The Ridgewater

*Brand New Remodel! Fall of 2024. Everything is New!*

Enjoy the best of Sarasota in The Ridgewater, our magnificent waterfront home with unobstructed views from its location on the mainland side of the Intracoastal Waterway. This is more than a rental; it is a beloved house where the actual experience is more satisfying than any picture could ever convey.

Step inside this exquisite Sarasota house, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to ensure a wonderful trip. The Ridgewater is a rare find in Sarasota as it is one of the few private waterfront rental properties. Located in the quiet Sarasota neighborhood of Aqualane Estates, this property provides the best of both worlds: quiet exclusion and central location to the best of Sarasota, including Siesta Key beaches and vibrant Downtown Sarasota.

The Ridgewater is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom single-story property perfect for couples and families up to 5. Recently renovated in the Fall of 2024, the home features a fully stocked kitchen, exquisitely appointed living spaces, dining space for 6, and a private ensuite for the Primary Bedroom. The Ridgewater also features a private office overlooking the Inter-Coastal, complete with a monitor, printer, and great WIFI.

Marvelous Outdoor Spaces for Living

There is an additional $35/night/pet fee. Guests may be responsible for any additional damages or additional cleaning that may be required due to excessive pet hair.
