The Location - This will be “easy” just like vacations are supposed to be. It’s just a two-block walk to all the best of Siesta Keys South Village - fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even water front dining.  The beaches here are the whitest on the island, a short walk to the snorkeling and kayaking at point of rocks, and are 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 Point of Rocks, a naturally occurring limestone reef with white sand on its beach and snorkeling and kayaking in front. Popular with dolphin, chameleon, miniature conch and the “occasionally” giant-conch or sea turtle. This is a 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.

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.

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. 

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. For the less extroverted, every booking comes with an unabashed guidebook detailing the property, all my favorite things to do in the area, and never any advertisements or solicitations. This is the only rental offering of its kind on the key.
