Updated 10/16/24 *No damage from hurricanes! We are located off Tamiami Trail in a quiet and safe neighborhood close to Siesta Key. If you are currently displaced from Hurricane Milton or need to come and check on your property on a barrier island - we are centrally located to access Siesta Key and further south or north to St Armand's, Lido and Longboat Key, or AMI. For other guests - Some of the barrier islands are open to the public like Siesta Key (Still need to confirm the beach is open for public use but there are sands on road and the pavilion is closed there, but I noticed people on the beach that day. Also, many of the businesses will still be closed on Siesta Key as repairs happen). St Armand's Circle is open to access but and 3 restaurants have reopened and a couple of shops as of 10/20/24 More may open in a week or 2. Some will take longer. Lido Beach was open today with acceptable water quality and there were many people out on the beach this morning - 10/16/24. Longboat Key remains currently closed while repairs happen. We are waiting to confirm access to Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island. However, Sarasota and Bradenton plus surrounding areas on the mainland are open and you can enjoy everything like restaurants and shopping. Downtown Sarasota is vibrant and businesses are staying busy! We will update this once we have more info* We also have another 1 BR cottage available* Inquire with us
