From the first time you enter The Shells Villa you know this is not a typical vacation home. From the Spanish tile to the beautiful rugs and antique furnishings, you truly feel like a special guest. Walk half a block to restaurants and shopping at the Village on Siesta Key. Enjoy the three levels of gracious living in this Spanish Mediterranean style villa.
Leave your car behind, sheltered in your private two-car garage. Walk out the door and down the private footpath. In seconds you are on one of the most beautiful white powder sand beaches in the world. No streets to cross, no driving, and no looking for a parking place. Our home is literally 230 feet to the beach.
The Shells Villa is decorated with oriental rugs, antiques, and art work from all over the world. But don't worry, the home is equally comfortable for snowbirds looking to beat the winter as it is for families and kids.
