As the seasons rush by in a flurry of work, family, play, and friends, it is time to explore the next holiday in the roundup, the last one before the summer months hit. Many of today’s travelers prefer to travel when others aren’t, enjoying the beauty of less crowded attractions, shorter wait times in restaurants, and less cars on the streets and because Easter  2023 in Sarasota isn’t a normal traveling holiday, it is the perfect time to visit the stunning city of Sarasota! Offering incredible weather, beautiful beaches, and a friendly hometown feel that will make you feel right at home, your Easter celebrations will be even more wonderful when you spend them in one of our RentTheKeys holiday hideaways! This guide to the fun you can have, the ways you can enjoy your familiar holiday traditions while making new ones, and the comforts found in our homey escapes will help give you a little something extra to look forward to in the upcoming days and weeks before your getaway. 

Easter Egg Hunts 

Families with young children know that the first thing their kiddos are going to wonder about, is the Easter Egg hunt that they start every holiday with, and fortunately, your options in Sarasota are plentiful, starting on April 1st and leading up to the big day itself, Sunday, April 9th! The Eggstravaganza Annual Egg Hunt, Waterside Place at Lakewood Ranch, 7500 Island Cove Terrace in Sarasota, is first up on our list, requiring pre-registration and offering a hunt divided into age groups, a chance to meet the Big Bunny himself, face painting and food booths. For a different twist on the same event, the Aqua Egg Hunt is also held on April 1st, Arlington Park & Aquatic Complex, 2650 Waldemere St in Sarasota, and gives kiddos (divided into age groups as well) the chance to hunt for eggs in the waist-deep pool! And for those who like to wait for the big day, the Sarasota Polo Club, Sarasota Polo Club, 8201 Polo Club Lane, offers an egg drop, an Easter brunch, contests regarding cookies and bourbon drinks, and the opportunity to watch a Polo game on Easter Sunday. 

Easter Brunch 

When it comes to a good meal we are all in and if the brunch at the Sarasota Polo Club is a little beyond your comfort zone, you may find the brunch offered at Element: Steak, Seafood, and Pasta, more your speed! Located in downtown Sarasota at 1413 Main Street, the menu hasn’t been released yet, but we can promise it will be delicious, especially as Mimosa Bottle Service is included! If you want to be even more casual in your Easter dining selections, however, may we suggest a picnic on the beach? Pack a cooler filled with ham sandwiches, your favorite beverages, and some chocolate Easter eggs as well and head to any of the beautiful beaches in the area for a day of sun, beauty, and family togetherness! 

Easter with RentTheKeys 

Of course, everything you can do in Sarasota to celebrate the Easter holiday can be enjoyed at home in your RentTheKeys holiday hideaway, and it may even bring you more fun and excitement! Boil your eggs and create your Easter feast in fully equipped kitchens offering high-end appliances, stone countertops, and enough space for more than one chef to share the culinary duties. Decorating your eggs at our large dining room tables, or even taking them outside to enjoy the sun that is shining on your Easter escape will encourage you to take lots of pictures, guaranteed to make your friends and family at home feel jealous. Even in April, the chance of a spring snowstorm is high, and chances are they are digging themselves out from under the effects of the latest storm! Let the honorary Easter Bunny hide the eggs you decorated in large yards, on spacious balconies, or all through the house, if your escape really doesn’t have much hiding space outdoors, letting your kids run mild on their hunt for Easter eggs. 

This holiday, like most holidays, is about spending time with family, and as you and yours gather around family style dinner tables, devouring an Easter ham and all the fixings, you will realize that Easter in Sarasota might just become a new family tradition! After the meal is finished and the dishes are all cleared away, state-of-the-art televisions can be turned to your favorite Easter movie or television show; how long has it been since you watched It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown? Our smart televisions offer all the streaming apps, so just sign in to your favorite, and end your Easter day with laughter and memories! Contact us today! 

