We did really love the place and we will suggest it to anyone looking.  You were right -- it was well worth the money.  
My wife especially appreciated that it was spotless when we arrived.  We discussed making it an annual trip, allowing
more time in the future.  Thanks for letting us have it for just the few days, and thanks to Kerry for bringing us the key
at 1 am.

How far in advance do you book?  Is there any advantage to booking long in advance?

Thanks,
Dan

We had a great stay at fisherman’s cove and look forward to a return trip. We have already told several family
members, and close friends about your place.
It was our 2nd vacation in the 33 years that we've been married , and  we plan to take many more.
We were impressed with the fact that we could have came with only
our clothes , as your place was so well stocked with everything one needs. We hope to bring some of the grand kids
along next time if their spring breaks coincide with our schedule.

Thanks  for the stay , I hope your brother enjoyed the beers I
left behind. He seemed to be a good guy and I was glad to have met him. Have a good summer and we will be in touch
in the spring,

Dear Davenport Family,

What a beautiful unit!  We were at Siesta Key with a number of other families from our high school in Michigan and by
far we had the nicest, cleanest place to spend the week.  The location is perfect and it was truly a delight to walk in
and discover that the online pictures did not come close to showing what a spectacular condo you have.  Thank you
for sharing.

Dear KandJ,

I was planning to write really soon about our wonderful stay at your condo on Siesta Key.  We all say that the 5 days of
our vacation was perfection........the travel, the accommodations, the food, weather, activities.........were all perfect.

The condo was so nice and clean.  Lots of room, great decor, and so pleasant.  Being so close to the beach and the
water was such a treat.  The sunshine really made me feel good after being in a building since November, in a way.  I
teach high school.

The kitchen had everything we needed.  Great!  Thank you for being so thorough. We were so pleased with
everything and intend to return next year or sooner.  And be assured that we will tell others of your great condo.

We all feel so fortunate to have found you on the internet....you were smart to get that website up.

Sincerely,

Ann D

We had a great week at Fisherman's Cove. Accommodations were great for our needs.  Aside from the two days of not
so great weather the week turned out very well.  Just the fact that we got out of New England for a week meet our
needs.  It was just nice to be warm for a change.  The view from the lanai was priceless.

Ms. Davenport,

We immensely enjoyed our visit to Siesta Key  and the stay at your condo. Everything was wonderful! The condo was
nicely  furnished and was very well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing  vacation. The location was
perfect and the views were phenomenal!! Thank you so  much for your hospitality! Not only are we planning on
returning but we plan on  recommending the condo/area to our parents. We can't wait till the next  trip!!


Thank You,

Happy New Year!? And thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo. It was really nice and a great location.
Unfortunately the weather was not so great, but we still had a beautiful view. My husband and I both agreed that we
definitely want to stay in that unit again on our next visit.

Have a great year!

We enjoyed our stay a great deal and hope to return next year.  It is
such a beautiful beach (much more of it this year), and with Casey
Key right there you can walk for miles in mostly solitude.  The
Pelicans are so fun to watch.

The condo is quite comfortable, and we ate in a lot more this year
than last.  Noticed there were new kitchen utensils etc.,
The long distance service calling free is very nice.

Again everything seemed to work well during our stay.
Talk to you later in the year.

Dear Jeannie,

Well I was finally able to get caught up at work after our wonderful yet short trip so now I can get back with you.


My husband and I have been vacationing up and down the gulf coast for several years trying to find the spot that most
suited us and I think we found it.  We loved the lay back feel, the good restaurants, and the close proximity to
shopping.  We walked for hours every day!

Your condo fit us to a tee.  Everything was comfortable, the new bathrooms were lovely, and the decor was attractive.  
It is really difficult to be critical when everything was so nice.    If only every stay in a new place went so smoothly!

We are planning another trip this summer if schedules with our two daughters permit.  We want to show them why we
enjoyed ourselves so immensely.

Thank you for being such good hosts,
Barbara and Michael A

Jeanie,

I wanted to take a minute to thank you again for the rental deal.  We had a very nice vacation, and very much enjoyed
the condo.  The modern
updates were in very good taste, and the sun room was a very nice addition that allowed us to have meals there and
view the ocean.  It is a very nice place, and I would be glad to recommend it to anyone.  We
certainly will keep you in mind for our future needs.

Thanks again, and best wishes.

Jeanie - We had a wonderful time and the condo was outstanding.  What a great location....

The only issue we encountered was with the sensor in the dryer.   

Other than that, it was perfect.  I have your link book marked and I am
sure we will be back. Thanks again for everything.

Hi Jeanie,

We LOVED the condo!!!!  Kerry was super nice too!  I hope we cleaned it up okay for him?  I would have done (or at
least started) the laundry but I didn't have any laundry soap (Sorry!).

We will definitely be back!! Any weekends that you want to fill up the condo just let us know and we will be there!!  We
are looking at staying for a week in the summer, when we firm up our dates I will let you know.

We also had some friends/family over to visit on Saturday and they want to book with you guys too!!

Thank you so much for a great mini-vacation!! You guys have the PERFECT location!!

