SIESTA KEY BEACH VOTED NUMBER 1 IN US 2011 - DR. BEACH!

Welcome to La Dolce Vita - a beautiful, fully-equipped, and furnished, ground-floor Condominium on Siesta Key Island, off the West coast from Sarasota, Central Florida. See why we have renters who return year after year... View a photo slide or virtual tour of the unit and grounds by scrolling down.

Our comfortable, centrally heated and air-conditioned condominium is best suited to 2 people but can accommodate up to 4 (max 2 adults, 2 children) with one king-sized bed and one queen sofa bed. The unit features stunning Mexican tile floors, a lovely and functional galley kitchen which is fully equipped for your culinary delight too. The 3-piece bathroom has been beautifully renovated. All linens are included: sheets, towels, beach towels and chairs etc. There are two digital cable televisions; one VCR/DVD, one DVR; a stereo with CD/Cassette player, Ipod speaker dock/radio and wireless internet access. Community washer and dryer just outside your door. At your home away from home, you also have the use of a large patio, lanai and barbecue.

La Dolce Vita is located at Sandy Cove 3, a 16 unit condo situated on a stunning Gulf front property (shared with three other associations). Many residents live here year round so the pride of ownership is evident - this is no 'revolving door' hotel or motel. This is why short term rentals are not permitted.

Take a leisurely two minute walk down an idyllic tree and flower lined private roadway and enjoy birds singing along the way. When you get to the end you will see our lovely original Old Florida 'Homestead' - legend has it that it was originally owned by the 'Buster Brown' shoe family. It is now used as a Clubhouse for social get-togethers, potlucks and parties. This charming wood sided dwelling overlooks a huge lawn, the Gulf of Mexico, a private fishing pier, and the beach. It is breathtaking to say the least.

Back at home, simply walk out of your door and plunge into the pool (exclusive to Sandy 3) or lounge pool side (and most of the time you will have it all to yourself!). The sun concentrates between the 2 buildings and it is a lovely and warm place to read or snooze. Later on, you can go to the public beach for a long walk or bike ride and to enjoy the sunsets, the colours of which are beyond compare!

Siesta Key is a spectacular island with something for everyone. Cross one of two bridges to the island and vive la différence! Lazy days and relaxation are the norm here! For those looking for some peace and quiet, you've got it; for those who love to fish and swim in the Gulf, you've come to the right place. You can indulge in many cultural events (Sarasota is the cultural capital of Florida) or sporting activities such as bike riding, walking, snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, surfing... Native Drum Circle on Sundays. And but of course, let's not forget golf! Indeed, you can find everything here!

The island has whatever you need without being 'too commercial'. A five-minute walk to Siesta Key Village north and you will find shopping, banking, restaurants, esthetics, souvenirs, and more. Bike riding is easy here - drivers aren't in a hurry to get anywhere because no one wants to leave! Siesta Key has a long fabulous stretch of white sand beach, one of the ten best in the US, designated as having the 'world's whitest, finest sand!' Even in the heat of the day, the 'icing sugar' composition of the sand never burns the bottom of your feet! How is that possible? No exaggeration here - there is natural beauty here no matter where you look. Come see for yourself! For more photos and virtual tour of Dolce Vita, click on the link below. To discover more about the Island and its amenities Google 'Simply Siesta Key.'

Payment accepted through PayPal (add 2.9%) or the old fashioned way if there's enough lead time in United States or Canadian Dollars (appropriate exchange added). $500 refunded damage deposit applies and rental agreement with application must be completed. Rates are based on maximum 2 person/2 child occupancy. 12% Florida tax added to rentals of 181 days or less.

In season rentals (January-April), limited to 3 month stays minimum. If by September a 3 month has not been arranged will consider shorter stays 1 or 2 months. Thank you.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the condo. The proximity to the Siesta Key Village and the world famous Siesta Key Beach is very convenient. The private beach and pier are great for watching the beautiful sunsets or just hanging out. The amenities at the condo are great. Everything is there for you to enjoy your stay. One of the high points is walking out from the back door directly to the pool!

I spent three months at La Dolce Vita and loved every minute of it. The owner was approachable, very generous, leaving many items like spices and cleaning supplies etc. The condo is very attractive, nice neighbors, and having the pool so close by was a treat.

This was our second time staying at La Dolce Vita. The condo is absolutely immaculate and decorated beautifully. We enjoyed being able to step out the door to the pool. A short, lovely 5 minute walk to the beach and pier is nice, too. Danny had success fishing every day. We cannot wait until our next opportunity to visit again.

Many blessings to you, Wendy! Thanks so much for making this piece of paradise available!

We couldn't have asked for a better location - close to the Village, the beach and a fishing pier. The condo was well maintained and equipped. We could tell that Wendy loves her place, and we were pleased to be able to enjoy it for the month of January.

We have spent Jan. & Feb. at La Dolce Vita for the last two years. We find it to be a very pleasant location to spend the cold months. Neighbours are great and it is in a beautiful area--very close to the gulf and Siesta Village.
Owner's Response: Thanks Susan & Frank! You are welcome anytime!

Hi, Wendy! We had such a wonderful time staying at Sandy Cove! Your condo was perfect! We loved the decor and all of the "comforts of home". It truly felt like being at home away from home. Siesta Key is such a beautiful place. It was a blessing to be able to stay at your place for 2 months. La Dolce Vita - yes!
Owner's Response: Hi Donna & Danny,
I was delighted to have you stay at La Dolce Vita and the care you took of my place. You are welcome back anytime.

With warmest regards,
Wendy

Dear Visitor of the "DolceVita" homepage:

The location of the Condominium is perfect. The condominum is located at Sandy Cove and therefore the walking distance to the "Siesta Village" and the Beach accesses are just a few minutes!

The condo itself is very nice and clean and very well equipped. In addition a nice and convenient swimming pool is available in front of the terrace of the condo!

Although, our hombase is in Europe we like to come to Siesta Key frequently for vacation and this time fortunately and luckily we have rented the "Dolcevitasandy cove"!!! Everything was just perfect!

Many thanks to the owner of DolceVita who helped to make our vacation marvellous!

Thanks and best regards,

Tanja and Fritz
