About this property

Just Steps from Siesta Key Beach – Charming 2-Bedroom Apartment with Patios & Pool

Only 60 steps from the stunning Siesta Key Public Beach, this freshly remodeled 2-bedroom apartment with a DEN is your perfect coastal retreat.

The DEN is a fantastic option for two additional guests, offering a comfortable queen bed. While it provides a cozy and inviting space, please note that it is only partially private and cannot be fully enclosed to maintain proper air circulation for the AC. As such, it is not considered a true bedroom, but it’s a great choice for extra sleeping space in a pinch!

Spanning 1,200 sq/ft, this ground-floor suite comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with a king bed, a queen bed, and an additional queen bed in the DEN.

Recently updated in 2025, the apartment features beautifully remodeled bathrooms and chic, modern furnishings. All bedding is hypoallergenic, ensuring a restful sleep for everyone. With a private patio, you’ll have plenty of space to relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

The suite is fully equipped for your convenience, including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and two flat-screen TVs. Stay connected with free Wi-Fi and enjoy the ease of 2 complimentary parking spaces (stacked behind each other).

Nestled in a small, intimate resort with only two large duplexes, Gumbo Limbo Vacation Rentals offers a tranquil environment and access to a gorgeous black-bottom waterfall pool. Lounge by the pool, or fire up the BBQ for a delightful meal under the sun—everything you need for the perfect vacation.

Come enjoy a relaxing and unforgettable stay just steps from Siesta Key Beach!

Beach Access at its Best

Came for a wedding weekend - quick in and out and couldn’t have asked for a better location with such close proximity to the beach. We were very impressed the property was in great condition given the two hurricanes that came through this season. We also enjoyed the downtown area and would love to go back for a longer stay.

Wonderful little apartment in the best location!

Amazing location, accurate listing, easy communication, ample parking, decent space size for our group, great communal backyard space, and right across from the beach. Just wish there were a few more basic household items to last our stay, otherwise no complaints.
