The Beach Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Key West-style charm and beach access #13—quieter, more private, and just across the street. With no public parking nearby, this cove is one of Siesta's most exclusive beaches. The white quartz sand, tide pools, and calm, clear water are perfect for relaxing. A livelier scene with food, drinks, and the weekend drum circle is just a short beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 60 yards south.
The Location No car needed. Nestled on a quiet street with no traffic, businesses, or public parking. Walk 7 minutes to Siesta's top eco-adventures—boat, bike, jet-ski, and fishing tours. Prefer to relax? Sunbathe on the balcony, nap in a hammock, or enjoy Siesta's top-rated seafood, ice cream, and waterfront dining. Just a short stroll to favorites like Daiquiri Deck, Sniki-Tiki, Crescent Club, and Orange Octopus.
Reef Snorkeling Siesta Key is already paradise—now add one of the Gulf Coast's best snorkeling spots! Just 60 yards south, Point of Rocks offers safe, shallow waters filled with tide pools, colorful marine life, and shelling treasures. Most days you'll spot chameleons, sponges, mother-of-pearl shells, conch, and maybe even dolphins or turtles. Ideal for exploring by foot, snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak.

This vacation rental was wonderful! Excellent communication from the owner and very easy access to beaches, attractions, and surrounding towns. Everything was clean and comfortable. Great amenities with beach chairs, kayaks, paddle boards, towels, etc. We were able to just show up and relax!! We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great location, Clean and comfortable accommodations!
Very clean cottage located very close to the beach. Just steps away. Love the chairs outside of the room to relax in the morning and enjoyed having the beach chairs available to us and the umbrella. Wonderful trip with the exception of somebody backing into our car and leaving no information for us to follow up.

So close to the beach!
This was our first time in Sarasota and Siesta Key and we loved everything about this property! It is so unique and we enjoyed being so close to the beach and to Siesta Key village but we really liked that the neighborhood is so quiet! The unit had everything we needed and we strolled the beach each day and enjoyed walks to the Village and down Midnight Pass. We want to stay here again!

Point of Rocks!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great property! The unit was clean, comfortable, quiet, and so close to the gorgeous beach! Access to both Siesta Key Village and Sarasota is so convenient! We love the quaint beach vibe feel of the neighborhood! We enjoyed beach walks as well as a long walk along Midnight Pass Rd. We especially liked paddling out to Point of Rocks and then getting ready to head for dinner. This place can't be beat and we will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend!
The Old Man and the Sea Inn is in a great location especially for the price. With beach access so close it made going to the beach and back for a quick bite to eat so easy. Perfect size for 4 adults or children. All the amenities were great from the washer and dryer to the beach chairs and umbrellas. The only complaint would be that the thermostat would automatically go to 78 to 80 degrees at certain times and at night that made it uncomfortable to sleep unless you woke up to turn it back down. It has a passcode that prevented us from stopping it from doing that so that was slightly annoying. Other then that we really enjoyed our stay and fully intend on going back.

Great value
We stayed two days at this cute little apartment. Location is right next to the beach. Although the building is old and it's a pretty small space and street area, it was clean and the price was right. Dan is a great host and always takes care of us at his other properties as well.

Great location!
In addition to a great location the apartment was clean and well cared for. It is a small place, one bedroom, queen bed but with the cot and pullout sofa could accomodate 5. The place has every amenity one vould ask for including beach chairs and umbrella which was wonferful. The beach is a 3 minute walk. White powder sand,peaceful blue water. Very handy to many beaches, restaurants and shopping. We loved it! It seemed small when we got there but the location and smenities made it truly a great place to stay. Couldn't ask for more

Great10/10 – Excellent stay!
The apartment was very clean, quiet, and fully equipped with everything we needed. It's located on a peaceful street just a short walk to the beach via a sandy path. Beach chairs, umbrella, and towels were provided, which was a nice touch.
Having a private parking spot was convenient, and the location is great—within walking distance of restaurants and the bus stop to Siesta Key Village. The beach was absolutely beautiful with soft white sand and clear water.
Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Perfect Stay
Excellent stay for my husband and I. We loved the location and how close it was to the beach. We explored other areas of Siesta Key, Sarasota, Venice Beach, and Anna Maria Island. The location was great for getting to all of these places. There were great restaurants and things to do nearby. The unit was very clean and had space for us to make breakfast each day and relax. We took a walk on the beach each morning right across the street. Dan (the owner) was very nice and great with communication. We will definitely come back!

Great location and wonderful stay
We had a great stay overall. Daniel the owner was very hospitable and made sure we were taken care of during out stay. We loved that is was just walking steps to the beach and also to restaurants and bars. I also loved that they included a bottle of wine and two waters as complimentary add ons to the stay! The property also has umbrellas and chairs for use at no cost so that is very much appreciated. Thanks again and we hope to be back soon!
This property was so close to the ocean,just a short walk.. Beautiful and in the prettiest neighborhood. Friendly and the condo was perfect and one of the cleanest and im looking forward to next years Birthday so i can book a stay at Seista Keys.. Thank you for one of the best Birthday
Great stay, Property manager was great and got back to text in timely manner. Walls were paper thin, could hear the neighbor playing video games and talking like he was in our condo.
This property is in a great location with shortest distance to the beach. Our whole family enjoyed the stay.

This is the perfect little suite for a couple. We had everything we needed. When our blender didn't work, it was quickly replaced. Dan is the most attentive host and his staff extremely helpful and friendly. We can't wait to go again!
