Siesta Key is located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, just an hour south of Tampa. Part of prestigious Sarasota County, Siesta Key is only a bridge away from the “epicenter” of Florida’s Culture, Sarasota.

Featuring 99% quartz, Siesta Key is proud of its sand. Siesta Key even won an award from the International Sand Contest in 1987 for having the best overall sand anywhere! That means that Siesta Key has the best sand in the WORLD! Even the Travel Channel agrees. In 2004, the Travel Channel’s Best Beaches in America show featured Siesta Key as the Best Sand Beach…on the planet!

Siesta Key, Crescent Beach, Siesta Beach and Turtle Beach are accessible from the North Bridge at Siesta Drive or the South Bridge at Stickney Point Road.

With limited parking, along Beach Road, expansive Crescent Beach has been rated as one of the “Top 10 Beaches in the World”. Smack-dab- in the center of Crescent Beach is… the “public beach” known as Siesta Beach where Dr. Steve Leatherman, a.k.a. “Dr. Beach” awarded it… The #1 Ranking… above all other beaches in the U.S…. including Hawaii! Even Florida Trend Magazine has named Siesta Beach “The Best Beach” in the State of Florida!

If vacationing on Siesta Key in early November, you could see some pretty unusual sand formations. Not your typical sand castles but, World-Class… sand sculptures. You’ll see the best of the best…as Sand Sculpture Artists the world over, gather on Siesta Beach to work their magic at the Siesta Key Sand Sculpture Contest.
Siesta Key beach offers tennis and volleyball courts, shaded playground and picnic area, and convenient concession stands for a quick bite or a refreshing drink. Its shallow water near the shoreline and year-round lifeguard protection make it a great beach for the whole family. You can even borrow beach wheelchairs if you have visitor that needs help across the sand.

Whether you enjoy playing tennis or volleyball, fishing or boating, or a Drum Circle on Sunday evening to mark the end of another perfect weekend on Siesta Key, there's always something to do on Siesta Beach and it is all within walking distance of the many shops and restaurants on Siesta Key Village.
Crescent Beach

Located just south of Siesta Beach and with only one public access road, you can enjoy the same azure gulf waters and picture-perfect sunsets in a quieter, more secluded setting. At the southern tip of Crescent Beach, you'll find Point of Rocks, an area rich with coral formations and colorful marine life that is perfect for snorkeling or diving. Crescent Beach is the most private, non-private beach in town.

The sand at Crescent Beach was rated as "The World's Finest, Whitest Sand™" at the Great International Sand Challenge in 1987 beating more than 30 entrants.
Turtle Beach

Located on the southern tip of Siesta Key, Turtle Beach offers a "sportier" beach experience with its picnic areas, playground, volleyball court, and horseshoe pit. Turtle Beach has a boat launch area and fishing is permitted in the adjacent Blind Pass Lagoon. This area has restaurants, shopping and a few local night spots nearby.

Turtle Beach is a narrow beach with a steeper incline and darker sand that carries more shells. This beach is perfect for beach combers and shell collectors; you might even find a petrified shark's tooth to take home, especially after a storm.

Whichever beach you choose, the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce can help you find the perfect Where To Stay, fun Events Calendar and all kinds of Things To Do while you are in town.

Siesta Key Pool House

The only slight problem was the lack of information/communication supplied by HomeAway ,,We booked 12 months in advance and closer to departure date still had no communication from them regarding our trip & access to the property ,still no door code received, lucky when we arrived at the property the cleaning lady was in there,,, but overall we had a fantastic time, property was more than adequate considering its a rental, facilities were good , pool table , swimming pool ect , overall very happy.

Not what we expected.2 star accommodation with 4 star pricing

We've stayed at 3 properties in Florida while on holiday.Orlando ,Naples and Sarasota.This property unfortunately was our least favourite. Location was very good ,beach approx 3 miles.Beds were not all made for us and struggled to find enough bedlinen and pillows.Curtains didnt give enough privacy and some blinds were broken.Internal doors all in need of replacing.Aircon was also very loud.Thought this property was vastly overpriced for quality of house.Other houses that we stayed in were cheaper and of a far superior quality.Not enough comfortable seating around pool if suitable for 10 guests which our other properties had. No working lighting at pool for nights.House was clean but needed alot of modernising.Thankfully we were only staying 2 days at this property.

Our large family enjoyed our stay here. The pool was a little cold for the adults, but the kids loved it. We really appreciated having all the sand toys, beach chairs, and towels to use. The kitchen was well enough appointed that we were able to have some local relatives over for dinner, which was lovely. There was space for everyone to have some quiet time apart. I also fully appreciated that there was a washing machine and dryer we could use. The location was great- short drive to Siesta Key beach and many other great beaches within about a half hour drive. Right across the closest major street is a new shopping center with restaurants and a new Publix(not opened yet during our stay, Feb 2023), what I’d consider walking distance, so convenient! My only complaint is that I didn’t receive communication regarding check in or how to get into the house. It was resolved with a few phone calls, but not until the day of, which was a bit nerve wracking traveling with kids and not having that info well in advance. I booked through Expedia, but the property is through Vrbo, I assume it was something to do with that. I also had to call for the Wi-Fi password. Would be nice if that was included in the information binder. All in all, I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Dirty & Not Safe

Our experience was not great. Upon check in we did not have the code/key access and had to wait for the owner to provide information while we sat in the driveway. We were told that we'd receive the information a day before check in but nothing was sent. When we got into the house there was a bad smell. We think it had been sitting empty for a long period of time. The water was turned off and the toilets wouldn't flush. The sliding door to the pool would not lock which was a big concern with children. The 4th bedroom/office had a door to the pool which also did not lock. We got inside and one of the beds was broken. The mattress was just laying on the floor. Our kids were scared to stay in the room where the door didn't lock so they stayed in the room with a broken bed. We saw insects/cockroaches run across the living room floor. We were told to put the garbage in the garage but when we opened the garage the door wouldn't go back down. There were so many rules about the garbage. We did not feel safe or clean at this property. We found out from a neighbor that the house was listed for sale right before our arrival. This property was not well maintained. I do not recommend.

Was hoping previous bad reviews were wrong

Let me start by saying the property was close to everything. The check in issue was resolved quickly. The manager responded to the other issues promptly. Beach equipment was plentiful, carbon monoxide monitor included, bedrooms were a nice size. The pool was nice to go in although cold. My family preferred to sit outside than inside (see why below). Now, I read previous reviews that the property was dirty. I wouldn’t say the property was dirty as In not cleaned but dirty as In wear and tear and lived in. The only solution I can come up with to fix the issues is a bulldozer. Issues: Water bugs, roaches, ants, leaks, patched ceiling, peeling walls, rusty rebar by pool, rusty nails and screws, holes in closets, bedroom doors don’t lock, doors are old. Outside door is old, lockbox is old, doors with padlocks but no screen or glass (I’m confused too). Too many Rules- trash, garbage disposal. Mattresses outside, dirty furniture, couch although seems new smells like vomit, no cable, horrible wifi service, email received about electricity use after already booked. During Sunday dinner, the ceiling started leaking on us. Property manager said this never happened before although there was a roofers sign outside and there was plenty of water damage in various places. Not much space around the pool to sit with a family of 7. Pool tables and chairs were dirty. We stayed for 5 days and I couldn’t wait to get home to take a hot shower. Oh, you must take the drive to Anna Maria island.
