🌴 Casita Sol | Walk to Crescent Beach, HOA Pool & Easy Island Living on Siesta Key

đź’– Why You'll Love This Home
Casita Sol is a charming two-bedroom retreat on Siesta Key's quieter southern end, just steps from Crescent Beach's expansive shoreline and calm Gulf water. With a shared HOA pool, walkable dining and essentials at Crescent Village, and world-class snorkeling at Point of Rocks just down the road, this home puts the best of Siesta Key's more laid-back side right outside your door.

👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect For
Couples, small families, snowbirds, and pet travelers looking for a quiet Siesta Key setting with easy beach access and a relaxed island pace.

🎞️ Imagine This
Morning light filters in as the day takes shape over coffee. A short stroll brings you to Crescent Beach, where the shoreline stretches wide and the water stays calm. Spend the morning swimming or making your way down to Point of Rocks for some of the island's best snorkeling, then head back for lunch and a dip in the Calini Beach Club pool. When the afternoon slows down, Crescent Village is steps away for a cold drink or a casual dinner. Hop on the free Siesta Key Trolley when the group wants to explore further up the island, and end the evening back on the patio as the neighborhood quiets around you.

🛌 Where You'll Sleep
• Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
• Bedroom 2: Two Twin Beds

About Crescent Beach
Crescent Beach is one of Siesta Key's three main beaches, sharing the island's signature powdery white quartz sand. Known for a calmer, less crowded atmosphere than Siesta Beach to the north, it's a favorite among guests who prefer a more serene shoreline — with excellent shelling, swimming, and some of the best snorkeling on the key at nearby Point of Rocks.

Highly Recommend

We loved this cozy beach cottage and the amenities it provided (e.g., cooler, wagon, boards). The location is great not only for beach access and some great local establishments, but also easy access to venture into Sarasota. To top it off, the management staff were extremely responsive and helpful throughout our entire trip.

It was a great stay with my family. Its location is good. It is close to beach, 7 eleven and restaurants in a wlking distance. It seems that the property was renovated recently, has a morden look and is very clean. The front and back yard have enough space, chairs to take a rest and grills for steaks. The managing team quickly reponded to our requests and tried to resolve any issues. The welcome cup cakes were nice touch.

Amazing Soring Break Getaway with the fam

We had such a great time here. It was a perfect little space for us especially with the kids and their own room. Enough space to store food to eat in, relax after a long day out, a hottub to relax in before bed. We enjoyed every minute. We will likely be back. Also had some pretty great neighbors.

This property was perfect. Immaculately clean. 5 minutes to the beach and 2 mins to the pool. Umbrella and lounge chairs are provided at the beach. Kitchen was really well stocked and a starter kit with dishwasher tablets and other essentials was provided. The beach wagon provided was fantastic. Walking distance to restaurants. Management company was available by text for questions. Highly, highly recommend this place. We plan to return! My two year old had a blast.

The property was very clean and nice, but certainly very compact so pack lightly. My only gripe would be that there is no ambient lighting. If you’re not gonna have any lamps, you need dimmers that can really dim down which the ones on this unit were always pretty bright. Easy fix for the owners, update the dimmers or get a few lambs or both.

Siesta Key Family vacation

We had a wonderful time at this vacation rental property. The house was clean, beds were comfortable. It is conveniently located close to everything. It's located 3-5 min walking distance from the beach, short walk to the restaurants, pharmacy and 7 eleven. There's a nice cafe on the shopping plaza directly across the street that serves good breakfast and brunch food. The house is good for a family of 3 to 4 people. There's only one bathroom, and it is rather small. Adding a towel rack or hanging a door hook to hang wet towels would be nice. I will recommend this house to my family and friends.

Just perfect

Property was perfect. Super clean. Steps to private entrance of beach. 1 block to strip mall/shops. Bed COMFY. Amenities provided. Cupcakes were a delightful added touch. Hot tub great. Only hiccup, our flight arrived in the morning...check in not til 4pm. It was recommended that we can leave luggage in the office, but we're not informed the office was another 20 minute (office said 5 mins, but traffic is horrendous getting to that side) uber ride away in the village (just to FYI those that may need to do the same thing). But, despite that it was a PERFECT trip and cannot wait to come back!!!

All communication was super clear and done well in advance. Check in was a breeze. I got the code to the door and we were in. No need to stop someplace and pick up a key. Loved that we did not have to take a key back and forth to the beach and pool as well. It was clean, had everything we needed and we would love to stay again. Five stars

A Wonderful Week for the start of 2020!

This is a wonderful property located closely to the pool and gorgeous beach. This section of beach is private and less populated than other parts. Having chairs and umbrellas waiting for us was a plus! The cottage was very neat and clean, with a great kitchen and grill. The beds were fantastic—and we are picky about our beds! This unit had everything we needed, and we appreciated having handsoap/washing machine liquid, and some toiletries provided. Entering the cottage and being greeted with cupcakes was wonderful as well. When we had one little issue—new propane to connect—the management company responded within an hour and it was taken care of. This is reassuring, as we knew we’d be taken care of if anything major happened (which it didn’t:) Lastly, it was nice just to walk up the block to a convenience store and down two blocks for a larger grocery store! We will definitely be coming back soon to Siesta Key!!

So relaxing.

Fresh and clean. Upon arrival was greeted by personalized cupcakes, soothing décor. We loved the on site spa, the pool was just a few steps away and most of all the beach was so close. Our beach attendant was the best, best beach we have visited. Thank you, Matthew Purdey with the Cottages for helping me book this wonderful property. Very quiet and friendly location, hope to return. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

Wonderful trip with a mild set back

Not sure what this home was like in person because my reservation was lost. Due to a change in our travel plans I called to see if I could add an additional night to our stay. At this time I was told that this home which I paid for in full was rented to someone else. Thank God I called or else I would of been trying to walk into a home that was occupied by another family. I have to say that the staff at the Cottages are absolutely amazing and fixed the situation within an hour. I was very happy with my new accommodations. The home we did stay in was beautiful and we had a great vacation. The only advice would be to call and check on your reservation if booking though Home Away to make sure everything is as it should be.
