Perfect location for a winter getaway. Can walk or bike to Turtle Beach or Crescent Beach. The place was clean and modern with excellent wifi and all the beach items we needed (chairs, towels, umbrella).
This property was definitely a hidden gem. Pros are that it was clean, nicely decorated, comfortable linens and bed, pretty landscaping, fun and private pool,
No hairdryer in our bathroom. Bed and pillows were not comfortable at all. Squirrels running around in the attic in the middle of the night. Living room furniture was very dated and not comfortable at all. Laundry facilities were not operational during our stay. We were told to use another location. Can honestly only give this place two stars.
We stayed for 2 weeks in a one bedroom condo , it was basic , clean and comfortable . The swimming pool was very nice with plenty of seats and chairs to lounge about in . There were washing machines and dryers available to use free of charge , chairs and equipment for use at the beach ,Kyaks and bikes .
Well situated for visiting the beaches and surrounding areas.
As advertised, a clean and efficient villa on Siesta Key. The kitchen was nicely appointed with everything to cook a few hot meals. The laundry machines and bikes were much appreciated. I had a bit of trouble getting the door to lock properly, disappointed that the rental agency never replied when I left a weekend voice message asking for assistance.

Reviewer Comments:
The property and condo were all very well maintained. It was a small yet cozy condo. Plenty of space in the kitchen, the bathroom as spacious and updated, large comfortable bed. There was a dehumidifier that was on when we got there so we did not think anything of it until it started to leak as the water collection tank needed to be emptied. It was not a nuisance at all, just something worth mentioning. The added amenity of having bikes and kayaks was really nice! We utilized the bikes twice to ride to turtle beach. Would definitely return for another visit!
As advertised - clean + functional + great location!
My husband and I enjoyed a 3-night getaway to Siesta Key in February 2022. We booked last minute and could not find much available in our price range. I was honestly very hesitant to book Siesta Heron 4 because every time a customer has given any critical feedback in this forum, the response from the manager/company seems to be that this person's criticism is WRONG. My grandfather ran a successful business and always taught me, "The customer is always right". Anyway, the manager who leaves comments to people's reviews ought to check his defensiveness and be appreciative of people's honest feedback.
These units are small, quiet, well equipped, and nicely appointed. The location is great. Biking to Turtle Beach was awesome! We did find that the first three bikes we tried to take one morning were in disrepair - broken chains and flat tires. We found two in working order and were on our way. We didn't swim but found the pool and outside space to be uncrowded and lovely. We would stay here again!
The pool pump was not working until the afternoon of our second day and the pool was full of leaves and looked dirty so we missed using the pool as we checked out this morning.
Our stay was great. We had a lot of fun running, walking, biking to the beach. We wouldâve loved to paddle board in canal in back, but the current seemed too strong the first few times we checked. Bikes were an absolute hit!!!
Be sure to read the fine print- when youâre at store in town (1/2mile away) pick up roll of toilet paper.
The other surrounding units were occupied and everyone was so nice and quiet.
The weather was perfect. We loved that slight breeze.
Uber price to airport was $38.
We enjoyed our stay at Siesta Heron - great quiet neighborhood- small grouping of condos which was nice - on a pretty lagoon on which we kayaked. Provided free laundry, bikes, canoes and a nice clean pool. Apartment was spacious and clean but pretty dark - other guests were pleasant and we appreciated being a little removed from the hectic scene a Siesta Beach which is VERY popular this time of year. Also enjoyed a couple small local restaurants nearby. This was our first time on Siesta Key and we loved it - will return!
When we arrived, we found that no management was onsite. We had to correspond through e-mail, sign an agreement and then the door code was e-mailed to us before we could enter. The door lock code would not work until exactly our check in time of 3:00p. From the photo's we imagined the deck just outside of the back door. Nope, you had to walk around in back of property to get to it. The Beach is about 1 mile away and had ample parking. We also had a hard time finding the drive way to the property after dark. Other than the shower not having any pressure, the place was nice. It is an older building that has been renovated and updated. It was clean and the fellow residents were friendly. We found it convenient to restaurant's and shops by driving 3-5 miles. It felt secure, and safe, and we would most likely stay there again. The cleaning lady was very nice on the morning we checked out, other than that, we were given most information by the few residents there by the pool. Where to eat, location of beach etc.
Clean property, quiet, away from the âhubbubâ-in Turtle Beach area of the island- but still convenient to stores and restaurants.
King size bed was nice in the bedroom, nice size closet in there and also the bathroom. Big, nice shower, Nice kitchen with nice stainless appliances, granite countertops, but sparse cooking utensils and other dishes. Limited towels in the bathroom for a weekâs stay (we didnât want to buy or bring detergent and spend time doing laundry while on vacation.) However, having laundry facilities on site for use was a nice option. Furniture looked nice, but sitting on the couch was not comfortable; it felt âbroken downâ and didnât offer any support or cushion at all.
We moved some furniture around and used an air mattress in the living room as a second bed instead of using the one that pulls out from the sofa since the couch so uncomfortable to sit on.
While there, the smoke alarm seemed to super sensitive and would be set off anytime the oven or stove was turned on, even to be warmed up, before even beginning to cookâŠeven cooking eggs on the stove would set it off. It was quite the nuisance.
The pool was fantastic to cool off in at the end of the day after coming in from the beach. My cousin and I usually had it all to ourselves. It was fantastic!
There is a trolley stop literally across the street from the property.
Overall, a nicely appointed and clean property, but would be nice to have more towels throughout the week for the kitchen and bathroom to use and more options for utensils and other dishes in the kitchen as well. And perhaps update the couch to something more comfortable and sturdy.
We were very pleased with the quiet area that the villa was in.
The villa was just the right size for the two of us. Everything was updated and clean. The kitchen could have used a can opener and grill utensils. It had a Keirug coffee maker.
The pool was very nice and clean.
There were two gas grills for the seven villas to use, but only one worked. We used the grill several times.
Appreciated the laundry facilities . Plenty of new/large washer and dryers
There were bikes, canoes, paddle boards and beach chairs for anyone to use.
This was a wonderful little and peaceful place to stay. Would be nice if they had dish rags and maybe an additional kitchen towel but that is complete Minor. It was an extremely nice and peaceful place to stay. Canât wait to book again next year.
