As we find ourselves in the midst of the most chaotic time of year, all the work and stress that accompanies the holidays may have travelers seeking something they probably think they can’t have. How can you be peaceful when your to-do list is longer than the book you put down before Halloween and how can you find serenity when you simply do not know what you are buying your husband, sister, best friend for Christmas? Sometimes the simplest answers to the most difficult questions are right in front of your face, and this guide to Villa Serenity in Cape Coral may contain the answers you seek!
Every Journey is Different
Noone knows the journey your life is taking you through, but when it includes a winter vacation in Cape Coral, we at Rent the Keys do know how to make it more comfortable and Villa Serenity offers the perfect example. Offering 3 bedrooms that are tranquil and restful, 2 spacious baths, and waterfront views of the canals that run through Cape Coral, this home will be your new favorite happy place. Providing peace and serenity to all who inhabit the spaces of this stunning villa, as well as comfort, luxury, and the modern conveniences travelers love, we have worked hard to create an idyllic vacation escape!
Blending Cultures
Although the blue waters of our state are represented in art and color, this cottage will make you feel as if you have flown across the pond to the sunny lands of Tuscany, providing color and warmth that will make you feel welcomed and at home. Accent walls in the living room, painted the rich red of your favorite Sangiovese, the rich sienna color of custom cabinets in the kitchen, and the terra cotta colored tiles that grace the walls of the primary baths all harken back to the old country. But vintage Florida has a place at home here, found in the rattan chairs surrounding the dining table where many games will be played and meals will be enjoyed. A beach print in one of the bedrooms, frolicking tile dolphins on the floor of the pool, and views of the Florida sunset that will bring joy to your heart.
Form Plus Function Equals Home
A beautiful home is something we all seek, but without the modern conveniences would you be able to consider your Florida vacation a success? The kitchen equipped with updated appliances in stainless steel will let happy guests create the meals they love and the breakfast bar provides a place for the kids to sit and chat with mom while the meal is made. State-of-the-art televisions offer clear pictures of the big game making guests feel as if they are sitting on the sidelines and the soft sofas that recline to the perfect angle create the ideal spots for an afternoon nap. A modern washer and dryer set keeps suits and towels dry and smelling fresh after an afternoon spent frolicking in the heated pool or soaking in the attached hot tub. And the bedrooms of Villa Serenity? Premium beds provide happy dreams and state-of-the-art televisions allow guests to fall asleep any way they want! The contrast of form and function enables vacationers to enjoy a getaway that contrasts with the holiday chaos felt when still at home.
Florida Sunsets are Magic
You may have heard it somewhere in your travels but until you witness a Florida sunset yourself you will never quite believe their magic and Villa Serenity offers many ways to make viewing comfortable. A swing on the private dock, just beyond the screened-in lanai and various seating options inside the screens are just two of the places you can enjoy a sunset, but if you really want to make it special, renting a boat, kayak, or even paddleboard will give you the opportunity to be amazed from the center of serenity, the waters that run through Cape Coral. Just be prepared to lose your words, and maybe even your breath as the sun begins its descent and the sky turns to fire, making you believe in magic, hope, and the serenity that you may have worried could not be real!
Find Your Joy
Cape Coral is known as a Waterfront Wonderland, offering more canals than Venice, if you can believe it, but it is also known as being home to some of our Rent the Keys nicest vacation escapes, including Villa Serenity. Offering warm weather, sunny skies, and the Florida vibe that makes everyone feel like locals, your stay in this charming cottage on the canal will definitely be one that tops all other vacations. Reserve your favorite escape today and fall in love with peace, quiet, serenity, and Florida sunsets that will take your breath away!
As the weather in your part of the world begins to wear on you with too much cold, too much wet, too much gray, here in Sarasota, the complete opposite is true, especially when you make our hometown your holiday escape. Offering a heartwarming charm that also includes the benefit of not having to layer on heavy clothes or fight traffic on snow-covered roads, for those who prefer a white Christmas, heading to the white sand beaches of Sarasota can give the same effect, only with a lot more serenity and a lot less frostbite on the bare toes buried in its soft glory. This guide to all the reasons that make spending your 2023 Christmas in Sarasota not just a good thing, but an incredibly wonderful thing to do, begins and ends with the best thing, a stay in one of our RentTheKeys holiday hideaways!
