Clearwater’s shoreline is gorgeous until traffic stalls on the causeway and every square foot of sand fills by noon. That’s why savvy locals choose Sheraton Sand Key Resort for their summer staycation: a private, guest-only beach spanning 13 pristine acres where you never need to fight for elbowroom. Book just four rooms (or up to nine) and unlock our exclusive Small-Group Staycation rate—25 %–30 % off the standard price. With home barely an hour away, you’ll arrive faster than most tourists find parking, then settle into newly refreshed rooms whose balconies frame the Gulf, not the crowds. Here, your own backyard finally feels like the vacation it deserves.

Play, Paddle & Unwind

Your staycation kingdom is a self-contained playground where the only lines you’ll meet are on a volleyball court. Spend the morning testing the resort-style pool or pedaling seaside bikes toward Sand Key Park’s quiet trails, then swap wheels for waves: Wet Rentals & Tours can upgrade the hype with floating tiki bars and lightning-quick Jetcars—all launched mere steps from your lounger. We also offer kayaks, jet skis, and banana boats available to rent if those are more your style. The best part? Every thrill unfolds on private sand reserved for guests, far from the bottleneck's locals dodge all summer.

When the sun climbs higher, the itinerary shifts to pure, hometown-style fun. We offer various activities Friday-Saturday such as limbo showdowns, photo scavenger hunts, shell workshops by the poolside for kids, and jump-rope face-offs on the tide-packed shoreline—and much more.

Evenings deliver a fresh menu of memories. Gather around a crackling bonfire as the sky bleeds pink, then roll out blankets for an oceanside movie—complimentary popcorn in hand, sea-salt air for surround sound. Still hungry for hands-on flavor? Reserve a coveted seat at our chef-led pizza workshop, where Italian-honed technique meets Gulf-coast flair and every participant takes home a custom Sand Key apron (plus bragging rights for dinner back home). Cap the night with the resort’s limited-edition 50th-anniversary cocktail and toast to a day that felt gloriously tourist-free, yet only a short drive from your front door.

Plan & Pack—We’ll Handle the Rest

No flights, no marathon drives, no overcrowded public beaches—just your people, your private slice of sand, and a price that makes group chats explode with thumbs-up emojis. Gather four or more rooms, pick your preferred weekend, and let us secure everything from adjoining keys to indoor backup space (a full 24 000 sq ft) in case Florida’s sky decides on a cameo.
