Imagine a place where luxury meets flexibility, where downtown Sarasota vibes collide with high-end resort living, and where you actually can rent your condo out for short vacations without jumping through hoops. That place is Saravela — Sarasota’s newest, smartest, most shareable address on the Gulf Coast.
If you’re a buyer who loves a home that pays you back, or an investor looking for a rare short-term rental opportunity — Saravela deserves your full attention.
1. Downtown Sarasota, But Make It Luxe
Saravela stands tall in the heart of downtown Sarasota, surrounded by theaters, galleries, park-front sunsets, bayfront dining, marinas, shopping, and more culture than you knew existed this side of Broadway.
This is not your typical “condo with a pool.” This is lifestyle living, steps away from everything that makes Sarasota a world-class destination.
2. Resort-Level Amenities Across Multiple Levels
Saravela doesn’t just check boxes — it builds a whole new checklist. Here’s what you actually get inside this high-rise:
-
Stylish lobby with concierge and valet service
-
Rooftop pools, outdoor bars, fire pits, and lounge spaces
-
Fitness studios, spa, sauna, cold plunge, and yoga rooms
-
Game lounges, duckpin bowling, kids’ splash pad, and picnic areas
-
Private offices and co-working spaces
-
Dog run + dog wash station
-
EV charging, storage, and indoor parking
-
Social lounges with wine vaults and catering kitchens
-
Smart tech throughout the building to manage your residence effortlessly.
You might never want to leave — but guests probably will want to book you anyway.
**3. **Three-Day Minimum Rentals — Here’s Why That Matters
This is the fun part.
Saravela is the first downtown Sarasota high-rise to offer owners the flexibility to participate in a three-day minimum short-term rental program — fully managed on-site.
Why is that a big deal?
Most of Sarasota and the surrounding county requires longer minimums (often weekly or monthly) for short-term rentals under local ordinances. That typically leaves owners unable to compete in the booming vacation rental market unless they jump through regulatory hoops. Saravela flips that script.
With this program:
✔ You can occupy your condo when you want it
✔ You can rent it out for short stays when you’re not there
✔ On-site management handles bookings, housekeeping, and guest service
✔ Guests get hotel-style convenience in a full condo
In short: Your home becomes a revenue-producing asset without the headaches. Of course, all rentals must still comply with city rules and certificates of use for vacation rentals, so always check local licensing requirements.
4. Residences Designed for Comfort and Profit
From cozy one-bedroom layouts to expansive three-bedroom condos and even street-level townhomes, Saravela’s residences feature:
-
Designer finishes curated by Steven G.
-
Italian cabinetry
-
Sub-Zero and Bertazzoni appliances
-
Floor-to-ceiling windows for that irresistible Sarasota light.
Fully furnished options make listing for short stays even easier — and more appealing for guests who expect move-in-ready comfort.
5. Buyer and Investor Appeal
Saravela starts in a premium bracket (units have been reported to begin under $1 million) and with its turnkey nature and flexible rental program, it’s perfect for:
-
Investors looking for short-term rental yield
-
Second-home buyers who want rental income
-
Empty-nesters wanting a downtown pied-a-terre
-
Seasonal residents who come for Sarasota’s sunshine and sports
Plus, with curated services like valet, concierge, grocery delivery, and optional housekeeping, you don’t just buy a condo — you buy peace of mind.
6. Final Thoughts
Saravela isn’t just another tower on the skyline — it’s a new way to own property in Sarasota. With elegant design, resort-style amenities, and a flexible three-day minimum rental program that marries lifestyle with cash flow potential, this high-rise is setting a new standard for luxury living and smart investing.
If you’re thinking about a property that works for you instead of sitting pretty, Saravela might just be your next move.
