Gumbo Limbo Vacation

GUMBO LIMBO is the nicest vacation spot I have ever been to. The location is perfect - - right across the street from the most beautiful beach in the country and a short walk to the cute little village with plentiful fun spots for eating and drinking. (I especially liked the SIESTA KEY OYSTER BAR). also, great shops for visitors shopping needs. The accomodations were just as advertised (if not better). Very attractively decorated - spotless - plenty of towels and everything we needed. We also enjoyed the great little swimming pool surrounded with lush greenery. I will cherish the memory of my vacation at GUMBO LIMBO and hope to return many times.

This was the perfect and most relaxing vacation I have needed for so long, especially with the winters we have in NY. A very tropical and laid-back property, almost like being in Hawaii. The accommodations were a very nice taste of old Florida, I could have been Hemmingway writing a novel at a quaint bungalow in Key West, but the prices here are the best I have found anywhere. Too good to pass up, and I am so glad I didn't. The pool is gorgeous, you could almost fall over and be on the beach (ok, one hop and one skip, and then fall on the glorious sand). It has been reported, and I can verify that the sand on Siesta Beach is some of the finest in the world. Siesta village is just a short walk. The owner was extremely friendly and courteous.

So much comes with the room; bicycles, beach chairs, TV (but who needs that when you're in a paradise like this?), toys and ammenities for the kids.

They even had a wildlife rescue guy come and save an injured pelican on the beach faster than any ambulance I've seen in NY.

My new home away from home. I want to move there.

My girlfriend and I recently spent a week at GUMBO LIMBO, Siesta Key. We stayed in one of the cozy condos. It was wonderful. The rooms were really clean and the decor was very bright and pretty with a german flare. It's one of the prettiest beaches on the west coast of Florida. A paradise! And the pool was fabulous. If you're looking for a nice, quiet, relaxing vacation this is the place for you! I highly recommend this place. You can sit out back in the evenings or walk/enjoy the beach. Very romantic.

Gumbo Limbo was horrifically disgusting. Thought I was paying for a condo. Instead I got more like a nightmare motel room. Roaches, ants, window air condition unit with multiple rooms, umbrella and chairs were cheap. Bed had a ton of pubic hairs and dead flies in the sheets. Bathroom was moldy and needed maintenance. Overall the place was a dump. When addressed the poor quality with the owner, I was given the you cannot "prove" it attitude. Would strongly not recommend this as a rental when visiting Siesta Key Florida.
