I'm aware of Siesta key village (since it's closest) but where else does the young set BUZZ?

On a side point curious why you seem to be looking for a long term lease on a place you will only use sporadically. There are a lot of rentals where the owners barely use their place and are looking to rent out. If you are capable of scheduling your trips for say a year out I would contact a realtor that does rentals and see what price I could work out with scheduled stays.

I'm also a Jerseyite. I love flying Jet Blue into Sarasota from JFK but it's more money. We usually fly Jet Blue into Tampa. That airport is a pleasure. The problem with flying Jet Blue from Newark to Tampa or JFK to Sarasota is there are very few flights each day. If your flight is cancelled for any reason you could be stuck. However when you factor in a car service or car rental from Tampa the cost diff between Tampa vs Sarasota disappears.It's a pleasant commute from Tampa to Sarasota- one highway and about 50 mins.

We had good response and lived in Village Walk with a widower who needed mostly car rides here and there and ate meals with us. It worked out well. And we ended up buying in Palmer Ranch.

You had a complete stranger, a widow, open her home to you? Seriously? And didn't drive and lived all the way out in Palmer Ranch?

We looked at Palmer Ranch and didn't want to be that isolated. I cannot imagine the hell of living out there and not being able to drive.
