The end of the year holidays are just around the corner, and the noise that accompanies those holidays may already have you metaphorically holding your hands over your years—and no, we aren’t just talking about sound noise. We at Rent Siesta Key are discussing the noise that hurts your soul, such as ungrateful gift recipients at Christmas and the noise that takes over your heart when your adult kids can’t make it home for the holidays. All this noise may make you long for a quiet getaway to someplace where you can savor serenity and relax in preparation for the days that lie ahead, something that Siesta Key is well known for, especially during the quiet season. This guide will help you fill your moments with fun, peace, and, most of all, quiet.
The Best Months
Every vacation destination has a different time of year that is considered the “off season,” or in this case, the quiet season, and Siesta Key’s may surprise you. The off season runs from June to November. Summers can be a bit too sultry for many travelers, but if you are looking for the best months to visit, September through November takes that title. School is starting and families are often home dealing with all the hubris that accompanies the beginning of a new school year, meaning that less people are flying to our white sand beaches. The humidity begins to release its hold on us, the mercury starts to dip (but not so far as to make it too cold for a carefree beach day), and the prices in stores and restaurants begin to lower. Add in the fact that our Rent Siesta Key seasonal sanctuaries will be more available than during the peak times of the year, and well, we simply can’t imagine a better time to fly the friendly skies to our piece of paradise!
Festivals and Fun
With the cooler weather also comes the desire to spend more time outside and less time inside huddling close to the air conditioner, and some of our quiet season festivals and events are sure to add sparkle to your Florida adventures. The Sarasota Opera Annual Food and Wine Fest, taking place at 61 N Pineapple Avenue just over the bridge in Sarasota, is held on the last day of summer this year, offering visitors the opportunity to sip and savor the food and beverages provided by the best restaurants in town. And as we move deeper into the quiet season, you can rest assured that lines won’t be as long, waits will be shorter, and more exciting festivals begin to appear on our horizon, including the Sarasota Water Lantern Festival and Sarasota Pride Fest, both held in October. For fun closer to your home sweet vacation home (or condo), the much beloved Siesta Key Drum Circle takes place every Sunday on Siesta Beach, starting approximately an hour before the sun sets and providing a much cooler experience in these cooler months!
Your Own Private Beach
While we can’t promise that the wide sands will be absolutely people-free, this time of year the probability of their being more open spaces and less sun worshippers is very high. Expand your footprint on those soft and white sands, maybe setting out two beach blankets and multiple umbrellas, knowing you aren’t being greedy, there’s plenty of room to play. Feeling much the same way it does for the early risers who walk along shore’s edge at sunrise, but without all that unnecessary getting out of bed far too soon, your beach days will be filled with fun, peace, and a surprising amount of quiet during this wonderful time of year.
Siesta Key Farmers Market, 5211 Ocean Boulevard
There is one more event we think you will especially enjoy during your quiet season explorations, and that is a visit to the Siesta Key Farmers Market. Open on Sundays from 9AM until 2 PM and offering everything from art to zucchini, your Rent Siesta Key kitchen will be fully stocked with the freshest of goodies and the empty spots in your suitcase will begin to be filled with treasures that will remind you of the good times you had during your Siesta Key quiet season vacation.
Serene and Peaceful
When you step inside your Siesta Key escape for the first time, you will immediately notice the Rent Siesta Key difference. Serene and quiet, our peaceful spaces will fill a part of your heart you never knew needed to be filled. Sleep in late every day, watch the sun set from balconies that overlook turquoise waters framed by gleaming white sand beaches, and fall asleep every night knowing you have so much more comfort, luxury, peace, and quiet to look forward to. Contact us and reserve your favorite seasonal sanctuary today!
