Perfect Local In Village,1 1/2 Block From #1 Beach In USA, Pool, Wifi, Sun & Fun
Happy Clam has just undergone a significant makeover and upgrade. It is better than ever!
Absolutely, amazing condo in a perfect location! Welcome to Happy Clam! Attention to detail throughout, clean, and relaxing. Perfect in every way! This newly remodeled gem is 1 block from the pure white sands of Siesta Key Beach and 1/2 block from Siesta Key Village. Where the gulf waters meet the sand and the sand meets the Village.
Swim in a beautiful heated pool at the complex designated for guests only. It is rarely crowded and conveniently located directly behind the condo.
Happy Clam is small but spacious with a fully stocked kitchen, if you choose to cook. If cooking is too much work then you are a very short walk to 26 restaurants in the Village where music and fun accompany some of the best fresh seafood, ethnic delights, and amazing ice cream.
And the Beach, it is a very short walk down the street from Happy Clam. Siesta Key Beach has just been rated again by "TripAdvisor" as the #1 beach in the USA and the #4 beach in the world. The Ultra-white 99% quartz sand is the best in the world. Never hot on your feet and silk-like in feel. Beach chairs, cart and umbrellas provided.
More fantastic restaurants a short drive away in Sarasota, just off the Key.
World-class shopping at St Armand's Circle, a quick 2O minutes away! It is an experience you will not want to miss. There is nothing like it!
Visit The Ringling of Ringling Circus fame. Sarasota has long been the winter home of the famous circus company. The Ringling facility includes eclectic collection of Baroque art, the Museum of the Circus, a thirty-room mansion, the historic Asolo theater from Venice, and some 60 acres of unparalleled gardens.
If you decide that you would like to visit Walt Disney World, Happy Clam is just 2 hours away. You definitely can do it in a day trip!
Just one more thing: At the end of our neighborhood is a breathtaking beach and a lot of water...enjoy!

We absolutely love this VRBO. The location was perfect for us - so close to the village and beach accesses. The home was spotless clean and beautifully decorated with every possible visitor needs. Great private outdoor space, all the beach amenities needed and a spacious outdoor pool with access to a laundry. We were beyond impressed and cannot wait to go back!Michele
HappyClam was the most thought out and well appointed vacation home we've ever rented. And location is great.

The Happy Clam is the cutest condo with the best location on Siesta Key! It's in the nice quiet Village West association and very convenient for walking - just a block from Siesta Key Village and two blocks from the quiet end of Siesta Key Beach.

The word WOW comes to my mind . This condo is beautiful inside. Everything is very new, and it has everything you need for your stay . The bed is very comfortable.

Everything about this place is great! The location is perfect. Its within walking distance of both the beach and downtown (it's actually a stones throw away from the main drag). The place is beautiful and kept in great condition. There are several amenities that they provide that you would have to find elsewhere at other places (such as beach supplies). We didnt have any issues that required reaching out to the owners during our stay. But the communication we had leading up to our stay was wonderful. I would most definitely recommend this place.

Everything in this beautiful and tasteful rental was perfectly clean and organized. The layout of the space was thoughtfully designed and made every task so easy. We prefer to cook mostly at home as opposed to going out, even on vacation, and everything we needed was available and within armโs reach. We loved the proximity of both the gorgeous beach and Siesta Key Village for shopping and occasionally dining out. What a wonderful stay we had! Sharen and Charlie could not have been more responsive or hospitable! 10 out of 10!

This was an amazing place to stay! The location is incredible to be able to walk to both the Village and the beach! The pool is also so great as is the convenient parking space. The hosts thought of all of the details - the place is filled with great touches (full kitchen, linens, bath, full set of beach day equipment, games, their Where Is info sheets). Very clean and bright space that feels higher end!! Hosts had excellent communication. Highly recommend for a couple or small family!

Amazing place to stay in Siesta Key!!! The check in process was smooth. The owners were excellent with communication & kept us week informed about getting into the unit and all it has to offer. It was extremely clean & very well decorated. The kitchen has everything you need!! They have all the best top quality items for you to use for the beach. The beach umbrella they have was amazing & the wagon made it easy to bring all the things to the beach. The pics they show online are accurate of the property. And having a well maintained pool right there was very convenient. Siesta Key is our favorite beach destination & weโve stayed in many locations/properties - the Happy Clam is now our favorite place to stay!! We hope the availability lines up with our future trips here. And we need to find anchor #10!
We had a wonderful stay at this place - it is so nice, clean, great location, it was perfect!

The house is beautiful with an all-new, top-notch interior including a completely equipped kitchen. We loved that it is 1 1/2 blocks from the Village, in a very nice quiet neighborhood. We spend much of our time in the cute, comfortable patio. When I had a question, the Irelands were very helpful and friendly. We have been to SK many times and this is our favorite house. We will be back! Laura
