As the world is still recovering from the most recent troubles, you, as a business owner may be feeling an even deeper appreciation for the workers who stayed on an even keel, keeping things running as smoothly as possible while the rest of the world was not doing as well. There are many ways you can reward your loyal and hardworking employees, including extra time off, gift certificates to their favorite restaurants, and celebratory occasions that include the giving of trophies and awards, but perhaps the one thing that will show your appreciation the most, will be a corporate retreat to the Florida Keys. Offering a unique timeout from work, fun activities, and when you choose our RentTheKeys Florida Keys corporate retreat rentals, comforts and luxuries that will put an end to any doubts of your gratefulness to each and every one of your employees forevermore.
The Space You Need in a Florida Keys Corporate Retreat
There are a lot of different things you will need to consider when planning a corporate retreat, with perhaps the most important detail being the space you will need to house them all. Perhaps you will want to rent a selection of condos all located in the same complex, preferably on the same floor, but your best bet may be either a single property home, or a compound of some sorts. Our Siesta Key sanctuaries offer all of the above qualities, ensuring that it will be easy to find the property that will house everyone during this time away from real life and because entertainment matters as much as comfort (in our minds) each of the properties you will consider will also offer a long list of amenities guaranteed to make this adventure fun and exciting.
Rooms with Purpose
As you and your group of employees step inside the property you chose, the looks on their faces as they take in all the beauty that surrounds them should be a reward in itself, and as you explore each room, the smiles are only going to grow bigger. Living rooms with plush furnishings and state of the art televisions will be large enough for everyone to hang out in the moments they aren’t exploring their Florida surroundings. The kitchen spaces offer high-end appliances and everything needed to prepare a meal and serve it to your happy traveling companions. Outdoor dining spaces can often be combined with the indoor ones, and the dining tables that you eat at are also great places to participate in some team building exercises or even impromptu meetings discussing where your company will go from here, thanks to all their hard work. And if you chose one of our compounds, or even our Happy Coconuts townhomes that offer one building, two complete households, and a total of six bedrooms, you will also get to enjoy two of everything: two living rooms, two kitchens, two dining rooms, and more.
Having Fun Together Is a Team Building Activity
The amenities our corporate retreat rentals offer will act as a team building activity and as they swim in the crystal-clear waters of a private pool, soak in hot tubs, or even drop their lines off the private docks of some of our standalone homes, they will be building friendships as well. Even doing ordinary chores such as cooking or grilling can be fun, and in our properties with outdoor kitchens and grills, they won’t have to give up any time in the Florida sunshine when it is their turn to take part in cooking for the group. Properties with private docks deserve to have boats tied to them, and there will be plenty of boat rental companies that will make it easy to find the one you need. For a larger group we suggest a pontoon boat that, although it isn’t the best for water skiing or tubing, can offer an idyllic afternoon of fun on the open waters and will feature room for everyone to go on a sunset cruise. The Florida sunset is one that is acclaimed the world over and chances are, whether you rent a boat or not, every activity you are participating in will be halted as you stand amazed, staring at the fire in the sky.
Things to Do as a Large Group
Now, you definitely can spend all your time at home with RentTheKeys enjoying the amenities we listed above or simply resting, relaxing, and recuperating from the chaos of real life, but chances are you will want to venture out at least a few times during your stay, including visits to the white sand beaches where all troubles disappear and the serenity of the sea burrows into your soul. Below we have listed a few of our favorite restaurants that have room for larger groups and some activities that may be of interest to you and your employees.
• Play Beach Volleyball on Siesta Key at Siesta Beach – Multiple sand courts will ensure that everyone gets a chance at the net.
• Rumrunners, 5848 Cape Harbour Drive in Cape Coral – Offering an upscale steak and seafood dining experience, this restaurant could be a great choice for a special occasion night.
• Quick Point Nature Preserve, 100 Gulf of Mexico Drive on Longboat Key – Serene, tranquil, and offering a variety of trails, mangrove forests, lagoons, and more, the preserve provides the opportunity to explore the natural side of the area of Longboat Key.
• Five Nine Grill & Tavern, 5718 Cortez Road in Bradenton – When it is time to let your hair down and chill, the Five Nine Grill & Tavern is one suggestion you will truly appreciate. Offering multiple televisions that are always turned to the big games and a large selection of craft beers, everyone will feel comfortable and at home in this bar that can accommodate large groups.
• The Ringling, 5401 Bay Shore Road in Sarasota – The circus is a big deal in this part of the world, especially as John Ringling and his wife made their home here. The Ringling offers a circus museum, tours of the property and the gardens, an art museum, and a 18th century Italian theater that was dismantled and shipped from Italy to the doorstep of the Ringling.
Every Employees Dream Vacation Come True
There is never enough time to really get to know these hard working people who do their best to make your business a success, but by offering them a dream vacation, you will benefit by getting a better understanding of everything that makes them tick. Late night talks around the dining tables, impromptu dance parties as you chop vegetables and whip up margaritas for the evening meal, even early morning cups of coffee shared with the early risers in your group. These moments will be the ones that help build a relationship between you and your employees in ways you never dreamed possible and we at RentTheKeys are happy that we can share a part in that, offering homes that will be an integral part of your retreat experience.
