About this property

Not your Grandmothers Beach House

Stay where the Ringling Brothers Circus used to house their performers... but now in a magnificent fully renovated beach house. Walking 4 blocks to Lido Beach and to St. Armands circle full of fabulous restaurants and shopping. The nature preserve around the corner makes renting kayaks for a beautiful tour easy. This house is perfect for a couple or family escaping to warmer weather but demanding an up to date, hip and IMPECCABLY clean home. Enjoy a glass of wine or two on the outdoor patio and enjoy the palm trees in the yard.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

Hi! We loved this beach house with the fantastic history of Ringling Circus. We purchased it in 2020 and it underwent a full renovation to get it to 2021 standards of decor. You will feel right at home when you walk in and the area and location could not be better. We have stayed with our family and have been the only ones in the property so far. This is perfect for a family of four or a couple just wanting to escape!

Why they chose this property

Its the only one we have seen on the island at a reasonable price point that is completely up to date. This property isnt dated but you also get the old world charm with the history and the ability to walk everywhere.

What makes this property unique

WALKABLE to everything! And 15 min drive from the Sarasota Airport. You can't beat it.