37th Annual Sarasota Holiday Boat Parade of Lights, December 9, Bayfront Park/Marina Jack
We all love a parade, but when you add the beauty of the water and the sleek wonders of a boat to the activity, well, it just takes the celebration to an entirely new level of excitement. And the fact that the colorfully lit boats skimming across the water on a beautiful December night benefits the Suncoast Charities for Children just brings it all home to create a heartwarming festive celebration sure to be enjoyed by all. It costs nothing to view, but donations and toys are happily accepted and if you really want the best seats in the house, make reservations today for a table at Marina Jacks, enjoying a meal and a show during this magical event.
Holiday Tour of Lights, SRQ Trolley, December 4 through December 30
Viewing of the Christmas lights is a favorite holiday tradition, but if you are new to the area (as most vacationers are) you may find it difficult to go where the best lights are and SRQ Trolley has made it easier for you. Offering two tours a night on the above-mentioned days, their beautiful red and green trolley cars (already decked out in holiday colors) take guests on a colorful tour of the city, doing the driving so that you and your family can see the best of the best and not have to concentrate on the road, something you will really appreciate when you see what Sarasota has in store for you. These tours sell out quickly, so it would be wise to purchase your tickets early, perhaps even before you head south for the holiday.
Shop ‘Til You Drop!
This is the year where Santa’s gifts may all have a coastal flair, especially if his “helpers” do their shopping in Sarasota. The University Town Center is destined to be your new obsession, offering an open-air shopping experience that would be miserable in your hometown but is perfectly idyllic in sunny Sarasota. Dressed in its holiday finest, it will be hard NOT to feel festive as you shop for the perfect gift, letting the sun’s rays warm you to your soul! For visitors who want to be home for Christmas, however, and are visiting a little earlier in the month, there are always a variety of holiday markets that will be popping up all over town, including a Holiday Craft Fair held at New Covenant Family Church on December 9, starting at 9 AM, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled as you explore the town.
Our Version of a White Christmas
With a high in the 70s and the low rarely falling below 50, you may want to take your Christmas celebration to the beach where the white sands will give you and your family the most tranquil white Christmas ever experienced. Sarasota in the winter is a sight to behold and because our white sand beaches provide a festive cheer, snuggled up to the turquoise waters, you may want to enjoy your holiday feast on its colorful acreage and for the heartier guests flying in from cold climates, the water may still be warm enough for a Christmas afternoon swim! Open presents in your RentTheKeys holiday hideaway, toss together some turkey and gravy sandwiches (so moist) and spend the day savoring peace, serenity, and all the joy of this magical holiday.
Ho, Ho, Home with RentTheKeys
Our Sarasota sanctuaries offer all the comforts of home and can even be made more festive with the addition of a small tree surrounded by presents. Watch Hallmark Christmas movies on state-of-the-art televisions, dream about the presents you hope are under the tree in cloud soft beds and make yourself at home in our holiday hideaways. Reserve your favorite and contact us today!
Winter is coming, that wonderful season where the sun shines brightly, the beaches are still crowded with people, and the warm days make you glad to live in the south, but if this does not describe your winter, it’s ok. Now is the perfect time to start planning a vacation to the land of eternal summer in the town of Sarasota, and because we at Rent the Keys want our guests to experience the best vacations, we don’t just offer spacious, comfortable, and luxurious homes for travelers to relax in, we are providing this guide to all the fun you can have during a winter trip to Sarasota! Spend your days making your friends and neighbors back in your snow covered hometown feel jealous and your nights reveling in the comforts we provide; your winter escape to Florida is destined to create memories you will cherish forever!
Take a Tour
If you have never been to Sarasota before, you may want to start out your getaway with a tour of the town, and Discover Sarasota Tours offers plenty of ways to learn a little more about what may interest you during your vacation in paradise! Offering classic sightseeing tours of the city, haunted Sarasota tours, foodie tours, and our personal favorite, a Christmas Carol Trolley tour, complete with letters to Santa, holiday music, and colorful Christmas lights, this tour company explores all the things that makes our coastal city wonderful!
