Beachpoint Resort Cottages

Booked this last minute since we were coming in town for a beach volleyball tournament. Management was super helpful with
booking and responding for reservation. Left the light on at night for us as we came in late; easy entry and so friendly.
Love the garden, and a short walk to beach for beautiful sunsets! 1 block as well to grocery, coffee, restaurants and ice cream.
Kids beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and bikes to borrow if you can’t tow it all with you.
Will come again and will recommend to friends!

As my husband and I along with our two children were driving up the coast, we called to see if anything was available for a couple of nights. We were given a fantastic cabin with kitchenette, two bedrooms, one bathroom and a murphy bed. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and clean. Beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys and carts are available to take to the beautiful beach across the street. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the patios and decks surrounded by some quirky art. The kids enjoyed feeding the fish and turtles in the koi pond, chasing the lizards and sitting on the swinging bench. Already visualizing hosting a family reunion and renting multiple cabins.

I Love Siesta Key, I met my husband in Siesta Key AT this resort on memorial weekend two years ago. We will spend MANY summers in siesta key and, hopefully, move to Siesta Key/​Sarasota in the future (that’s how much we love it!) However, I will NEVER set foot or spend a penny at this «resort» HA! again! Since my husband and I met at BeachPointe and share memories there we decided to have our wedding reception at the hotel, we stayed at the hotel and rented out to friends/​family 5 of the 8 cottages, thanks to some fantastic friends, the reception was beautiful, however the experience I had, as the BRIDE, on the following day was the absolute WORST experience of my life!!! AND the hotel management made it 100 times worse! To put into words the story, for me, is horrifying! Apparently, someone actually defecated on property, the management blamed it on someone at our reception party, because there happened to have been a cup from our party a couple of feet away from the mess. Understand, our party consisted of professionals in the 35+ age range and was over by 10pm. My family & some friends, helped to clean up a bit a little after the party ended, considering that it was still fairly early. No one saw the mess on the property so the occurrence had to have taken place later in the evening, and NOT by someone at our party! However, the following morning management found ‘the mess” INSISTED that it was someone from our party and FURTHER INSISTED me (THE BRIDE) and my mother clean it up! UNBELIEVABLE!!! PLEASE avoid this property at all costs, Siesta Key is absolutely gorgeous and delightful, but there are SO many other places you can stay.

I went here for a wedding reception, and the management was absolutely horrible to the wedding couple and guests. The worst thing that happened (in a list of bad things) was when the manager blindsided the bride the morning after the wedding and accused her guests of breaking things (that were not actually broken) and actually defecating in one of the public places on the property. Yes, you read that correctly… someone defecated on the property in the middle of the night, and the manager automatically placed the blame on the wedding party — even though the reception ended at 10pm, no one got intoxicated at the reception, and all of the guests are in their late 30’s or older, with careers, families, and some level of adult maturity. When the party ended at 10 pm, the bride’s mother and family actually cleaned up after the party (something they did not have to do, as it was contracted in the price of having the party at this so-​called «resort»). And no one saw any evidence of human feces. So the «incident» happened in the middle of the night, most likely by a drunk kid who was walking past (or staying in) the resort. There is no gate or fence around the property, so anyone can walk into the community spaces at any time, day or night.
As I type this, I am still blown away by the way this was handled by the Beach point management. I understand the shock of finding something like that on your property. But to automatically place blame on a group of middle-​aged, adult professionals who were long gone by the time that happened is mind-​boggling to me. It’s not like we were a group of drug addict bikers (no offense to drug addict bikers, who probably know better than to stay in this dump). If I wasn’t just a guest at this party, I would sue this property. But all I can offer is to relate my horror at hearing what happened to the bride (the morning after her wedding) and the hotel manager. Oh, did I mention that the manager made her clean it up? Yep, he did. I asked her «why in the HELL she agreed to clean it up», to which she replied that she felt so blindsided and horrified, that she couldn’t think straight and just wanted the manager to stop yelling at her.
AVOID this terrible property! Sleep on the street before staying here!

My husband, myself, and my toddlers stayed at this property from Aug 6 – 9, we stayed in cottage 6. I have to say I LOVED this property, its cozy, clean, welcoming, and steps from the beach. The manager was extremely accomodating given that I made the reservations the night before check in. He was excellent!!! The property is clean, they provide you with all essentials needed for a vacation, beach chairs, beach toys, and umbrellas if needed. The cottage had a full kitchen with all the essentials, plates, cups, utensils, etc. I would say that the only draw back was that they do not have a pool, just about the right excuse to spend the entire day enjoying ourselves on the beach. Sunrise and Sunsets in Siesta Key are a MUST!!!

This place is amazing, it is a beautiful setup and such a nice environment. The place is great for a wedding, since all of the cottages are close together. The resort is also directly across from the beach which is amazing, the beach has an awesome lagoon that is perfect at high tide for using the free to borrow skim boards. The resort is also less than a mile from Sarasota Village, which is full of awesome restaurants and a really good diner. The rooms are huge and are setup very nicely. This is truly a unique resort, that is one of Sarasota’s best kept secrets.

My boyfriend and I had a really great experience here. We got Cottage 4, which I was a little nervous about because of the murphy bed (I definitely did not want to sleep on a thin murphy bed mattress). We were really pleasantly surprised. The place has a lot of character and is very old Florida. Cottage 4 doesn’t seem to be the most luxurious cottage (some of the others seemed to be a little more updated), but it turned out to be very comfortable, very clean, and everything we needed to enjoy Siesta Key. In particular, the mattress was really comfortable and great to sleep on. The bathroom was a little small but seemed to be pretty recently renovated. A great part about Cottage 4 is the beach view — you can see the ocean from the porch, which was really nice.
The grounds and staff were excellent. The place has a lot of character, and the gardens were fun to explore and hang out in. Beachpoint Resort provides you with everything you might need to enjoy the beach — umbrellas, chairs, etc. When our first umbrella didn’t work, a staff member helped me pick out a sturdier umbrella and gave me the tool to dig a better hold. He was extremely friendly and helpful. The price of our room ($ 139 off season) seemed to be really good compared to other hotels in the area that are that close to the beach. The cleaning fee did seem a little silly to me (why wouldn’t that just be included in the price?), but that would probably be one of my only complaints.
Extremely close to the beach to the village, so we could walk everywhere, which was wonderful. I will definitely be staying here again, and I would definitely recommend it.

Great location and customer service. Highly recommend it. Planning on coming back next year!
