What was shown in the hotels.com listing was not updated and was not accurate. Nowhere on the property is there laundry. Not in the rooms or anywhere on the property. In fact it has been years since they had any laundry facilities I was informed. I had to ask because there are several pictures of a laundry room in certain rooms and in the general property. They blamed it on hotels.com stating it wasn't their real page and they hadnt authorized those images. The bed was completely sunken in in the master and impossible to sleep in. Bring soap and shampoo because you only get two very tiny shampoo tubes and a bar of soap upon checking in unless you order more for the next day. Towels are limited, and there is no front desk to visit if you need something. You have to text or send a message and wait. Check in is via code that you scan and you get assigned a room after waiting a while. I do have to say that the rooms were clean and so was the property and the pool area. The beach is also right there. They are very firm on the no changes or cancelations one week prior even if images dont match on website. Prices also fluctuated a lot and went from very high to being reduced drastically during the same week. For the price I wouldn't say it was worth it.

Leaving a very honest review for people looking to book here. After reading all of these reviews I was very excited for our stay. We were placed in a 3 bedroom ground level unit to fit 7 people. 5 adults,7 year old and a 10 month old. We stayed 6 nights/7 days.
Positives: The location was great proximity to the beach! The pool was great to use and kept pretty clean. Had lots of chairs to relax and chill on. Kitchen had pretty much everything needed.
Negatives:
The cleanliness was just not there. Spider webs all over the light fixtures. Hair and dust on the baseboards and very dusty ceiling fans. Crumbs and dirt on the rug and floors. Very damp environment down there. The floors are warped and popping up so you had to watch out for that. No fans in the bathrooms that had showers. We had to ask for a broom and vacuum for the rug and floor before we could sit baby down on it comfortably. No pool or towel replacements for our stay. They would only replace bath towels every 3 days.
Our last two days of our stay we found alive cockroaches each day in the dining/kitchen area. Which I know Florida has bugs but that was very unsettling. I contacted manager and she did have her pestcontrol come after we left.Place needs more TLC than it’s getting after each guest and during one’s stay. Would not stay here again. After waiting and planning for this trip for almost a year it was a letdown for what we got. The woman who I spoke to was very nice and tried to help as much as she could.

My family and I had an amazing stay at Ringling Beach House. My husband and I brought our two toddlers and had the best time. The check in was organized and easy, the apartment was clean, it was a 2 minute walk to the beach as well as all of the attractions in Siesta Key! The pool was also beautiful and so warm. The staff were easy to reach, personable, and professional. This is an ideal place for families and couples to stay. We will definitely be coming back for more stays in the future. Thank you!

I don't know where to start because everything was so great! The staff was professional and very helpful, the room was clean and had all the amenities we could have asked for. Most importantly though, this location is literally a small walk away from the beach which makes it ever more awesome to stay at! It also is away from where all the bars and partying happens on the weekends so it stays relatively quiet on this side. Excellent place for families or couples looking for a quiet but fun vacation!

We stayed in the villa and had a wonderful experience. While there were only four of us, it’s truly ideal for a larger family, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The private pool and backyard were fantastic and made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect, close to both the beach and downtown. We’re already looking forward to returning with more family members!

Location excellent! Cross the street and beach entrance is there. The unit on the other hand needs some TLC. Laminate floor lifting, I kept telling my kids to be careful so they wouldn’t get hurt. It definitely needs to get replaced!! Our bed frame wasn’t built all the way, on the second night after an uncomfortable 1st night of feeling like we were sinking, my husband decided to look under the mattress the support beams were left half built. He built it for them!!! Also we booked a two bedroom unit with a sofa bed and the unit didn’t have the sofa bed. We made the best of it and enjoyed our time in Sarasota.

The ringling house was a great location. Our unit was recently renovated and very nice. The beds were comfortable. It was a great proximity to the beach and the village. The staff was helpful and came right to us when we called about beach chairs. Susan was great and checked in often and was quick to respond. We did need to go to a dollar store and buy toilet paper, tissues and a couple household items that we left for the unit because it wasn’t there. Also, it’s helpful to know that though they have beach chairs, wagons and umbrellas available, you do have to rent them. It is not included.

Overall we would definitely recommend The Ringling House again.

We will be back and that should tell you something! The room was clean and modern with plenty of space for a small family or couple get away! Full kitchen is a huge plus, spacious bathroom, comfy king size bed in the master! I can’t recommend it enough, this will be my recommendation to anyone talking about vacation for the foreseeable future!

