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.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time on Siesta Key! I loved how close we were to the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping and they don't require you to clean before you leave which was super nice with an early flight. Parking is great too. Beds are comfy.

Long weekend

Dan was a great host. Very responsive and gave me good tips for local area. Nice to have free access to beach chairs, wagon, beach towels umbrellas, SUP and kayaks. Ive had to pay quite a bit for those items in the past when staying at beach hotels. And though we didn’t use it, there is a gas grill outside. Place is very close to beach, clean and as described - beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for myself and 3 teen kids. We rented bikes, which for us was sufficient mode of transportation. Was nice to be able to walk the beach at night to and from the restaurants. Would definitely come back.

So close to the beach and the place was clean and adorable! I loved that the linens were supplied.

We had an amazing stay! The place was immaculate, and with linens supplied, we literally dropped our bags and went to the beach. Love the island, so many shops and restaurants! Truly wish we could stay forever.
