SarasotaFlorida's cultural arts capital — the Ringling Museum, Selby Botanical Gardens, Siesta Key's #1-ranked quartz-white sand, and the St. Armands Circle shopping ring

Sarasota wraps the eastern shore of Sarasota Bay between Tampa Bay 50 miles north and Charlotte Harbor 40 miles south — downtown's bayfront runs from the Selby Botanical Gardens past Marina Jack and the Bayfront Park to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, the John D. MacArthur Causeway crosses to St. Armands Circle's Italian-villa shopping ring on Lido Key (an Owen Burns urban-design landmark), and the John Ringling Causeway continues past the Ringling Museum's 66-acre Ca' d'Zan campus on the north side. Siesta Key's powder-quartz Siesta Beach sits 15 minutes south on Stickney Point Road; Longboat Key runs north of Lido for 12 miles toward Anna Maria Island.

Our rentals run from downtown bayfront condos and lofts in the Rosemary District, to St. Armands Circle townhomes a block from the shops, Lido Key Gulf-front condos at the Helmsley Sandcastle and Lido Beach Club, Siesta Key Village walkable two-bedroom cottages, and quieter mainland Sarasota single-family homes a Mote Marine drive from the bayfront. Sarasota–Bradenton International (SRQ) is 5 miles north and the easiest non-stop alternative to Tampa or Fort Myers.
