Steps to Siesta Key Beach / Charming 2-Bedr + den apartment with Patio & Pool

Just Steps from Siesta Key Beach – Charming 2-Bedroom Apartment with Patios & Pool

Only 60 steps from the stunning Siesta Key Public Beach, this freshly remodeled 2-bedroom apartment with a DEN is your perfect coastal retreat.

The DEN is a fantastic option for two additional guests, offering a comfortable queen bed. While it provides a cozy and inviting space, please note that it is only partially private and cannot be fully enclosed to maintain proper air circulation for the AC. As such, it is not considered a true bedroom, but it’s a great choice for extra sleeping space in a pinch!

Spanning 1,200 sq/ft, this ground-floor suite comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with a king bed, a queen bed, and an additional queen bed in the DEN.

Recently updated in 2025, the apartment features beautifully remodeled bathrooms and chic, modern furnishings. All bedding is hypoallergenic, ensuring a restful sleep for everyone. With a private patio, you’ll have plenty of space to relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

The suite is fully equipped for your convenience, including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and two flat-screen TVs. Stay connected with free Wi-Fi and enjoy the ease of 2 complimentary parking spaces (stacked behind each other).

Nestled in a small, intimate resort with only two large duplexes, Gumbo Limbo Vacation Rentals offers a tranquil environment and access to a gorgeous black-bottom waterfall pool. Lounge by the pool, or fire up the BBQ for a delightful meal under the sun—everything you need for the perfect vacation.

Come enjoy a relaxing and unforgettable stay just steps from Siesta Key Beach!

Im rating this property fair to make sure potential renters take the complaints of the noise from the upstairs apartment seriously. The property would get 5 star's for location, very convenient to the beach. The apartment was clean, well apointed with everything you need in a small kitchen, with the exception of refrigerator is very tiny. The living space appears larger in the pictures. We were 4 adults and 1 child a little tight.Note to the owner the bathrooms need towel racks or hooks to hang towels, the showers need a shelf or caddies, no place to put anything we used the window sill in the little bath. It would help to have tvs in all the bedrooms, to help drown out the noises from upstairs.

Best VRBO Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Island Suite. Such a beautiful home and a very short walk to the lovely white sands of Siesta Key Beach. My husband and I brought our three adult children and everyone would love to return. Virginia was kind, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Definitely our best VRBO experience thus far.

Beautiful & Close to the Beach!

Beautiful home & perfect for our quick stay in Siesta Key! Right across the street from the beach and LOVED all of the beach items that were available (chairs, umbrellas, sand blankets). The pool is amazing and our kids loved swimming in it (even when it got a little chilly!) Loved some of the "stocked" items in the kitchen and made cooking a lot easier! Was very excited about the milk frother -- but unfortunately the batteries were dead - HA! Unfortunately the temperature dipped quite a bit while we were there so we did not get to enjoy the beach and pool as much as we had hoped, but loved the area -- check in was incredibly easy and we had a great time!

Nice and clean unit

Unit was clean. No bugs. My rating is because: felt like no sound barrier. Neighbors were very obnoxiously loud after hours one night. Could hear literally everything and blaring music. Could hear everyone walking above us. The two bedrooms by the pool desperately need curtains because when people are out back walking around a crazy bright light, lights up entire bedroom constantly waking you up. Location to beach was very nice. Plenty of bath and pool towels were nice. Parking was good for a truck and smaller car.

What a charming townhome! Everything was absolutely perfect. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were very comfortable! Aside from the townhome being amazing, the location is top notch!! Walking distance to everything! Steps from the beach and lovely walk to the pier area with food and shops. Also, very easy townhome to find for grocery deliveries!

Beach Access at its Best

Came for a wedding weekend - quick in and out and couldn’t have asked for a better location with such close proximity to the beach. We were very impressed the property was in great condition given the two hurricanes that came through this season. We also enjoyed the downtown area and would love to go back for a longer stay.

Siesta Keys

Fantastic week. Beach was beautiful no red tide this time, ocean was beautiful clear and warm for this time of year. The condo was exactly as described it was perfect for our needs. We chose this condo for location we knew it was an easy walk across the road to the beach and casual 15-20 minute walk from the condo to all the eating and entertainment. In the evenings very nice communal pool to round off the evening if so desired. I would highly recommend this condo if sharing with two couples and has the option of third bed if needed. The only negative I have is the one bathroom is very compact particularly the commode being so close to the wall on the window side made it very challenging for anyone to sit on the toilet seat.

Short but great stay!

The condo was very clean and spacious. Easy walk to a beautiful beach which despite being public felt private. The weather didn’t cooperate a couple of days but the kids loved swimming in the heated pool. You can walk to the Siesta Key village in about 15 minutes or take one of the trolleys. We loved the convenience of the trolleys which pick you up 100 feet from the condo. The owner is very responsive to communications as well.

Ladies trip

Room and property was very nice, clean and only 1 block from the beach. Good beds, good air condition, close to town with restaurants and shops. Free Siesta key trolley stop right outside our building. Beach chairs and umbrellas were a nice perk included with our stay. Property manager was very nice and receptive, always responding quickly to any questions. The only complaint we had was thin walls and the upstairs guests keeping it very loud for most of the nights we were there, hard to sleep with the stomping and loud conversation. Not sure if that is something you can change though. Check out time could be a little later… Overall had a great stay! 🤗
