The Sun Dial | Waterfront Home on Siesta Key w/ Private Pool & Large Backyard, Close to Beach!

🌴 The Sun Dial | Waterfront Pool Home + Walk to Beach

💖 Why You'll Love This Home
Nestled on the peaceful canals of Siesta Key, The Sun Dial offers the perfect fusion of luxury, privacy, and adventure. From sunrise coffee on your private balcony to kayaking the calm waterways at sunset, this home was made for unforgettable moments.
With a private heated pool, spacious layout, and just 1 mile from world-famous Siesta Key Beach, every detail is designed for comfort, style, and coastal charm.

👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect For
Ideal for multi-generational families, couples traveling together, or groups seeking high-end comfort with waterfront access.

🎞️ Imagine This...
You wake to the glow of the morning sun reflecting off the water, brewing coffee in your private master suite kitchenette before stepping onto the balcony to watch kayakers drift by. The breeze is warm, the canal still.

Later, everyone gathers in the open-concept kitchen and living area—kids splash in the large private pool while adults sip mimosas under swaying palms. Maybe someone spots the custom sun dial in the garden and snaps a photo—it's little touches like that which make this place feel different.

In the afternoon, you launch a kayak and explore the serene backwater channels, or take the short stroll to Siesta Key Beach (1 mile) for an ocean swim. As the day winds down, the group heads to Siesta Key Village (1.8 miles) for fresh seafood and live music.

Back home, the laughter continues under starlit skies on your private lanai. The Sun Dial isn't just a place to stay—it's part of the story you'll tell.
