    Housing Options in Sunny Sarasota

    Rising Tide is 10 minutes from Siesta Key Beach, perennially one of the top 10 beaches in the country! Healing quartz crystal sands, mellow waves, shallow waters, and plenty of room to walk or soak up the sun. May is when “Season” is over.

    We recommend looking on these websites for housing options, and thinking about pairing up with others you know who are part of the program:

    AirBnB & Rental Homes Reserve early if possible and watch out for cleaning fees! Lots of AirBnB options, also try VRBO

    Hotels — nearby (less than 10min drive) include Siesta Key Palms Resort, The Hibiscus Suites,  Spark by Hilton, or for something right by the beach, try Tropical Beach Resorts or The Capri.  Search Booking.com or other sites to see places closer by — you can find rental houses on Booking.com too. You can also find Days Inn not far away, or Comfort Suites, for something more affordable.

    Rising Tide — We are exploring this option as a possibility for those needing to save funds. Please contact risingtideinternational@gmail.com if you are interested in something very basic, bring your own bedding or tent kind of arrangement.

    Local homestays — There aren’t a ton of homestays in the local community but if you’re interested in this, local Sufis and Dancers might have an extra bed or couch! Contact us  about that
