Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
A tropical pool paradise with glittering bay views awaits you at this private Sarasota retreat.
Nestled along a protected stretch of Sarasota Bay, this spacious getaway is thoughtfully designed for effortless coastal living. A haven for both athletes and professionals, it offers convenient access to IMG Academy—home of the Eddie Herr International Junior Tennis Championship—as well as several MLB spring training facilities. With high-speed WiFi and multiple dedicated workstations, it’s equally ideal for remote work, extended stays, or a mix of business and leisure.
Step out onto the terrace to enjoy stunning sunsets and sweeping Gulf and bay views. Fill your days with fishing, kayaking, or peaceful strolls through a charming neighborhood filled with historic architecture. Sarasota's beautiful beaches are just minutes away, and anglers will love the ocean kayak outfitted for offshore fishing. An outdoor freezer is available to store your fresh catch for grilling later that evening.
Inside, you’ll find a newly remodeled interior with high-end upgrades and modern coastal comfort. Relax in the stylish living room featuring a 77-inch Smart TV and high-fidelity sound system—perfect for movie nights and streaming your favorite shows using your own credentials. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, showcasing marble countertops, a spacious island, and premium stainless steel appliances.
Stay active with the Olympic-quality barbell and bodyweight training equipment, then unwind with a refreshing dip in the private backyard pool. For guests desiring pool heat, please note: heating must be requested at least 72 hours prior to check-in and is available for an additional fee of $32 per night.
Additional amenities include central air conditioning, a washer/dryer, and complimentary high-speed WiFi for your convenience.
Whether you're here for a sports tournament, a family vacation, or a long-term stay, this serene Sarasota sanctuary offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, privacy, and luxury
