Our vacation rental was experience was great. I received immediate feedback for all the questions I had. It was very easy to access our rental and had all of the instructions and regulations right on the app.
We were centrally located and our unit was very nice. My only complaint is that the master bedroom tub floor is very bumpy and almost soft feeling. After reading other reviews it appears it has been a problem for a while now.

We had an excellent time in Bay Oaks. The apartment was everything I was hoping for: spacious, nicely decorated, comfortable. Everything we needed was available. It was an excellent experience.

First of all, I can't tell you how much I loved the mattress in the master bedroom. I should have taken a look at the brand, bc I would buy it for my home. Everything else is above my expectations-fully stocked kitchen cabinets and washer and dryer. That was a lifesaver! Don't forget to look in the patio storage shed. Lots of Beach equipment to borrow! Only two things that were not awesome--the master shower has an uneven floor causing both my husband and I to slip and bruise ourselves and I can't find the remote to make the master tv work. Otherwise, we were extremely happy.

We stayed here for 9 nights. We specifically wanted a ground floor location so the kids could easily go out and play. This location was perfect for this and the condo felt very safe to be on the ground floor. Overall the condo was clean and very spacious for my family of 4. The grounds of the condo are well kept and the pool was clean. My wife and I even got the chance to play some billards in the main building.

The location is good but wish there were closer beach accesses. This is nothing the condo owner can do, but important to note for other travelers. We ended up driving to the beach access 12 every morning since the walk was too long for the kids. There are tips only rides you can take and the trolley, but out of convenience and to carry the beach stuff it was easier to drive.

The WiFi is really bad. The Internet speed is fine, but you basically have to stay in the master bedroom to keep a consistent connection (tried on multiple devices). The cost of a decent router is so cheap, this should not be a problem people should have.

We ended up having to clean a bunch of dishes when we got there. There were about a dozen bowls, mugs, and utensils with caked on melted cheese. Not sure what the previous guests were doing with so much cheese but they obviously didn't take the time to clean up. We also found a half eaten hot dog in the fridge. Wish the cleaner spent a little extra time to give the fridge and cupboards a once over.

Overall we were happy with our stay.

We stayed in this condo for the second year & have rented it again for next year for same time in March. While not the most updated one it is very clean and suitable for our needs while in Sarasota. Were pleased to have nice new towels and plenty of them even when our grandkids visited. Was hoping the bathtub in master bedroom had been replaced but everything else made for a great stay. I think insurance is supposed to cover the tub problem so maybe by next Spring it will be fixed. That is the only reason for the four stars. If you need a clean, convenient, comfortable place for vacation across from Siesta Key beach, this is a great one!

We are used to a more updated, newer condo than this. However, we were very optimistic, and we realized it was absolutely fine just like it was. It had everything we needed; in the kitchen and for the beach. The bed was comfortable, which is one of the most important things. It was also clean. It did have an odor that we finally figured was coming from the trash room right outside the kitchen window. We just aired it out when we got there by opening the patio door. Some others commented about the master bedroom shower, and it is true that it feels strange, like it's not installed properly.
But the water pressure was great and it never caused a problem. The bottom of the tub just didn't feel solid. I kept reminding myself it was working fine! This place was quaint but efficient and a place I would go back to for the price of rental. I never spoke with the management company, because all our transactions were online. However, they were very efficient and easy to deal with. I hate that my comments sound negative, because in truth this condo is not a bad place at all for the price.

Good spot, the condo building is 40 years old but the unit was well maintained and the pool is great and never too busy.

The location was good, it's easy to call the free taxis and walk (to public beach access 12) or drive to the beach.

If you're looking for something modern and flashy, it's not for you. But if you're looking for a modest place to stay it's great. The kitchen supplies could be updated - pans, wine glasses.

Overall would recommend.

Stayed here for 6 nights with my mother, sister, and my two young nieces. Everyone had enough room to relax. The place was clean and stocked with mostly everything you'd need. Good location and nice pool to jump in after a day at the beach. The twin beds and sofa bed need to be replaced. I'm glad I broght my air mattress. My mother slept in the king bed and said was comfortable. The a/c worked great and the shower water pressure was awesome.

This was a hidden gem. Close to everything! Loved the decor. So relaxing did not want to leave. Loved the king bed so comfortable I slept like a baby.

Rating:

The place is very nice, a few minutes away from public beach access. Very clean. Great beds.

Rating:

We were so happy, the only think is the building is in a second raw across from the beach and we had to badge through first line properties to get to the beach to avoid driving. But will come again.

Condo location was great. Nice, roomy condo, comfortable beds, couch & seating area. Kitchen set up nicely. Loved having the washer & dryer & spacious closets. Plenty of room for guests & easily sleeps six people. Gonna stay again!!

The condo was nice, however it does not have wifi as advertised. There is no signal available in the unit. When I rent and it is advertised with wifi I expect to have wifi in the unit. You have to go to the condo office to actually get wifi. Having beach chairs available for renters would have been nice also. Renting them for $10 a day is not really an option for a family of 4. I ended up buying some and leaving for the next guests. I own a condo in St. Thomas and have adequate beach towels, chairs and wifi in my unit.
