About this property
**Beach, Village, Canal, Dock & Private Heated Pool!!
HERE IT IS! This “one of a kind” property is uniquely situated between the beach, canal, village with a private heated pool, one of the best spots on Siesta Key! This charming 1,500 sq. ft. cottage beach home is being offered for the first time.
If you want a cute, private original bungalow style beach cottage home all to yourself without the shared wall feel of a condo, then you are in the right spot.
Welcome.... From the minute you arrive at the "RCC" (Rad's Cozy Cottage on Canal) in Siesta Village you will soon know you have arrived in a special place. You will be able to completely relax and count this as one of your best vacations or getaways ever!
From the quaint enclosed front porch, you will begin to relax and enjoy your view of the famous Siesta Key canal on the outer rim of "Palm Island," watch the Siesta Village Trolley and people pass by just relaxing.
This is a true Gem in Siesta Key that has new electric and we have painstakingly cleaned, freshly painted, updated kitchen cabinets and new granite counter tops, but still maintains the original Florida bungalow style charm and footprint. This is a 4th generation home of the late Archibald family, who were partially responsible for planned Siesta community and is uniquely built with so much character. This house has the original hard wood floors, with vaulted ceilings in the living room and large bedrooms.
Our cottage home is freshly painted, has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, 1 half bath (plus an additional outside shower which most guests uses as primary shower) This home has all the original Pecky Cypress Cedar walls/ceilings & hardwood floors throughout the very comfortable fully furnished home.
This cottage can handle a 6 person family very comfortably. It has (1) king bed, (2) twin beds and a pull-out sofa bed. It is listed for 6 guests. We charge a fee for every additional person per night with blow up mattress available. Infants 0 to 12 mts. are excluded.
The back yard is very private with heated pool, mature trees and where you never know what exotic bird will show up to visit. Outdoor shower, and additional dining and grilling area make a great place to hang anytime of day.
My favorite, you are perfectly situated footsteps (318 of mine) away from world famous Siesta Key Beach (Access 7,) Siesta Village amenities of shops, restaurants and bars that have live music and no need for a car, but plenty of parking in the horseshoe style driveway.
Fun in the sun:
Whether it's fun on the #1 beach in the USA, relaxation or a little of both, it is all just steps away from our cottage. Want to rent Kayaks or paddle boards for a few days? Arrange for delivery to the house and drop from our private dock in the Canal across the street. Don't forget great shopping and restaurants in the North Village, jump on the Trolley to the South End, or explore downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle via the SCAT Bus just a few blocks away. Don't want to leave, no need. Siesta Market, drug store, wine shop just around the corner. Yep, it's all so close and It's is an island paradise with all the comforts of home.
Special Amenities:
We want you to have all the amenities of home yet experience the joys and relaxation of a truly island vacation, so we have included WiFi, cable and Smart TV's to utilize your movies apps should you be inclined.
Linens, bath & beach towels are all provided. No need to strip beds, wash linens or clean before leaving. Just check out and you are done! However, washer/dryer are available to use during your stay.
For the beach: we have a cooler, beach toys, wagon and beach chairs.
**We are continually adding additional items that can be rented during your stay. Ask for details or special requests.**
Accommodations:
2 bedrooms all are delightfully charming with original character and sleeping accommodations as follows:
Bedroom 1 has a king size bed, TV.
Bedroom 2 has two (2) twin size beds (can be put together for a couple as a second king,) and TV.
Family room, dining area, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, full stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher along with all essentials to make a nice meal or fun drink.
Bathroom 1 has walk in tile shower, sitting area, new toilet and vanity.
Bathroom 2 has toilet and vanity. Hot/Cold private shower just outside in rear.
Why delay? Reserve your dream vacation today on Siesta Key at this one of a kind cottage. This vacation will create memories of a lifetime and we would be honored and privileged to help.
Special Note: Check in 4PM - Check Out 11AM.

About the host
Hosted by Property Manager

We are a family of 5, with 3 boys that all love to travel. While I grew up coming to Siesta Key, Lido and Long Boat Key, we have found Siesta Key still offers the Island experience, Voted #1 Beach, and you never have to leave USA. My wife and I have spent 24 years traveling, capturing what we liked best about all of our vacations in hopes to parlay some of those ideas into a hobby/passion for others to enjoy. We welcome you and your family to enjoy a very special place.
Why they chose this property
While we love new homes and all the amenities new construction or newer homes offer, in a "world of sameness" we wanted something different. Something that resembled the character and emotional connectivity many of the tropical island properties used to deliver. We have been looking for what we define as an amazing property that will eventually deliver greatness. One of the few properties on Siesta Key that has it all, history, a dock, canal access, short term rentals, close to the village, close to beach, plenty of parking and the open concept floor plan. This is it!
What makes this property unique
1,500 square feet, open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, large rooms, the amazing 3/4 inch solid wood siding, original Pecky Cypress walls/ceilings and large double lot. Close to everything including the beach, canal, village and free public transportation.