After choosing a destination, the second most important detail of your trip is choosing the place that will shelter you between adventures. You want spaces that welcome and rooms that spoil, and when your upcoming vacation takes you to the beauty of Siesta Key, you want to be at the beach whenever possible! RentTheKeys understands exactly what you need, and our Bay Oaks E01 property will give you the vibe you seek and the comfort you need. Offering two serene bedrooms, two spacious baths, and the space for up to six travelers to live happily together, this charming condo is located just off the intercoastal, ensuring that the views you enjoy will be ones that will stun. Shining the spotlight on this special property will help give you something to look forward to in the days and weeks that lead up to your fabulous Florida vacation of a lifetime!
 

Reflections of the Sea 

The sugar white sands of the beaches of Siesta Key will never be far from your heart or mind when you step inside our Bay Oaks escape. Offering walls painted the color of the summer sky after a brief rain and decorations that remind you how wonderful life at the beach can be, every room provides a cheerful reminder that you have reached the destination of your dreams. In other states, vacation properties often offer wood floors, but in Florida we not only love the feel of cool tile against bare feet, we also appreciate how easy it can be to sweep away the fine granules of sand that may linger on your body, your clothes, or the bags you carried in from your beach day! Follow the paths these cool tiles create and make your first stop in the living room area that provides a comfortable place to relax when you aren’t outside playing! 

The living area is a bright and open space anchored by a soft sofa and loveseat upholstered in dove gray fabric, both of which are precisely placed so as to enjoy clear views of a state-of-the-art television offering crystal-clear pictures that will make viewers feel as if they are a part of the action on the screen. The back wall of the living room is actually an oversized sliding glass door that leads out to a small screened-in patio, offering sweet views of the community and the intercoastal waterway. It’s a great place to relax and chat on a beautiful spring evening. 

Heading back inside, the kitchen of E01 is a compact space offering updated appliances, stone countertops, and a breakfast bar that is fronted by two comfortable bar stools. Enjoy fresh brewed coffee every morning of your stay, keep your wine and beer chilled to proper temps, and if you fancy an evening spent relaxing and enjoying the amenities of your vacation home away from home, you can prepare a meal in this fully equipped kitchen. The dining room is in the center of the public spaces, just as the way you use it may be the center of all family activities. From dining to the playing of board games, puzzle building to coffee sipping, this bright and cheerful glass table surrounded by padded wicker chairs will bring you comfort and joy during your escape to Siesta Key. 

The master suite of E01 gives off a farmhouse appeal, dominated by a wood-framed king bed painted white and kept light by the oversized window that peaks out onto a lush and verdant landscape. The master bath provides a single vanity and tub shower combo with a sea themed shower curtain, while the second bath is similar, only differing in its offering of a glass doored walk in shower. The second bedroom of this Bay Oaks escape is cheerful and fun, offering twin beds that mimic the farmhouse appeal of the king bed in the master suite. 

Of Course, There Is More!

The Bay Oaks condo community is a beautiful one, offering paved walkways that follow the intercoastal, walkways that are often most busy at sunset as visitors want to get out and experience the beauty of water. “Secret” seating areas can be found throughout the grassy landscape of the community, and a large, crystal-clear pool provides a fun way to enjoy a warm Florida day. Community barbecues are meant to be used, and its location just off the white sands of Siesta Key beaches ensures that guests will be able to spend more time frolicking in the surf and less time driving from home to beach!

As we turn the corner into spring, we often find ourselves wanting to travel. Maybe it’s the Spring Breaks of our college days or maybe we just want to celebrate the upcoming warmer days, but for whatever reason, spring travel runs a close second behind summer vacations, and many travelers find themselves heading south for a Florida vacation.

Sarasota County Fair, March 17-26, 3000 Ringling Boulevard

There’s just something heartwarming about a county fair, inviting guests to forget they are grown as they eat carnival food, ride the rides that make them queasy, and try to win their sweethearts a stuffy from the midway games! There is no more beautiful feeling than walking around a fairgrounds on a sunny Sarasota day, checking out the prize hogs, examining the talented artwork, and devouring an elephant ear topped with all the powdered sugar or honey that you can handle and knowing that back home, your brother is shoveling acres of snow from his driveway and sidewalks, because Mother Nature in Ohio hasn’t got the memo that spring has arrived!

