Island House Beach Resort 1S

Under new ownership, this exceptional unit has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout. All-new premium windows and doors invite the beautiful Siesta Key “beach feel” indoors, while the brand-new, heavily insulated exterior lanai enclosure allows the interior sliding doors to be removed—creating a wide-open, airy layout that feels as though the Gulf breeze is drifting right into your living space. Enjoy the soothing sound of the surf day or night, just steps from the sand.

A brand-new HVAC system provides reliable comfort around the clock. This apartment is uniquely positioned with no shared common walls, offering rare sound privacy. You’ll also enjoy two close, easy-access VIP parking spaces.

Forget the hassle—this ground-floor unit requires no stairs, no elevator, and no FOB for entry, ensuring effortless access for groceries, luggage, and everyday convenience. A free washer and dryer are located just a few steps from the front door.

Inside, this beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo features a spacious primary ensuite with a king-size bed, a guest bedroom with two twin beds, and a sleeper sofa in the living area. The home offers a large living room, dedicated dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with full-size appliances and granite countertops. You’ll also find three large flat-screen televisions and central heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.

Step onto the lanai and take in the gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico—truly spectacular scenery with magnificent nightly sunsets you’ll never forget.


Island House Beach Resort boasts a range of attractive features including:

*A scenic beachfront courtyard with shuffleboard, cornhole, gas grills, and shaded seating areas—ideal for enjoying Siesta Key’s famous spectacular sunsets
*2 beach cabanas and beach chairs for your convenience
*A large, heated swimming pool
*A recreation room with ping pong, air hockey and other games

Hop on the Siesta Key Trolley to visit the vibrant Siesta Village offering a plethora of dining and shopping options.
Feeling adventurous? Explore nearby Myakka River State Park, rent a bicycle to tour the island, or kayak and paddleboard through the mangroves and the newly reopened Midnight Pass on the south end of Siesta Key. Explore nearby Sarasota for its golf courses, gardens, museums, and World Renowned Mote Marine Aquarium. With Tampa Bay just an hour away and Disney World and other Orlando attractions a quick 2.5-hour drive, you have the perfect base for a memorable vacation.

Pack your bags and let Island House Beach Resort make your stay unforgettable!

  We enjoy our stay at Island House! Our home away from home. It’s spacious and clean. Scott at the front desk is very easy and nice to work with if anything comes up. The place is clean and pretty well stocked for whatever you need. We decided to cook a few days and everything we needed was in there. Love that laundry room is accessible. Love the short walk to the beach. The screened porch is awesome anytime of day or night. We love that it’s not noisy around there like most hotels are. Very calm and peaceful area!

  Maureen K from North Huntingdon, PA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  I was an owner for about 40 years at Island House so it was great to see some familiar faces. However my unit for the money I paid was so outdated and not comfortable. I would not want to come back if I had to stay in tha tunit for the money I paid. I was told that I would get anadjustment on my bill but I have not seen that yet. I had talked to Scott. Also the area to wash clothes was not clean. I was always being told what was wrong with my unit when I was an owner and I tried my best to fix the issues. I hope this owner will do the same because his place does not make me want to return to one of my most favorite places

  We rented the unit that we have previously rented at least 8 times. Although the unit is older and in need of some TLC, the location and beach make it #1 in my book! Some general maintenance on the carpet, wallpaper and guest bath is needed, but it was clean and ready for us when we arrived!

  My family has been staying at Island House since the 70's and we absolutely love it. The units vary in upkeep, but typically we have no major issues. 1S is a great unit with awesome views and beach access. It is in need of remodeling, but heard that is already scheduled. The unit is a little different as one bedroom doesn't have an adjoing bathroomm, but no huge issue.

  The location of this apartment couldn't be better! We love Siesta Key and being able to have such a wonderful view and proximity to the beach, is definitely priceless!
  I didn't have any problem with Property Management. I just asked a few questions and they responded right away.
  Now, the apartment needs major renovation! The back doors wouldn't lock, the blinds were not in good shape, some outlets were not working, bulbs needed to be changed, etc. The carpet in the rooms were not my favorite.
  Overall, the experience was great because we had a blast in our vacation, but I would have definitely preferred to stay on a place a little more updated and better taken care of.

  The location of Apartment 1S is more than perfect. Just steps to the white sands of Siesta Key's beach. The unit itself need some updating. The carpeting in the bedrooms needs to be replaced with tiles. The hall bathroom needs upgrades. Not enough wine glasses!!! All of this can be overlooked just by sitting on the lanai and looking at the view. We will be back!
