Sandpiper Beach Club

We stayed there in May of 2003. The unit we had was very nicely furnished, roomy and had a nice kitchen. The beach is GREAT out front.

However, while we had a top floor unit, it was on the North side of the building, and there was another building going up that looks like it will block the ocean view from all of the units on that side. Try to get a front unit if possible.

The pool was ok, and there are plenty of showers outside for rinsing off saltwater. We plan to stay there again!

This resort has a wonderful position on the beautiful beach on Siesta Key. The apartments are spacious and well furnished. The problem for us was that while most of the apartments have great sea views, we were low down on the side of the building and had no view at all. I suspect that this unit is the one that is most often exchanged.

We were very pleased to be able to walk to several restaurants in the evenings. It is also a short drive to the mainlaind for shops and entertainment.

Plus points, the resort is right on the beach. Minus points, the pool area is cramped and gets very noisy at times if there are lots of young people.

Many of the owners return year after year and have got to know each other well. Our stay was in November 2002.
