Siesta Key

Siesta Key is an eight-mile barrier island famous for powder-white quartz sand that stays cool underfoot and Gulf water in every shade of turquoise. Siesta Key Beach is regularly ranked the #1 beach in the United States, and the island’s laid-back village serves up dining, shopping, and nightlife steps from the sand.

Housing ranges from Gulf-front condos and village cottages to canal-front homes with docks and quick water access to the Intracoastal and the Gulf. It’s equally popular with full-time residents, seasonal owners, and investors.
