About this property
“MOONMIST” Siesta Key villa in a 'jungle' setting
Moomist Villa is an idyllic setting to relax and rewind. It is located within Polynesian Gardens across the street from beautiful Siesta Key beach (Number 1 on the list of Top 10 most beautiful beaches in the USA). Out the front door you have a “peek-a-boo” view of the bay with boats cruising by. Out the back sliding doors you look on an ancient oak covered with resurrection fern, orchids & bromeliads & a jungle of tropical flora.
When you walk in the front door you will be captivated by the arched ceiling painted to look like the sky. The living room is charming & tropical, the sun porch/TV room is comfy and cozy . The kitchen is properly “beachy” with open shelves & bamboo countertops. The master bedroom with a king bed & wicker chests is a sanctuary ala Tommy Bahama style. The second bedroom has twin beds and is bright & Floridian.
SORRY: NO Smoking & NO Pets
AMENITIES:
The unit is fully furnished & equipped. It has 3 TVs ( 1 smart TV & 2 old models), VCR player, stereo system, etc. There is wi-fi access. The community fishing pier is at the end of the street & the heated pool is around the corner. Walk across the street to miles of white sugar-sand beach (1/3 mile -- or take the free trolley that will drop you off at the public beach). Walk (or drive) ½ mile to quaint beach pubs and convenience stores.
SORRY, NO SMOKING and NO PETS
ACTIVITIES & ATTRACTIONS: Beaches, pool, shelling, fishing, water sports, boating.
Shopping, restaurants, cultural activities – something for everyone!
GOLF -- over 40 public courses in the local area.
It’s just a short walk or drive to Crescent Beach and Siesta Key Beach. Or you can grab the free trolley that runs the length of the key. Island style restaurants and pubs are also a few blocks away. A 15 minute drive will have you in downtown Sarasota and 20 minutes will put you on world famous St. Armand’s Circle for world class shopping and dining. Sarasota is renowned for it’s many cultural activities including the Ringling Museum (if you’ve never seen a Rubens up close – WOW!), the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, Asolo Theatre, Sarasota Opera, Florida Studio Theatre, Players Theatre, Selby Botanical Gardens (orchids, orchids, orchids!) Mote Marine (pet a sting ray).
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS: Fly into either Tampa or Ft. Myers – we’re just over an hour from either airport. We’re less than 30 minutes from the Sarasota airport. It’s only 2 hours to Orlando (Disney, MGM, Universal Studios and Sea World). It’s about an hour to Tampa (Busch Gardens, NFL and NHL). It’s about ½ hour to the Ellenton Prime Outlet Mall with over 130 outlet stores.

I grew up on the beach in NC and now live on the beach in Sarasota -- always a beach girl. There's something about being near the sea that is good for the soul.
