Sea Crest Beach Front Apartments

We found this location through AirBNB and we’re very thankful that we did. Location is basically beachfront and in a very safe location and family oriented. Also this location is within walking distance to a great little deli and 7 – 11 for any morning afternoon or late night snacks or Gatorade’s. Located roughly 2.6 miles from the village of siesta key it could be a long walk or quick drive over for an amazing time. Definitely would consider when looking in siesta key again.

The kitchen was fully stocked, the décor was very homey. The beach was 30 seconds away; this is a spot I’d recommend to anybody looking for peace and quiet. …they however, had no oven mitts. ^_^!

This place is very popular with young families with children. The kids run around, play in the heated pool, make friends, and everyone’s just steps away from the beach. As an added bonus, there’s gas-​powered grills on the beach side including umbrellaed picnic tables, all with a view of the water. It’s a great way to save some money cooking for the family and while still enjoying the sand, weather, and ocean views.
What’s a little weird is that despite hotel prices, it’s run like a weekly apartment. They give you some soap, toilet paper, and clean towels for the shower to start out with — but that’s it. After that, you’re in charge of getting more soap, making your beds, and fending for new clean towels. And the beds aren’t that comfortable.
But with those downsides, what I like most about this place is that it doesn’t have the sterile feeling of a new condominium, nor any elevators or stairs. You really feel like you’re at the beach, and you’re free to get your feet wet any time you want.