Searching for Shells and Shark’s Teeth
Yes, a day at the beach is still well within reason throughout the winter months, especially as daytime temps rarely dip below 70. If you are seeking a way to bring back souvenirs but also want to save a little money, nothing fits the bill better than the shells and shark’s teeth that can be found at many of our Sarasota County beaches, including Caspersen Beach in nearby Venice. Known as the Shark’s Tooth Capital of the World, even megalodon teeth have been discovered in the area! Of course, finding a megalodon tooth is rare, but smaller teeth of today’s sharks are often washed up on Caspersen Beach, providing a beautiful way to fill a couple of hours of your winter vacation. For sea shells, of course, you don’t have to wander as far, perhaps even finding the prettiest ones at the beaches you are staring at from your Rent the Keys beachfront sanctuary!
Winter Holidays Activities
If your winter break brings you to Sarasota during the holidays, you will still be able to feel the holiday spirit, even without the snow and cold! The previously mentioned Christmas Carol Trolley is a great spot to begin your celebrations, but there are also holiday markets for getting your shopping done (Holiday Bazaar on December 2nd at the TPC Prestancia is a great one!) a Santa Run 5K on December 17th, and Deck the Halls, a Christmas Extravaganza performed at the Keating Theater on December 10th. At New Year’s there will be fireworks displays that can be seen from the beach, and champagne toasts at nearly every bar you visit, but the coolest activity is witnessing the Pineapple Drop on New Year’s Eve! Forget the crystal ball drop in Times Square, this exciting celebration takes place in downtown Sarasota, offering live music, awesome food, fun games, and of course, the best drinks. When the clock strikes down to midnight, witnessing the giant pineapple descending from the sky is a thrilling bucket list moment you will never forget!
Sightseeing Attractions
There are a lot of things to see and do during your winter visit to Sarasota, including checking out these local sights and attractions. Learn about the sea and its cold blooded inhabitants at the Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, explore the circus world at the John & Mabel Ringling Museum of Art, or take a stroll through whimsy and wonder with a visit to the Marietta Museum of Art & Whimsy, only open from November through May! This last museum features sculptures, including an outdoor garden with its own flock of giant flamingoes!
A Foodie’s Tour of Sarasota
Chances are you didn’t eat a lot in the days and weeks leading up to your Sarasota vacation, wanting to stay lean and trim to look good in the new swimsuits you purchased, but now that you are here, all bets are off! It is time to enjoy a foodie’s tour of Sarasota, exploring the best restaurants that offer the tastiest bites in town! Pizza at Napule, Mousaka at Blu Kouzina, and of course, the freshest, sweetest, seafood at pretty much any local seafood restaurant! (Our personal favorite is Crab & Fin in St. Armand’s Circle)
Hanging out at Home with Rent the Keys
Quiet moments spent watching the sun sink over the sea, rowdy nights spent playing board games around dining room tables, and wonderful moments of rest and relaxation can be yours when you spend your winter vacay in our Rent the Keys seasonal sanctuaries! Reserve your favorite and contact us today!
With a blink and a sigh, the carefree days of summer have passed and we are now firmly in the midst of the holiday season. Halloween has ended, the days are growing short, and in many states, the first snowfall of the season has already occurred, making it a tiny bit easier to feel the spirit of the holidays even as cold weather inhabitants are wishing they had just a little more time in the sun! This is why a vacation to Sarasota at Thanksgiving often enters travelers’ minds, such as those unwilling to let go of summer and who are also hesitant about spending this first big holiday with cranky relatives!
And if you can imagine it, the days, although not long, stay warm reaching as high as the mid-80s and as turkeys are cooking, long walks along white sand beaches will help all that delicious food not settle into our soon to be expanding waistlines! (It’s so hard to not say yes to a second piece of pumpkin pie!) And whether you decide to prepare a Florida Beachgiving feast yourself or are looking at exploring what restaurants can do the work for you, our Rent the Keys holiday hideaways will help make this year’s celebration feel warm, cozy, and relaxing!
Take a Trip Back in Time
Although not a traditional Thanksgiving activity, the Suncoast Renaissance Festival comes to the Sarasota Fairgrounds November 18th through December 10th, open on weekends only. Raise a goblet to comely women and manly men on the weekend before or after the holiday, exploring jousting matches, playing games, and if you are a Ren Fair regular in your hometown, dressing up for the occasion! The festival harkens back to simple days and if you are choosing to go non-traditional for your turkey dinner in 2023, you can still enjoy a taste of the holiday by gnawing on the simply ginormous turkey legs sold here! Each weekend offers a different theme, with the first weekend dedicated to pirates and the weekend after Thanksgiving themed Fantasy Weekend, 2 days in which cosplay rules!
