Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club

Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club is one of the Gulf Coast's rare properties where competitive racquet sports and beachfront resort amenities occupy the same address, built for guests who take both seriously.

Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club functions as a full resort on Sarasota's Gulf Coast, combining on-site racquet courts with direct beach access in a configuration that draws both sports-focused travelers and guests who simply want a well-equipped base on the water. The dual identity of this property, surf and racquet, is not incidental branding; the courts and the coastline are genuinely co-equal features, each maintained as a primary amenity rather than an afterthought.

The resort sits on the barrier island side of Sarasota, which positions guests inside one of Florida's most consistently recognized beach destinations. Siesta Key's quartz-sand beaches and the cultural institutions of downtown Sarasota are both accessible from the property, giving the resort a geographic advantage that extends well beyond its own grounds. Guests oriented toward the arts, the water, or competitive play can make use of all three without relocating.

What distinguishes this resort from comparable Gulf Coast properties is the specificity of its amenity set. Many beachfront resorts in Florida have dropped or reduced racquet programming over time; Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club has kept it central to the guest experience. That continuity matters to a particular kind of traveler, one who wants a resort that still earns both halves of its name.

Since 1907, Siesta Key's beautiful white sandy beaches have been a haven for the weary traveler and local residents alike. Despite development, some things never change. Siesta Key still retains its beautiful beaches, clean water and tropical atmosphere. Its ambiance remains friendly and laid-back. Residents and visitors cherish these simple pleasures, and like those who came before them, still welcome the serenity of a Siesta Key Sunset.
