*St Armand's Circle is open to the public and some stores and restaurants have reopened and we have repaired the flood damage after being hit by both hurricanes Helene and Milton - it was only to the lower downstairs hallway to the Beachy Speakeasy. The unit itself, did NOT get water inside as it is up 2 small flights of stairs. We are hosting again and accepting reservations
Now, about this place! Forget the conventional—this condo's got a secret. Tucked behind an unassuming door lies a vibrant world, drawing inspiration from speakeasy culture blended with a laid-back beach vibe. Your adventure starts the moment you step in, greeted by a hidden washer and dryer, a concrete-floor corridor leading to a quirky 2 small flight stairways (no elevators here!), and a code-locked doorknob entrance to your abode on the second floor for extra security and privacy..
Inside, discover a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath haven with a fully equipped kitchen. The fusion of beachy elements and speakeasy accents is evident in every nook and cranny.
Parking? Fear not! While dedicated parking isn't available, fret not, as the Beachy Speakeasy is a haven for pedestrians and Uber aficionados. Want to bike around? You can rent electric scooters and bikes nearby next to the old St Armand's Market building on S Blvd of Presidents & Monroe St, or use electric scooter rentals available around the Circle in different locations that have an app to rent from We provide beach gear, and even a trusty beach wagon for a hassle-free time at the shore without the parking fuss.
Ah, transportation! Explore the area with ease—the a free trolley whisks you from St Armand's Circle to Downtown Sarasota and beyond. And if wheels are your preference, plenty of nearby free and paid parking spots await.

**Regarding Location & Entry** : It's true, our door resides in an unexpected locale between dumpsters and trash cans from neighboring retail stores and restaurants. Our entrance is located on the rear side of the building. We're drawing inspiration from hidden speakeasies, bringing a touch of adventure to your stay. Rest assured, you are in a safe & well lit area and in a nice neighborhood. We strive for transparency so you know exactly what to expect before stepping foot in this vibrant retreat!
***In regards to Florida's natural wildlife, floral and fauna, we will sometimes experience mosquitoes, ants, spiders, cockroaches, etc. outside. We have regular pest treatments performed both inside & outside the units. We also personally, utilize bait, traps and sprays to keep these insects outside where they belong. Please don't keep windows without screens or doors open too long as you nay inadvertently let some inside. Should you come across any pests during your stay, please make us aware so we can address the situation. While it's rare to come across these pests inside, a refund will not be offered for the occasional occurrence. We always want you to be comfortable during your stay and you will find that we act quickly and with compassion to resolve any issues you have. We just need to be aware of it in order to resolve anything. ***
