The Beach
Our beach access is across the street and quieter and more private. It's one of the most desirable on the Siesta Key but has no parking available and isn't easy to access from rentals outside the neighborhood. The water here is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. A livelier beach scene with food, drinks and even a weekend drum circle is accessible a 5-to-10-minute walk south on the beach.

The Home
Generously sized 1BR remodeled in 2022 and a uniquely quiet option. While Siesta Key 1BR rentals are exclusively condos, hotels and multifamily units, our property has just two other units and your 1BR doesn't share a wall ceiling or floor with any of its neighbors. Common areas available to you include the ping-pong room, tiki bar, alfresco dining, and usually cornhole. Set on the Southern edge of Siesta Village and surrounded by tropical plants. Just 10-second walk to top beaches, and 3-minute golf cart or trolly ride (10-minute walk) to restaurants and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island.

Bedroom Details
This oceanside is one staircase up and quieter than most 1BR rentals. There is one king bedroom, and a queen sleeper in the living area. Need more space? We can get you an additional unit nearby.

Beach Gear Provided
We provide beach towels, chairs, carts, umbrellas, bikes and paddle boards. 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.

History – There's no public parking in this area so, even though this is a gorgeous beach, it ends up being a little more private than most. When I was a kid growing up on Siesta Key, this beach access was called “Palm Island” and named after the island of the same name right at the end of the street. The island has a small bridge going to it and is literally a “heart shaped” island within the island of Siesta Key. When I was younger this was our lovers lane and, for me, it's still the spot to fall in love or rekindle an old flame.

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. Cars are never required, but you will have private parking near the unit. No check-in restrictions, check-in any day of the week at any time using a private door-code. Never a cleaning requirement at checkout. Free early check-in when possible. No hidden fees or solicitations. Every unit including this one is available for instant booking. We can recommend the best spot for fishing or fresh fish, Michigan or Ohio State games, romantic-dinners marriage-proposals or singles, eco-tourism, family friendly activities, or safe ways to lose your kids when you(they) need alone time.
