Perfect spot on SK

Another wonderful stay! Best value on the key! Yes it’s an older building BUT you won’t find a better deal for the location! And most importantly, it’s very clean and Lisa is extremely responsive and delightful to work with. The beds are cozy and you will find all the little necessities of home in the bath and kitchen. High Quality beach chairs and towels. You will not need a car and can walk in seconds to beach and just a block to the Village for eating drinking and shopping, including grocery. The Key is sadly filling up with million dollar high rises at every turn, but this lil bungalow gives the OG beach lifestyle that put SK on the map years ago. We look forward to staying again.

Thanksgiving Stay

This property is in a perfect location being very close to the beach as well as the village. Lisa was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. She does a wonderful job of ensuring that you have all that you need including adding very special touches such as fresh flowers. The unit is very dated but served it's purpose. There is a musty, mildew scent and some of the floor stick on vinyl tiles are starting to come up likely from the recent hurricanes. The only "concern" we had was that the wooden stair case that you use to get to the unit is a little shaky and needs to be secured better so that it feels strong and solid. All in all, we'd rent this unit again.

Would Stay Again. Property as Advertised.

Great communication with Lisa before and during the stay. Location is right beside public beach access as described. Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and wagon/cart were provided. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Located a few minute walk away from multiple bars and restaurants. Sufficient parking for 2 normal sized vehicles. Great for 2 couples or a small friend group. If i return to Siesta Key, I would stay here again.

The two bedroom bungalow was very homie, had everything ready for our stay. Is a little old of a place but the up keep and decor made it feel like you were home. We had a pretty good storm while there and the property manager was in contact with us the whole time was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again. Very close to the water and just a block away from the village. Loved our stay.

GEM is a gem!

This is the third or fourth time we have stayed in GEM and love it every time. The proximity to the beach and the village for restaurants, shopping and entertainment is everything you could possibly want when visiting Siesta Key! You do not need a car when staying here. Everything is extremely walkable and if you don’t want to walk, there are plenty of free transportation options! GEM is very clean, well stocked, all beach supplies you need, and Lisa is extremely responsive for any questions! We will definitely be staying here again for our next trip to Siesta Key!

Property was as advertised and we were happy with the location. Only issue was location of next door property and the loudness of their gatherings on 3 occasions. I had to call sheriff 3 occasions to go and ask them to lower voices directly under our bedroom windows at 1:20 AM being the latest. Our host Lisa was very responsive and helpful.
