House of the Sun

This place has really gone down hill. It’s turned into a roach motel compared to what it used to be. My family has been coming here since the 90’s and this place is a joke compared to what it used to be. The manager is rude and the rooms are dirty and constantly having things broken in them. The hallway has black mold and severe damage and none of this was disclosed to us when we booked. I am severely disappointed and we will not be back to this dump!

We love unit 512GF! The updates the new owner did has made this condo even more amazing . The beach view from patio is awesome ! The only thing I would recommend is a new mattress and curtains in master suite ! We book our summer weeks vacation in this condo every year !! Love it !!

We love House of the Sun! We have been staying at House of the Sun for over 10 years. Be patient with all of Sursta Key as the area is still repairing and renovating after the hurricanes last year. Siesta Key is still the best!!!!

Before I get into the bad parts of my stay I’ll start with the great stuff. House of the Sun is nicely situated on the best beach in Florida. The room is spacious and sleeps plenty with a decent view of the water depending on your unit. Now the bad: one elevator out of two for the whole building was closed for remodel, and the other elevator was down twice during our stay, this is especially serious considering we were on the fifth floor. The room’s washing machine was moldy and musty, the dryer didn’t dry. The smart tv couldn’t connect to the Internet, the room had a bunch of little ants everywhere. The hallways were being updated so they were all patchy and it looked unfinished and unprofessional. Out of our week stay I only saw two people once working on the hallway, so it looks like it’ll be looking rough for a while. I’m sorry I can’t recommend this place anymore, which is a shame because my family has been coming here since 1994. I hope they make some major changes soon, because I really loved House of the Sun.

House of Sun Friends, Thanks for another awesome 9 day stay! Your hospitality was truly appreciated. Happy Holidays! The Croswell's

We have stayed at HOS for many years and it has worked out well for us. The location is great being right on the beach and within a short walk to several restaurants, bars, and other amenities. The grounds look great after the renovations that were done after the hurricane. During our visit they were just starting to replace the hallway carpeting. We also appreciate the beach attendants being so accommodating. Several nearby resorts take up the chairs and umbrellas at 4:00 but HOS doesn't do that. However, we are one and done with Unit #411. Although the view is great the furniture was very uncomfortable to the point of being unusable. We'll be back but in a different unit.

Stayed in 315 and loved the new decorations and furniture. Beautiful spot over the beach and pool. The staff is really making the HoS a top SK property and I recommend it highly. Easy walks to great restaurants and nightlife. Best beach in the country.

Second year in a row and we are booking again next year. Even with the red tide we were able to enjoy the beach and cool off at the pool.4th of July was definitely the busiest I've ever seen a beach but I never felt too crowded and the fireworks that night are something I'll never forget .... affordable, not run down, and family friendly. Great for a beach vacation $$$$

Love it! Such a beautiful spot on the beach! The pool is so nice to have by the beach as well. Everyone there was very friendly.

Great place to stay while at Siesta Key, very close to shops, grocery store and restaurant. A bit of a rocky start, our unit air condition wasn't working, but they got it up within an hour and a half. Very clean unit and well stocked with a necessity for a few day. Beach was wonderful and the view was exceptional. Went to the top almost everyday to watch the sunset. I have been coming here for over 20+ years.

After having a reservation canceled by a different community due to hurricane damage, we found House of The Sun for our Thanksgiving family vacation and boy are we glad we did! This was an amazing property and our condo, unit 502, was perfect for our family of 4! It was incredibly clean and well appointed. The property was clearly making it a priority to get things back in order following the devastating hurricanes, and they did a great job. There were minor annoyances, but all due to the hurricane recovery (construction work, one elevator inoperable, no outdoor grill area) and not anything I can fault the property for. We will be staying here again and I can't wait to get another vacation on the books!

Our unit was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. We couldn't use the pool or other facilities due to the recent hurricanes. They were repairing all of the damage still. The office staff was very nice. Thank you!

compared to the many other units we've stayed in this was was very outdated. claran as usual but out of style. with all the there's available we will probably stay in anther unit. Thought countertops in the kitchen are dated from the 70s! the blue s and yellow tile in the showers are a bit outd as well.

Sadly after 20+ years of coming here with my family and friends, I have to air grievances on our most recent trip that was a major disappointment and unfortunately will be forcing us to stay elsewhere going forward. The fact that the rates to even rent the units have skyrocketed is just disheartening, but also the quality of the property does not reflect the prices. The unit floors and patio were filthy, to where the soles of your feet would be black your entire stay. The sheets and towels were scarce and low quality. The hallways were not as clean and vacuumed, the upkeep is not where it used to be once... just feel like no one cares and you get by with the bare minimum. You're now nickel and dimed on practically everything for the beach - from beach chair rentals, wagons, umbrellas, etc. ... while I get it may be about business, it's not about family anymore. Suprised you wouldn't even let another guest parking pass be issued when asked (there's another chunk of money you could have asked for... just a thought.) The building was not even at capacity, which was a first for us to see. But now, not surprising. It's ridiculous and frustrating and frankly unnecessary... because as someone who has been coming there my entire life, along with relatives you have come even longer before me, it never used to be like this. So after all these years, and coming to the place my beloved grandparents used to call as their second home, we will be going elsewhere from now on... shame on you.

