Parrot Beach Cottages Suite #3 Parrot Beach Cottages on Siesta Key is mere steps - approximately 150 feet - from the beach and the emerald water, situated just behind the waterfront properties and within walking distance of Siesta Key Village. Suite #3 is ideal for up to two adults and two small children, with one king bedroom, one bathroom, a queen-size sleeper sofa, and a kitchenette in its 350 square feet of living space. This cozy suite is located on the second floor at Parrot Beach Cottages, up a flight of approximately 12 steps. It's a small and intimate space, so if you're using the sleeper sofa (which has a thin mattress and is really only suitable for small kids), you'll likely want to stow it during the day to maximize the living room. The bathroom is accessed through the bedroom and is snug in size as well, with a single sink, a toilet, and a stand-up shower (but no bathtub). There's a small shared deck outside with two chairs, a community pool, as well as one reserved, off-street parking spot for your ease and convenience. This suite is mere steps from one of the top white sand beaches in the world. In fact, beach access is so close, you'll hear the waves from home base! This area of the beach is a favorite for sunbathing, swimming, romantic sunset walks, small beach weddings, skim boarding, paddleboarding, kayaking, shore fishing, and much more. Fishermen catch everything from snapper and mackerel to snook and jacks. You'll be within walking distance of a number of businesses that rent all sorts of gear, from kayaks and paddleboards to bikes and video game systems. Due to how close the complex is to the beach, several rental outfitters will bring kayaks, paddleboards, and bikes right to the property and pick them up when you're done! The suite is also within easy walking distance of Siesta Key Village, where you'll find shops, restaurants, live music, and more. Or, head into town for other local adventures, including the world-renowned Ringling Museum, the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Mote Marine, Jungle Gardens, and outdoor shopping and dining on St. Armands Circle.
