Welcome to Paradise

There is so much to see & do here!
Our rentals are in an amazing location for quick access to all of the best that Siesta Key and Sarasota have to offer.
Here are some of our favorite places:

If you love being out on the water, our favorite for boat rentals and fishing charters is CB's right off the South bridge. You can find more here too like jet skis & parasailing!

Discover Sarasota Trolley Rides

Grab a trolley tour as you start your stay here! You'll learn where to dine, shop, & visit like a local in Sarasota/Siesta Key.

Dolphin Watch & Sunset Tours

Take a trip and visit our aquatic neighbors! These tours are a great way to enjoy a morning or evening out on the water and even explore the local sandbar.

Marina Jack Cruises

Ready to get away from it all for a little while? Join a cruise on the Marina Jack II and treat yourself to a great meal and beautiful views from this yacht.

Siesta Key Bike & Kayak

Choose from a large selection of kayaks, paddle boards, scooters, bikes & more! It's super easy and quick. Find them on Siesta Key right off the South bridge next door to Captain Curt's.

Activities

Attractions

Big Cat Habitat

Head a bit inland in Sarasota and visit our zoological park. Visit over 350 animals and experience a few hands-on activities. While you're out there, stop by the Celery Fields at sunset to hear the Big Cats roaring!

Jungle Gardens

Established in 1939, Jungle Gardens is home to many local and exotic animals as well as rare or unique trees in its botanical gardens. We recommend sticking around for their bird & reptile shows - they are so fun to experience!

Le Barge Tropical Cruises

LeBarge offers so many fun tours and cruises! Launching from the Bayfront Park at Marina Jack's, book a cruise with live music or experience something unique like their full moon cruise.

Mote Marine

Mote Marine is the gem of Sarasota County. Take a quick ride out to Longboat Key and explore their aquariums and innovative exhibits. You're certain to have a great time & walk away knowing more about our beautiful oceans.

Ringling Museum

Right next door to SRQ airport, The Ringling is home to the renowned Ringling Museum, Circus Museum, historic mansion Ca' d'zan, and Asolo Theater. You can't visit Sarasota and not make a stop here!

Sarasota Art Museum

Dedicated to contemporary art, SAM resides in the former Sarasota High School historic building. Come for the art... but stay for the bistro!

Selby Gardens

Located downtown, Selby Gardens is our botanical garden focused on botany and horticulture. We love their seasonal events, especially when the gardens are lit with string lights in the "winter!"

Spanish Point

An extension of the Selby Gardens, Spanish Point south of our rentals, are home to the Butterfly House, historic Orange Juice homestead, a Native American mound, and much more.

The Bay

The Bay is the place to go to really immerse yourself in community! There are so many things to do here and everyone loves to come again and again. You can find the Van Wezel and Art Center here as well.

Attractions

Restaurants

Baker & Wife

Sarasota is known for its talent and magnetic pull for awe-inspiring creatives. Chef Isaac Correa runs his humble restaurant here nearby our rentals! From Puerto Rico to NY to Moscow - from local restaurants to opening the first few famous franchises (you probably know them!), Chef knows a thing or two about outstanding food. We highly recommend checking out this restaurant.

Connors

Cross the road at 41 and visit Westfield Siesta Key mall. There you can find Connors and indulge in some fine steak & seafood.

Libby's

Tucked away in Midtown Sarasota (locally known as Hillview) Libby's boasts some of the best foods and community around. Take a walk north on S. Osprey from our rentals towards Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and you'll find yourself there!

Marina Jack

Not only a marina, Marina Jacks hosts some of the best waterfront dining in Sarasota. Visit their luxurious dining room overlooking the marina on the second floor, relax outside over the water at the Blue Sunshine Patio, or grab a whiskey in the Deep 6 Lounge & Piano Bar (Tues-Sun at 5pm live piano!).

Mattison's

With 3 locations across Sarasota & Manatee Counties, Executive Chef Paul Mattison blesses us with his joy for amazing food and live entertainment. Head on over to downtown and see the lively atmosphere that Mattison's City Grille elicits or into South Sarasota to Mattison's Forty-One for a jazzier vibe.

Oasis Cafe

A few steps away from our rentals on Osprey Ave and menu items named after peculiar locals, this brunch cafe is the best place to go for breaking your fast!

Sage

Residing in the historic Sarasota Times Building, Sage is a gorgeous dinner and cocktail spot. We recommend making a reservation if you plan to stop in here. Sage is also recently known for its Annual Halloween Party - get on their waitlist as soon as it's announced!

Shakespeares

Also just a few steps away from our rentals, this gastro pub is renowned for its menu but still hides as the local's secret. Grab one of their award wining burgers and try out the 30-50 bottles of beer they carry from around the world!

Shore

For a unique experience, reserve a spot at Shore on Longboat Key. Dining located on the 2nd floor, you'll have a great view of St. Armand's Circle and the lively evening atmosphere on the island. After a culinary delight, head downstairs for some shopping.

State Street Eating House

State Street is one of our favorite places to go with friends and clients. The food is always fantastic, the staff are local and personable, and the lounge side is where cocktail magic is born! Make sure to check out their weekend brunch - but beware: they're sadly closed on Sunday & Monday evenings.

Restaurants

Supermarkets

Aldi

If you need to quickly run by the grocery store, head across 41 to Aldi.

Downtown Farmer's Market

Open every Saturday 7am-1pm on Main St., rain or shine, support our local farmers and businesses while restocking your kitchen pantry.

Publix

One thing us Sarasotans don't lack are our Publix-es. The local grocery chain favorite carries most brands and has quality produce and meats. On your lunch break, stop by their deli and see why the locals love their "Pub Subs!"

Trader Joe's fan? We have one in Sarasota too!
