When you stay at Crescent Street Manor, you can walk to the east side of Siesta Key in just minutes to catch the sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico. Then later, just before dusk, you can take a stroll over to the west side of the barrier island to watch the sunset!
That’s all thanks to Crescent Street’s prime location. A quiet, sandy walkway will take you to Crescent Beach, renowned for its shimmering quartz sand, and to Point of Rocks. This beautiful spot is popular with novice snorkelers for its relatively shallow water—and with snorkelers in general for its coral formations, fish, crabs, and even the occasional small octopus. When you’re not snorkeling, fishing, swimming or collecting shells, you can paddle-board, parasail, canoe, or kayak.
While Crescent Street’s location is reason enough to make it your Florida home away from home, the three-bedroom retreat has numerous other charms too. As soon as you drive up to the house, you’ll be won over by the leafy palm trees and well-manicured grounds (not to mention the ample parking). Head around to the back and you’ll find a beautifully paved area with a charcoal grill, plenty of chairs and a table for alfresco dining, and perhaps best of all, a heated in-ground pool, just in case the gulf waters are a little too chilly for your liking. And because Crescent Street Manor is a duplex comprised of a two bedroom unit and a one bedroom unit, you can have privacy, while still being able to spend time with your traveling companions.
The two bedroom unit, with its tiled floor, soft color scheme, and large windows framed by shutters to keep out the midsummer heat, and the airy living/dining area is everything you want in a Florida getaway. Curl up in the armchair with your tablet to take advantage of the free WiFi, gather everyone together on the well-cushioned couches to watch a movie on the 60” HDTV with the NFL package included, or sprawl out under the ceiling fan for a well-deserved nap—don’t feel shy; you’
