One of Florida's Gulf Coast barrier islands, Siesta Key is a popular coastal destination that will delight both visitors and long-time residents. Siesta Key sits just south of the city of Sarasota and provides an almost tropical atmosphere for renters looking to soak up some sun on the Sunshine State's west coast. Buzzing nightlife and pristine beaches, combined with a family-friendly atmosphere, make Siesta Key a sunny locale fit for everyone. Locals enjoy visiting the open-air bars and seafood restaurants in both Siesta Key Village and South Siesta Key. Siesta Key Beach is the area's main outdoor attraction. With white sand beaches and pristine water, locals and visitors flock to the area year-round. Rentals in Siesta Key range from single-family homes to upscale condos near the water. The mainland is just a 10-minute drive away via Stickney Point Road.
