A compact, beautifully simple suite. A queen bed, a small kitchenette, a private bath. Ideal for a couple's long weekend or a quiet solo retreat between book signings.
Siesta Key · Sarasota · Florida
Twenty refurbished villas on the world's #1 beach. A heated pool, a Roman-style courtyard, and the kind of quiet you can only find at the end of a long sandy path. Family-owned since 1979.
Welcome to Beachaven
Siesta Key is famous for its sugar-white sand and the way the Gulf reflects the sky in the late afternoon. Beachaven sits quietly at the heart of it — twenty self-contained villas wrapped around a courtyard and a heated pool, two minutes on foot from the water.
Most of our guests have been coming back for years. Some of them tell us their grandchildren were born after their grandparents first booked Unit 21. We like that.
"Beachaven isn't a resort. It's the place we go to remember what we like about each other."
— Karen & David · Returning since 2011
The Villas
Every villa has been refurbished. Three floor plans, light variants in each. We'll match you to the one that fits — by size, view, or quiet preference.
A compact, beautifully simple suite. A queen bed, a small kitchenette, a private bath. Ideal for a couple's long weekend or a quiet solo retreat between book signings.
A separate bedroom, a full kitchen, a living area that opens out onto the courtyard or pool. The most-requested layout — by a long way.
Two bedrooms, two full baths, a full kitchen and a generous living area. Family-sized. Several variants face the Gulf side; one is fully wheelchair-accessible.
Every villa, on video
We've filmed a slow walk-through of every villa — every room, every angle, every view from the window. So when you click "Check Availability," you already know exactly which corner you'll be reading in.
On the property
Small, deliberate, well-loved. No water park, no chlorine, no plastic palm trees.
The location
Siesta Key Beach has held that title from Dr. Beach more times than we can count. The sand stays cool underfoot at noon. The water is the same impossible turquoise as the postcards. The village — with its restaurants, ice cream, and live music — is a short walk in the other direction.
From the guestbook
"We've been to Maui, Greece, the Maldives. We come back to Beachaven because Ania remembers our daughter's name."
"Unit 21 has the best afternoon light I have ever sat in. I write better there than I write at home."
"The grandkids called it the 'castle pool' and refused to leave. We finally booked the same week next year."