Have stayed here many times over the years and just finished another great stay. We were fortunate to have a great unit which always helps, but was really struck by how well the staff, (office and maintenance) make this a special place. Our unit was great, but the halls, stairs, garage, pool, tennis courts, beach areas etc are really kept up nicely. As I drank my morning coffee, I watched the maintenance team each morning complete their routine, to clean the sand that might have blown or been tracked onto the deck. Readjust the chairs etc. Place is really kept up well. The office team was really helpful as well. I have stayed in many of the condos along this beach over the years and would recommend this one over all.

First, high marks for location. can't beat this spot. On site staff also gets a thumbs-up. Unfortunately, everything drops off steeply from there. The unit had dried dental floss stuck to the bathroom floor, one roll of toilet paper per bath (for a 10-day stay), no amenities (dish towels, salt/pepper, dish soap), and multiple outlets do not work. The final straw was when the electric water heater shorted out and caught fire! Used the extinguisher that was (thankfully) provided and called 911. House of the Sun provided a trivial discount for the "inconvenience" but the situation was not met with the gravity of the event. Everyone in our party commented on how the quality and service have declined over the years. Probably our 6th stay at the House of the Sun and possibly our last.

Apartment 403 was unbelievable. It had the most unique Beach Theme decor and detail I've ever seen. Even when indoors here you still felt like you'd never left the beach! ( The pictures will explain.) Modern, cozy and a balcony with with a side view of the beach. Not big and impersonal and yet clean and modern. No fighting the crowds to find a spot on the beach. A deck overlooking the beach to celebrate the breathtaking sunsets along with a short drive to quaint bars and restaurants. And, of course, the incredible beach! Powder fine sand and deep blue water that is one-of-a-kind in the entire country. The House of the Sun and Apt 403 is a winning combination!

My family recently stayed at the House of the Sun in Siesta Key, Florida in a 2 bedroom condo for a week. The room was clean and the ocean view off the patio was fantastic. You get your own private beach access (with chairs provided) and pool. My two complaints were that (1) getting sleep on my vacation was challenging. We had 5 adults in our condo to be slept on a king, two twins and a sofa sleeper. I'm not sure if the kind bed was comfortable or not but I can testify to the twin bed being difficult to get comfortable on and my brother slept with the sofa pulled out as a bed only one night out of the 6 (he just slept on the regular couch the rest of the time). And (2) the building needs to be sound-proofed. We could hear furniture being moved around on other floors, conversations from the kitchen/vents when in the bedrooms trying to sleep, etc. So good thing there was the beach to nap on during the day, I guess. Although, I do feel like I need a massage now that I'm home. Overall, a nice place to stay.

Nice/clean condos. Pool closes too early at night. We've stayed here the last 3 years and have yet to have any bad experiences. Well worth your money.

Wish I never had to leave! Visiting from Naples on a Christmas stay-cay and I'm in love! Basically every room has a view of the ocean due to the architecture and there's a pool and a beach area with chairs and lounges. Best part is there's bars everywhere!

Was here many years ago and it seems to have been updated since. Still a great location with the added bonus of a pool overlooking the Gulf.

403 is The Most Wonderful Condominium in House of the Sun!!!! You will find everything that you need to feel absolutely at home!!! The view from the balcony is breathtaking! The ambiance in this unit will help you find peace, relaxation and harmony! My family and I agree that Unit 403 is the #1 place to stay in Siesta Key!!!!!

Nice condos overall. All of the condos are angled to have ocean views, we stayed at the furtherest back from the ocean and could still see part of the waves. Check in process is easy and staff is very helpful. We found that these condos are cheaper to rent than others in the area and if you are looking to just hang at the beach, it is perfect. Could use more beach chairs for the facility and condo was a tad outdated but clean and spacious! Would definitely stay here again, great location for the price!

Great Condo! We've been going here for years now. Right across the street from restraints and located on the most beautiful and quiet beaches there is. Love it!

We have had a great vacation each time we have stayed here. Condos are spacious and clean, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Beach is beautiful, pool is nice. The only issue we have encountered is some inconsiderate groups who claim over a dozen beach chairs and then never use them later, and a group of elementary school boys CONSTANTLY running through the hallways playing Nerf war. I wish that there was a way to have that stopped because it is very loud and disruptive.

My family and I have been there several times - loved it! But will never go back - had a condo booked called to see if we could re-schedule do to an illness in the family, very accommodating and agreed to let us re-book. They never mentioned a time frame re-schedule. They sent an email late Friday afternoon asking me if I was going to re-book. Unfortunately, I was at the hospital with my father who passed away that Saturday morning. I had not gotten the email until that Thursday, after my father's funeral. They claim nothing they could do for me, they paid the owner and sent me $300 back. This was a much need vacation that we will take elsewhere.
