Encompassing some of the state’s most impressive cultural attractions, world-class beaches and a slew of eco-tourism activities, Sarasota and its surrounding islands, is the perfect destination to unwind in style.

Amenities like fully equipped kitchens and spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas make vacation rentals perfect for families seeking to prepare their own meals and save money.

You’ll have access to one of the world’s great beaches. Siesta Key Beach, which was included in Dr. Beaches’ Top 10 “Best Beaches in America” in 2007 & 2008, is a don’t miss experience. While beach activities like parasailing, snorkeling and sailing are popular pastimes, away from the sands, cultural attractions are big draws in Sarasota. A great family outing is the John and Mable Ringling Estate, a Venetian-inspired mansion along Sarasota Bay featuring an art museum, circus museum, a Circus Ring of Fame and the Flying Trapeze and The Flying Fantasy Circus. When it’s time to shop and dine, head to St. Armands Circle on Lido Key, a classy area with a European charm featuring bistros with outdoor dining and a plethora of boutiques, art galleries, specialty shops and restaurants. Popular outdoor activities in the Sarasota area include kayaking at Myakka River State Park, playing golf at top-notch layouts like the Arnold Palmer designed Legacy Golf Club at Lakewood Ranch and the Scottish links-style Tatum Ridge Golf Links and hiking the newly opened Legacy Trail, which stretches more than 12 miles from Sarasota to Venice.
