Paradise Found – Siesta Key Condos
Siesta Key is considered by many experts to be one of the best beaches in the world. The Travel Channel consistently gives it five stars out of five stars for swimming, being child-friendly, and for the soft, white sand located there. The island has sand made of crushed coral, but because it is so finely ground it is very soft on the feet. It also never gets hot because it is white, even in the hottest sun. The beach is over 8 miles long and is sand all the way along the beautiful expanses of the Gulf. One of the best ways to enjoy beach living is in one of the Siesta Key Condos that line the beaches.
The condo lifestyle is so laid back and relaxed that it is almost hard to explain. There are high rise condos right on the ocean as well as one level, quaint condos. In the off season you can enjoy the sunset right from your porch. In the warmer months it is fun to join in the sunset festivities at sunset time on the beach. Also, everything you will ever need is within walking distance of the condos at Siesta Key.
Over the last few years the popularity of this barrier island off the coast of Sarasota has grown by leaps and bounds; there are now over 12,000 residents there.

The restaurants and bar are very good, and the food is varied and delicious.
