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.

Great customer service, but rental had issues & outdated

Quick customer service & appreciated the beach wagon. The unit was old, no dishwasher, shower head was broke (repair guy came to fix) and toilet handle stuck and you needed to wiggle it to keep toilet from running. The furniture also had an odor, so we sat on blankets.

Perfect location and everything you need!

My wife and two kids stayed for our first Spring Break in Siestsa and this place is right in the middle of all the best the island has to offer. You can park your car and walk to everything on the south side of the island.

Excellent stay near the beach.

The unit itself was very nicely furnished. A very comfortable and convenient stay. Great location, a short walk from the beach and a short walk from numerous excellent food choices. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again myself. Booking and check-in were simple and easy. We had no issues during our stay but with the email check ins though out our stay I got the feeling that Dan would have been very responsive to any issues that may have come up.

Not up to expectations

Several issues with the property from the onset. Old toilet ran continuously unless manually reset. Lanai screen was broken and did not wind up and down. No dishwasher. Very limited kitchen items. Paint splattered on lanai windows. Garbage cans left beside the streets for over a week. Extremely noisy since it's located next to Midnight Pass Road. Just an old poorly maintained facility.

Siesta key

We had a great stay at Casa Siesta. Apartment was roomy. AC worked well. A ceiling fan would be nice in the bedroom( just my preference) location was great. Close to everything. We had a car because we flew into Tampa. It was nice having the freedom to do what we wanted. Went to AnnaMaria island and st. Armand's circle. Had a great dinner at Connor's seafood and steak. So good, we went twice! Went to turtle beach, crescent and siesta. Got a lot of great shells at turtle beach and did a kayaking mangrove tour as well.

Met our expectations

Check in was easy, it was a short walk to the beach. Daniel got back to me immediately when I had any questions. I could tell it would have been a beautiful beach if we hadn’t gone the week after Hurricane Debby. The only downfall was when our young children had to use the potty - it was quite the walk back for them to hold it. It’s shared laundry room so sometimes you’re waiting a while on other guests to swap their clothes. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Families traveling with littles, I’ve previously learned to bring my own plastic dish ware for them so there’s no accidental drops of the breakable plates and cups.
