Perfect Local In Village,1 1/2 Block From #1 Beach In USA, Pool, Wifi, Sun & Fun

Happy Clam has just undergone a significant makeover and upgrade. It is better than ever!

Absolutely, amazing condo in a perfect location! Welcome to Happy Clam! Attention to detail throughout, clean, and relaxing. Perfect in every way! This newly remodeled gem is 1 block from the pure white sands of Siesta Key Beach and 1/2 block from Siesta Key Village. Where the gulf waters meet the sand and the sand meets the Village.

Swim in a beautiful heated pool at the complex designated for guests only. It is rarely crowded and conveniently located directly behind the condo.

Happy Clam is small but spacious with a fully stocked kitchen, if you choose to cook. If cooking is too much work then you are a very short walk to 26 restaurants in the Village where music and fun accompany some of the best fresh seafood, ethnic delights, and amazing ice cream.

And the Beach, it is a very short walk down the street from Happy Clam. Siesta Key Beach has just been rated again by "TripAdvisor" as the #1 beach in the USA and the #4 beach in the world. The Ultra-white 99% quartz sand is the best in the world. Never hot on your feet and silk-like in feel. Beach chairs, cart and umbrellas provided.

More fantastic restaurants a short drive away in Sarasota, just off the Key.

World-class shopping at St Armand's Circle, a quick 2O minutes away! It is an experience you will not want to miss. There is nothing like it!

Visit The Ringling of Ringling Circus fame. Sarasota has long been the winter home of the famous circus company. The Ringling facility includes eclectic collection of Baroque art, the Museum of the Circus, a thirty-room mansion, the historic Asolo theater from Venice, and some 60 acres of unparalleled gardens.

If you decide that you would like to visit Walt Disney World, Happy Clam is just 2 hours away. You definitely can do it in a day trip!

Just one more thing: At the end of our neighborhood is a breathtaking beach and a lot of water...enjoy!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television along with a DVD player are provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

The Happy Clam made us very happy clams!

This was absolutely the most perfect location and place to stay!! Every want or need was already thought of when we stepped through the door. Even a sweet gift was waiting for us at check in!! Easy instructions for check in and check out. Communication with the owners was fabulous! Great parking, the pool area was perfect! Walk to restaurants and shopping in two minutes, walk to the beach in four minutes!!! We are so grateful to have spent our vacation at the Happy Clam!

Better than ever!

We’ve stayed at the Happy Clam several times over the last few years. It’s always great but the updates after damage from Hurricane Milton have made it even better. The new floors and appliances are great and the new bed is super cozy. As always, the location can’t be beat!

Perfect Siesta Key property!

We enjoyed our second stay at the Happy Clam in early March! The condo was already updated and pristine last year, but Charlie and Sharen did some beautiful updates after last fall’s hurricane. It’s the cutest little coastal oasis just a block from Siesta Key village north and a couple of blocks to the spectacular quiet end of Siesta Key Beach!

Fabulous Siesta Key

This was our first time to Siesta Key but it certainly will not be our last. The rental property was so perfect in every aspect. The unit itself was just immaculate and decorated so beautifully. The kitchen had every utensil and item you could ever need. And the location could not be beat. We literally walked around the corner to all the restaurants and shops. Just a great trip all around. Highly recommended!

Lovely home - Perfect location!

This property is beautiful, well equipped and in a perfect location to enjoy all that Siesta Key has to offer. We hardly ever drove the car because everything is within walking distance. The home is stocked full of every appliance or kitchen tool you could need. Everything was top notch and high quality. The hosts were a pleasure to communicate with and were kind. We plan to return!

Week at the beach

This is our fourth stay at the Happy Clam. Certainly, the beaches on Siesta Key are some of the best there is. The unit is always meticulously maintained and has everything you need. The location is the best on the island, in my opinion, as both the beach and the village with restaurants are just a short walk. We have always enjoyed the option of rainy day activities being just a short drive away as well - such as the Mote Aquarium, movie theater, bowling and now Livingston’s Amusement.
