Welcome to Sarasota!
Considered one of the top places to visit in Florida, Sarasota is home to white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters from the Gulf of Mexico and a diverse community full of enriching arts and culture.

The Sarasota beaches are comprised of six islands, each with their own unique personality, natural beauty, and fun adventures. Longboat Key is the northernmost key with 12 miles of sandy shores and a place sea turtles come to nest. Lido Key has three beaches and home to the famed St. Armand's Circle. Siesta Key has two main bridges and is regarded as the #1 beach in the world. Caspersen Beach in Venice is dog-friendly and the perfect place for shark tooth hunters. Manasota Key is the nature lovers dream with walking trails from Gulf to bay. And finally, Casey Key has an 18-acre park, picnic areas and concession stand, perfect for a fun day trip.

After a day enjoying one of the many beaches, explore another side of Sarasota- the arts, restaurants, and nightlife. Known as Florida's Cultural Coast, Sarasota County has an array of museums, galleries and performing art venues.

For the foodie in all of us, enjoy several award-winning restaurants with views of the Gulf, skyline and more. From fine dining to small seafood joints and numerous food festivals, there is an abundance of choices.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a $250 pet fee and a $12 pool heat fee to help cover the cost of energy. If you would like the pool heated for your stay, kindly contact us 48 hours or more before arrival to have it turned on. No dogs allowed in the pool at any time as the filtration system is not designed for pet hair. Thank you!

Location excellent. Cozy home.

We enjoyed being minutes away from siesta key. Parking was free and easy to find for the beach too during November. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with a cute downtown shop area a block away along with other keys shopping stores. The home was decorated beautiful and has so many amenities from soaps, extra blankets, beach towels and even a hand mixer that I used for Thanksgiving. Showers were decent. Downsides were there are maintenance things that need attention with it being an older home. The pool we were unable to use because the heater never warmed the pool just the sun did and took all week. They did come out day one right away to try to remedy and were very attentive to it! Very kind property owners that truly cared. The beds were hard and adults couldn’t sleep on well. My husband slept on the couch. Other things were minor maintenance items such as blinds, tv, and slow draining shower. I am sure the property owners will take care of them. Only reason I wouldn’t return was bed comfort. If the beds are upgraded, we would definitely stay again
