Small, well-maintained beach hotel with old Florida style
The Sea Spray Resort on Siesta Key has old Florida style and is surrounded by well-maintained grounds full of flowers, trees, shrubs, and lion’s head fountains. A small lobby continues the tropical feel with a bamboo front desk and white walls with beach-style artwork. Guests here are primarily vacationers and while it's suitable for all kinds of guests -- from families to senior travelers -- those with compromised mobility should request a ground-floor room as there are no elevators.

A short walk to Siesta Beach; many sites less than a 15-minute drive away

Condo-style rooms with fully equipped kitchens and patios

Living rooms have soft floral sofa beds and wood chairs, while large windows keep the spaces bright. Most kitchens are fully equipped with stainless steel appliances including dishwashers, microwaves, full-size refrigerators, ranges, toasters, and coffeemakers, but some lack ovens. Bathrooms are plain but updated, with tan tile floors, white walls, and walk-in showers. Templespa toiletries are provided.
