Property Truths
This Siesta Key vacation rental is a budget 2BR accommodation priced like our 1BR units. It has everything our prime units have except sound insulation in the ceiling which, although usually not an issue, might result in noise from above. If you want to experience Siesta Key, less than one minute walk from the best beach on the island but are on a budget and are not sensitive to noise from the ceiling above then the poor boy should be the perfect place for you.

The Beach
Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Siesta Key-style charm and beach access #13—quieter, more private, and just across the street. With no public parking nearby, this cove is one of Siesta's most exclusive beaches. 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 beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 60 yards south.

The Location
No car needed. Nestled on a quiet street with no traffic, businesses, or public parking. Walk 7 minutes to Siesta's top eco-adventures—boat, bike, jet-ski, and fishing tours. Prefer to relax? Sunbathe on the balcony, nap in a hammock, or enjoy Siesta's top-rated seafood, ice cream, and waterfront dining. Just a short stroll to favorites like Daiquiri Deck, Sniki-Tiki, Crescent Club, and Orange Octopus.

Reef Snorkeling
Siesta Key is already paradise—now add one of the Gulf Coast's 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.

Bedroom Details
This property is two stories and this unit is one flight up with no one above it or below it. There is a king bedroom, a queen bedroom and a sleeper sofa. You can sleep up to 7 family style. Need more space? We can get you an additional unit nearby.

We had a wonderful time. The appartement was just what we needed. It was close to the beach and we took advantage of using the accessible beach chairs.
