A GEM on Siesta Key close to Village - 2BR w Balcony, 1945 Triplex 2nd Floor

GEM at Barefoot Bungalows

Welcome to “GEM” at Barefoot Bungalows, located in the heart of Siesta Key. What truly sets this property apart is the location — you’re just steps from Beach Access #2 and #3 and only two blocks from Siesta Key Village. Guests can walk everywhere — beach, dining, nightlife — *no car needed*

This is a second-floor, 2-bedroom, 1-bath villa occupying the entire upper level of this classic 1945 triplex. It offers that “Old Florida” beach cottage charm that’s increasingly rare on the island, especially at this price point. Stairs less to 2. nd floor

King bed in the primary bedroom private balcony

Queen bed in the second bedroom

Full bathroom with shower/tub combination

Open living area with TV and WiFi

Fully stocked kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and Keurig

The private balcony is a standout feature. It gives guests true outdoor space — ideal for morning coffee before walking the beach.

This spot is an absolute gem in terms of location. Steps from the beach and a quick walk to shops and dining. The access to beach chairs, towels, wagon, and cooler made beach time a success. Lisa communicated promptly and was incredibly easy to work with. We’d absolutely stay here again!

This is our 4th time staying in GEM. It is the ideal spot with walking proximity to the beach and the village. So many places are large for several people and this is always great for our family of 3. Lisa is an amazing communicator and responds extremely quick with any questions or needs. Location has onsite laundry available (just bring your own detergent) which is great for doing laundry part way through the trip. Highly recommend!

Proximity to the beach (1-2 mins walk), to shops, restaurants & bars in the village (5 mins walk), and the thoughtful amenities provided by the host to enjoy a beach vacation (cart, beach chairs, towels) made this the perfect place for my family and I. Would love to return!

Clean place. Host was great and made check-in very easy. Love the fresh flowers (nice touch). Super convenient to the beach. Nice to have parking on site. Loaded with beach gear to use- Loved this (wagon, chairs, coolers, towels etc.). Bathroom door- needs help severely! Great spot!! Shared Laundry downstairs is super sketchy (nice to have) but super dangerous- my friend cut her back on some rusty electrical stuff upon entering.
