One of the advantages of staying in a vacation home is having your own kitchen, refrigerator, and plenty of space for meals and snacks. Siesta Key makes stocking up simple, with local markets on the island and larger grocery stores just across the bridge.
Guests staying in Siesta Key vacation rentals can pick up fresh seafood for dinner, ingredients for a poolside lunch, drinks for the evening, and everyday groceries without traveling far. Here are some of the best provision stores in and around Siesta Key.
Big Water Fish Market
Big Water Fish Market is a great stop when fresh Gulf seafood is on the menu. The boutique-style seafood market focuses on fresh fish, seafood, and produce and also carries specialty spices, sauces, and other products that pair well with seafood.
Pick up your favorites and prepare dinner back at one of our Siesta Key luxury vacation homes, where a fully equipped kitchen makes dining at home part of the vacation experience.
Crescent Beach Market
Crescent Beach Market is a locally owned grocery store with an impressive selection for its convenient island location. Shoppers can find fresh produce, meats, dairy products, grocery staples, deli salads, grab-and-go meals, sliced meats, cheeses, wine, local craft beer, and beach snacks.
The store also carries gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, and vegan options. It is an easy stop before heading to the beach or setting out for one of the many things to do in Siesta Key.
Morton’s Siesta Market
Morton’s Siesta Market offers another convenient option for stocking the kitchen without leaving the island. Its Siesta Key Village location makes it especially useful for picking up groceries, prepared foods, beverages, and other essentials during your stay.
For travelers in luxury Siesta Key vacation rentals, a quick market run means more time enjoying your private home and less time making long shopping trips.
Publix Super Market at Shops at Siesta Row
Publix Super Market at Shops at Siesta Row is located on South Osprey Avenue, a short drive from Siesta Key. The supermarket includes produce, meats and cheeses, a bakery, deli, and seafood department. Wine, beer, sushi, a hot bar, and pickup services are also available.
This is a practical stop for a larger grocery haul at the beginning of your vacation, especially if your group plans to cook several meals at home.
Publix Super Market at Shops at Sarasota Pavilion
Another convenient mainland option is Publix Super Market at Sarasota Pavilion. Located on South Tamiami Trail, this full-service grocery store has produce, meats and cheeses, seafood, a bakery, and a deli. Guests can also find sushi, a salad bar, hot foods, wine, and beer.
Stock up before a relaxing afternoon at one of our Siesta Key luxury rentals with a pool, or grab food and drinks before heading out for the day.
Siesta Key Liquors
Siesta Key Liquors provides a convenient option for beer, wine, spirits, and other beverages on the island. Its location makes it easy to pick up drinks for a sunset gathering, dinner at your vacation home, or an evening by the pool.
If your plans include Siesta Key boat charters, check with your charter operator about its food and beverage policies before packing a cooler.
