Steps to Siesta Key Beach & Village - 2BR w/ Private Balcony

GEM at Barefoot Bungalows

Welcome to “GEM” at Barefoot Bungalows, located in the heart of Siesta Key. What truly sets this property apart is the location — you’re just steps from Beach Access #2 and #3 and only two blocks from Siesta Key Village. Guests can walk everywhere — beach, dining, nightlife — *no car needed*

This is a second-floor, 2-bedroom, 1-bath villa occupying the entire upper level of this classic 1945 triplex. It offers that “Old Florida” beach cottage charm that’s increasingly rare on the island, especially at this price point.

Inside the Unit

The layout is efficient and comfortable:

King bed in the primary bedroom with sliding glass doors opening to the private balcony

Queen bed in the second bedroom

Full bathroom with shower/tub combination

Open living area with TV and WiFi

Fully stocked kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and Keurig

The large private balcony is a standout feature. It gives guests true outdoor living space — ideal for morning coffee or evening dinners after the beach.

Whether you're here for a relaxing beach escape, a romantic getaway, or an extended winter stay, Siesta Key offers the perfect blend of laid-back island charm and vibrant coastal energy.

My husband and I enjoyed this rental so much. The location was perfect, the air conditioning was so cold, and the bed was very comfortable! The host provides beach essentials (i.e. towels, chairs, coolers, wagon), all you need to bring is the sunscreen. I would definitely recommend this location for your stay in Siesta Key. You won't regret it!

Perfect Place!

This property is exactly what you want for a Siesta Key rental. It is between the village and the beach with a very short walk to everything. The property comes with all the stuff needed for the beach and, having stayed at other places where none of that was provided made me really appreciate the chairs, wagon, umbrella and cooler. The unit is very comfortable and clean. Lisa took care of all our needs and I will definitely stay here again!
