All you’ll need is your bathing suit, flip flops and sunscreen! This charming two-bedroom, two-bath vintage Siesta Key cottage is the perfect island home or beach getaway. “The garden house” is centrally located on the island, on a dedicated canopy road, blocks to Siesta Village’s unique boutiques and restaurants, near the world-famous powdery white sands of Siesta Key Beach and the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The large, nearly 10,000-square-foot property leads to a spacious front patio entry. A light and bright open floor plan offers fabulous terrazzo floors throughout, a large kitchen with plenty of storage, and living and dining rooms that open to an airy screened porch overlooking the gardens and fully fenced yard; a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the birds sing.
