Examples of the BEST VALUES on Siesta Key - units a short walk to the Beach

YELLOW = 3 NIGHT Minimum

GREEN = 1 WEEK Minimum

RED = 1 MONTH Minimum


Here Jim & Carrie will share our opinions of the BEST VALUE Rentals on Siesta Key. (Please understand that we have no monetary interest in any way with these properties). All I can say is my tight-wad sister spends her whole Winters down here and has personally stayed at two of these places multiple times.

Some of these places may be farther away from the Beach than others. Some have water views (Bay or Lagoon or ponds) or not. Find out all you can by using Google Maps and calling owners, etc.

Because these units are not in the "mainstream", they are the most difficult to get information about, or to rent. You need to do some work to rent in some of these places as they DO NOT HAVE RENTAL OFFICES and most DO NOT EVEN HAVE A WEBSITE! You must work with individual owners or their agents to rent most of these places. BUT OFTEN THE VALUE THEY REPRESENT WILL BE WORTH YOUR TROUBLE!

How can you get contact information on them?

Since they don't have Rental Offices, you must contact the owner (or his agent) directly. Many of these owners advertise their places on VRBO.com (Vacation Rentals By Owners). Below we will provide you with a Link to VRBO from each complex. You may then email or phone the owners directly. Once you make contact with an owner, even if his place is rented, ASK HIM IF HE CAN GIVE YOU THE PHONE/EMAIL OF ANOTHER OWNER who may have a unit still available.

The Inlet (1 Month Minimum)

The Inlet is a 3 story condo with about 40 mostly 2-bedroom rental units. It sits on "Blind Pass Lagoon", at the extreme south end of Siesta Key. All units have a very nice view of the Lagoon (which is actually the inlet to the Intercoastal Waterway). Turtle Beach is about a 6 block walk (10 mins) away

The Inlet does not have a rental office or a website, but here is a VIDEO provided by a Real Estate company wanting to sell you a unit in there:

Sandy Cove (1 Month Minimum)

Sandy Cove is beautiful lush tropical complex with a very wide varity of different rental units, some very expensive, but some great values a few hundred feet from their Private Beach! It sits on "Big Pass", (on the Gulf of Mexico)just north of (and a very short walk to) Siesta Village (A GREAT LOCATION)!

Vista Hermosa (1 Week Minimum)

Vista Hermosa is condo right on Midnight Pass road just south of Stickney Point. It is a 10 minute walk to Siesta Beach (Crescent Beach).

It is not on any water, nor does it have water views, but its location is great as all the shopping, restaurants, and pubs in the Stickney Point shops are a very short couple block walk away.
