PRIME VACATIONS Makes Its Television Debut on Emmy Award-Winning Travel Series Staycation
From exceptional vacation homes and Gulf Coast sunsets to locally loved restaurants and adventures on the water, PRIME VACATIONS is bringing the best of Florida’s west coast to television.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
PRIME VACATIONS is proud to make its television debut on the Emmy Award winning travel series Staycation. In Season 5, Episode 12, Florida: PRIME VACATIONS, host Rob Valletta explores Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, and Lido Key while introducing viewers to four distinctive vacation homes and the local experiences that give each destination its character.
For our team, this feature is about more than appearing on television. It is an opportunity to share the places we know and love, recognize the local businesses that help create memorable stays, and celebrate the homeowners who trust us to care for and represent their properties.
What is a Florida Gulf Coast vacation with PRIME VACATIONS like? It begins with a professionally managed vacation home and grows into beach days, boating adventures, island dining, golf cart rides, and time together in some of Florida’s most inviting coastal communities.
More Than a Place to Stay
A great beach vacation is found in the moments between check-in and check-out: coffee before the island gets moving, dolphins alongside the boat, dinner overlooking the water, and a sunset that brings everyone outside.
Those are the moments Staycation captures.
The episode begins on Anna Maria Island at The Coffee Shack before stepping inside 81A, a luxury home designed for gathering. Its private pool, oversized spa, rooftop deck, and outdoor entertaining space show how the right rental can become part of the vacation, not simply where everyone sleeps.
A ride with ZoomAround Golf Carts leads to Pelican’s Nest, where the canal front setting, tropical surroundings, private pool, and backyard dock reveal a quieter side of island life.
The group then heads to Fun Boat Tours at Keyes Marina. Stops at The Waterfront Restaurant and The Doctor’s Office showcase two distinctly local dining experiences before Glow Boats closes the Anna Maria Island portion of the trip with nighttime kayaking.
On Siesta Key, High Tide (SKLRP) shifts the mood toward lively family and group fun. Gulf views, a rooftop deck, a private pool with a waterslide, and easy access to Siesta Key Village capture the energy of a Siesta Key vacation.
The journey ends at Lido Luxe Estate, where generous gathering spaces, a resort style outdoor area, and a chef’s kitchen set the stage for dinner. Innovation Dining prepares a private chef experience while members of the PRIME VACATIONS team gather around the table, a fitting close to a trip centered on local connections and time shared together.

Three Gulf Coast Destinations to Discover
Anna Maria Island is loved for its laid-back pace, sugar white beaches, golf cart friendly streets, independent businesses, waterfront dining, and unforgettable sunsets.
Siesta Key pairs its world-famous white quartz sand with the restaurants, shops, and nightlife of Siesta Key Village. Guests can choose from amenity filled private homes and comfortable condo communities.
Lido Key offers peaceful beaches and upscale coastal living near the boutiques and restaurants of St. Armands Circle, with kayaking and Sarasota attractions close by.
