City - Siesta Key

The island neighbor to Sarasota, the city of Siesta Key is a lively suburb and tourist destination filled with seafood joints, bars, cafes, and upscale rentals with oceanfront views. Though the cost of living is a little higher in Siesta Key, it’s easy to see why. This coastal oasis blends a family-friendly atmosphere with a happening nightlife scene, offering something for every type of renter. From Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar to the Siesta Key Oyster Bar, seafood restaurants are this city’s specialty.

Locals enjoy visiting the Daiquiri Decks in both Siesta Key Village and South Siesta Key. Though the city’s restaurants and bars keep tourists and residents happy, Siesta Key Beach is the main event. The white sand, clear waters, and welcoming community make Siesta Key the family-friendly tourist destination that it is. But this city is more than just a summer vacation getaway.
