Unique Benefits

Where you stay in Siesta Key really matters - the location and value of Siesta Chillin is second to none! We looked at every condo complex on the Key and chose our unit at The Anchorage. Other condo units of similar size, luxury, and amenities will cost more, have less space, are a 1/4 mile or more from beach access, or require driving to simple conveniences like groceries and restaurants. For added safety, the complex has secure building access with interior corridors.

The sunrise from Siesta Chillin's balcony is absolutely breathtaking! You can rejuvenate your mind and soul as you relax and enjoy your hot beverage while watching the sun come up. The large sliding glass door to the balcony and southern exposure keeps the condo bright and when open creates an indoor-outdoor living room. Another unique feature is that each bedroom has a large sliding glass door which is like a wall of windows with balcony access. The condo is very spacious with a noticeable absence of clutter to create a relaxing environment for our guests. Your car can also take a vacation - Siesta South Village is only a short walk to everything you need including groceries, cocktails, supplies, and some of the best dining venues on the key.

Why Kids Love It

Young kids love being in the water. The Anchorage pool is fabulous and one of the largest on Siesta Key. Crescent Beach has wonderful crystal blue waters that is shallow near the shore and one of the safest in the country for small children. The powdery white sand is perfect for building sandcastles. Kids also love ice cream and there is plenty of it in Siesta Key!

Teenagers love Siesta Key too. They can safely roam in groups independently without getting into trouble. No driving is necessary - bicycles and trolleys are easily available.

Area Information

Outdoor activities abound in this area of Florida. Walk the crystal sands of Crescent and Siesta beaches. Boat, bike, and kayak rentals are right across the street with free boat docking available at the condo complex.

We have visited many beaches around the world, and Crescent Beach is truly deserving of its #1 status. The fine white powdery sand feels good on the feet, even on the hottest days. A short stroll from the condo will take you to Point Of Rocks for excellent shelling and snorkeling opportunities. Or get out in a boat or kayak to explore the mangroves and visit with the dolphins and manatee that frequent the inter-coastal waters.

Everything you need for the business of life is available within a two minute walk. The 'South Village' offers restaurants, night life, banking, market, post office, shopping and a pharmacy.