Overall wonderful little cottage in walking distance to the beach. I timed it and it’s five minutes from door to beach! Well appointed with dishes, ironing board, coffee maker etc. Our unit (dancing bear) faced the street so there was some noise but nothing disruptive. Had some issues with the AC and internet but staff was responsive and issues remedied quickly. The unit could use a deep clean-dust on doors, fans, vents but overall in good condition. Be aware that each person is allowed one towel every three days-however we were able to secure extra ones eventually. The beach supplies are first come, first serve so we initially didn’t have chairs but once again, staff worked to remedy the situation. Supplies are old but in working condition-wagons rusting and squeaky, chairs torn, but no big deal. They met our needs-it’s all you need for the beach. Never used the pool but it looked welcoming and clean. Smart TV is a nice touch. The Ringling beach house met our needs and was comfortable with a great location!!! We walked everywhere.

Served its purpose. Super close walk to the beach. Living room only had seating for 5. Our 6th had to sit at the kitchen table in the living room area. Also parking may be an issue on the weekends as they let beach goers park in the already small lot for a fee. We were told we could park in the back of the building which would be a block and half walk. Pool was clean when we got there but water quickly turned cloudy for most of our stay. Did appreciate the wagons and beach items (umbrella , chairs etc) that we were able to use. Apt was clean. No vents/fans in the bathrooms. Also close to downtown area.

Amazing!

We stayed at Seal apartment. It has two rooms; a full kitchen and it looks to the pool. The exterior has kept the colonial/Spanish architecture, but the interiors are fully renovated and new. The air-conditioning is silent (which is something not always you encounter). It's very close to entrance 8 and 9 to the beach, literally you just crossed the street. The hotel has beach chairs and umbrellas, which is a plus. It is also very close to the Siesta Key downtown, which is a beautiful beach town, with restaurants and shops. We loved staying here.

The whole place smells of mold. The sheets had bed bugs and were not in a clean condition.
We were celebrating my wife’s birthday with our moms, and we felt discriminated and very uncomfortable as one of the site employees came to the space and questioned why we had dogs and that we had to pay extra for each one of them, even though they’re service animals for clinical and psychiatric care. The space doesn’t look at all like the pictures. Very very disappointing and uncomfortable. Wouldn’t come back even if it was free

We very much enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and ready for us early. Nancy, the manager, couldn’t have been nicer. This is a no-frills place—but the location can’t be beat! You walk across the street to the beach, and the lively shopping area with restaurants and fun is so close. It’s a quick walk, or you can take the free trolleys/busses. The outdoor area with a nice pool was so relaxing. We used it often. We would stay again. We had 3 teens with us, and they had a blast. We all felt safe. We feel the Ringling Beach House is such a value—to be in such a prime spot in Siesta Keys!

Property manager unresponsive to immediate and subsequent calls from Expedia who failed to fulfill 2 previous reservations at other reputable properties notifying me months after reservation confirmations with one being over 2 months after confirming and the other approximately a month after confirming the 2nd less than a week prior to arrival date. Totally not as advertised. Stairs dangerous. Office and room first floor appeared abandoned and in disarray.

Not a hotel and not on the beach

The property is not beach front. We had 2 bath towels for a 3 day, 2 night stay. A small pot serving of coffee for 1 morning was provided. There was an unidentifiable terrible smell upon arrival, that seemed to clear when all windows were opened until bedtime. If you check in after 4:30, the office is closed and you’ll need to find out where to park. Our unit was up 2 flights of wooden stairs and that wasn’t mentioned beforehand.

Cute no frills!

Great location. Updated unit which was very clean and comfortable. I did not realize I had to bring my own toilet paper, so we had to make a trip to the store after settling in. There is not 1 hook or rack to hang a wet towel or bathing suit. 3 bath towels given for 3 people so they needed to be hung to be re-used for a few days. There was no bath mat or extra towel to put down on the floor for getting out of the shower. There was no place to put luggage on other than the floor. Wifi barely existed. Pool area was very cute and clean.

Was a nice stay

Was only there for one night but it was comfortable and decent. The property was under construction at the time so it was a bit of a mess around the outside. The inside was not the cleanest I have ever seen but it was not too bad.

Not good!

