Tides at Waterside

Tides at Waterside is a 366-unit build-to-rent community in Sarasota, Florida, developed at 9.60 units per acre as a one-story neighborhood of villa and townhome-style residences. The site plan prioritizes a single-family residential feel through a network of low-rise bungalow forms, private fenced yards, screened lanais, and walkable internal streets organized around a central lakefront amenity district. Architecturally, the community draws from a fresh coastal vocabulary with pastel siding, board-and-batten detailing, shallow roof forms, and porch-oriented entries that soften density and reinforce a for-rent product positioned between conventional apartments and detached homes.

Interior design supports that identity through a bright, coastal clubhouse expression featuring quartz or marble-look surfaces, blue and white accents, large social islands, tray and beam ceilings, and expansive views over the water and amenity lawn. Representative highlights include the heated saltwater pool and cabana deck, the fitness and yoga program, and the pet-friendly amenities including dog park, doggy-door-equipped yards, and pet spa, selected as representative elements of a broader lifestyle offering. In-home features such as screened lanais, private yards, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and built-in work or dining surfaces strengthen the project’s appeal as a hybrid rental-home community.
