Neighborhood
Situated in the well-established Ridge Wood Heights neighborhood of Sarasota, this apartment offers the best of both worlds — a quiet, tree-lined residential community with remarkably easy access to everything that makes Sarasota one of Florida's most beloved cities. Siesta Key Beach, consistently ranked among the top beaches in the entire country, is just a short drive away. With its famous powdery white quartz sand and warm Gulf waters, it's the kind of beach that earns its reputation — and it never gets old. Siesta Key Village, just beyond the beach, offers a lively mix of restaurants, boutiques, and live entertainment for evenings out on the island. Right around the corner is the Gulf Gate Village corridor — a local favorite packed with independently owned restaurants, cafés, specialty shops, and the kind of neighborhood dining scene that keeps residents from ever needing to venture far for a great meal. The Gulf Gate Golf Club is also nearby for those who want to squeeze in a round between beach days. Downtown Sarasota is roughly 15 minutes away, putting world-class cultural attractions well within reach — the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, the Ringling Museum of Art, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, the weekly Saturday Farmers Market, and a thriving waterfront dining scene are all easily accessible. St. Armand's Circle and Lido Beach are equally close, offering upscale shopping and another stunning stretch of Gulf coastline. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Legacy Trail runs nearby — a paved multi-use path stretching over 18 miles through Sarasota County, ideal for cycling, running, and taking in the Florida landscape at a slower pace.
Guest Access
Guests will have exclusive and private access to the entire 1-bedroom bungalow. This includes all interior spaces, the front sitting area, and the large, private side patio. Enjoy the entire space to yourselves for a truly private and comfortable stay.
Good to know
Tucked into Sarasota's tree-lined Ridge Wood Heights neighborhood, this bright 1-bedroom bungalow comfortably hosts up to four guests. The queen bedroom offers plenty of storage, and the living room's pullout sofa gives extra sleeping space for a small group. The kitchen comes fully stocked -- dishwasher, stove, oven, fridge, plus both drip and Keurig coffee makers for the caffeine-particular. Central air, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a high chair and travel crib for families traveling with little ones round out the comforts. Step outside to a private side patio with lounge seating, ideal for soaking up Florida sun, plus a small sitting nook at the entrance. We supply beach chairs, an umbrella, and towels so you're set for Siesta Key without packing extra gear. Location-wise, you're minutes from Gulf Gate Village's restaurants and shops, about 10 minutes from Siesta Key's world-ranked beach, and 15 minutes from downtown Sarasota's museums, gardens, and waterfront dining. SRQ airport is a quick 20-25 minute drive. Self check-in makes arrival effortless, and we're always reachable for questions during your stay. Note: the driveway is shared with the neighboring unit, so please park considerately.
Other Details to Note
The driveway is shared with another unit. Please be courteous when parking to ensure both residences have clear access. Self check-in details will be provided prior to your arrival for a smooth and easy start to your vacation.
