About this property
Sea La Vie
WALK to Siesta Key! My home is a true old Florida 50s bungalow style home located near the south bridge of Siesta Key. It is a ten minute walk across the bridge to beach access point 12. You can also walk across the bridge and catch the free trolley service that will take you down to Turtle Beach on the south end, or to the north end where you will find Siesta Key's public beach and the The Village where you can find more restaurants and shopping.
The space
The room is 240 sqft with a queen medium firm mattress and Roku TV. The kitchenette has a small sink, dorm size fridge/freezer, Keurig coffee maker, and microwave. You have your own bathroom with shower. There is a mini split in the room so that you can control the temp during your stay.
Guest access
The room is "studio style", with your own outdoor entrance with keyless entry.
This studio is separated from our kitchen'/living area by a door, which has a lock from your side and a deadbolt from our side and will not be used during your stay.
During your stay
I live here full time and am happy to offer suggestions and answer any questions about the area!

Location, location, location! Walk to the beach and dining / entertainment.
What makes this property unique
My home is an "old Florida" style bungalow with a lot of charm. I am only 2 blocks from the bridge to Siesta Key, in a perfect spot for vacationers to enjoy the #1 Beach in the US.