Take Care & I will be talking to you again real soon!!

Thanks a bunch,

Hi Jeanie!
Arrived home from vacation yesterday afternoon.  We had such a great time!!  Mason was either in the waves or in the
pool when we were at the condo! Thanks so much for the accommodations – they were great and you can bet I will be
telling everyone about Siesta Key.  The weather was beautiful, didn’t seem as humid as it is here and so it was quite
pleasant.  The scenery was great!  I loved everything about Siesta Key. It was such an easy going atmosphere.  We
would definitely like to reserve a condo for next year so I will be looking at your calendar for openings in July.  I hope
your summer has gone well. I am back at work today 

Thank you for the lovely accommodation at Fisherman's Cove!  The unit was clean and well-kept and provided
everything we needed for a nice vacation.

Our family especially loved the quiet end of the beach.  In fact, we spent most of everyday just hanging out in the
water, skim boarding and collecting shells.  We even found some special shell treasures when we took the canoe out!

The sunsets were lovely and the balcony view was perfect!

We will certainly keep it in mind if we return to Siesta Key next year.  If not, I will be happy to tell friends about it!

Many thanks,

Jeanie, I am sorry I am just getting back to you.  I have not been at work in a long time and I am just checking my email
at work.  We had a wonderful time.  Everyone that went with us is already talking about next year.  We appreciate
everything you all did for us.  It was so nice of Kerry to purchase the pack and play for the baby.  We are looking at the
week of June 8th, for next year, so you will be hearing from us.  I am so sorry about the keys being mixed up.  I will
make sure that does not happen again, if you will let us rent again.  
Thanks again for everything.  We had a wonderful time.

Thank you for contacting us about our stay.  It was WONDERFUL!!  My husband and I are talking about going back to
Siesta Key next summer.  We loved your condo, it was very comfortable, especially the enclosed porch.  The only thing
that we found uncomfortable was the love bugs in the apt. behind the TV, recliners on the porch, and inside the
kitchen screened door.  All were dead but the cleaners did not do anything about vacuuming up the little critters prior
to our arrival.  As soon as we know our schedule for next year we will contact you.  I personally would love to stay for 2
weeks next time.

Thank you again for a little piece of heaven.  My husband and I have been telling all our friends about Siesta Key and
your place.

Dear Davenport Family,

We loved the location of the units especially with the kids.  Having the pool and beach right out the door was ideal.  
The island was beautiful as well as the weather.  Our favorite beach was the Siesta Key Beach.  We spent our entire
last day at the beach - it was a wonderful day. Having our friends next door was wonderful, it is a must for us.

The kitchen was nicely equipped ( a few more garbage bags would have been ideal though).

We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend your unit to anyone.  Thank you for your hospitality and for letting
us into your lovely condo.  You are very lucky to own such a lovely piece of paradise!

Thanks again,

Hello,

Our vacation was wonderful.  Being right on the beach was perfect, especially with the kids. The condo was beautiful
and clean!  The bathrooms are gorgeous.
The kids thought the master with no shower door was fun. It had everything we needed. I thought you suppling the
beach towels was great, they tend to take up so much room in a suit case.  Having are friends right next to us was
great.  We were able to hang out every night right there at the table while the kids played together. It was perfect.
When we plan our next trip to Siesta Key we will definitely call you.  Thanks again and have a wonderful summer.

We had a great time in CR 205. We really liked the updated bathroom. The only thing that we were missing were
fishing poles. We will definitely keep you in mind for future trips. We may want to try Fisherman's Cove the next time.

Hi Davenports,

We had a great vacation last week at your condominium and plan to make this a regular annual stay.

We may stay for two weeks next year so can you check your calendar and let me know whether the same week is
available next year and the following week as well.

Thanks for the offer of a discount, we do try and look after things like they are our own and we do try and leave things
cleaner than we found them so we are pleased to hear Kerry's comments.

My only recommendation is that you should have some laundry detergent available for emergency loads, other than
that, the condo was well outfitted.

Cheers

Bob

We had a wonderful time and  remain very appreciative of your allowing us to stay in your home. The location and

We certainly will return someday.

Dear Kerry and Jeanie,

We have visited Siesta Key several times and have never been disappointed.  Crescent Royale Unit 303 exceeded our
already high expectations.  Your redecorating resulted in an exceptional unit and we are sure you spared no expense
to make it so.

Any suggestions we have will only be "nit-picking" ………….

We will be sure to contact you when we firm up our plans for our next visit.  At present, who will be joining us and when
is up in the air.  Again, thank you for a most delightful stay.

