About this property

Steps to Siesta Key Beach & Village - 2BR w Balcony, 1945 Triplex 2nd Floor

GEM at Barefoot Bungalows

Welcome to “GEM” at Barefoot Bungalows, located in the heart of Siesta Key. What truly sets this property apart is the location — you’re just steps from Beach Access #2 and #3 and only two blocks from Siesta Key Village. Guests can walk everywhere — beach, dining, nightlife — *no car needed*

This is a second-floor, 2-bedroom, 1-bath villa occupying the entire upper level of this classic 1945 triplex. It offers that “Old Florida” beach cottage charm that’s increasingly rare on the island, especially at this price point.

Inside the Unit

The layout is efficient and comfortable:

King bed in the primary bedroom with sliding glass doors opening to the private balcony

Queen bed in the second bedroom

Full bathroom with shower/tub combination

Open living area with TV and WiFi

Fully stocked kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and Keurig

The large private balcony is a standout feature. It gives guests true outdoor living space — ideal for morning coffee or evening dinners after the beach.

Whether you're here for a relaxing beach escape, a romantic getaway, or an extended winter stay, Siesta Key offers the perfect blend of laid-back island charm and vibrant coastal energy.

This was a great little place for my daughters and I to stay over spring break.It was comfortable, very clean. Host was responsive and was flexible about check in and check out time. The real standout feature about this place is the location. One short block to the beach access and a few minutes to walk into town where all of the restaurants and shops are. There were lots of spring breakers while we were there and even on some of the rowdier nights, we heard very little noise from inside this tucked away unit and never enough to interfere with sleep.We definitely recommend!

Proximity to the beach (1-2 mins walk), to shops, restaurants & bars in the village (5 mins walk), and the thoughtful amenities provided by the host to enjoy a beach vacation (cart, beach chairs, towels) made this the perfect place for my family and I. Would love to return!
