  Family oriented resort. Clean and welcoming rental space, beach, and pool. Breathtaking view of the beach/ ocean. The community grills make cooking easy. My family has been coming to the Island House for many years. This was my grandson’s first vacation. He loved it! We will continue to come back. Our spot makes vacationing easy, comfortable, and fun.

  We cannot say enough about our experience with Island House Unit 18S
  The condo was clean and well appointed. There was NEVER any noise from outside or other units.
  The view was beautiful and exactly what is on the web site.
  Some suggestions - put together a notebook with restaurant recommendations and "things to do" and things to watch out for (parking charges and tickets)
  Also, the air conditioner system was very loud. We were OK as we turned it off in the evening and were comfortable but during the hotter months, that wouldn't be an option.
  Overall it was an excellent experience.

  My wife and I had 2 wonderful weeks relaxing at the beach. Despite a few "scars" remaining from Ian, the Island house property was in great shape and we experienced a seamless stay. The weather was great so we could enjoy the beautiful view from our dinning area and the sun and sunsets at our leisure. The local restaurants were great and uncrowded- especially enjoyed Sardinia a hidden gem

  It was great, as usual. Three weeks after Hurricane Ian hit and we were afraid that things would be out of sorts but there was only a minor parking inconvenience. The apartment was outstanding and had great views. The only down side was that the cookware in the apartment was below average, but that could be a result of many things and did not detract from us enjoying our stay.

  It was our first time staying with Island House Beach Resort and it was fantastic! We are already booked for next year! The view from our room was spectacular! It was nice being able to wake up and go for our morning walk, right on the beach!
  
  The place was much larger than places we have stayed in at other locations. It was clean and had everything we needed to function for the week, pots and pans, coffee maker, glasses, knives, forks, spoons. We stopped at Publix just up the street before we got there to pick up food for the week. It all worked out well.
  
  It was easy to get to the shuttle stop (right in front of the resort) and go to shops and restaurants at Siesta Key Village.
  
  We enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to next year’s vacation at Island House Beach Resort. Thank you to the crew at the front desk for answering all of our questions.

  We vacation from the U.K. and have been coming to the USA for about 30 years.
  We have been staying nearly every year on Siesta Key and at Island house for the last 10 years.
  This resort complex is on the best part of the beach and the apartments have a brilliant view.
  So we would highly recommend Island House for your stay.

  We had a wonderful time in May 2022. The condo being right on the beach was the best part. Very comfortable and very clean! Loved that view! It was nice to have some little things provided, like the outdoor grills, tables, pool, even had a coffee pot, filters, towels and the necessities. Plenty of room for us two and it had a bonus room in case we had other guests. Will definitely stay again!

  Very impressed with the unit. Clean, modern, well maintained and very spacious! Beautiful ocean view. Easy and short walk to the beach! A lot of restaurant options nearby and Siesta Key Village is minutes away with charming shops and a lot of restaurant options - it looked magical in the evening with lights all around and live music throughout. Easy check-in/check-out using the app and staff at front desk was kind and helpful in answering our questions. Will definitely return!

  Olga R from Calgary, AB recommends this vacation rental

  Reservation, check in and out was really easy and organized. The condo is perfectly clean with an absolutely breathtaking view. The kitchen is well equipped, master bed room very comfortable bed and the rest of the place is well
  maintained and nice decor. Where the sofa bed is located to be able to convert the space in another room is great but it would have been nice to have a real mattress to be able to sleep! We requested an extra padding or something to help our son sleep to the office but we didn’t get any positive answer, so we ended up buying a foam mattress, which we left it at the condo to help for future guests. For light sleepers, the air conditioner from the condo below us was really loud, making difficult to sleep (it could be the way the buildings are build and the way each condo is located, making this noise in all of them?). Unfortunately the beach wasn’t as beautiful as always, due to the “Red Tide” making it impossible to get in the water and enjoy the beach. We would for sure recommend this place and will be back for next holiday.

  Angela T from Union, KY recommends this vacation rental

  This was our second trip to Island House. There is no beach better than the powdery soft sand at Siesta Key. We walked this beach every day. You can have beach bicycles delivered to your parking area by Siesta bike rental to ride on the beach. We kayaked at Turtle bay in a quiet, peaceful nature preserve. The two person kayak was great. This unit was beautiful as pictured with nice layout, large kitchen with everything we needed and breathtaking views of beach and sunsets right from the living room and sun room on top floor. Comfortable king bed and a pullout sofa bed could be partitioned off behind living room. It’s a quiet area and nice heated pool and rec room there also. You can get free shuttles to other places on the key like Siesta Village and Turtle Beach areas. Our favorite restaurants were Big Water Fish market, geckos sports bar just across Old Stickney bridge by Best Western with great food, Turtle beach grill was nice outdoor lunch spot and The Hub in the village was great as well. Off the Key, Walt’s fish market and Der Dutchman for home cooked Amish food. Millie’s was just up Clark st and has wonderful breakfast menu. Publix grocery store was just across the bridge also. Crescent Beach grocery had a nice deli and make sandwiches to order.
