Beach, Village, Canal, Dock & Private Heated Pool!!

Here it is! A truly one-of-a-kind Siesta Key retreat perfectly nestled between the beach, canal, and village, offering a rare combination of privacy, charm, and unbeatable location. Rad’s Cozy Cottage (RCC) features a private inground pool that is both heated and cooled, a backyard putting green, and a canal-front dock—making it one of the most desirable cottage stays on Siesta Key.

Whether you are starting your day with coffee on the dock, hopping aboard with one of our local captains for a day on the water, docking your own or rented boat, or simply enjoying the morning breeze as boats drift by, this home delivers the relaxed island lifestyle guests dream about.

The powdery white sands of Siesta Key Beach and the vibrant Siesta Key Village—with its shops, restaurants, live music, and nightlife—are just an easy walk away, so there is no need to drive once you arrive.

This charming 1,500 sq. ft. bungalow-style beach cottage is being offered for the very first time. If you dream of a private, original Florida cottage without shared walls or a condo feel, this is your place.

From the moment you arrive at “RCC” (Rad’s Cozy Cottage on Canal), you will know you have found somewhere truly special. Relax, unplug, and make this one of your most memorable vacations or getaways ever.

From the cozy enclosed front porch, soak in sweeping views of the iconic Siesta Key canal on the edge of Palm Island, watching boats glide by as the pace of life slows to island time.

This true Siesta Key gem has been thoughtfully refreshed with new electrical, meticulous cleaning, fresh paint, updated kitchen cabinets, and granite countertops, while preserving its original Florida bungalow character. A fourth-generation Archibald family home, instrumental in shaping the Siesta Key community, the cottage is rich with history and personality—featuring original hardwood floors, vaulted living room ceilings, Pecky Cypress cedar walls and ceilings, and spacious, inviting bedrooms.

Freshly painted and fully furnished, the home offers two bedrooms, one full bath, one half bath, plus an outdoor shower that many guests love so much it becomes their primary.

Designed comfortably for up to six guests, sleeping accommodations include one king bed, two twin beds, and a pull-out sofa bed. Additional guests are welcome for a nightly fee, with an air mattress available. Infants up to 12 months stay free.

Between the private pool, putting green, canal dock, beach access, and walkable village location, Rad’s Cozy Cottage offers a rare blend of classic Siesta charm and modern vacation luxury—perfect for couples, families, boaters, golfers, and anyone seeking the ultimate island escape.
