My husband and I live in Chicago and have come to Sarasota several times on vacation and have fell in love with the beautiful beaches, friendly locals, wonderful restaurants/pubs and the huge variety of things to do. You may even run into a few celebrities as we have! We loved it so much that we purchased a vacation condo and have had the ...

I lived here for 5 years, but moved to San Diego for better pay long ago. Still, Sarasota is where I point my plane when I want to relax! Fly into Tampa and drive (1 hour) to Sarasota if you want to save $100 each on your air fare.

Best vacation you'll ever have if you want to relax in a tropical paradise... Go between Easter and ...

This is it for me....nice, artsy city with good restaurants and plenty of shopping and entertainment....great condo rentals on the barrier islands of Longboat and Lido Key....and you cannot beat the beaches....simply georgeous....good selection of golf courses as well....

My family and I traveled there this past winter and had a great time. Weather was good and the family enjoyed it. The beaches are obviously why people go here. We stayed on Lido Beach which was very nice.

Saw too many elder citizens driving who should not be. Had more than one car ...

I'm well traveled and before you move here get educated or you are in for a shock! Go to city demographics and other online sorces. I am a single female in my thirties.

It's a very good city with a beautiful beach and wonderful weather. The traffic is convenient, the hotels are nice. Besides, there are many good resturants and shops. You can go shopping and enjoy the food there.

I have lived in Sarasota all my life, I was born in Sarasota Memorial hospital. I love Sarasota, I believe Sarasota to be a national treasure, but many developers have noticed it's beauty and are now out to exploit that which makes Sarasota one of the most beautiful towns in the world. The beaches are increasingly more crowed each year and with ...

This was my vacation destination for years and I dreamed to live here one day. It has been home for the past 5 years and I'm not planning to move anytime soon. Come a visit Bradenton/Sarasota and enjoy our sub-tropical environment. You'll be glad you did.

I've lived in the area for 30 years. I have seen many changes and I must say not for the better. The previous generation of citizens are now passing on and the yuppies are taking over making Sarasota like EVERY other small town, no charm. They respect nothing here, tear it down and build something else. If that fails tear that down and put ...
