This 2 bedroom, 2 bath tropical garden condo was completely renovated in the spring of 2025 ~ thanks to the floods of 2024. The complex is rebuilding and our landscaping is starting to grow back. There are still a few units being renovated on the interior on our property; but our beach is still as beautiful as ever. We welcome everyone and hope to bring business back to our little Village.
I have another property 5 doors down from this unit. If you are traveling with another family or friends and want to stay in close proximity to each other, please check out this listing VRBO #988198. Simply type this number into the VRBO search engine, and this property will be displayed.
Jamaica Royale Condominiums is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico along the white sands of world-famous Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida. This development is located on a private lane that leads directly to the beach… no through traffic and no streets to cross ~ just stroll to the white sands of Siesta Key Beach. Additionally, there is free, assigned covered parking directly outside the door in the carport... no elevators, no long walks from your vehicle to load/unload, no searching for a space on the other side of the complex. Simple and convenient parking is included with this rental free of charge.
Upon request, I will run an "Ozone Generator" before you arrive. This machine generates Ozone that attaches to airborne pollutants; through the process of oxidization, it breaks down the molecular structure and destroys airborne virus' and germs. This process takes two hours; therefore, it may take a little longer for you to gain entrance. As always, I will make every effort to get you into my condo by 3 PM and will text you when it's ready.
Onto the details about my condo: KITCHEN: It contains all the amenities of home, including coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and blender ~ to name a few. There is a dining area adjacent to the kitchen with seating for four.
FAMILY ROOM: The family room boasts a 60" Hi-Def flat-screen TV and a Hi-Def receiver. I have Amazon Prime and Netflix available inside this condo on each of the televisions.
PRIMARY BEDROOM AND BATHROOM: The primary bedroom en suite has a lush king size, pillow-top bed and a 42" flat screen TV with a hi-def receiver. There is a desk in this bedroom you may utilize for your laptop and/or vanity table! Blackout curtains in this bedroom allow you to sleep in during your vacation. The primary bathroom has a walk-in shower.
GUEST BEDROOM AND BATHROOM: The guest room has two queen-size, pillow top beds and it's own 43" flat screen TV. The full guest bathroom is directly across the hall and has a traditional tub/shower.
LAUNDRY: For your convenience, this unit has it's own washer/dryer! There is also a laundry facility on site.
INTERNET: This condo has dedicated high-speed FIOS Internet with its own private, secure Wi-Fi router.
PRIVATE PATIO: On the patio, there is a dining table with seating for 6 with a 9' umbrella. It is not necessary to cross the main road to reach Siesta Key Beach, which is especially important when you have children! In addition, the quiet location enables you to sleep soundly because the noise from the pool area is inaudible from this unit.
CARPORT: No need to worry about elevators or carrying items a long distance into this condominium! Free assigned parking in the carport directly outside the front door gives you the ability to walk directly into the unit. You don't have to search for a spot close to the entrance! The covered parking also keeps your car protected from the Florida sun and keeps you dry during a summer rain.
DIGITAL LOCK: For additional security, there is a digital deadbolt lock on the front door. Each time a guest leaves, the code is deleted and a new one is created. No keys to pass around among your group; no keys to carry to the beach and worry about losing.
Our development has a private beach area for the exclusive use of Jamaica Royale guests. Beach chairs are provided on this beautiful white sand! We also provide the following for our guests to use for your convenience: beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, a beach buggy to transport your items, and beach toys. The only thing you need to pack is your bathing suit and sunscreen.
Our development has three (3) heated, fresh water pools for you to choose from if you don't want to take advantage of the spectacular beach. There are two (2) BBQ areas you are welcome to use, as well. Grill your meal beach-side, then enjoy it under one of the pavilions on the beach while enjoying a sunset on the beach. There is a second grill near the shuffleboard courts and the pool closest to the front office.
The tennis courts and a large playground are right around the corner at Siesta Key Public Beach. We are less than 1/2 mile from this area where many volleyball tournaments and swimming competitions take place. Remember, Siesta Key Beach is rated as one of the top 10 beaches in the world!
We are located 1.1 miles from the corner of the Stickney Point Road and Midnight Pass Road intersection, and 1.3 miles from Siesta Key Village. There is a bus stop directly outside the complex entrance where you can catch a ride on the free Siesta Key Trolley which rides up and down the Key all day.

Everything was great! Condo is modern & clean. Rene is a fantastic host, easy communication. Condo has EVERYTHING you need for a stay. Beach coolers, wagon, chairs & umbrella. Kitchen is fully stocked, no need to buy a week’s worth of salt/pepper/garlic! 2 minute walk to beach, 1 minute walk to pool.

