Longboat Key · Lido Key · St. Armand's

The quiet side of the Gulf Coast.

An insider's guide to Sarasota's barrier islands — and a curated collection of luxury homes and condos for the kind of stay you don't want to end.

Why here

Three barrier islands, each with its own temperament — and some of the quietest luxury beach on Florida's Gulf Coast.

Longboat Key keeps its sand uncrowded and its pace slow. Lido Key pairs a wide public beach with mangrove tunnels and a walk to the shops. St. Armand's Circle draws everyone in for the evening. Together they make one of the most livable stretches of coast in the state — especially for the month-long stays this collection is built around.
