The Beach
Our beach access is across the street, 12-steps, and is quieter and more private. Although one of the most desirable on the Siesta Key and has no parking available so 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
Ocean view property includes second and third floor living and sleeping spaces and was remodeled in 2022. Units include two 3BR units and a 1BR unit (7BR total). The 3BR units each have floor-to-ceiling glass walls in master bedroom and living area to create wide-open southwestern exposures. Glass wall is bifold design and fully opens for maximum ocean or sunset views and refreshing breezes day and night. Common areas 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
Sleeping and living spaces are second and third floor. Units include two 3BR units and a 1BR unit. Each 3BR unit has one large king bedroom, an ocean view queen bedroom, and a bunkroom with twin-over-full and twin-over-twin-bunks. The 1BR unit is larger than most with a king bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa. Tempur-pedic rollaway beds are available with advance notice and you can sleep up to 23 family style. Need more space? Ask about 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 lover's 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.

Great location

The property manager was very communicative. I would absolutely stay here again. The proximity to the beach is great there is also a trolley stop right outside of the house, which means getting into town very convenient

Beach fun!

The property was great! Literally cross the street to enter the beach access. Common area has a ping pong table and a large table for family dining. There were no rooms or bathrooms on the main floor so have to go up stairs for both. Large laundry area with two washers and two dryers. Great backyard area for entertaining. Bikes, wagons, kayaks, paddle boards, umbrellas and chairs provided. We rented the entire property (7 bedrooms/5 bathrooms) for our family gathering and it worked perfectly. Walkind distance to restaurants and shopping. Close beach access was a huge plus for us.
