More About Sarasota
About Sarasota, FL
Sarasota () is a city in Sarasota County on the southwestern coast of the U.S. state of Florida. The area is renowned for its cultural and environmental amenities, beaches, resorts, and the Sarasota School of Architecture. The city is located south of Tampa Bay area, north of Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. Its official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. In 1986, it became designated as a certified local government. Sarasota is a principal city of the Sarasota metropolitan area, and is the seat of Sarasota County. According to the 2020 U.S. census, Sarasota had a population of 54,842.The Sarasota city limits contain several keys, including Lido Key, St. Armands Key, Otter Key, Casey Key, Coon Key, Bird Key, and portions of Siesta Key. Longboat Key is the largest key separating the bay from the gulf, but it was evenly divided by the new county line of 1921. The portion of the key that parallels the Sarasota city boundary that extends to that new county line along the bayfront of the mainland was removed from the city boundaries at the request of John Ringling in the mid-1920s, who sought to avoid city taxation of his planned developments at the southern tip of the key.

Reviews for Sharkys of Sarasota Sarasota, FL
Olivia Griggs
I recently rented 2 bounce houses for a neighborhood event. We got excellent service. The bounce houses arrived on time and there were zero issues. The communication was phenomenal they answered all my questions rapidly and I loved that I was able to text. The quality was great. The slide we rented was bigger than I thought in a good way. I highly recommend this company and I love how its locally owned.

We rented the deep dive unit from Fun In The Sun and we couldn’t be happier with the service/product we received! The gentlemen that came out were super nice and had the unit setup super fast! It was clean and it did not give us any issues. We rented it for 24 hours, but ended up keeping it a few hours longer which my kids were thrilled about. They were on time, professional, and very friendly. Next time you need to rent a bounce house, check out Fun In The Sun! I know I will go through them next time!

Highly recommend! We used them for my son’s 6th birthday and couldn’t say nicer things about the quality of their services. Max and his wife were super awesome & accommodating, and they made sure the kids had a party to remember! What an amazing foam experience! Even the adults had fun! Thank you for making our party awesome!
Jim Schlegelmilch
Would give them 10 stars if I could. Fantastic experience beginning to end. Super nice people; great, clean bounce house – they were punctual, set it up, showed us how it worked, took it down and left the yard just how it was before they got there. Would HIGHLY recommend and definitely plan on working with them again. Thank you!!!

I searched many many bounce house companies for my sons 6th birthday party. I found though that their websites were just difficult to navigate or they didn’t have a very big selection of houses. I came upon Sharkys and the site was super convenient and I was shocked at the variety of products they offer. Not only bounce houses but carnival games, obstacle courses, foam partys.. the list goes on! I saved a bounce house in my cart and then recieved a text from Britney letting me know she is here if I have any questions. I was able to get all the information I needed from her and was sold! She was so nice and they also had a $20 discount which was awesome. My son picked the Frankenstein bounce house. Someone stayed in contact with me the day before the birthday party and asked if they could deliver a day early. I said of course! My kids absolutely loved it and what a surprise for my son for it to come a day early. They were so quick and efficient with setting it all up and explaining how it works. It was a huge hit at his party. The kids didn’t want to go home! My son cried that evening when he realized they would be picking it up that night. We got on it with him and enjoyed the time left that we had. To our surprise though they actually picked it up the following afternoon. So needless to say we had two very happy kids when they woke up the next day and it was still in the backyard. What a great bonus to have the house all that extra time. When they came for pick up, they went inside and cleaned it out and again very quick and efficient. My husband and I even got in it with the kids because that thing is HUGE! We are already planning on picking one for our daughters birthday in January and my husband wants to try the obstacle course 😍 Lets face it, you are never too old for bouncy houses 😂 I have heard horror stories from friends who ordered from other companies and this being our first bouncy house rental, we didnt know what to expect. Now I am telling everyone I know about this company. I would give them 10 stars if I could! Thank you Sharkys for being amazing and will be ordering from you again very soon!
