Direct Gulf of America access · Jamaica Royale Condominiums · Siesta Key, Florida · Sleeps up to 6 · 3 heated pools · Free covered parking

Completely renovated in spring 2025, this bright and welcoming condo sits on a private lane leading directly to the world-famous white sand beaches of Siesta Key — no roads to cross, no crowds to navigate. The complex is revitalizing its landscaping, and the beach itself is as stunning as ever.

Traveling with another family or group? A second property is available just 5 doors away (VRBO #988198). Search that number on VRBO to view the listing.


PRIMARY BEDROOM AND BATH: King pillow-top bed, 42" flat-screen TV, desk/vanity, blackout curtains, and a walk-in shower en suite.

GUEST BEDROOM AND BATH: Two queen pillow-top beds, 43" flat-screen TV, and a full bathroom with tub/shower directly across the hall.

FAMILY ROOM: 60" HD flat-screen TV with Amazon Prime and Netflix available on every television in the unit.

KITCHEN AND DINING: Fully equipped with coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and blender. Adjacent dining table seats 4.

PRIVATE PATIO: Outdoor dining table seats 6 under a 9' umbrella. Located on the quiet side of the complex — perfect for relaxing without pool noise.

LAUNDRY: In-unit washer/dryer. On-site laundry facility also available


PROPERTY AMENITIES:
3 heated freshwater pools · Private beach access · Beach chairs & towels provided · Beach buggy & coolers · Beach toys · 2 BBQ areas with beach-side pavilions · Shuffleboard courts · Free assigned covered parking · High-speed FIOS Wi-Fi · Digital keypad entry (unique code per stay) · Free Siesta Key Trolley stop at the entrance.

LOCATION:
Jamaica Royale Condominiums sits directly on the Gulf of America along Siesta Key Beach — consistently rated one of the top 10 beaches in the world. There is a "free trolley" stop right outside the complex that makes it easy to explore the Key. Tennis courts and a large playground are less than half a mile away at Siesta Key Public Beach, and Siesta Key Village is just 1.3 miles from the property.

The private lane means no through traffic — ideal for families with young children. The beach is always a short stroll, and you'll never need to cross a busy road to get there.

GOOD TO KNOW:
Check-in is targeted for 3 PM. On request, an ozone generator can be run before your arrival to sanitize the unit — this adds roughly 2 hours to prep time. A unique digital entry code is created for each guest stay, so there are no keys to worry about losing at the beach.

Everything about our trip was amazing! The condo was gorgeous and felt more like your home than a rental. Everything you could possibly need was available. The walk to the beach is quick and easy. Having chairs, a wagon, coolers, etc. available was so nice. The trolly to the village was so convenient and we enjoyed all of the restaurants and shops there. We will definitely be back!

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!

About the host

Hosted by René Meyer-North

Host profile image
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.
