Sarasota, Florida

Sarasota is located in Southwest Florida and faces the Gulf of Mexico. The city proper has a population of around 55,000 while the entire area boasts over 650,000. When starting a search for a Sarasota apartment know that planning has made it a very walkable city but with outer lying areas like Siesta Key, Longboat Key and Lido Key, you may want to own a car. The city is a series of linked keys leading out to beautiful beaches on the Gulf so you wouldn't want to miss those.

Circus Town

Sarasota is considered the cultural center of Florida so finding museums, music and other performing arts will be easy if not at the front door of your Sarasota apartment.Since the city was home to the Ringling Brothers Circus, you'll find many references to the Ringlings. A plantation, a museum and architecture all make many references to the family. The beach at Siesta Key is world famous for its 99% pure crystal quartz sand, and there's a whole cultural life that goes on there from sports to impromptu concerts and bonfires. Golf courses, tennis courts, running trails and other sports venues are readily available too.

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

Once in your Sarasota apartment, you'll learn that even dining and night life revolve around the waterfront. Marina Jack's offers both dock side dining as well as dinner boats and is a great way to learn the area and have great food at the same time.Captain Brian's is thought to have the absolutely freshest seafood of any restaurant.You think they just caught it! Up and down the waterfront, you'll find Mexican, Italian, Asian and burger places, and for the all important cup of coffee or breakfast, Simon's Coffee House is the best. They give you just as much attention if it is your first time there or if it is your 100th time. You'll love it.

Make a Party

If you don't want to make your own party at Siesta Key Beach, you've got plenty of choices to checkout once in your Sarasota apartment. Tommy Bahama's gets both tourists and locals and is a very upbeat, lively place for drinks and music. The Cock and Bull Pub probably has the largest of selection of beers in town, and if you are looking for a local Cheers type place, Linkster's is it. The Daiquiri Deck has seen better days but is still worth going to for the views and the drinks in Dixie Cups.
