About this property

Just minutes from beautiful Sarasota Bay and lovely beaches! This upstairs guest room, a King, 1 BR with private bath, is located near Downtown Sarasota and the beaches. 5 minutes to Downtown, 5 minute drive to Lido Key Beach, close to Siesta Key! The Reserve Retreat boasts onsite restaurant, coffee and tea shop, craft beer and wine bar, a small independent bookstore, and live music. Free self-serve coffee every day in Coffee Shop from 8a.

The Reserve Retreat is a landmark property, steeped in Sarasota's rich art and cultural heritage. The three buildings were part of circus magnate Charles Ringling's estate before his Mansion was built. At various times, it was a boarding house and a circus performance venue. Today, it is a redeveloped gorgeous property with three buildings on a single parcel joined by a beautiful outdoor courtyard. It is across the street from the Sarasota Bay and just minutes to Downtown, and both Lido Key and Siesta Key beaches!

Conveniently located near Downtown Sarasota, the beaches, St. Armand's Circle, many performing arts venues, restaurants, and more! A great Sarasota escape close to the arts and nature and much more.

Washer and dryer on-site, too. Beach chairs and beach towels can be checked out for your convenience. Too many great points to list here!

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location

Not communicative

Prior to our arrival, we had not received any check-in instructions or a keypad code to access our lodging. The building was dark and we spent the first few minutes wandering around, looking for someone to help us. After having called the listed phone number twice and left two messages, as well as messaged through VRBO; we finally knocked on another guest’s door to see if we could get some help. They weren’t sure how to help, and after hanging around for about 10 min, not getting any response, we left. We didn’t hear anything at all from the hosts until 4 hours later, and it didn’t seem that they had received some of our earlier communication.

Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021

I have lived, in Sarasota for about 20 years and love the area. I purchased these historically significant buildings in 2016 and have lovingly restored them so that everyone can enjoy them, too!
