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

Happy Clam is currently in the middle of a significant makeover and upgrade courtesy of hurricane Helene. We are hoping to be completed by end of December-early January. Thank you for your patience. It will be better than ever, thanks to our designer, Joe Clark! New photos will follow.

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 nearly 20 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 #5 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 1 hour and 50 minutes 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!

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.

This was our second stay at Happy Clam and just as amazing as the first! Super clean, bug free, close to everything (literally), kitchen is fully stocked, as well as the beach shed! You name it, they’ve thought of it. If you’re looking for the best place to stay on Siesta Key, this is it. We will definitely be booking again! ALSO, have fun trying to find all ten anchors. You’ll understand what I mean once you walk in the door. Thanks again, Irelands! 🏖️

This wonderful space has everything you could possibly need and more!! Space, comfort, pool, and every cooking utensil and every piece of cookware you can think of and some you can't, like the indoor grill!! The fold out sofa is the most comfortable I have ever slept on...no bar in the middle and all memory foam! The hosts, Charlie and Sharen, have absolutely thought of everything! We will be back!!

First Trip to Siesta Key Village
We really enjoyed our stay at Happy Clam. It was very clean and close to the beach. Normally we don’t stay anywhere without a washer and dryer, but we used the coin operated laundry while at the pool on our last day. It was so nice to walk to restaurants and the sunset every night. Charlie and Sharen were great communicators, and I look forward to staying there again on the future.

In the Heart of ALL Siesta Key
We had an AMAZING time at this location. The property itself has every amenity you could need on a beach trip. Modern decor and appliances. Easy parking right next to the unit. The location is spectacular. A five minute walk to the beach and a two minute walk to every restaurant, shopping and conveniences that you may need while staying. The hosts were amazing. The couple of minor questions I had were answered within minutes. I cannot say enough. If you go to Siesta Key this is the place to stay.

Incredible “Pearl” in Siesta Key Village
Happy Clam is top notch and met all of our expectations. The organization of this VRBO was outstanding and has so many extras (beach gear, few extra toiletries etc) compared to other places we have stayed. The location is perfectly located in proximity to the restaurants/bars and the beach. We stayed right on strip during our last trip and wasn’t sure if we would like being off strip but it was the perfect combination for us.

Perfect location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the beautiful updated Happy Clam condo on Siesta Key! This is the third property we’ve stayed in at Village West and the nicest by far! Charlie and Sharen nailed the beachy/coastal casual look. Just a block from Siesta Key village and a few blocks from the beach, the property has a very inviting pool with plenty of lounge chairs onsite as well. It’s where very congenial owners and other guests met and visited. We felt very comfortable and welcomed there and are looking forward to our 2025 stay already!
