The Beach Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Key West-style charm and beach access #13—quieter, more private, and just across the street. With no public parking nearby, this cove is one of Siesta's most exclusive beaches. The white quartz sand, tide pools, and calm, clear water are perfect for relaxing. A livelier scene with food, drinks, and the weekend drum circle is just a short beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 60 yards south.
The Location No car needed. Nestled on a quiet street with no traffic, businesses, or public parking. Walk 7 minutes to Siesta's top eco-adventures—boat, bike, jet-ski, and fishing tours. Prefer to relax? Sunbathe on the balcony, nap in a hammock, or enjoy Siesta's top-rated seafood, ice cream, and waterfront dining. Just a short stroll to favorites like Daiquiri Deck, Sniki-Tiki, Crescent Club, and Orange Octopus.
Reef Snorkeling Siesta Key is already paradise—now add one of the Gulf Coast's best snorkeling spots! Just 60 yards south, Point of Rocks offers safe, shallow waters filled with tide pools, colorful marine life, and shelling treasures. Most days you'll spot chameleons, sponges, mother-of-pearl shells, conch, and maybe even dolphins or turtles. Ideal for exploring by foot, snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak.

Great stay!
We had a wonderful time on Siesta Key! I loved how close we were to the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping and they don't require you to clean before you leave which was super nice with an early flight. Parking is great too. Beds are comfy.

We have rented with Gertrude Rentals a few times. This is our first time renting D. We had 2 condos at one time to bring all our family and friends with us. The condo had everything we needed. We stayed a week and had a blast. All you need to bring is your bathing suit and company!
Location is good and a few steps away from the beach. We had a really nice time in this property. They were very nice and accommodating to our group. Thank you

So close to the beach and the place was clean and adorable! I loved that the linens were supplied.
We had an amazing stay! The place was immaculate, and with linens supplied, we literally dropped our bags and went to the beach. Love the island, so many shops and restaurants! Truly wish we could stay forever.

Heather Siesta is always the best part of the trip. Next time you come bring your friends from St Pete. We get a ton of guests from there in the summer (a 77 degree winter day is too cold for them:)).
Was in a nice location with a parking spot that was helpful for when we needed to load the car to golf