Run for your Supper!
As we just mentioned, the holidays are often responsible for more than a few extra pounds, but with a little planning, you can limit the stress on your clothing budget! Taking part in one of our favorite traditions, the Florida Turkey Trot is a great way to start your holiday, with the fun starting at 7:15 am for children and 8 am for adults. Held at Nathan Benderson Park on November 23rd, the 7:15 start time is for the Kid’s Turkey Dash, a fun run broken down in age groups for those 12 and under. Participants will receive a finisher’s medal and a tee shirt, both of which will serve as a fantastic souvenir of their turkey day getaway. The adult 5K starts promptly at 8, with runners also receiving a race shirt, finisher medal, and for the first 100 men and first 100 women, a sweet holiday themed treat will be awarded to enjoy at home!
To Cook or Not to Cook
Let’s face it. When traveling for Thanksgiving the biggest decision may be whether or not you want to use the kitchen of your vacation escape for preparing a big feast or, if you want to let others do all the work! For those inclined to make this a true lazy vacation, Sarasota offers plenty of restaurants that will be open and serving a variety of holiday meals, all prepared, served, and cleared away by hard working people who won’t be you!
Explore the fine dining cuisine of the Bijou Garden Café, 1287 1st Street, located inside what once was a 1920’s gas station or if you want to stay home and enjoy the luxury amenities of our Rent the Keys sanctuaries, enjoy a take out dinner from Brick’s Smoked Meats, 1528 State Street, where smoked turkey or their world famous prime brisket will be a delicious addition to your celebration. These are just two of many restaurants offering such options, so your choices will be plentiful!
Make Our Homes Yours for the Holiday
Our Sarasota homes are destined to be the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving at the beach, offering kitchens that are fully equipped to handle almost any sized feast and their cheerful vibes will make you feel comfortable and at home as you cook up a storm. State of the art televisions offer large screens, ideal for watching all the big football games or, our favorite part of the holiday, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! After the tryptophan kicks in from your delicious roast turkey, super comfortable sofas are built for giving guests the best naps and if you are ready to start looking at the next holiday waiting in the line-up, streaming Christmas songs will help you feel the Christmas spirit! Reserve your favorite holiday haven and contact us today!
The best Florida vacations are the ones spent at or near the beach. Knowing you can peek out a window and see the blue waters or you can hear the waves crashing against the white sand beaches from your bed each night. Waking early to walk along shore’s edge at sunrise and repeating the colorful walk at sunset makes every day feel like the best day and when you choose to stay in our Rent the Keys Vista Hermosa Unit 206B, you also get to experience a beautiful blend of comforts and modern conveniences. Today we want to take our guests on a tour of this 2 bedroom, 2 bath Siesta Key condo located close to beach access and offering space enough for up to 6 guests to share the space in harmony and happiness. This guide will let you in on the secrets to enjoying an idyllic vacation on one of our favorite Florida Keys!
Filled with Light
Your first moments spent inside this second-story condo will be quiet and filled with anticipation, knowing that this tranquil sanctuary will be your home for the next week or so of your life! Tile floors lead the way into the open-concept floor plan, taking guests through rooms filled with warmth, welcoming, and the light that streams through large windows in the main living areas. The kitchen is the first space you will pass, located just inside the front door (ensuring that you don’t have to carry groceries that far!) and offering a cheerful ambiance within its stylish footprint.
Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and lightly stained cabinets, including an upper set that offers a glass door work together to create a space travelers will enjoy working in. The peninsula on one end of the kitchen serves as a breakfast bar with two cushioned barstools bellied up to its counter, giving your little adventurers a great place to enjoy cereal in the mornings.
The dining table, perched under a modern chandelier in front of a generous-sized window is where meals can be enjoyed, games can be played, and quiet moments spent sipping coffee and staring out at the tropical landscape of the Vista Hermosa community. Across from the table, two occasional chairs upholstered in a plant-patterned fabric makes a fantastic conversation spot for those who aren’t interested in playing games and may still offer views of the landscape beyond the windows.
The living room, however, may be your favorite space in the entire condo. Offering a plush leather sofa that faces a late-model television, naps are guaranteed to be refreshing and evenings spent binge-watching movies or reading the paperback you brought along on your journey South!
