Wander across the street to dip your toes into the cool, powdery sand of Siesta Key Beach. After a long, sun-filled afternoon, slip into the semi-private heated pool or relax on your upper-level balcony as the sky turns gold and lavender.

Being going to Siesta for 10 years now and have stayed at 8 different places and this was by far the BEST one ever!

No complaints. This property boasts incredible views, despite another home under construction across the street. At times there was construction noise, so we just turned up the boom box as we laid by the pool. This home has it all: beach necessities, views, trolley stop, and proximity to the beach.
