Exceptional Hosting & Personalized Support
As described!
Property was exactly as described! Very clean, a short walk to the beach, plenty of hot water, decently comfortable beds. Had just about everything you need - shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. The only negative is the couch isn’t very comfortable. Everything else was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay.

FAQs
for Guests Staying in the Suncoast Community
Weather & Best Time to Visit
Florida in January can be beautiful but unpredictable. Some days are warm and sunny, while others can be cooler, especially in the mornings and evenings. Even when it's chilly, the sun is always shining.
It depends on what you're looking for. Winter (December–March) is ideal for escaping the cold. Spring (April–May) offers great weather without the crowds. Summer (June–August) is humid and perfect for beach lovers. Fall (September–November) is warm, with fewer tourists and pleasant ocean temperatures.
Winters in the Suncoast area are mild, with daytime temperatures usually in the 60s-70s°F (15-25°C). It can get cooler in the evenings, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea.
Safety & Nature
Hurricane season runs from June to November, but strong storms are rare. The Suncoast region is well-prepared, and visitors typically don't experience any issues. If a storm were to develop, there would be plenty of advance notice.
Yes, like anywhere in Florida, sharks exist in the ocean, but attacks are extremely rare. The waters are safe, and lifeguards monitor popular beaches. Avoid swimming at dawn or dusk, and you'll be fine.
Alligators live in Florida's freshwater lakes, ponds, and canals, but they typically stay away from people. They are not found in the ocean or on the beaches. If you're near a lake or river, always be cautious and avoid feeding wildlife.
Jellyfish can occasionally appear, especially after storms or in warmer months, but they are not common. Local lifeguards post warnings if jellyfish are present.
Getting Around
Not necessarily. Anna Maria Island has free trolleys (for a tip), bike rentals, walkable streets and most of all you are allowed to use a golf cart around the entire island, making it easy to explore without a car. However, if you want to visit Sarasota, Longboat Key, or other nearby areas, a car is recommended.
The closest major airport is Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), about 20–30 minutes from most Suncoast destinations. Tampa International Airport (TPA) is about an hour away. You can rent a car, take an Uber/Lyft, or arrange a private shuttle.
Beaches & Activities
Anna Maria Island – Laid-back and picturesque with soft white sand. Coquina Beach – Great for families with picnic areas and calm waters. Lido Beach – Close to St. Armands Circle, perfect for a beach day with dining nearby. Siesta Key Beach – Famous for its powdery quartz sand and clear waters.
Most beaches are public, but some areas have private access for residents or rental properties. There are plenty of public access points with parking available.
Yes, the Gulf of Mexico is warm most of the year. In summer, water temperatures can reach the mid-80s°F (29-30°C), while in winter, they may drop to the high 60s°F (20°C), which is still swimmable for most people.
Many rentals come with beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, and coolers. If not, they can be easily rented at the beach or purchased nearby.
Most public beaches in the area do not allow dogs, but there are dog-friendly beaches like Brohard Paw Park in Venice. Many parks and outdoor spaces in the area welcome dogs.
Accommodation & Amenities
No need to pack extra. Michaela's rentals are fully equipped with everything you need, from towels to kitchen supplies. Just bring your flip-flops and enjoy your stay. If anything is missing, it can be arranged quickly.

Dining & Local Recommendations
The Waterfront (Anna Maria Island) – Great seafood with a waterfront view. Columbia Restaurant (Sarasota, St. Armands Circle) – Historic spot for Cuban cuisine. Tide Tables (Corte beach) – Casual seafood with a lively atmosphere. Shore (Longboat Key, St. Armands Circle) – Modern dining with fresh seafood and great cocktails.
Yes, grocery delivery services like Instacart and Publix Delivery are available. Many guests also use Walmart+ or Amazon Fresh for convenience.
The Suncoast has a relaxed vibe, but Sarasota offers rooftop bars, live music, and trendy cocktail lounges. Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key are quieter but have beachfront bars and tiki-style spots.
