The screened-in covered lanai is the perfect place to relax, with sweeping views of Heron Lagoon—one of Siesta Key’s hidden natural treasures. This lanai is where you’ll want to start and end your day, taking in the lush tropical surroundings while the peaceful water gently reflects the light of stunning sunsets.
Step outside onto your private wooden dock, which stretches over the tranquil waters of Heron Lagoon. This is your personal paradise for fishing, birdwatching, or simply sitting back with a good book while soaking in the serene beauty that surrounds you. For water lovers, the lagoon is ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, or canoeing, with easy access right from your own backyard.
The cottage is designed to let you live the ultimate island lifestyle. The lushly landscaped surroundings offer a private, tropical oasis, with a sense of seclusion that’s hard to find. And yet, you’re just minutes from the action! The iconic Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach are both nearby, offering world-class sand and surf for those who love to bask in the Florida sunshine. Plus, the island’s convenient trolley system picks up right outside your door, making it easy to explore all the vibrant local spots Siesta Key has to offer.
Heron Lagoon, where this cottage sits, is an idyllic, calm waterway brimming with natural beauty. The lagoon’s still waters make it perfect for peaceful activities like paddleboarding or kayaking, offering a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle. It’s also a paradise for nature enthusiasts, with the opportunity to see native wildlife up close—whether it’s herons wading through the shallows, manatees passing by, or fish jumping from the water. And when the day winds down, you’re in for a treat—the property is perfectly positioned to capture some of the most epic, colorful sunsets over the lagoon, providing a tranquil close to each day.
Beyond the natural beauty of Siesta Key and Heron Lagoon, you’re just a short drive from the vibrant, culturally rich city of Sarasota. Known as the “Cultural Coast, ” Sarasota is home to world-class theaters, art galleries, museums, and restaurants. Whether you want to explore the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, enjoy a performance at the Sarasota Opera House, or shop and dine at the famous St. Armands Circle, you’re never far from exciting activities and entertainment.

It offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility, making it the ideal retreat for those looking to enjoy the best of both island living and Sarasota’s cultural offerings.
