The Ringling Beach House

We enjoyed our time in The Ringling Beach House. Really great location for the beach and the village, Susan and the team were very friendly and responsive, the pool area was lovely, in general a good place to relax. We stayed in 'Ringmaster' which was OK, not a big space, but it was fine for our needs (family of four). Small kitchen but enough for some basic cooking.

We stayed in the Villa. The property had curb appeal from front to back yard. A nice semi-circle driveway that can easily fit three cars. We loved the beautiful, colorful plants (bougainvillea especially) in the backyard and the lighting at night that accented the plants, trees, and pergola on the patio, making the atmosphere cozy and special. The inside was spotless, the beds were so comfortable, and so were the pillows. The only beds we didn't use were the bunk beds, so I can't speak to those. The AC worked great and kept us cool all day long. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the abundance of nice dishware, glassware, and mugs. There was plenty of silverware, cooking utensils, good knives, and appliances (i.e., Keurig and Drip Coffee Maker, Toaster, electric kettle, stove top kettle, and even a Blender!) There were other little extras too, like foil, press and seal wrap, ziplock bags, some spices, sunscreen, mini shampoos, and soap. Out by the pool, they had a wonderful propane grill that we used to cook burgers, floats for the pool, lounge chairs and off to the side of the house, they had a couple of beach chairs, beach body boards, a beach wagon and umbrella and even a cooler (lrg.) if you needed one. We had nice towels in each bathroom for everyone and wonderful beach towels to take to the beach. The furniture in the Villa looked new, and all was very comfortable. There was a large TV in each bedroom and each living room. There were board games, cards, and paddleball for the beach. The beach was a short 3-minute walk, and the restaurants and shops were only a 10-minute walk. It was nice and quiet at night.

Excellent location opposite one of the top 50 beaches in the world - nice pool too - clean and well equipped room - two bedrooms and a shared showerroom. Beach equipment - chairs and an unberella and a trolley to carry them in supplied, nice touch. Staff are are on hand and great. There is a free trolley bus that runs up the promenade here to take you to the cafes and restaurants and shops, but you are better walking - onlt 6 mins away.

It was quaint and perfect size for us. Parking was great and convenient location for us to see all the businesses around. Never got bothered by staff. They had several wagons with beach chairs and items to use free which was super helpful and appreciated.

There is so much room to spread out, and the setup in the house was awesome with 2 living room areas &dining areas, plenty of beds, nice pool loungers. The only flaw was that all of the bathrooms are located within bedrooms. Loop hole, you can enter the 1 bathroom from the pool area using an exterior door. The bathroom contains the washer dryer and then connects to the 3 twin bed room. But awesome. Otherwise, already dreaming of another stay. (Some neat books on the shelves to read and kids toys for the beach were outside. There was an ez-up, new chairs, and a deisle wagon for the beach, but the wagon was nowhere near big enough for the size of the tent and chairs available we had some straps with us but plan on getting creative if you dont.)
