Rental Cars
Rental cars in the area have been hard to come by. If planning to rent a car, do it as soon as you can! Fleets have been cut due to Covid and companies have limited supply. If you can, share a rental with another party, that would be great! Uber and Lyft are also options for getting around but depending on the demand, prices vary greatly. We can also put you in touch with other guests that may be staying in the same area as you that could give you a lift every now and then.
Travel Note
Nearby Airports
If you are planning to fly to our location, the closest airport is Sarasota (SRQ). Other nearby airports that are also on the smaller side are Punta Gorda (PGD) and St. Pete (PIE). Tampa International (TPA) is also about the same distance away but is larger and may have more flight options. All of these airports, besides Sarasota, are about a 45-60 minute car ride away.
