Beach Club by Sky Active Living review
Excellent on everything! i really think this move was perfect for my mother, the facility is wonderful and clean. the staff is super nice. if i had a complaint it would be they have a bus that only holds 12 people for a facility with over 100 residents. it is difficult to get your name on a list to go to Walmart when so many people want to go .

Review for Beach Club by Sky Active Living
We chose this community because it was affordable and the location is fantastic. It's also pet friendly and quiet. I would tell a friend, to do their research, talk to as many current residents as possible and not to expect anything special from the dining room, except for breakfast.

My Tour Experience at Holiday Desoto Beach Club
I know we toured DeSoto Beach Club as one of several communities. Although it was beautiful we did not feel that there were enough activities or employees for Mom.

Most Affordable Retirement Community in Sarasota
Overall it's a good experience, and it's the most affordable place in Sarasota and Bradenton that I know of. The only thing we didn't like is the staff response when something was broken. The shower was not reinforced with concrete when it was installed, so my Dad was able to poke a hole in the shower floor and it was never fixed. And the cleaning crew didn't clean much - but in their defense, my dad probably needed more care than most people on the independent living side of things.

'would recommend
We love the Holiday Desoto Beach Club, it has been a good experience so far and our loved one seems to be adjusting really well there. The three courses that are served to the residents are very good and there are always different activities going on to keep them busy. It is very clean and the staff members have been wonderful. Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to other families.

Excellence in service, staff, culinary & location!
Since I moved in last month, the staff has been extremely helpful during a time of transition and I’m very pleased to recommend Desoto Beach Club to others! I have made new friends, become established in the community and plan to reside here as long as possible.

Veterans beware they don't honor your emotional support
I would say do not go to this community unless you can fit into the mold that they want you to fit into. For sure do not go if you have anytime of service animal. They have activities like themed holiday celebrations, church services and more for the residents to do to stay busy. All the staff that work with the people and serve food are great it is just the office staff that are hard to deal with.

A great place for Mom
Really good staff and a clean community. This is a modern community and the people really take care of you here. The other residents are really happy to be here also which is a plus. All independent living is pricey but this one and all that you get you truly get what you pay for. My mother loves it here.

Good community, but needs improvements
Our first impression right away is that it seemed like they had it all together, that they had a very active director, but once our loved one moved in those promises have just not been followed through and not really meeting expectations. For a month they did not have house keeping on the second floor which is where our loved one is. They advertise transportation, but they do not have it.

This was a good community and would have worked perfect for my loved one. I just had to narrow down the choices and my loved one picked a different community. The tour was great, and they took the time to show me everything.

No place is perfect, but this has been the perfect match for my loved ones.
I think it's perfect for my family. They are very plain, down-to-earth people. We visited some other facilities where women were dressed nicely for meals, and that is just not my loved ones. For them, this has been a perfect match. The apartment is fine, relatively small but bigger with more light than others that we saw at other places. I had great interactions with the staff through the move-in process. I was very impressed with them. They were accommodating, patient, and friendly. My loved ones love the food here and are very happy with it.

Nice conversation with [name removed]. Nice concept of independent living. First impression rugs needed replacing and maybe rooms could use fresh coat of paint. [name removed]said they are working on replacing rugs. Nice but kinda worn. Spoke with resident seemed happy. Social activity although I did not see much.Not crazy about the doors being locked at 7:30 with residents having special key to get in after 7:30 and if help needed had a call system you wore to press for help. Granted this independent living and they would not have any more than a call system at home. For me I just feel better if there is staff available at night. For the money the previous place I discussed would be a much better fit I believe for my dad.

Our experience with Desoto Beach CLub
We chose Desoto Beach Club because the facility itself was clean, the staff members were friendly and I felt like they were confident and attentive. The apartment sizes here are good. I think they have done a good job during the whole covid experience with monitoring visitors and adjusting the food/activities and adapting to the whole situation. I would recommend to others looking.

Scary for Our Loved One and Us
I feel the staff were more concerned about themselves than the residents. They would serve food on a Styrofoam plate, and delivered the food to the resident's rooms. We ended up taking my loved one out of the community, since they were locked in their room.
The residents were stuck in their room and their health declined rapidly.

Check this place, it's worth it
We chose Desoto beach club because the people were very friendly here, it felt like I knew them for years and it is very family oriented facility. I would highly recommend them to others who are looking and already have.
