About Deb Torchia
We live in Massachusetts and consider our beautiful Siesta Key condo our home away from home.
Deb Torchia purchased this Condo in 2012
Why Deb Torchia chose Siesta Key
This is not your typical vacation rental. This is our vacation home and we have renovated and decorated it to be enjoyable and comfortable. Located on Little Sarasota Bay you can relax and watch the sunrise while sitting on the docks drinking your morning coffee. Then in the evening take your glass of wine across the street to sit on the beach and watch the glorious sunsets that Siesta Key beaches are known for. It is an idyllic setting, quiet and private, yet just minutes away from Siesta Key Village and the #1 beach in the US, Siesta Key Beach. You will truly enjoy the best of both worlds here at Bay Tree Club.
What makes this Condo unique
1) Bay Tree is a 'beach to bay' community which means you have direct access to both the Intra-coastal Waterway (boat slip is available) and a private beach on the Gulf of Mexico. 2) We have a private beach cabana filled with chairs and umbrellas right at our beach so you never have to pack pack up and haul your gear to the beach. It is all right there for you including bathrooms and outdoor showers. (There is no other condo in the area that has private cabanas) 3) The beautiful landscaping is what set this property apart for us. It is like a tropical island retreat!

Perfect accommodations!
We stayed for a month in this unit and could not have been happier! It was recently re-modeled making it very open and spacious. It is so tastefully and beautifully decorated with upgrades! We spent so much time on the lanai which has a beautiful view of the pool and the Bay. It was especially pleasant in the evenings with decorative lighting and bay breezes!
The condo and kitchen were fully stocked with everything we needed including spices and some condiments.
The canbana had everything needed for comfort on the beach!
I would definitely go back, only I’d stay longer!
Thank you for giving us a perfect getaway!
Suzanne, it was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I hope there will opportunity for you to stay again soon!

Very nice condo
This is a nice place for a relaxed stay on Siesta Key. The furnishings and appliances are either new or like new and very good quality. The only disappointment was the lack of a washer and dryer in the unit itself, which was assumed and surprisingly missing in a condo in this price range. We had to use the coin-operated washer and dryer located next to the elevator which was very inconvenient for a family of 4 staying for a full week. Otherwise, no complaints. These condos are on the quiet end of the island but the free Siesta Key Breeze trolleys pass right by the condo every 15 minutes (until midnight) which makes it a cinch to travel anywhere on the island.
A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Best vacation we ever had! Condo is amazing, clean and has awesome views! Beach not crowded at all, very peaceful and relaxing!!
Thank you, Paul. We are glad that you enjoyed the condo and appreciate you taking such good care of it. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

We will be back
Thank you Deb for sharing your beautiful condo at Bay Tree with us for three weeks this past April 2016. It was perfect. A close walk to the beach and a few restaurants near Turtle Beach. It is decorated beautifully. It is quiet, the grounds and pools lovely and everyone is very nice. Turtle Beach is beautiful --- and a walk each day on the beach was a daily ritual. Everything you need is there. It was like our home away from home. We wish we could have stayed longer --- but our son's wedding called us away. Deb is a wonderful owner and we look forward to staying in her condo again. Thank you for everything Deb. We love Siesta Key!!!
A happy couple from Northville.
So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking such good care of our condo while you were there.
Beautiful Condo in a Wonderful Location
My husband, brother and I stayed in the condo as we were in the Sarasota area for a family reunion. The condo was beautiful, yet homey and comfortable. The location was ideal! Deb gave us a list of suggested restaurants and things to do which was very helpful. We rented bikes and enjoyed riding to Clayton's for brunch most mornings. I would rent this condo again in a heartbeat if we are in the area for an extended period of time. Thanks Deb for sharing your home away from home with us! Brian & Cheryl
Great Vacation
Deb,
Thank you and your husband for opening up your Florida home to us. You have a beautiful condo, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with spectacular views of the intercoastal, pool and easy access to the beach accross the street. We had a great time renting bikes with the kids, hanging at the beach, and kyaking. Your restaurant recomendations were great too!
Thanks again,
The Kelly's
Map
The island of Siesta Key is an eight-mile long barrier island just off the coast of Sarasota on the gulf coast of Florida. On the island's west side are the calm waters of the Gulf and Siesta Key's glorious white sand beaches. To the east is Sarasota Bay and Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) waterway that runs along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States.
Ranked number one in the world in 2011 by Dr. Beach, Siesta Key Beach is the beach benchmark for which all other beaches are judged. Miles of fine white sand stretch along the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico on Siesta's western shore, perfect for blemish-free sandcastles, long walks, or a soft place to soak up the sun. For something different, try the more laid-back atmosphere at Crescent Beach in the middle of Siesta Key, or find fertile ground for shell collecting at Turtle Beach on Siesta's southern end (where we have a private beach cabana).
On the north end, a short walk from one of Siesta's large expanses of public beach, lies Siesta Key Village. In the village's quaint few blocks you'll find dozens of shops that cater to the island lifestyle, offering necessities like groceries and hardware alongside souvenirs and bathing suits. Siesta Key Village restaurants -- most with large, open-air dining -- range from pancake and egg joints to award-winning fine dining spots. No matter how fancy, though, dress codes are always casual.
Down at the south end of Siesta Key you'll find more restaurants, shops and public beaches, as well as marina and boat rental facilities. Within minutes, you can putter in a pontoon boat or slice through waves in a high-powered jet ski. Or exercise more than just your sense of wonder by renting a bike or a kayak to explore the island on your own.
