Siesta Key Beachfront Vacation Rentals

Crescent Beach, Siesta Key: Beachfront Rentals Galore

Although it may not appear so, Siesta Key probably has more beachfront vacation rentals than any other island on the lower Gulf Coast of Florida. There is something for everyone, and something for every budget. But without question, there is one thing everyone is here for: miles of gleaming white powdery sand and shallow clear water. That's what Crescent Beach has in excess. Despite the many people that visit every week of the year, the beach never really seems crowded. It's a quiet, family oriented beach, and is so flat that it's perfect for jogging, walking, bike riding, and even pushing a baby stroller. May 2006 has had outstanding beach weather, with daytime temperatures above 70 degrees, sunny blue skies, light to moderate breezes, and beautiful clear 80 degree Gulf waters.

April, May, and June are 3 of the best months to visit Florida. October and November are very good also, and the traffic and crowds are lighter.

If you are thinking of renting a place on the beach on Siesta Key, take a really good look at the Crescent Beach area. Crescent Beach is the area between Siesta Key Public Beach and Point-of-Rocks on Midnight Pass Road. It's about a two mile stretch of pure white sand.

See you on the beach!

Siesta Key Village--Renting Paradise on the Beach

Siesta Key, near Sarasota, Florida, is divided into two very different stretches of beach. Point of Rocks, an unusual outcropping of flat, smooth, limestone rock separates the brilliant white powdery beaches of the northern half of the island from the light brown, soft, shelly sands of the southern half.

Siesta Village is the main center of activity on the northern half of Siesta Key and is withing walking distance of hundreds of beachfront vacation rental cottages, small hotels, motels, low-rise condominiums, and beach houses. To get a feel for Siesta Key, and to read more about why Siesta Key is such a great place why not visit beachhunter.net?
