New guests are always welcome at Rolling Waves Beach Cottages. We find they soon become old friends. In fact, a few of our regulars recall the Winter of '48, when our tradition began on Longboat Key.

Eight sturdy vacation cottages were constructed in a tropical setting as rugged and individual as the patrons they beckoned. The 1920s drawbridge to Lido/St. Armands (with a connection mainland causeway) helped define "getting away from it all."

Today, when you visit, you'll find honest comfort in place of rugged. Still among vacation retreats we're as individual as you are. Rolling Waves is quaint and classic, a getaway where walks on the beach, boating, shelling, fishing...are as important as nearby Sarasota's sophisticated delights.
