Off the islands, Sarasota is defined by a rich and varied arts scene that belies the size of the city. There's the famous John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, featuring an enormous selection of paintings -- including one of the largest collections of Rubens in the world.

Amazing backyard!
Very well-appointed cottage. The owners thought of everything. The place is very clean and up to date. The location is close to the bike trail and a short drive from Lido Beach. The star of the show is the backyard. It is definitely a tropical paradise. We spent our whole evenings out there. I definitely hope to return for a longer stay.

Great stay in Siesta Key
My family and I were so impressed with the accommodations. The home was very clean and well organized even the kitchen had labels so we could find everything and we cooked a lot. Everything was so clean and the kids were happy that they had so much beach equipment like boogie boards to take to the beach. We didn't have to rent anything when we went to the beach. The owners responded quickly through the VRBO App to respond to our unexpected requests and inquiries. Overall my family and I had a great time here and look forward to another stay.
