Harbor Towers

We have stayed here 2 years in a row for over 2 weeks each time. I am so pleased with this experience. Each condo can vary depending on what the owner does for upgrades. I haven’t had any complaints yet. Very impressive and of course I’ll be back next year.

My wife and I just spent 16 days in Harbor Towers #414. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The condo was nice and the owner even sent us a new blender when the other one didn’t work. 414 is perfect for two people, and we loved the lanai, although it never got the sun.
Harbor Towers as a whole is excellent. The staff and the residents were all very welcoming and helpful. The pool area is beautiful, albeit a little small for a building of this size. We especially liked sitting in the bayside area - quieter and more peaceful, especially in the afternoon.
Our main concern is that even though it advertises easy access to the beach ( and the picture of the property is a bit misleading), it is not convenient to get to the public beach. All the properties across the street are private, so you have to walk quite a ways to a public beach, or try and park in the massive public parking lots. The main draw of going to Siesta Key is the beach ( and certainly not the traffic gridlock).
Our other main obstacle to returning is the upcoming two year project to replace the windows.
We have been in a building with such a project and it is annoying to say the least.

So, all in all, we loved our stay, and hope to return in a couple of years.

We have stayed in several rooms and all were kept up nicely, most have been recently renovated. Out front the turtles love blueberries. The intercoastal fishing is excellent and lots of chairs to lounge, read, and dolphin watch. The pool area is nice with plenty of chairs. Grounds are nicely maintained. Boat slips look roomy.

There are A LOT of stupid rules that have stopped us from buying here though. Beware of nosey naysayers!!

Nice and convenient place. So close to siesta beach which you can walk or take the trolley.
This condo building has the nice pool (which has grills and tables/ chairs for picnic and party) and good view of the marina boat docking.
Hallway is very wide and clean.
Will expect to see a lot of retirees, either living in the building or visiting.
Has parking for guests.

Wishing there were more families with children around.
