Located on the highly coveted West side of Beach Rd. about 60 steps on a shell road to the beach path and just a one-block walk to all the best of the Siesta Village - fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts. The rooftop has views of Siesta Beach and the Gulf of Mexico with chaise loungers and al fresco dining. It s just right for enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, good book, cocktail(s), or an al-fresco meal. The beaches here are the widest on the island, have panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South, and are the top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can swim or wade to Sand Dollar Island, a naturally occurring white sand cay popular with dolphin s sand-dollars and giant-conch. This is the only spot on Siesta where you can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shirt and shoes. History This property backs up to Tenacity Lane where Betty Boardman Kruse, our good friend s grandmother once lived. Betty won control of this beachfront Siesta Key neighborhood after a much publicized 7-year fight with a rival. That year the Sarasota Herald Tribune published an article about her victory headlined Tenacity Wins! and Betty named the street after it. Beach Gear - Correction for Air-b-n-b listings. We provide beach towels and beach chairs at every location, umbrellas and carts at most locations, and do not provide snorkeling gear at any locations. Sorry for the confusion.
