About this property
Cottage Across The Street From #1 Beach
The Siesta Key Beach Cottage is located right on Beach Rd directly across the street from the #1 Beach in the USA. Walk out the front door and walk across the street to beach access #7 and you are on the white powder Beach of Siesta Key.
If you're looking for some lunch after a day at the beach, go out the front door of The Siesta Key Beach Cottage and stroll around the corner up to the Village. There you will find any type of food you can imagine. If the sun has made you thirsty there are plenty of options to grab your favorite cocktail while listening to live music while sitting outside.
Take the beach cruiser bikes provided at the Beach Cottage and bike down to the north end of the beach. There you will reach an old concrete pier you can walk out on and watch sunset. Beach Cruisers are the best way to get around. Park the car and throw away the keys. Walk or bike around the Key........leave the car at the Beach Cottage!!!!

About the host
Hosted by Dave Kessel
Dave and Tricia Kessel.
We are the owners of the Siesta Key beach cottage. We live in Sarasota on 5 acres with our 6 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats. Dave is from Michigan and Tricia from Missouri.
Why they chose this property
Dave has been coming to Siesta Key his whole life. He lived on the Key right out of college from 94 to 97. When Dave met Tricia they would drive up to Siesta Key for long weekend vacations. Then in 2010 we purchased our first beach cottage unit 1 in Siesta Shores. Then unit 2 became available Kessel's made it theirs in 2026.
What makes this property unique
One of the main benefits of the beach cottage is location. You can walk every where. The beach is across the street The Village is around the corner. Another benefit is the unit itself. It is continually updated inside. From towels to dishes to furniture.
Most important is the cleanliness of the cottage. We clean the cottage after every guest ourselves....deep clean every time. Dave and Tricia are the cleaning crew we do not hire a company.
