the sunset.
Great restaurants we discovered: Our favourite was Javier's, loved the tapas and just a short walk away (10-15 min.). Also, Miguel's, in the same strip mall as Javier's, Excellent. Both reasonable.
Other thoughts to share: The owners, Essie and Mel provided a welcome basket overflowing with goodies. Also, found more in the fridge. The condo filled with surprises, i.e., soaps, TP,beach towels and chairs, a full set of cutlery with everything imaginable.
A special thanks for a warm welcome from Essie and Mel."
