The Beach
It's just a short walk to two semi-private Siesta Key beaches. 6-minute walk to beach access #13, just 4-minute walk to a beach access not labeled on the maps. 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 10 to 15-minute beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 8-minutes south.

The Location
Wakeup, decide if you will wear shoes today, then head to Toasted Mango Café for coconut waffles. Their waffles are the best and they serve breakfast til 1PM, so don't rush. Eat there or take it to the Beach to look for dolphins, swim, bike, or just or just go back to sleep. This is a special spot so exploring will be worth the effort. I like wading out to Point of Rocks Reef at low tide. Bike rides on the beach are also amazing and it's a 6-mile loop on the sand depending on the tide. I usually skip lunch to enjoy an early dinner at Big Water Seafood, best seafood in the county, and best grouper sandwich in Florida. The sunsets are amazing, it's what leaf season in the north would be like if it happened every day, and if they had dolphins and great weather there. At nightfall you can go out or go to bed or head to The Sniki Tiki or Daiquiri Deck (my favorites), but you have to make a decision.

Reef Snorkeling
Siesta Key is already paradise now add one of the Gulf Coasts 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.

    The only thing missing is a pool. Great location and easy access to the beach. Loved that there were beach chairs, towels and a small cooler.

    It was a beautiful place to stay & was taken great care of. The only issue was there was pee in the toilet whenever we first got there. But overall was clean & had all the necessary supplies to make our stay great. Definitely will be using them again!

    Overall the place was clean and as expected. The one negative would be the listing stated a grill was on site so my wife bought food for the grill. There is no grill on site. I reached out to the contact on the email and they said they would get back to me about that and they never did.

    This was a great place to stay!! Super clean and perfect amount of space we were needing for a long weekend. Location was about 3mi from The Village but 1). It was nice to be away from the crowd 2). There is a bus that takes you to town anytime of day that works off tips so very easy to get to town. We were only a block away from the beach so very easy beach access. They also provided beach chairs, umbrellas, wagon, and beach towels!! Would definitely stay again!

    we had a nice stay at this property. the location is great - the beach is close, as are multiple restaurants and shops. the condo is well equipped with items needed for a day at the beach - towels, chairs, cart. The place was clean and Daniel was easy to communicate with. The only things that we would change: 1) the kitchen did not have much as far as pots/pans/serving bowls and 2) the sheets on the master bed would not stay on the mattress. Overall, would recommend this property!

    Condo was clean and well stocked. Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens and towels provided. The location was very convenient for the beach and restaurants/shopping. Perfect spot for our family of 4 that includes a tween and teenager. Owner was very friendly and accommodating via email. Would stay again!

    Me and my wife stayed here and had a wonderful stay. It's a short walk to everywhere! Only like a 7 minute walk to the beautiful beach.
