The Location - This will be “easy” just like vacations are supposed to be. Located on Siesta Keys highly coveted Beach Road, you exit the unit and immediately see wide open southerly exposure and a beach view. It's 13 steps from the yard to Beach Access 10, possibly the islands best beach today. It's a one-minute trolley ride or a two-minute bike ride to the Siesta Village for fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts. The beaches here have panoramic views of the gulf with wide open exposure to the North-West-and-South. This the top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can swim or “often” wade to naturally occurring white sand cays popular with dolphin's sand-dollars and “occasionally” giant-conch. This is the spot on Siesta where you can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shirt and shoes.

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.

Beach Gear - Correction for Air-b-n-b listings. We provide beach towels and beach chairs at every location, umbrellas and carts at most locations, and do not provide "snorkeling gear" at any locations. Sorry for the confusion. Snorkeling gear can be rented or purchased nearby.

When you book with me you get a fully accessible and knowledgeable owner/host and reliable advice from an approved local expert. I 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 need a break.

Events - only with prior approval.

Terms - Payments are 50% refundable when canceled at least 60 days before arrival. Payments are not refundable when canceled less than 60 days before arrival. Events or gatherings involving outside guests are only allowed with prior approval from the management. Guest agrees to hold the Property Manager and Owner harmless from any liability for injuries while on vacation.

Travel Insurance--If you prefer insured bookings, we also offer travel insurance. Basic Travel Insurance- cost is 7%, covers 30 different issues, coverage begins only after protection has been purchased. CFAR (cancel for any reason) insurance is available in states applicable- cost is approximately 11% (7% basic plus additional 3.8% to add CFAR). Basic and CFAR must be purchased together as CFAR cannot be purchased individually. CFAR covers 60% of the trip cost with no questions asked. Travel insurance must be purchased within 14 days of booking and 30 days before check-in. Claim must be filed two days prior to arrival, available to U.S. citizens only.

Support Post Booking - I understand vacation time is precious and I will make sure you get the most out of it. My number is the only contact information you need. My units are at the top attractions on the island. Cars are never required, but you will have private parking near the unit. Check-in any day of the week at any time using your private door-code. No requirement ever at checkout. Free early check-in when possible. Never hidden fees or solicitations. Every unit including this one is available for instant booking.

Siesta vacation
The rental unit was well appointed, updated and clean! I would suggest maybe putting in some hooks in the bathroom, maybe in the shower also for damp swim suits and towels. There wasn't cable in the bedroom and the internet in bedroom was so spotty we couldn't even stream in there. This was very disappointing to me. Otherwise our stay was great. Everything we needed for the beach...chairs, umbrellas & waggons and the beach access right across the street. Great place to rent all units for a large family vacation! We had a great time!

Lovely updated property.
Great location. Short walk to the beach, restaurants around a 10 minute walk away. Responsive host. We had issues with the wifi which could use an update but the host dealt with it immediately by dropping off a 5g hotspot which handled the problem. Would definitely go back without hesitation.

Noisy neighbors
Our condo was really great. Loved the access to beach and village. The third night the neighbors moved in upstairs. They brought their camper and set up in the driveway. Had little kids constantly running above us till really late t night which was extremely annoying . Couldn't believe how the sound from upstairs was so loud. Would rent again, just not on second floor.

Clean and great location!
We enjoyed our stay. Beach access was right outside the building and Siesta Village was a very short walk. A shuttle service called the “frog hop” offers a ride for tips, if you don’t want to walk a few blocks after eating dinner. We had everything we needed here and would choose this location again if we return to Siesta Key.

Hidden Gem!
Quaint one bedroom unit, literally across the street from the ocean! (Public Beach Access 10). Had everything we needed for the beach, chairs, umbrellas, beach carts. It was a very short stay, but we were able to maximize our time at the beach and SK Village due to proximity and conveniences offered by this rental. Daniel was super informative and prompt in all communications. He even gave us a bottle of wine at check in for my husband and I to enjoy during our kids free long weekend at the beach! Short walk to Siesta Key Village to hit the restaurants, bars and shops. We barely took our car out of the driveway during our stay! Perfect little place for a couple looking to enjoy a relaxing stay at the beach!

Nice stay
Clean and very cute rental. Location was good, but we were disappointed that most of the accesses to the beach were flooded, due to Idalia, the hurricane that recently passed by this area. We ended up driving to the beach. The trolley was a great surprise. Glad to see that the restaurants were open and ready for customers.

This is a perfect spot for a cute romantic getaway. Dan was super nice with all details from check in to check out. Everything is super close, super clean apartment, comfy bed but only issue was you could hear everything from hallway and stairs. I would definitely come back with my family and would rent out entire place.

Great for a Quick Stay
Great for a quick stay. The unit was pretty clean overall but the dishes were dirty and there was dog hair on the floor. The unit was in a PERFECT location and we really enjoyed the section of the beach we were on. The building was older and a bit run down so you could hear every noise from other units which would definitely keep us up. Lastly- the wifi only works in the living room. Unfortunately need to take a star off my rating because we had someone from maintenance walk into our unit without knocking which made me really uncomfortable for the remainder of our stay. Dan was great and check in and out was seamless.

GREAT STAY!
Our stay at Dan’s place was great from start to finish. Everything was perfect. Booking was easy, the place was clean and had everything you could need minus your personal things (beach chairs/umbrellas, beach towels, beach wagons, bikes). Dan was super responsive. But best of all, it was pet friendly so we got to bring our girl with us! It’s located right across from the beach so no need to search for parking and it’s just a few minutes away from some fun spots to eat and drink. Highly recommend Toasted Mango Cafe, Circo Bourbon and Taco Bar, and Owens Fish Camp is a MUST!

Great stay!
My wife and I wanted to slip away for a five-day weekend in Siesta Key, and this location was perfect for our needs. Just a short walk (across the road) to beach access that seemed to be far less populated than the beach to our left and right and very close to places to eat and shop. The unit is shared with other tenants via a hallway/stairs so you can hear neighbors at times, but despite a "full house" there were plenty of chairs, umbrellas and wagons to go around for a comfortable day at the beach. We'd do it again if the opportunity was there!