Thanks to you and your family for taking care of our condo, Dave. It was a pleasure to be your host.
Rene's condo was the best! The location is fantastic and the pool by the beach was wonderful. Her condo was the cleanest we have stayed in on Siesta Key in 30 years. The kitchen was well stocked, the linens were comfortable and the walk-in shower in the master bath was a definite upgrade. There were several "extras" waiting for us when we arrived and Rene was very helpful with any vacation questions we had before and during our trip. We can't wait to come back!
Perfect, as usual! This was my family's third stay at Rene's beautiful condo and we hope to return again. She really has thought of everything and fully stocked the condo with all the necessities and then some. We were happy to see that Jamaica Royale as a whole is in good shape after last year's storms, and were glad to see the lizards and bunnies are still around!

Thank you for the kind review. I haven't seen the bunnies back on the Key yet! I'm happy to hear they've returned. Have a Merry Christmas!
Great Thanksgiving Trip! 10/10Jamaica Royale is wonderful. Three heated pools and private beach access. We had a wonderful time. Unit 95 was fantastic. It was clean and well maintained and had everything we needed for our visit. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Thanks René. We'll be back.

Thank you for the kind words. Our complex has worked hard to come back from the floods of 2024. We are so happy you enjoyed your time here.
LOVED our stay in this condo for our family of 4! It was my husband, myself, 3 year old and 10 month old baby. It worked out perfectly! It had a Pack n Play, 2 strollers, step stools, beach toys/pool toys, a WAGON which was key to haul the kids and toys in to/from the beach. The PRIVATE beach was only 5 minute walk away. We enjoyed the swim pools, grill on-site, patio area with yard to play in. Kitchen and house were completely stocked with everything you need! Beds were extremely comfy! Bathrooms were amazing with a tub for kids and large shower for quick rinse offs. TV's in every room.Easy access to everything with the free Trolley rides and shuttles. No need to rent a car, we just took an Uber from the airport and got groceries/diapers delivered to the condo. Super easy and highly recommend if traveling with kids. Rene was the most amazing host, with constant communication and staged the condo for our stay with kiddos. She's super attentive to details and will make your stay enjoyable! Very appreciative of her! Thank you Rene! We hope to be back again in the future! :)
We had a great stay--the property was a quick walk to the beach and had a great pool right on the water. The unit itself was perfect for our family (me, my husband, and 2 small kids)--well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and living room, great bathrooms, and very clean! Rene and her husband were awesome hosts. We loved the area as well, lots of restaurants etc. nearby. We would love to return!

You are too kind! I know we are still having "plastic surgery" during our hurricane recovery. We will be REALLY pretty next year, hope you consider coming back.
We had a great stay. The location was on a nice beach but also close to the Village. Loved the casual beachy atmosphere of Siesta Key. A great place to visit! Property owner was thoughtful and attentive.

Great place felt like home away from home. The owner Rene` was great and answered questions via text within minutes. I would rate this property 10 out of 10. We hope to stay here again sometime.

About the host
Hosted by René Meyer-North
I grew up in upstate New York 50 miles south of Rochester. My family and I moved to Sarasota in 2000 after living in various parts of Florida the past 20 years. One of the draws to Sarasota County was the Gulf of Mexico and the friendly locals. We have raised our two children here and enjoyed the beautiful environment that this area has provided for us. Our goal is to keep our two condominiums in our family and hand it down to our children to enjoy and vacation together with their children. Hopefully, future generations of our family will care for it and enjoy it long after we're gone.
Why they chose this property
I have owned in Jamaica Royale Condominiums since 2015. I have learned a lot about owning in a condominium complex and have come to appreciate this little community and become friendly with many owners. I have a large family who enjoys coming to Florida to visit. This second apartment will give me the opportunity to host more family and friends.
The location of this development North of the Intracoastal Bridge and within walking distance of the public Siesta Key Beach is ideal. This development is very close to Siesta Key Village, as well. The atmosphere of the village is very welcoming and safe. It's a little town on this little island with quaint restaurants and shops. It offers a relaxing atmosphere for out of town guests and those of us who live here in Sarasota.
What makes this property unique
We chose this property because the development had many amenities that families enjoy: not just one pool but three pools; beautiful tropical landscaping; a private beach area that isn't crowded all the time... We were tired of trying to park at the Siesta Key Public Beach and then carrying all of our beach equipment with small children. Now, we have this property to enjoy for many years to come.