The communication with manager was good but the apartment smelled of bad dog odor, especially the couch we got many flea bites. Also, the pool was cloudy and people swimming all hours of the night.

Steps to the beach, needs major cleaning overhaul

Location is fantastic and Roberto was truly helpful, kind and welcoming. The unit however is in need of deep detailing. Sheets were stained. My pillow sheet was stained with blood that had turned brown. The pull out sofa in living room was unhygienic. When we pulled out the sofa to convert it to a bed, I immediately regretted having done that and placing kids to sleep on there due to the amount of vomit/dried up liquid… who knows what it was but it was rough to look at. The most uncomfortable part of the stay was the lack of cleanliness. We made do and the place itself isn’t bad however I sadly would not return to this location.

We enjoyed our stay. Two bedrooms, a little kitchen and a small living area. Easy to walk to restaurants, grocery, beach, etc
The unit we stayed in needs some maintenance. Both bedroom doors were hanging off the top hinge. We used a knife and tightened the screws but they fell out again before our stay was over. One towel was not clean (it was gross). The ice cube trays in the fridge are all broken so it leaks out water into the bottom of the freezer. If they do some regular maintenance it's a great place to stay. The pool is great.

The property was very clean and spacious for our big family. Roberto greeted us upon our arrival and showed us around the property. He was always around and available for answering any questions. The property was such a short walk to the beach and even a short walk to the nearby restaurants. It was a great location for morning walks and walking to one of the best coffee shops around. The location was great, the property itself and Roberto was great. Would definitely book again!

At first it was upset cause they moved me from the original location. But the landlord was accommodating and gave us a bigger place right by all the restaurants and shops in Sarasota. Landlord was a bit unorthodox but overall a good guy. We had a blast !!

Great Location, but Wouldn't Return

TL;DR: As a family with young children, I would not go back to this place. But if I was still in my 20s and looking for a place to crash with friends, I would, for the right price.

Location is the best thing about this place. It's across the street from Beach Access #9. It's close enough to the village (restaurants and shops) to walk, although we drove.

Amenities were good. Love the pool and nice to have carts & gear to take to the beach.

Cleanliness was the biggest issue. The floors were really dirty with food crumbs, hairs, visible wrappers behind furniture etc. Thankfully Roberto was extremely quick to reply & cleaned the floor right away. But still, when paying the amount I did for 3 nights, I expect clean floors.

Bed Comfort: Purely subjective, but the beds were awful. Extremely firm mattress. A foam topper would be nice.

Shower: The shower is remodeled and was very clean. But the shower head was infuriatingly bad. The water pressure is extremely slow in the shower. It takes forever to wash long hair. I had to fill little cups of water and use that to wash off my hair. It's also a chore to get sandy little kids showered with this sparse and slow flow.

Overall Maintenance: The place looks like it was recently remodeled, but not frequently maintained. Examples: Broken outlet plate within toddlers reach, very dirty air filter, nasty dishwasher filter, window locks broken, faulty deadbolt, stinky smell coming from the fridge exhaust.

Property was heavily misrepresented by online photos. Place was disgusting, filthy, and smelt horrible. We arrived to dirty/ stained sheets as well as heavily stained mattress protectors. Once we retrieved replacement sheets ourselves, we realized the mattresses were stained even worse. We were offered a minimal cleaning fee refund from the owner. Wouldn't recommend to anyone or there families. If there was availability at other rentals I would have Paid double To take my family elsewhere.

I love this place!! I just stayed at the room for 12 with my friends and it was so much fun. The property manager was so nice and helpful. The place was super cute and it had a small but nice pool with an amazing black stone grill that we used for a barbecue one day. The beach was literally across the street and wasn’t too bad of a walk to town. I will be coming back for sure!

Outstanding Place

Lana chose the Ringling Beach House for the location and the reviews. Wow! What a wonderful place. Roberto welcomed us as we were getting out of the car. Super nice guy. Gracie Mille!! Located across the street from public access to the #1 beach in America! Perfect! He even has a wagon for each condo with chairs and umbrella. The condo was amazing. The Clown condo was spacious and clean, no issues. Full kitchen with everything you need is a plus, even a great ice maker. If you want to sit in the beach house pool after a hot day at the beach, you and the kids will enjoy it. Nice! Night life at the Village was a good time. 10 min walk to the right as you leave the beach house. 10 minutes to the left, you can enjoy a large drum group on Sunday evenings. Highly recommend!