More Ways to Relax
The balcony of Unit 206B offers a special surprise to occupants, open to the rest of the living space while providing screens and windows to protect you from the elements. Rattan chairs, cushioned for your comfort, offer more spots to sit and relax and a desk off to the side will be the ideal spot for conducting virtual meetings when you can’t stay out of the office! Community amenities include a gorgeous resort-style pool, located just under your balcony, which is heated for your comfort in the cooler months. The beaches of Siesta Key are just a short walk from your unit and the owners provide beach gear, including chairs, toys, and a cooler for your snacks and beverages!
Sleep Well
Each bedroom of this unique unit provides ensuite baths and spacious footprints, ensuring guests don’t feel cramped in these serene retreats. The primary bedroom, anchored by a king bed with a padded headboard that will provide a comfortable spot for reading and scrolling through your favorite social networking sites before drifting off into a deep and restful sleep.

The bathrooms contain a tub/shower combo in one, a walk-in shower in the other, and updated fixtures and stone countertops, adding style to the spa-like rooms!
Skip the Steps
If you have ever had to walk up flights of stairs with luggage, beach gear, or groceries, you will appreciate the elevator that will quickly and easily bring you to your second-floor escape! The elevator makes this space ideal for travelers with mobility issues, as will the tile floors of the space and the open floorplan!

Located in beautiful Sarasota, just minutes away from the white sand beaches of Siesta Key and the luxurious shopping experiences offered by St. Armand’s Circle, the home is a charming example of mid-century modern craftsmanship, with emphasis on the modern.

Also pet friendly for up two pets, Grove Retreat truly embraces the concept of family and promises to offer a welcoming ambience that will be enjoyed by all who cross its doorstep!
Simply Stunning
Although Grove Retreat was constructed in the last millennium, when you step inside for the first time, you will instantly see that it is 100% modern! Tile floors lead the way into rooms that are open and filled with light and even as most walls are painted a crisp white, the occasional pop of color will add drama. Starting with the living room that stays bright all day long thanks to the wall of windows in front of which rests a comfortable leather sofa. Occasional chairs in a soft blue are perfect for reading and relaxing, but the drama and the color is the wall opposite the sofa. Painted a rich black, the modern 65-inch Smart television mounted to it contrasts beautifully with the rustic wood table that rests underneath. This large space is destined to be one of your many favorites in the home, and we hope you spend as much time as you can in the space, but now it’s time to move to the next space, the kitchen, the heart of the home! Tucked away in a space all its own, the kitchen is fully equipped, offering all the large and small appliances you need to create a meal, while the stone counters and white painted cabinets complement the stainless steel large appliances. A window over the sink peeks out into the expansive backyard, where a thrilling surprise awaits, and plenty of counter space gives occupants all the room needed for their various kitchen activities. The dining area, located just off the kitchen, is anchored by a large wood table and serves as a passageway to a second seating area. This second living area can be utilized as a conversation spot or even a fun place to read in the hammock style rattan chair that swings gently with a push of your foot.
Now the Fun Begins
The tour of public spaces has ended with your visit to the second living area, but there is still so much to uncover, starting with the large screened-in lanai, anchored with a crystal-clear swimming pool! Offering a safety fence that can help ensure the safety of your tiny travelers, the screens around the pool area help keep the pool clean of debris and also limit any creepy crawlies that may be trying to enjoy a refreshing dip. A large and comfortable outdoor sofa can be found on the patio, providing a great place to rest and relax, and the grassy area outside the pool area is ideal for letting the pups frolic.
Night Life at Grove Retreat
When the sun sets over the horizon and the stars begin to twinkle in the dark skies, the night life you seek will be more of the relaxing kind. In other words, travelers seeking a good night’s sleep will find exactly what they are hunting for in the bedrooms of Grove Retreat! The primary suite provides a comfy king bed, topped by soft as silk linens, and its own en suite bath with updated fixtures. The second bedroom offers a queen bed with a padded headboard and shares access to the second bath with the third bedroom, in which lies two twin beds that can be pushed together to make another king bed, for those who seek more space. A laundry area with full-sized washer and dryer is the last area we will explore today, offering a way to cut back on the packing and saving more room for the treasures you may find at St. Armand’s Circle.