Suncoast Boat Show, April 20 Through April 22, Marina Jack

In Sarasota, our boats are more important than the cars we drive and when you get a taste of the boating life, you may find yourself as obsessed by it as we are! The Suncoast Boat Show will feed your obsession, offering a stunning display of new and pre-owned yachts for sale, and although you may not be in the market for a yacht, it still offers an exciting way to see all the possibilities and incite luxurious daydreams that may someday be realized!

5th Annual Sarasota International Dragon Boat Festival, May 20th, Nathan Benderson Park

Golf

For the golfers in the group that want to golf near the Gulf, you can set sail with your clubs to one of the two courses on Longboat Key or have the only water you encounter to be the water hazards on the courses around Sarasota. Make tee times at Sarasota courses like Stoneybrook, the Meadows, and TPC Prestancia. The island courses both call the Resort at Longboat Key Club home.

Bicycle Rentals

Like on many islands, there barrier islands of the Sarasota area have several places that a motor vehicle can’t go. Instead, explore the many walking and bike trails that let you see the sights of the Florida Keys during fall. You will find a bike to fit the needs of each group member, like cruisers, tricycles for added balance and basket space, a romantic bicycle built for two, and even children’s bikes and adult bikes with baby seats. Many rental companies provide complimentary locks and baskets with your rental. Ask about safety gear like lights and helmets, and perks like delivery to your accommodations.

Beaches

A Florida beach vacation, no matter what time of year you need a break, without a visit to its beaches, is virtually unheard of. Pack up your group and your beach gear and make the short trip to the sand, sun, and fun you came to experience. While taking a dip in the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico are cooling in anticipation of fall and winter weather, there are plenty of things to do on land – like take a walk, sit and soak up the sun, read, or watch the kids build sandcastles. Whether you choose one of our rentals on the mainland or surround yourself with water, the many area beaches are a top priority for any Florida getaway.

Anna Maria Island Historical Museum

Take some time out of your busy schedule of Sarasota Labor Day activities to learn about the nearby islands. The Anna Maria Island Historical Museum is loaded with history and treasures from the locale’s past. Visit the old city jail, now an Anna Maria tourist spot but previously the actual city jail that was in use until the 1940s. Learn about the many Hollywood movies shot in the area, like Palmetto and The Perfect Storm, and even early life on the island dating all the way back to evidence of Native American cultures in 700 AD.

The Ringling

Art, history, circus memorabilia, gardens, a historic theater, and even more await you at the unique property. The grounds and its many nooks and crannies preserve the legacy of John and Mable Ringling. John is one of five brothers who formed the Ringling Brothers Circus. Wander around and visit places like the State Art Museum of Florida, two circus museums, an education center, the historic Ca’ d’Zan Mansion, Bayfront Gardens, and the Historic Asolo Theater. The grounds and gardens are free to visit, and admission to the Museum of Art is free on Mondays.

Paradise Boat Tours

A great way to get to know the area you’ve decided to call home for the Labor Day holiday is to get out and explore. While exploring on land is easy, you’ll want to get familiar with the waters of the Gulf, too. Based in Bradenton Beach, Paradise Boat Tours offers fully narrated, 90-minute tours of the Intracoastal waterways. Keep your camera ready and your eyes peeled for sea life including dolphins, manatees, rays, and more! Plan a private tour and pack a picnic, including your favorite alcoholic beverages.

Bishop Museum of Science and Nature

Florida is one of the best places to find a variety of nature’s best. From inland lakes – including dune lakes – and the picturesque shores of the Gulf coast to wildlife that live on land or inhabit the sea, there’s a lot to see and learn about Florida’s unique ecosystem. For some indoor fun away from the heat and sun, head to the Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, formerly the South Florida Museum, in Bradenton. Prepare for fun and learning this Labor Day with a number of permanent and rotating exhibits, meaning no two visits will ever be alike!
