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...

 As time flies by, there are two separate and distinct Florida vacations you can enjoy. The first may be the one you imagine enjoying during a visit to Miami, filled with late nights spent at the clubs, days spent exploring the shopping culture, and evenings spent on epicurean exploration of the hottest restaurants in towns.   Beach days may be skipped by pool days at the hotel and bathing suits are...

Dream vacations can come true, you just have to make a little effort. Choosing the right destination (you chose Sarasota, so you can check that off your list!) the right vacation home (again, Rent the Keys was the perfect choice!), and the right activities! (It’s Florida, summer, and you are at the beach; there’s no way to mess that up!) And because Sarasota offers more than the best-tasting seafood you...

Oh, how we love the summer holidays here at RentTheKeys. Filled with a laid back excitement that don’t involve a whole lot of preparation, these celebrations are the epitome of what makes our nation special, involving family, food, and as is the case with 4th of July, fireworks celebrations that will awe, no matter how old or how young we are! Independence Day is a special event, both celebrating the...

There’s something about the scent of salt in the air. As if by magic, the first sniff loosens the tight muscles in our shoulders even before we hear the sounds of the waves that quickly follow. We kick off our too tight shoes, slip into our favorite swimsuits, and forget that somewhere out there, beyond the sand and the sea, is a world filled with trauma and strife. And when...

Winter all over the world was a hard one this year, featuring record-breaking snowfalls, incredibly low temperatures, and skies that were gray and sunless for far too long, and as you tear off another page on your calendar, there are two realizations that may occur: the first being that you miss the sun and warmth more than you ever thought possible, and the second being that it is time to...

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...

After choosing a destination, the second most important detail of your trip is choosing the place that will shelter you between adventures.

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. And because spring in Sarasota is one of the most beautiful times...
