Sarasota Beaches
A Sarasota vacation puts some of Florida’s best-known Gulf Coast beaches within easy reach. From the white sand of Siesta Key to Lido Key’s combination of beach access, nature and nearby shopping and dining, visitors can experience a different side of the Sarasota coastline each day. You can also explore the Sarasota area beaches through Visit Sarasota County.
Siesta Key Beach
Siesta Key is one of Sarasota’s most recognized beach destinations and is known for its wide shoreline and white quartz sand. The island includes Siesta Beach, Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach, giving visitors several options for swimming, relaxing and enjoying the Gulf.
Guests who want to stay directly on the island can explore our Siesta Key vacation rentals.
Lido Key Beach
Located just west of downtown Sarasota, Lido Key offers beautiful Gulf beaches along with convenient access to St. Armands Circle. Visitors can combine a day at the beach with shopping, dining or exploring the natural areas around South Lido.
Explore our Lido Key vacation rentals for accommodations on the island.
Longboat Key
North of Lido Key, Longboat Key offers miles of Gulf shoreline and a quieter coastal atmosphere. The island is also convenient to St. Armands Circle and Sarasota’s mainland attractions.

Things to Do in Sarasota
Sarasota is much more than a beach destination. The area is known for arts and culture, outdoor recreation, shopping, dining and natural Florida landscapes, giving visitors plenty to explore between trips to the Gulf.
Explore Downtown Sarasota
Downtown Sarasota combines restaurants, shops, galleries, theaters and waterfront areas in a walkable urban setting. Sarasota Bay and Bayfront Park are nearby, making downtown an easy place to combine dining, entertainment and time outdoors.
Visit The Ringling
The Ringling is one of Sarasota’s signature cultural attractions. The waterfront property includes the Museum of Art, Circus Museum, Ca’ d’Zan, Historic Asolo Theater and Bayfront Gardens.
Discover Marie Selby Botanical Gardens
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens provides a distinctly Sarasota combination of tropical plants, gardens and waterfront scenery. Its Downtown Sarasota campus sits along Sarasota Bay and features tropical plant collections, gardens and a bayfront mangrove walkway.
Shop and Dine at St. Armands Circle
Located between downtown Sarasota and Lido Key Beach, St. Armands Circle is a popular destination for shopping, restaurants and leisurely walks. Its location makes it easy to combine a visit with a day at Lido Key.
Experience Myakka River State Park
For a different view of Southwest Florida, head inland to Myakka River State Park. The park encompasses wetlands, prairies, hammocks and pinelands surrounding the Myakka River, with opportunities for hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing, boating, fishing, canoeing and kayaking.
Get Outside
Sarasota offers plenty of ways to spend time outdoors beyond the beach. Depending on your interests, a vacation can include kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, fishing, cycling, golf and exploring local parks and nature preserves.
Why Choose a Sarasota Vacation Rental?
A vacation rental gives you the flexibility to experience Sarasota at your own pace. Instead of a traditional hotel room, vacation homes and condos can provide separate living areas, full kitchens, multiple bedrooms and conveniences that make both short getaways and longer stays more comfortable.
Depending on the property you choose, amenities may include a private or community pool, outdoor living space, in-unit laundry, a garage or dedicated parking, waterfront views, fitness facilities and pet-friendly accommodations.
Vacation rentals can be especially convenient for families and groups who want to stay together while still having room to spread out. They are also a popular option for seasonal and extended stays in Sarasota, giving guests a comfortable home base for enjoying the beaches, dining, shopping, arts and outdoor activities that make Southwest Florida such a popular destination.
Why Book Direct With Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals?

From choosing a property through your stay, our goal is to provide professionally managed accommodations and local support so you can spend more time enjoying Sarasota and Florida’s Gulf Coast.
