About this property

1BR King/ensuite with Kitchen 5 Mins. To Beach/Downtown

Just minutes from beautiful Sarasota Bay and lovely beaches! This upstairs guest room, a 1 BR king with private bath, is located near downtown Sarasota and the beaches. Five minutes to downtown, 5 minute drive to Lido Key Beach, close to Siesta Key! The Reserve Retreat boasts two onsite restaurants: Cafe open Fri-Sun, 8a-2p, formal dining open 7 days a week, 4:30-9p, coffee and tea shop, craft beer and wine bar. Complimentary coffee in our Coffee Shop Wed-Sun beginning at 8am.

We have two on-site restaurants! The Cafe with American fare breakfast and lunch from 8a-2p. Eat indoors at The Café or outdoors on our lovely courtyard.

The Reserve Kitchen by Chef Antonio is open 7 days a week. Dinner is served daily from 4:30-9:30pm. Enjoy lunch on Saturday and Sunday from noon-4. Dinner and lunch are served in a more formal setting in the lovely dining room.


The Reserve Retreat is a landmark property, steeped in Sarasota's rich art and cultural heritage. The three buildings were part of circus magnate Charles Ringling's estate before his mansion was built. At various times, it was a boarding house and a circus performance venue. Today, it is a redeveloped gorgeous property with three buildings on a single parcel joined by a beautiful outdoor courtyard. It is across the street from the Sarasota Bay and just minutes to Downtown, and both Lido Key and Siesta Key beaches!

Conveniently located near downtown Sarasota, the beaches, St. Armand's Circle, many performing arts venues, restaurants, and more! A great Sarasota escape close to the arts and nature and much more.

Washer and dryer on-site, too. Beach chairs and beach towels can be checked out for your convenience. Too many great points to list here!

Cool and unique place! My husband and I enjoyed it. It’s very close to everything in downtown Sarasota as well as all the nicest beaches. There’s even an awesome little park right on the water across the street. We highlight recommend it.

Our stay was very pleasant. It was clean and cozy. With my strict diet restrictions, the kitchen came in handy. We were able to shop for foods that we could store in the kitchen which saved us from going to a restaurant. Going to restaurants is much harder for us due to our restricted diet. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning kept us cool. The only suggestion that I would have would be to add thicker windows in the future to avoid the traffic noise outside. People were very friendly and inviting and the entertainment, although we did not join, was fun to listen to as we were in our rooms. If we have to return to Sarasota, we will definitely stay here again and we would reccomend it to our friends if they ever visit your area.
