The Beach
Our beach is the widest, has panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South, and is 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. You can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shoes.
The Home
The right vacation unit makes all the difference. This cottage is quiet, was fully remodeled in 2025, and it's close to everything. Your patio is 100% private fenced in and surrounded by tropical plants with gas grill and dining table. It's perfect for enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, good book, cocktail(s), or an al-fresco meal. It's a 4-minute walk off the patio to the Siesta Key Village and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island. It's just a 2-minute walk to the sand path for the best beach on the island.
Bedroom Details
This 2BR house is ground floor with just a few steps at the entrance. Bedrooms include a sunny queen master BR, second bedroom containing 2 full beds, and a sofa in the living room. Need more space? We can get you a tempur-pedic rollaway bed or an additional unit nearby.
Beach Gear Provided
We provide beach towels, chairs, carts, and umbrellas. If you don't have what you need, just reach out and we can usually get it for you. Correction for Air-b-n-b listings this location doesn't provide "snorkeling gear" but this and anything you need can be rented or purchased nearby.
Household Items Provided
We provide bedding, kitchen items, most major and minor appliances, blow dryers, and hangers. Simple soaps and paper products come in starter-supply that will get you through a short stay and anything you need can be purchased nearby.
What to Bring
It's a laid-back island so pack as lite as you like. Our fashion is casual, wash and wear, and all units have laundries. Also, anything you forget to bring can be found nearby in good supply and fair prices.
Post Booking Support
We understand vacation time is precious and will make sure you get the most out of it. Our number is the only contact information you need. All units are at the top attractions on the island.