Summer days feel like they should last forever, bringing carefree vibes and sunny days to our lives without end, but of course, they don’t. The days begin to shorten, the nights begin to cool, and before long, fall has arrived with its own set of fun and excitement, but still putting an end to our summer shenanigans. As we grow closer to this year’s end of summer, many Americans are starting to plan a Labor Day vacation that will send off the season in the best of ways! And because Florida is the land of eternal summer—we even have a license plate commemorating that very concept—a large portion of travelers make their way to our doorstep, soaking in the last bits of summer sun and fun! If your Labor Day journey is bringing you to Sarasota this year, your first bit of business should be finding a home; our Sarasota escapes at RentTheKeys will provide everything you need to be comfortable, relaxed, and to feel spoiled. Additionally, this guide to holiday adventures will help you fill every minute of your stay with excitement, joy, and all the summer shenanigans you can handle.
Sarasota Farmers Market, Saturdays from 7 AM- 1 PM, N Lemon Avenue
A summer farmers market exemplifies the season more than just about anything else, offering fresh produce, homemade baked goods, and a variety of arts, crafts, and gifts you never knew you needed until you were holding them in your hand! Our Sarasota Farmers Market offers all of the above, and with over 80 vendors setting up “shop,” it may take you every minute of the six hours they are open to examine all they provide. Cooler in these morning hours, guests can relax and enjoy, stocking up for the week ahead in their Rent the Keys holiday hideaway and picking up gifts for all the helpers back home that are picking up your mail, watering your plants, or taking care of your fur babies!
The Beach Awaits
There are lots of things you will be doing during your fabulous Florida vacation in Sarasota, but perhaps the one thing that will stand out the most is the time you spend at the beach. Our white sand beaches are amongst the most beautiful in the world, and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide a serenity that will become your obsession. Stake your claim on a section of the beach, marking your territory with colorful beach towels, umbrellas, and chairs, pack a cooler with your favorite snacks and beverages, and slather on the sun screen; your Labor Day celebration is about to wow!
The Mystery of the Mangroves
Although there is really no mystery to the beauty of the mangroves, tropical trees that survive and thrive in saltwater, as you kayak through forests of these unique trees and bushes, you may feel as if you stepped back in time, back to when the dinosaurs roamed freely and humans were not yet in existence. Arriving in America many millions of years ago, these trees are important to the environment, storing large amounts of carbon and attracting fish and other sea creatures to their roots. Some of our RentTheKeys holiday hideaways will offer kayaks for the use of guests, but if yours does not, you can rent one for this adventure or take a Mangrove Kayak Tour through Kayaking SRQ Tours and Rentals, learning even more about the importance of this tropical foliage!
At Home with RentTheKeys
It isn’t always necessary to go out exploring to have a fantastic time during your escape to Sarasota, as many of the best adventures can be had at home in your RentTheKeys holiday haven! Pick a Sarasota home with bay views and its own body of water in the backyard, a sparkling pool, and throw a family barbecue on that beautiful first Monday in September. (It’s September 4th this year, in case you were wondering!) Gas grills will make the fish you caught on your fishing expedition taste even sweeter, and outdoor furnishings give guests the perfect space to devour the holiday meal, perhaps as the sun is setting over the water. Choose a condo, in town or on the water and celebrate the holiday that pays homage to all your hard work by making use of community amenities that often include swimming pools, hot tubs, and barbecue grills. End the evening with a viewing of fun summer movies on state-of-the-art televisions or by playing board games with the entire family.
There are no rules as to how you must celebrate Labor Day when you choose RentTheKeys, just many wonderful options that will help create the best memories. Reserve your favorite property with us and contact us today!

It’s the wicker accents in #3 that will transport guests back to simpler times, a glass and wicker coffee table, a wicker stand perched below the television mounted to the wall, and glass dining table offering a wicker base and surrounded by comfortable chairs, also in wicker.

Small appliances are important too and the coffee maker in the kitchen can help ensure you and your family stay properly caffeinated throughout your stay!

Some of your best vacation memories will take place in these quiet moments, perhaps in the conversations you enjoy or the secrets you share with your favorite traveling partner. Siesta Key offers a vibrant night life, but the Gulf of Mexico and these white sand shores will offer you a serenity that only the sea can bring!
