Families might prefer our homes, desiring to ensure that the kids are comfortable and that parents have their own space to retreat to after a long day of fun in the Florida sun! Offering fenced-in backyards, many screened-in with pools and/or hot tubs, giving additional options for fun, some of our Sarasota escapes are also pet friendly, allowing guests to enjoy their adventures with their entire family. Bayfront properties are popular amongst our guests, often including private docks and a different type of waterfront excitement. Front verandas provide a space to sit and watch the neighborhood go by and the expansive screened-in lanais in back are where families will create their happiest memories as they swim, soak, and grill up the catch of the day that quite possibly was reeled in on the private dock just beyond the lanai!
Large kitchens with updated appliances can be used as often or as little as desired, and large bathrooms that will definitely be the rooms that get the most use, often featuring a welcome package of small shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and bath gels waiting on the vanities for you to use. At night, the bedrooms of our homes and condos in Sarasota are tranquil zones where only happy dreams are permitted and comfortable beds topped with silky linens will provide the deep sleep you have missed out on all these years of your adulthood! Every attention is paid to every detail and as you spend your days playing and exploring the Sarasota attractions we have listed below, you will soon discover that spending your nights in our RentTheKeys Sarasota escapes will be the highlight of your vacation experience, no matter how much fun and excitement you have been enjoying!
