About this property
Sand Dollar Cottage | Waterfront Home w/ Private Pool & Kayaks! Minutes to Siesta Key Beach!
🌴 Sand Dollar Cottage | Canal-Front Oasis + Private Heated Pool
💖 Why You'll Love This Home
Float into coastal serenity at this canal-front escape on Siesta Key. Paddle from your private dock, dine in the screened lanai, or cool off in the private heated pool—all just a 15-minute walk to Siesta Key Beach. This home blends laid-back luxury with island charm.
👨👩👧 Perfect For
Ideal for families, couples, or groups looking for a peaceful waterfront retreat near the beach and vibrant Siesta Key Village
🎞️ Imagine This
You wake to the gentle shimmer of water just outside your window. Brew a cup from the Keurig, then sip it poolside as the sun rises over the canal. After breakfast in the screened lanai, grab a kayak and explore quiet mangrove-lined waterways. Back at home, rinse off in the outdoor shower, then stroll 0.7 miles to Siesta Key Beach for a sunny afternoon on the powdery sands. Return in time for sunset cocktails by the pool or grill up a fresh catch and gather around the dining table to recap the day's adventures. When night falls, settle into plush beds or stream a movie on one of four HDTVs—ready to do it all again tomorrow.
