Save this for your visit to Sarasota

Summer travel, but make it easier on families.

We recently checked out the newly opened @staybridgesuites Sarasota – Bradenton Airport and wanted to share this option with you if you’re planning a family trip this summer.

What stood out to us is how this stay is set up to make traveling with kids a little more manageable, especially for longer stays or multi-day trips.

Here are a few things families would appreciate:

🍳 Complimentary hot breakfast daily (one less thing to plan every morning 🙌🏽)

🍽️ Suite-style rooms with full kitchens, perfect for snacks, quick meals, or picky eaters

🏊🏽‍♀️ Outdoor pool to unwind after a full day out

🏋🏽‍♀️ 24-hour fitness center if you want to stay active while traveling

🧺 Laundry on-site (because kids 😅)

🥂 Evening social hours on select nights with light bites + drinks

🐾 Pet-friendly options if you’re bringing the whole family

Location-wise, it’s about 20 minutes from the beach, so you can plan your beach days without needing to stay directly on the water and still be close to some of Sarasota’s most popular spots.

It’s also super convenient being near the airport, which makes travel days a little smoother.

If you’re looking for a stay that gives you space, flexibility, and some built-in conveniences, this is one to keep on your list for summer.
