About Sarasota, Arts & Culture....
There's no need to stay on the beach to enjoy all that Sarasota has to offer. After all, no matter where you stay the beaches are only minutes away. The mainland is home to many of the attractions and activities that add depth and character to Sarasota vacations.
Off the islands, Sarasota is defined by a rich and varied arts scene that belies the size of the city. There's the famous John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, featuring an enormous selection of paintings -- including one of the largest collections of Rubens in the world. Visit the Ca' d'Zan mansion and the Circus museum.
We have Opera in the historic Sarasota Opera House, the Sarasota Ballet and Sarasota Orchestra. National touring shows in the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. For theatre lovers there is the Asolo, Florida Studio theatre, West Coast Black theatre just to mention a few.
Enjoying the outdoors....
Of course Beaches ! Siesta Key - #1 beach in the US, Lido Key. Longboat Key, Anna Maria Is, Nokomis, Caspersens and Venice beaches.
Sarasota's natural beauty has made it an international golf destination, with dozens of courses in the area designed by some of the biggest names in the sport.
Bike along the 19 mile Legacy multi-use recreational trail connecting Sarasota and Venice, Play Tennis. Take in a day, dinner or sunset boat cruise from Sarasota's bay front.
Kayak in and around the mangroves. Look for Manatees, Dolphins, Pelicans and all of the bird life that call it home here.
Fish.
Turtle watch nesting.
Bird Watching
If you'd rather be a spectator than a participant, head to Ed Smith Stadium, the spring training headquarters of the Baltimore Orioles.
Sarasota has some of the most extensive public park lands in the state, including the incomparable Myakka State.

Amazing backyard!
Very well-appointed cottage. The owners thought of everything. The place is very clean and up to date. The location is close to the bike trail and a short drive from Lido Beach. The star of the show is the backyard. It is definitely a tropical paradise. We spent our whole evenings out there. I definitely hope to return for a longer stay.

Great stay in Siesta Key
My family and I were so impressed with the accommodations. The home was very clean and well organized even the kitchen had labels so we could find everything and we cooked a lot. Everything was so clean and the kids were happy that they had so much beach equipment like boogie boards to take to the beach. We didn't have to rent anything when we went to the beach. The owners responded quickly through the VRBO App to respond to our unexpected requests and inquiries. Overall my family and I had a great time here and look forward to another stay.

Perfect location, home and hosts
We loved our stay in Sarasota and couldn't have been happier with the location so close to Downtown and this super cute home. There was everything we could need in our 'home from home' to make our stay comfortable and easy. The hosts were wonderful to work with, and went out of their way to help us with our checking in and out schedules. We will definitely be back!
