The Location - This will be “easy” just like vacations are supposed to be. This is an Ocean/Beach View unit on a quiet tropical street just 1 to 2 minutes walk from the yard to Beach Access 11. It's a 2-minute golf cart ride or a 3-minute bike ride to the Siesta Village for fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts. The beaches here have panoramic views of the gulf with wide open exposure to the North-West-and-South. The top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. Your Oceanview patio seating area is also quite amazing. The water is shallow clear and calm, perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can swim or “often” wade to white-quartz-sandbars, popular with dolphin's sand-dollars and “occasionally” giant-conch. This is the spot on Siesta where you can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shirt and shoes.

History – When I was a kid growing up on Siesta Key, this beach access was called “The Wall” and named for a large (long since gone) concrete wall that once supported the island's first home in the renowned "Sarasota Modern" style. It was an attractive destination and still is because of the lively public beach to the left, the quiet more private beach to the right, and panoramic views to the south west and north that make it one of the islands best places to watch sunsets.

Bear Gear - Correction for Air-b-n-b listings. We provide beach towels and beach chairs at every location, umbrellas and carts at most locations, and do not provide "snorkeling gear" at any locations. Sorry for the confusion. Snorkeling gear can be rented or purchased nearby.
