Siesta Key Vacation Rentals

White Sand, Warm Water & Island Time

Welcome to the kind of place where the sand is so soft you may forget you're wearing shoes.

Actually, you'll probably stop wearing shoes.

Siesta Key is famous for its quartz-crystal sand, turquoise Gulf water and laid-back island atmosphere. Visit Sarasota currently highlights Siesta Beach as a top U.S. beach and notes its distinctive quartz sand, beach parking, concessions and free trolley service connecting the island.

And Sundown Vista gives you a comfortable place to call home while you enjoy it.

Wake Up Somewhere That Feels Like Vacation

Our Siesta Key-area properties are designed for guests who want more than a hotel room.

One of our featured waterfront homes includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms, room for up to 16 guests, a private pool, hot tub, putting green, bikes and waterfront views, all just minutes from the beach, marina and village.

That is the kind of property where the house itself becomes part of the vacation.

Pool in the morning.

Beach in the afternoon.

Dinner in the Village.

Hot tub at night.

Repeat tomorrow.

The Famous Siesta Sand

Siesta Beach is known for its nearly pure quartz-crystal sand, which gives the beach its distinctive soft, cool feel.

It’s perfect for the traditional beach activities:

Build a sandcastle.

Play volleyball.

Read a book.

Float in the Gulf.

Walk the shoreline.

Or just sit there and wonder why you don’t live here.

The beach also has a large public parking area, concessions, restrooms and other amenities.

Siesta Key Village

Eventually, even the most committed beach bum needs food.

That’s where Siesta Key Village comes in.

The Village offers more than 100 shops, restaurants, bars and hotels, giving visitors plenty of options after a day in the sand.

Grab breakfast.

Browse the shops.

Stop for lunch.

Come back for dinner.

Stay for live music.

Get ice cream.

And maybe do it all again tomorrow.

Visit Sarasota highlights restaurants including Siesta Key Oyster Bar, The Old Salty Dog, The Cottage and Village Café, among many others.

Don't Feel Like Driving?

That’s another reason Siesta Key is fun.

The free Siesta Key Breeze Trolley connects the Village and beaches, and the island is also popular for biking, walking and golf-cart-style transportation.

So depending on where you’re staying, you may be able to leave the car parked and enjoy a little island transportation.

Which is exactly what a vacation should feel like.

Pool Day or Beach Day?

Why choose?

That’s one of the advantages of staying in a vacation home with a private pool.

You can spend the morning at Siesta Beach, come back for lunch, and spend the afternoon in your own backyard.
