Location

The pickleball and bocce courts are right by our Sarasota marina, tennis pro shop, Tennis Gardens, and Harbourside Golf Course while the Islandside Tennis Courts, Mind & Motion Studio, Spa, Links on Longboat Golf Course, and the beach are located closer to the guest rooms.

Our Sarasota Florida accommodations in Buildings 2 and 3 are the closest to the beach and pool.

Buildings 1 and 4 are slightly farther away from the pool, but still have beach views.

Buildings 6, 7, and 5 are a 5- to 7-minute walk to the beach (please note that you have to walk across Sands Point Road to get to the beach from Buildings 6 and 7).

The lagoon view suites are located in Buildings 6 and 7.

Longboat Key Club Moorings, the Florida gulf coast’s largest deep-water marina, and the Harbourside Golf Course are about a 4-mile drive from the Links and hotel accommodations.
