We just got back from a short weekend in Siesta Key for a friend's 30th. She and her husband had booked the Bay Breeze house at Banana Bay Club, Waterside Villages, for a group of us. The house sits on the Heron Lagoon and next to the community pool. There are kayaks and canoes available for guests as well as a dock with chaise lounges over the water. Bay Breeze is somewhat outdated and worn, but it's a vacation rental so you can't expect perfection. The hubs and I slept on the pull-out couch, which was not particularly comfortable. The house itself sleeps 8 comfortably and has a stocked kitchen with utensils and cooking- and baking-ware. You will need to bring your own beach towels. Next time we stay in Siesta Key, I'm going to look for other lodging options. http://www.bananabayclub.com/
We ate dinner at the Boatyard Waterfront Bar & Grill and sat in the inside patio area. The band was located near us, and it was so loud that the group of 10 couldn't hear ourselves speaking. When the band was on break, we could carry on a conversation. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was great - right on the water, indoor and outdoor seating available. The prices were to be expected for a touristy area, but $3.25 for a fountain drink seemed a little high to me. The food was only so-so. So, in summary, great location, not-so-great food.
Siesta Key is a relaxing little town with powdery white beaches. Very laid-back and beautiful island.
