The Beach
Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Key West-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.

Perfect suite

This is the perfect little suite for a couple. We had everything we needed. When our blender didn't work, it was quickly replaced. Dan is the most attentive host and his staff extremely helpful and friendly. We can't wait to go again!

Great location and wonderful stay

We had a great stay overall. Daniel the owner was very hospitable and made sure we were taken care of during out stay. We loved that is was just walking steps to the beach and also to restaurants and bars. I also loved that they included a bottle of wine and two waters as complimentary add ons to the stay! The property also has umbrellas and chairs for use at no cost so that is very much appreciated. Thanks again and we hope to be back soon!

Great location, Clean and comfortable accommodations!

Very clean cottage located very close to the beach. Just steps away. Love the chairs outside of the room to relax in the morning and enjoyed having the beach chairs available to us and the umbrella. Wonderful trip with the exception of somebody backing into our car and leaving no information for us to follow up.

Siesta Key

Accommodations were as listed. Property was very clean and well appointed. The beach was just across the street. (Which as a side street wasn’t busy at all). Restaurants were a short walk and if one wished to go to the village, there were a couple “free” options available. Manager Dan was always prompt responding to inquires. I will definitely consider staying here on my next visit!!!

Amazing Stay!

This was such a great, affordable rental and I know I’ll be back here next time. We made use of all the amenities available to us and the walk to the beach was the best I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend this enough to anyone wanting to stay at Siesta Key!

Close to beach- Key West style

The condo was cute and just big enough for our family. It was as close to the beach as you can get without paying much more money to be at a beachfront resort. Good value for the quieter end of Siesta Key.

Point of Rocks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great property! The unit was clean, comfortable, quiet, and so close to the gorgeous beach! Access to both Siesta Key Village and Sarasota is so convenient! We love the quaint beach vibe feel of the neighborhood! We enjoyed beach walks as well as a long walk along Midnight Pass Rd. We especially liked paddling out to Point of Rocks and then getting ready to head for dinner. This place can't be beat and we will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend!

Everything was ready upon arrival and checking in/out was easy. The outside amenities, location (a short walk to the access) and the on site beach equipment made this a GREAT mini getaway with my spouse. Would definitely do it again.