Best regards,

Jim and Sue L

Jeanie and Kerry,

Thank you for providing us such an outstanding abode to enjoy for a week.  We couldn't have been happier---unless
we could have stayed longer!
When selecting a spot, I looked at MANY, but I thought you should know that one of the selling points, which may
sound trivial, was that you provided beach towels.  When one travels from afar, packing beach towels is a pain; buying
them on site and leaving them year after year seems foolish.  Thank you for providing them. Other things about 303
that impressed us:  hair dryers in the bathrooms, thick towels, radio/CD player, baggies/Saran/foil, outstanding
pots/pans/cookie sheets/cutting boards/platter, leftover containers, bowls, salt/pepper, cooking oil in a kitchen that was
both functional, gorgeous, and easy to use; a washer and dryer in the condo, a drying rack, ironing board and iron,
and a color scheme that was tasteful, coordinated, and not Pepto Bismol pink.  What a classy, relaxing, wonderful
spot!  Both of you were helpful and welcoming, but not intrusive.  The four of us thoroughly enjoyed every moment in
Siesta Key. We would like to reserve for next year,  We'd like 303 again.  There will be the same two couples. Again,
thank you for a wonderful place to stay.

Hi,
We're home to a 20 below chill factor!!!!!!  Brrrrrr!!!!!.  We really enjoyed our stay the accomodations were wonderful,
we have no complaints about anything.  Who could with that beautiful view and the nice weather we had.  It was very
clean and the decor was really nice.  I hope we left the condo in satisfactory order for you.  I hope to make
reservations again for next January as I loved the location and everything else.  Thank you for asking and we hope to
see you again next year.  Stay warm ha!!!

Jeanie, we had a wonderful time as I told you brother on the phone before we left.  We tried to take care of the place
like it was our home.
I can go on with the positives, location, friendly people, beautiful weather, being right on the ocean, beautiful views and
sunsets, Lazy Boy recliners on the terrace, noise of the waves breaking, walks on the beach, the crazy dives of the
brown pelicans, closeness to Casey Key beach….just a wonderful two weeks.
We found everything in place and were able to move right in when we arrived.
Other than a few minor items everything was great.
I hope others enjoy their stay as much as we did.
We hope to stay again next year......................

Dear Davenport Family-

Saying we had a great time is an understatement!!!  It was awesome!!!!  Siesta Key is a lovely place!!!
Your condo was beautiful.  It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and accommodating.  We could
not have asked for a better place to stay.  The easy access to the pool and the beach was great!  We can't think of
anything that could have made our stay better.
We hope to come and visit Siesta Key again!!!!  We've already told our friends and family (and shown them the
pictures) of the condo and the Key.  Thank you for everything!!!

Hello!

Thank you so much for all that you did to ensure that I had a great vacation. I really appreciated your making
accommodations for me to bring my boat, and to simplify my stay.
The apartment is very nice, and the new sofa that arrived just prior to my departure will certainly be of great use to
others who need that extra bed. It is very comfortable. as well.
I had the good fortune to meet the family that was staying in the unit next to 114 on my last day. They were from Ohio
also. They wanted some information about your places at Crescent Royale, so I gave them your web page info and
your phone number. I touted how your apartment was so well maintained. I wouldn't be surprised if they were to contact
you next time they come back.
I definitely plan on using your services on my future trips to Sarasota. I am planning a few long weekends, and if I see
on your calendars that there is any availability, I will try to stay with you on those trips, as well.

Thanks again for everything!

Hi Jean,

Just saying Hello and Thanks for a great place to stay while we were in Sarasota. The
weather was kind of "iffy" (cool) for several days, but the condo was wonderful. We ran
into Kerry in the parking lot one day, and it was nice to meet him in person. I'll hang
on to one of your email's in case we decide to go back next year.

Thanks again,

Thank you for renting to us.  We loved your condo.  The view is awesome.  I felt like we were on a cruise ship, the  way
you can see the ocean and no land in between.  We had a wonderful time.  Absolutely loved it.  I hope we are able to
go again.  

We left the keys on the counter.  I hadn't discussed with you what to do with them.  Kerry got us all set up with the
canoe.  Please thank him.

Thank you.

Hi Jeanne,

Thanks for your e-mail.  We had a wonderful time at your condo and hope
to return next year.  We were very happy with the accommodations and the
only thing that we think would make it even better than it is now- is
wireless Internet ( my husband usually has to do some work while were on vacation in the evenings and that would be
a great plus!) otherwise
it is great.  Thanks so much.

Dear Jeanie,

My husband and son LOVED that you could go fishing right out front (or back off the dock).  We met some nice people
and had a great time.  We definitely will be thinking of you next year.  Keep me posted on the beach progress.

Thanks again for letting us stay at your condo....I was a little leery renting on ebay but it turned out to be a good
experience.  Thanks for the wine and gift certificate too!  We sent the kids with their cousins in Northport and had a
nice night at Philipi Creek.

Take care and we'll be in touch next year!

Jeanie,

We had a wonderful time. We loved being on the first floor and near the pool. We
really liked Siesta Key beach, but liked staying at FC. We especially enjoyed
going out in the bay in the canoe. I loved the fact that things that everyone
uses were left in the condo for others. I hate having to buy every little thing
that you might need (coffee filters, oil, foil, etc.). It was great to come in
and have those things. We are leaning toward Siesta Key or Sanibel for next
year about the same time. Will let you know...but know that we very much
enjoyed Siesta Key and your condo at FC! Kerry was very nice and helpful. And
the gift card was an awesome extra. The restaurant was so good we went back
another night!

Thanks again!
