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!

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.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
We were surprised to learn that the home did not offer any beach towels, we had flown to this destination so it was not something that was easy to travel with. We also needed to buy shampoo/conditioner, soap, dishwasher pods, and laundry pods.The most disappointing part of our stay was this is a bottom floor unit and the guests staying upstairs kept us awake all night. I don't think they were having a crazy party, but when they got up in the middle of the night the floors creaked so loudly and you could hear their bed creak when they rolled over. It was terrible.On our last night, we did not sleep at all. I had a screenshot from VRBO showing a check out time of 11 am, but we were told we needed to leave at 10 am. We asked for an extension to 1 pm, since we did not sleep. They said we needed to leave as they had new guests arriving that day; however, when I looked on VRBO our unit was open for the next 2 days - sad that they would lie and not try to accommodate us.The location is the best part about this unit. Inside the bathroom flooring needs to be retiled, hooks for hanging towels should be added, a hanging rack for the den with the bed, and adding some expected amenities would have made us feel more welcomed.

CHRISTINE S.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
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.
