Resort

9049 Midnight Pass Rd, Siesta Key, FL

Tucked away on the quieter, southern end of Siesta Key along the peaceful waters of Little Sarasota Bay, this independent, Caribbean-style waterfront resort is a complete sanctuary. Known for its laid-back luxury, each private, individually decorated cottage features its own fenced-in yard, a large private outdoor hot tub spa, and a relaxing hammock. Guests can watch dolphins and manatees right from the resort docks, utilize complimentary kayaks and canoes to explore the mangrove lagoons, or walk just three minutes across the road to the Gulf beaches.
