Often touted to be Florida’s cultural hub, Sarasota has remained relatively untouched by the jazziness of some of the other cities in the state. Although that should and does not take away from the attractiveness of Sarasota – there are plenty of spots, such as Ca’ d'Zan, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota Classic Car Museum, and Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park (among others) that make it an entirely fun getaway destination. Plus, an added bonus of a waterfront setting and easy access to the popular barrier island beaches that the city enjoys. You’ll find plenty of things to do and waterfront dining spots here. Check into one of these top Airbnbs in Sarasota, Florida, and start your exploration right away.
