ABOUT

This extraordinary waterfront estate, set on nearly three acres of pristine Siesta Key bayfront, is a masterclass in architectural elegance and modern coastal living. Designed by Stofft Cooney Architects and brought to life by Florida West Builders, this 2024 custom-built West Indies-style residence showcases impeccable craftsmanship, curated interiors, and a seamless connection to breathtaking surroundings. With 217' of direct bay frontage and an elevated position for optimal water views, this estate embodies the pinnacle of luxury living. A private, gated entry leads to winding Tabby seashell driveways that guide you to the grand entrance. Flanked by two breezeways, the porte-cochere sets the tone for the estate's sophisticated charm. Thoughtfully designed with meticulous attention to detail, the property includes an oversized three-car garage for the main house and a separate four-car garage under the guest house. Inside, walls of oversized, floor-to-ceiling impact glass frame uninterrupted bay views, bathing the interiors in natural light. Every element, from the European oak hardwood floors in a warm Milano finish to the bespoke cabinetry by Campbell Cabinetry Designs, has been carefully selected for both beauty and functionality. The home's intelligent Control4 lighting and sound system, along with a whole-house water filtration system, enhances everyday comfort. The grand foyer makes a lasting impression with a solid mahogany double-door entry, inlaid cabochon stone squares, and extra-wide solid wood staircase with a stunning Chippendale railing. Designed for effortless entertaining, the great room, with its soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, flows seamlessly into the elegant dining space and showstopping kitchen. This gourmet haven features two expansive islands, custom cabinetry and 3cm Crystallo quartzite countertops. High-end appliances, including La Cornue range and Francois hood, elevate the culinary experience. A butler's pantry and additional walk-in pantry provide ample storage and convenience. The first-floor primary wing is a private sanctuary, accessed through double hideaway jamb doors. It boasts oversized custom walk-in closets and French door access to outdoor entertaining. The spa-inspired en-suite his/her bath, designed around an octagonal vestibule with a barrel-vault ceiling is set against tesserae mosaic flooring by New Ravenna. Upstairs, an open promenade overlooks the main living areas, leading to two en-suite bedrooms, each with custom-built closets and private terraces offering sweeping water views. A lounge with built-in wet bar and exercise suite complete the upper level. A separate guest house offers an intimate retreat with a full kitchen, pecky cypress-paneled living room, and bedroom suite with its own en-suite bath and balcony access. The estate's outdoor spaces create an unparalleled setting for relaxation and entertainment. The summer kitchen, complete with an island, wraparound bar, and fireplace, is enclosed by motorized Jansen storm shutters and roll-down screens. A vanishing-edge heated pool features steppingstones and a separate spa, the perfect ambiance for sunset gatherings. The east side of the property hosts a tennis court surrounded by custom Walpole fence, complete with a pavilion equipped with hurricane shutters and cozy fireplace. For boating enthusiasts, the private dock extends 90' with a floating kayak launch and 20,000 lb. lift capable of accommodating a 34' vessel.

Siesta Key

Siesta Key is packed with amenities including exceptional shopping and dining.

Welcome to Siesta Key

Barrier island with white sand beach ranked #1 in the USA

Siesta Key (zipcode 34242) is an eight-mile-long barrier island with gorgeous quartz white sand beaches surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Siesta Key Beach is ranked the #1 beach in the US and the #11 beach in the world. This island paradise is the perfect destination to enjoy year-round relaxation and rejuvenation. Siesta Key is packed with amenities including exceptional shopping and dining.

Siesta Key offers stunning waterfront homes with easy access to boating and other water-based activities. Housing options on the island include breathtaking contemporary masterpieces and spacious single-family homes in a range of styles. Siesta Key also features comfortable condominium complexes with access to private pools and other amenities.

Siesta Key Market Trends

Current real estate insights for Siesta Key (Updated 2024-2025)

Market Insight: A Tale of Two Markets

The 2025 outlook for Siesta Key shows a distinct split. The luxury sector ($2M+) remains highly resilient, driven by demand for newer, hurricane-hardened waterfront estates. Meanwhile, the condo market ($500k–$1M) offers rising inventory, creating rare negotiating power for buyers looking for vacation rentals or second homes. Canal-front homes in neighborhoods like Siesta Isles are seeing particularly strong interest from boaters.

Neighborhood Guide

Siesta Key Village

The heartbeat of the island. Perfect for those who want walkability to nightlife, boutiques, and the main public beach. Properties here are often colorful bungalows and low-rise condos.

Siesta Isles

A boater's paradise. This deep-water canal community features wide waterways, private docks, and ranch-style homes that have often been luxuriously renovated.

Point of Rocks

Located mid-island, this area is famous for its unique limestone rock formations and private, quiet atmosphere. It feels more secluded and offers some of the best snorkeling on the Gulf Coast.

Turtle Beach Area

The southern tip of the key. Far quieter than the north, this area offers high-rise condos with sweeping views and direct access to a steeper, less crowded beach.

What to Love

  • #1 beach in the United States
  • Island paradise for relaxation and rejuvenation
  • Vibrant "Village" nightlife
  • Boating and water-based recreation
  • Free "Siesta Breeze" trolley service

People & Lifestyle

Living in Siesta Key means having one of the world's finest beaches right on your doorstep. The gorgeous white sand Siesta Key Beach has been recognized by TripAdvisor, the Travel Channel, and other organizations as the finest beach in the United States. The lifestyle is "barefoot elegance"—days are spent on the water or sand, while evenings transition to sunset cocktails and fresh seafood dinners in the village.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Siesta Key is home to many outstanding restaurants ranging from laidback seafood shacks to upscale fine dining.

Fine Dining & Date Night

Summer House Steak & Seafood is the island's premier chop house, famous for its Wagyu steaks and a signature Roasted Chicken that locals rave about. Ophelia's on the Bay offers the most romantic setting on the island, with tables right on the water's edge and a menu highlighting seared tuna and scallops. Café Gabbiano brings authentic Italian to the Village with a 4,000-bottle wine cellar.

Casual & Family Friendly

Siesta Key Oyster Bar (SKOB) is an island institution with dollar bills stapled to the walls, live music, and fresh oysters. Sun Garden Café is the go-to brunch spot—don't miss their legendary sweet potato pancakes. The Old Salty Dog serves their famous beer-battered hot dogs in a pet-friendly, open-air setting.

Shopping

Shopping is split between two hubs. Siesta Key Village (North) offers trendy boutiques like Foxy Lady and Island Trader Boutique. The South Village (Crescent Beach area) is quieter but offers excellent beach gear shops and surf stores like Siesta Key Outfitters.

Things to Do

Siesta Key features multiple beach accesses with beautiful white sands rolling out to the shimmering Gulf. Siesta Key Beach has repeatedly been named the #1 beach in the United States by Trip Advisor. Amenities include the Siesta Key Beach Pavilion. Other beaches include the sea turtle nesting site Turtle Beach and the popular snorkeling spot Crescent Beach.

Hidden Gems & Local Favorites

  • Point of Rocks: Just south of Crescent Beach, this is the only geological rock formation on Florida's west coast, making it the premier spot for snorkeling.
  • Jim Neville Marine Preserve: A hidden maze of mangrove tunnels accessible by kayak. It's a quiet escape from the busy beaches where you can spot manatees and osprey.
  • Siesta Key Drum Circle: Every Sunday evening just before sunset, a community of drummers and dancers gathers on the main public beach for a free, spirited celebration of the sunset.

Schools

While there are no schools directly on the island, Siesta Key is served by some of Sarasota County's highest-rated public schools, located just across the bridge:
