Siesta Key has been voted the number one beach in Florida for many years and it is easy to see why. The crystal blue waters gently lap along one of the only beaches in the world with 99 percent pure quartz white sand. The sand miraculously stays cool even during the heights of summer. A holiday to Siesta Key should include plenty of beach time but also be sure to enjoy other things to do such as paddle boarding, snorkeling or even kayaking through the mangroves. You could rent bicycles and traverse the beach or head to the shops at Saint Armand Circle in nearby Sarasota. There are also botanical gardens nearby and much more. With all of these activities, we’re sure you’ll want to rest your feet and head in the most relaxing and welcoming accommodation. Don’t worry, there are plenty of hotels and vacation rentals in Siesta Key to accommodate you. We’ve compiled this list of the best Airbnbs in Siesta Key, Florida. Read on and start planning your dream holiday.
