Siesta Key Serenity — A Coastal Home in Perfect Balance

A light blue two-story house with white trim sits by the water in Sarasota, featuring a dock, palm trees, a sandy area with blue Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, and a large patio with outdoor seating. The weather is clear.

Some homes seem to exhale calm—and this one does so in perfect, powder-blue harmony. From the water, its façade catches the light like sea glass, soft and luminous against the palms. The metal roof gleams, the white trim is crisp, and every line of its wraparound balconies feels intentional yet easy, like a house that knows how to breathe.

There’s a quiet rhythm to the setup: the turquoise Adirondacks on the dock, the cushioned patio chairs tucked under palms, even the pair of dark umbrellas standing sentry by the pool. You can tell this house was designed not just to impress, but to be lived in—to watch dolphins pass with your morning coffee or to sit in stillness while the bay turns gold at dusk.

I love the continuity of color here: the blues of the siding, the chairs, the water itself. It’s as if the house wanted to become part of the view rather than compete with it. That’s something I’ve always admired about Siesta Key design when it’s done right—homes that lean into the horizon instead of trying to rise above it.
