About this property

Perfect Local In Village,1 1/2 Block From #1 Beach In USA, Pool, Wifi, Sun & Fun

Happy Clam has just undergone a significant makeover and upgrade courtesy of hurricane Helene. It is better than ever, thanks to our designer, Joe Clark! New photos will follow soon.

Absolutely, amazing condo in a perfect location! Welcome to Happy Clam! Attention to detail throughout, clean, and relaxing. Perfect in every way! This newly remodeled gem is 1 block from the pure white sands of Siesta Key Beach and 1/2 block from Siesta Key Village. Where the gulf waters meet the sand and the sand meets the Village.

Swim in a beautiful heated pool at the complex designated for guests only. It is rarely crowded and conveniently located directly behind the condo.

Happy Clam is small but spacious with a fully stocked kitchen, if you choose to cook. If cooking is too much work then you are a very short walk to nearly 20 restaurants in the Village where music and fun accompany some of the best fresh seafood, ethnic delights, and amazing ice cream.

And the Beach, it is a very short walk down the street from Happy Clam. Siesta Key Beach has just been rated again by "TripAdvisor" as the #1 beach in the USA and the #5 beach in the world. The Ultra-white 99% quartz sand is the best in the world. Never hot on your feet and silk-like in feel. Beach chairs, cart and umbrellas provided.

More fantastic restaurants a short drive away in Sarasota, just off the Key.

World-class shopping at St Armand's Circle, a quick 2O minutes away! It is an experience you will not want to miss. There is nothing like it!

Visit The Ringling of Ringling Circus fame. Sarasota has long been the winter home of the famous circus company. The Ringling facility includes eclectic collection of Baroque art, the Museum of the Circus, a thirty-room mansion, the historic Asolo theater from Venice, and some 60 acres of unparalleled gardens.

If you decide that you would like to visit Walt Disney World, Happy Clam is just 2 hours away. You definitely can do it in a day trip!

Just one more thing: At the end of our neighborhood is a breathtaking beach and a lot of water...enjoy!

Perfect Siesta Key property!
We enjoyed our second stay at the Happy Clam in early March! The condo was already updated and pristine last year, but Charlie and Sharen did some beautiful updates after last fall’s hurricane. It’s the cutest little coastal oasis just a block from Siesta Key village north and a couple of blocks to the spectacular quiet end of Siesta Key Beach!

Fabulous Siesta Key
This was our first time to Siesta Key but it certainly will not be our last. The rental property was so perfect in every aspect. The unit itself was just immaculate and decorated so beautifully. The kitchen had every utensil and item you could ever need. And the location could not be beat. We literally walked around the corner to all the restaurants and shops. Just a great trip all around. Highly recommended!
