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 contains just 3 units and was remodeled in 2022. The penthouse unit has the best views, sun and breezes. It also doesn't share a wall or ceiling with another unit. Floor to ceiling glass walls in master bedroom and living area 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
This ocean view penthouse unit is 3BR and is two staircases from the ground. There is one large king bedroom, an ocean view queen bedroom, and a bunkroom with twin-over-full and twin-over-twin-bunks. Tempur-pedic rollaway beds are available with advance notice, and although the master bedroom is quite big, setting up by the window in the living room makes it the best sleeping area in the house. You can sleep up to 9 family style. Need more space? Ask about an additional unit nearby.

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.
