The Beach
Your nearest beach is a pleasant 15-minute walk on Ocean Blvd through the shopping and dining of the village. We like to walk to breakfast in the village then head straight to the beach at Access 7 or Sunset Pier. Leaving the beach, we stop off for lunch, dinner or happy hour. The beaches here are the widest, have panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South, and are the top spot in North America for sunsets. You can swim or wade to Sand Dollar Island, a naturally occurring white sand cay popular with dolphin sand-dollars and “occasionally” manatee and giant-conch. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing.
*Special note - Siesta Key Access 4 is just 100 feet from the house and, although not a swimming spot, it delivers the best views on the island, and is an amazing pick for morning coffee, evening drinks, and sunsets on the water. It's also pet friendly, boasts world class fishing, and you could get picked up here by a hired tour boat.

​​​​​​​

Great easy stay
The house was super cute, looked just like all the photos! Location couldn't have been better, 2min drive to siesta key village (a fairly doable 10min walk) and also less than 5min drive to more populated city for groceries, food, coffee. The house had plenty of beach towels for all the guests and tons of beach stuff including a cart which was SO helpful for all our beach gear and coolers. The best part of the stay was check out, it was so easy and didn't make you clean the entire house before checkout. Will definitely stay again if in the area.

Great location!
Loved our stay at this property. Short walk to downtown Siesta Key and the restaurants, shopping and beach access. The house is definitely darker than the pictures portray, even when you open all the curtains. For a beach trip intended to be casual this house worked great for us.

Great place!
Everything was great at this property. Good location. Great amenities, we had everything we needed for the beach and didn’t have to bring anything. Communion from the property management was great, we knew exactly what to expect during our stay. They were quick to respond when we wanted to extend our stay. Will definitely stay here if we ever visit Siesta Key again!

Great Location
we had a great say in siesta key with our 3 teenage boys. The house was clean and close to town and an easy bike ride or walk to get to town. Would have appreciated more toiletries (other than hand soap) etc similar to other rentals where there are typically bath towels, shampoo etc. Beach towels and chairs were definitely a plus.

Large comfy house great for groups.
Conveniently located with many nice amenities and plenty of space for large groups. I stayed here with my sisters and we enjoyed the house a lot and were very comfortable. It’s a short bike ride to the beach and town, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The property manager is great and helpful. Beds are comfy which is a must for me. I recommend staying here.

Fantastically Located and well stocked for the beach
Couldn't really ask for a better location, close to the village with restaurants, bars, and ice cream shops. Walking distance (.8) mile to the beach. Towels, a wagon, chairs, umbrellas all well maintained and ready to take to the beach. Bring some WD40 for the metal bunk beds, as they're very squeaky, and everything but oil and coffee for the kitchen, and you'll be golden for a great stay.
