SRQ and TPA

SRQ is closest to the venue and most convenient however tends to be more expensive. TPA is ~1 hour away from the Sarasota area with typically more flight options available at a cheaper price.

Hotel

The Resort at Longboat Key Club

We have negotiated a pretty hefty discount using our room block code provided above starting at ~$329 a night as rooms typically cost upwards of $600 to even $1000 a night. We HIGHLY recommend staying onsite if able as the resort also includes access to a private beach, beach loungers/chairs/towels, beach front swimming pool, beach cruiser bicycles, and shuttles to all resort amenities (fitness center, golf course, spa, pickleball courts, etc.) and even to St. Armand's Circle on Lido Key. Room rates will be available for use from 2/3-2/10 using our room block discount. All reservations must be made NO LATER THAN 1/4/2026. All reservations are refundable up to 14 days prior to check in. February is part of peak season for this part of Florida, so we STRONGLY recommend booking early! You may access our room block directly by clicking below or by calling 866-258-7247.

Travel Note

Additional Information

We definitely recommend a rental car to better explore all that the area has to offer. If looking for an Airbnb/VRBO, use caution as the 2024 hurricane season was not too kind to some of our surrounding barrier islands. You may also find more affordable lodging further inland if needed.
