The Beach
Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Key West-style charm and beach access #13—quieter, more private, and just across the street. With no public parking nearby, this cove is one of Siesta's most exclusive beaches. The white quartz sand, tide pools, and calm, clear water are perfect for relaxing. A livelier scene with food, drinks, and the weekend drum circle is just a short beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 60 yards south.

The Location
No car needed. Nestled on a quiet street with no traffic, businesses, or public parking. Walk 7 minutes to Siesta's top eco-adventures—boat, bike, jet-ski, and fishing tours. Prefer to relax? Sunbathe on the balcony, nap in a hammock, or enjoy Siesta's top-rated seafood, ice cream, and waterfront dining. Just a short stroll to favorites like Daiquiri Deck, Sniki-Tiki, Crescent Club, and Orange Octopus.

Reef Snorkeling
Siesta Key is already paradise—now add one of the Gulf Coast's best snorkeling spots! Just 60 yards south, Point of Rocks offers safe, shallow waters filled with tide pools, colorful marine life, and shelling treasures. Most days you'll spot chameleons, sponges, mother-of-pearl shells, conch, and maybe even dolphins or turtles. Ideal for exploring by foot, snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak.

Solid choice

As advertised. Would definitely stay here again. It isn’t fancy but it’s clean and comfortable. Walls are thin so you’ll hear the neighbors, but people were respectful and mostly quiet (just kid noises). Very short path to beach, no shoes necessary. Good layout, nice deck to sit on, well outfitted kitchen, good sized common area, clean and free laundry. Nice beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. Very responsive mgmt—asked for new ice trays and voila! Hope to have a chance to return soon!

Quiet place close to beach!

The unit was very well kept. We all fit in just right and my son had fun in the bunk beds. It was a quick and easy walk to the beach, nestled in a quiet corner. The extra amenities on site were wonderful (outdoor shower/hang out area).
