A GEM on Siesta Key close to Village - 2BR w Balcony, 1945 Triplex 2nd Floor

  • GEM at Barefoot Bungalows

    Welcome to “GEM” at Barefoot Bungalows, located in the heart of Siesta Key. What truly sets this property apart is the location — you’re just steps from Beach Access #2 and #3 and only two blocks from Siesta Key Village. Guests can walk everywhere — beach, dining, nightlife — *no car needed*

    This is a second-floor, 2-bedroom, 1-bath villa occupying the entire upper level of this classic 1945 triplex. It offers that “Old Florida” beach cottage charm that’s increasingly rare on the island, especially at this price point. Stairs less to 2. nd floor

    Inside the Unit

    King bed in the primary bedroom private balcony

    Queen bed in the second bedroom

    Full bathroom with shower/tub combination

    Open living area with TV and WiFi

    Fully stocked kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and Keurig

    The private balcony is a standout feature. It gives guests true outdoor space — ideal for morning coffee before walking the beach.

Proximity to the beach (1-2 mins walk), to shops, restaurants & bars in the village (5 mins walk), and the thoughtful amenities provided by the host to enjoy a beach vacation (cart, beach chairs, towels) made this the perfect place for my family and I. Would love to return!

This was a great little place for my daughters and I to stay over spring break.It was comfortable, very clean. Host was responsive and was flexible about check in and check out time. The real standout feature about this place is the location. One short block to the beach access and a few minutes to walk into town where all of the restaurants and shops are. There were lots of spring breakers while we were there and even on some of the rowdier nights, we heard very little noise from inside this tucked away unit and never enough to interfere with sleep.We definitely recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed this rental so much. The location was perfect, the air conditioning was so cold, and the bed was very comfortable! The host provides beach essentials (i.e. towels, chairs, coolers, wagon), all you need to bring is the sunscreen. I would definitely recommend this location for your stay in Siesta Key.
