Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Cirque St. Armands Beachside

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Friendly staff."

Siesta Key Tropical Island Oasis with Private Pool and 4 King Beds

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable"

Beautiful, Cozy 3/2 Siesta Key home close to village,beaches, city and airport

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute and cozy place on Siesta Key! The 3-bedroom home had 5 beds and 2 full bathrooms, so there was plenty of space for everyone. It was nicely put together, located in a quiet area, and had lots of room for parking. We also loved being only about a mile from the Siesta Key Village area!The host was very responsive, and both check-in and check-out were quick and easy. We had absolutely no issues during our stay. We also appreciated the little extras provided, like soaps and toothpaste.A few coffee pods for the Keurig and some basic kitchen items like a toaster, cooking oil, or a few spices would be nice additions, but those are definitely “nice to haves” and didn't take away from our stay.Overall, a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable place to stay. We would absolutely stay here again!"

"Very clean and spacious. Great being so close to the village."

Palm Paradise - Pet Friendly Home on Siesta Key w/ Large Heated Private Pool & Outdoor Area!

10/10 Excellent

"This house is a lively beach house with wooden floors and a wooden outdoor patio with chairs. My family and I loved how close we were to everything, st Armand’s circle, siesta key beach, a Publix is 6 minutes away. And so many restaurants to choose from! I am happy to have stayed there. The house was as described in the listing, the only thing was that it smelled like dusty furniture for a couple days and the house made noises at night when we were trying to sleep."

Modern Villa steps away from the white sandy beach on upscale Lido Key, Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled for a mini vacation with our kids from Maryland and we had a great time. We flew down so the fact that the rental had a beach closet was a win-win because we had no way to pack all of those items! The condo was upgraded and had a lot of great features and we also had a great amount of space! Parking was amazing too, because it was literally right beside the front door of the condo which made it so nice for loading and unloading! We would definitely stay here again!"
