The Beach
This unit is located near world famous Siesta Key Beach. The quartz sand is the whitest in the world and the water is shallow clear and calm. Our nearest beach is access #12 at Old Stickney Point Road. It's also where the closest bars and restaurants are located. We like to walk to breakfast in nearby South Village then head straight to the beach. After the beach we stop again for lunch, dinner or happy hour. There is also a free Siesta trolley that picks up right in front of the complex and you can ride that North or South to any of Siesta Keys great beaches.

The Location
With so many attractions, many free of charge, a 5-night stay here will feel like a two-week getaway. If you get the most from a vacation when you don't have search or worry about anything, this unit is not a plus for you, it's a must! Take a free trolley 1-mile any direction to explore dozens of shops, restaurants, and beaches. Don't feel like putting on your shoes? Just swim in the pool, watch boats and dolphins pass, fish the inter-coastal, sleep in the sun, and even sightsee all in a safe environment and right on your property. Siesta Key's Beaches and dining attractions are world famous, but some of the best moments of your stay will happen right here in your complex.
