Sea Shell Condominium

Went in October. To bad we had so many issues. First, no one mentioned in any reviews that the property runs right next to a public beach access. There were about 12 parking spots there. So many cars doors opening and closing early and late at night along with the beeping of car doors being locked. One night I woke to someone actually whistling at midnight. Next, major renovation of the balcony floors at the SeaShell and guess where, the room right next door. We asked to move! They did move us and the new unit on the 3^rd floor too was closer to the beach and away from the parking noise issue. Pain to move food and all our stuff. Unfortunately, I woke the next morning to some noise in the kitchen… my daughters and husband killing ants all over the counter! At this point, we thought the office staff are going to think we are crazy, but unfortunately this really was our vacation. Location was fine, beach was okay although it could have been cleaner. Fell in love with the village and would look closer there next time!

The condo we rented was spacious and had some remodeling. The kitchen was adequately stocked with pots/​pans/​utensils/​etc. Rate was reasonable, front desk staff were very nice. Our condo didn’t really have much of a view… only if you sat at the far corner of the patio could you catch a glimpse of the ocean. There was a bit of traffic noise especially in the morning that was annoying… nothing like being woken up by car horns honking. All in all this was not a bad spot. But there are definitely better spots if an ocean view and a little more peaceful getaway is what you are really looking for.

We stayed here last June 2015 for 4 days and 3 nights. Each unit is privately owned and we were able to book a condo unit thru a different website. Each unit I assume is furnished by the owner, the unit that we rented out has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, appliances, bath towels (you have to bring your own beach towel), utensils (no condiments though) and we have our own WiFi. It is like being in your own house, that’s how cozy our unit was! The only thing missing in the unit is a washer & dryer but the each floor has these by the elevator/​stairs area. If you want to do your laundry you to have to get out of your unit. The condo also has a small pool by the entrance and you can park your car inside the building. It would take like 2−3mins of a walk from our unit to get to the beach. We can see the beach from our balcony, watch the sunset and just sit there while drinking beer. The condo also offers lounge chairs that you can bring to the beach and a BBQ grill too which you need to check at the front desk if there are no owners/​renters that will use it. There’s a restaurant, a small grocery store and other rental stores across the condo. St. Armands Circle is like 20−30mins drive from the condo.
Overall the accommodations was great, the building is safe & secure, the price of the unit is reasonable and the location was fantastic. I would highly recommend Sea Shell condo!

These vacation rental units are really nice. While I didn’t actually spend the night, I was checking into different options for friends and family.
Each 2 bedroom 2 bathroom unit is individually owned and furnished. You can actually see pictures of each unit right here —
They have a great beach front property where sunsets are endless. Sea Shell Condo’s are located on Crescent Beach, Siesta Key. This is probably the perfect place for a wedding as well.
Prices are on the high end, figure about $ 200 per night + tax. Beach front view will run you $ 200 — $ 300 per night + tax —
I guess it comes down to your standards and how much you want to spend. These look worth the price to me for sure! Great for 4 people. They have a nice pool too!
The nice thing is the location, right across the street from Captain Curt’s. Also Stickney Pointe Rd is almost right across the street. For those staying during holiday weekends like July 4^th, you won’t to wait in that Siesta Key Beach traffic. This alone is worth staying at Sea Shell. Make a right to go across the bridge, when coming back stay in the left hand lane and avoid the traffic.

Awesome place!!! Great atmosphere and family oriented! We stay here every year… well worth it!!!

Excellent accomodations at reasonable rates. The condos here are privately owned and the management books them when the owners aren’t using them. They’re furnished by the owner, so each one is unique. Use their website to find one that looks nice. We had a beautiful condo in which to stay. It was very nicely furnished, featured a balcony with views of the Gulf, and was nearly as comfortable as home. The complex has gated, covered, assigned parking, and is located on beautiful Crescent Beach with locked gate access. Also, the place is convenient to shopping, food, nightlife, and the Stickney Point drawbridge to the mainland– an outstanding location. I would definitely recommend Sea Shell to anyone looking to stay in the area.
