Fine sand beneath your feet. Shallow waters revitalizing you in the heat of the Gulf. Farm-to-picnic pickings relaxing on Siesta Key with a little beachside BBQ. Fragrant summer flowers blooming in the night. Maybe a nap. That's that Sarasota life.

Tourists flock to Sarasota year-round to visit those perfect beaches, take in the town's unique architecture, enjoy the stunning sunsets. But you're one of the lucky ones: you get to live here! And you can make living here even better by making sure your home is protected with ADT monitored home security. ADT can even help keep your home safe from the unique weather dangers of the area with smart home technology including flood detectors. That means when you're out and about enjoying all that Sarasota has to offer—including the hidden spots we're not going to mention here so's the tourists don't find out—you'll know your home is safe.

Okay, we have to mention one, just to brag a little. After all, not many people can decide to play hooky from work for an afternoon to kayak through the mangrove tunnels of Lido Key. But you can, and you should. Your bosses won't mind—it means they can play hooky too.
