Great refresh

Casa Mahalo / Big Kahuna was just what our group needed to get away from hectic work and school scedule. Siesta key village is a laid back vibe and this house supported that. The pool here was great to come back to after several hrs at the beach. On our last day there, maintenance came to clean up some of the foliage around the pool which was needed because the pool area was slightly too shaded and felt like it increased mosquito activity. House was clean upon arrival, though there were baby ants on the counters when no food was out. Management was very responsive and left kid/pet safe ant spray and liquid ant traps to help us out. Can't say enough about how responsive the management team was (via text and phone) to responding to qurstions we had, even sending someone over the holday weekend, to fix the elevator. Would definitely stay here again given the mgmt. team responsiveness and the central location to the village shops and quick walk to the beach.

Almost perfect

I would rate this as a 4.8 if it were an option...The location is PERFECT, behind the main drag with all of the shops and restaurants and one block to beach access. The extras- heated pool, 4 bikes, beach chairs w/wagon to haul everything, W/D, ping pong table, were in good shape and greatly appreciated. That being said, we had several not so minor problems, all of which were handled promptly after notifying the management company. The keyless entry system worked fine on all but the door to get into the unit, fortunately we were able to get in via the elevator! It would have been easy to reprogram it remotely as soon as we spoke with them, but they opted to send a maintenance worker out the next day. When we attempted to use the bikes, we had to have them return to fix all of the seats and handlebars because they were dangerously loose and required tools to tighten. That was quickly resolved, as was the water dispenser in the refrigerator that stopped working on day three (the tap water in Florida is horrible). While working on that, it became apparent that the disposal had a leak, again fixed right away. Overall, it didn’t ruin our vacay, but that was a lot of things to go wrong and I believe in honest reviews and count on that when I am making a decision. I prefer refillable environmentally sustainable toiletries to the starter kits with multiple little plastic bottles in each room, and a soap dish vs leaving the wet bar on the counters to get slimy. Still recommend 100%!

We love The Village side best so we were directly behind Gilligans and the coffee shop so wonderful!

Had two great shopping days. And the food was amazing! Just crossed the street and we were in the heart of The Village and could not have been more perfect. SKOB ordered every app on menu and all amazing! The Cottage, Summer House, Bonjour breakfast, etc. Gorgeous pool! Beach close. House so big, pretty and perfect! Top floor so elevator loaded and sent the suitcases in up. Nothing bad to say! Perfect.

Girls trip

This property was perfect for our group of seven. Plenty of space, great layout and amazing location. The private pool was lovely, the only drawback being no easy bathroom access, a half bath by the pool would make it perfect. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels, etc. The market a block away is very convenient for stocking up for the week. The beach is a short walk away, everything is convenient. We’d recommend this property to others and plan on returning.

Great property in a wonderful location

This home was the perfect size. It was clean and so easy to check-in. The gourmet cupcake welcome gift was such a pleasant surprise and our son especially enjoyed them! When we had one problem with the lock, someone responded immediately and was at the house within minutes. Our favorite part of the home was the location. We were able to walk to the market, restaurants, and shops. I would defintely stay here again!

Casa Mahalo, Siesta Key

The property was superb. In particular, I wish I could give the location 6 or 7 stars. It was a two minute walk to the beach and less than that to all of the activity in Siesta Key Village, as well as the incredibly well stocked Morton's Siesta Key market. The layout of the apartment gave each couple in our group of 8 plenty of privacy as well as plenty of room to socialize and eat together. Minor in the overall scheme of things was the limited water pressure in the showers, particularly the master bath. Overall I can't recommend this property highly enough, and look forward to returning in the future.

Great Trip!!

Our adult children met us here for an adults only vacation. We loved the property and really enjoyed our own private pool. Location was great....just a short walk to the beach, the grocery/liquor store (which surprisingly had everything we needed even though it was a small store), and lots of restaurants/bars/shops. Our end of the beach was perfect....the other end was super crowded! The house had a lot of “extras”.... lawn chairs, beach umbrellas, coolers, beach cart, 4 bikes, beach towels, beach toys (enjoyed the bocce ball set), cupcakes to welcome us, and an elevator to make the trip to the 3rd floor easy especially for the suitcases and groceries....very nicely furnished!! One afternoon a couple girls from The Cottages came by to check on us...with a bottle of wine...just to make sure everything was good! Would definitely stay here again!!
