Kid-friendly holiday rentals in South Sarasota

Hesitant to share how great it was because we will be back! The house is in a great location, feels like home, and had anything we could possibly need. Short drive to Siesta Key and several great beaches. Kitchen was perfect for cooking at the house. Pool was perfect for evening swims and the backyard had plenty of room for a game of catch.

This house was adorable! Loved the decor - cute touches and uncluttered throughout. Drawers/cabinets were clearly labeled and there were all sorts of things there that you might have forgotten- even hair ties! Bed was comfortable. Whole place was cozy and comfy- I didn’t want to leave! Tons of great recommendations in the guest book by the front door. I wholeheartedly recommend this home!

I would definitely consider returning to this comfortable little bungalow. All was as described and fully functional. Only annoyance were some vocal roosters next door, but not so much that they disturbed sleep or detracted from the relaxing atmosphere inside.

The house was exactly as described and was private and clean ! We loved the pool and how quiet and peaceful the neighborhood is . Very much enjoyed our stay as first time guests .

Loved the place and no complaints whatsoever, I’ll be there again

We had an amazing stay at this adorable cottage. We had everything we needed in the house and more. It was very clean and in a perfect location. The beds were very comfortable. My favorite part was the screened in back porch, so peaceful! Betsy was a great host. We would highly recommend you to stay here! We will definitely be back in the future.

We enjoyed staying here and will be back.

Fabulous stay at Katya’s…perfect place to practice rest-n-relaxation techniques…out the door to the left for walk on the wild side…out the door to the right and life’s a beach…will definitely keep on top of list for places to stay & play ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This location is halfway between coastal attractions (beach and downtown) and inland attractions (golf, Lakewood Ranch, I-75). It's also near 2-3 east-west roads in Sarasota. Excellent. Listing is realistic, not exaggerated. It's a well-equipped kitchen with a two-burner induction stove and a large enough fridge and freezer for nearly any purpose. Good counter space and many helpful supplies and "tools" Bedroom area is large, bathroom is huge, shower is enormous, access is ez. I've stayed in tiny units and i've had faux kitchens. This is neither and with a strong host nearby. I'm tiring of long-distance hosts and corporate hosts. As a host Mariele offers proximity, professionalism, and personality too. Within reason she's on the side of the guest. Recommended listing.

Ed and Bunny’s place was very clean and private. The neighborhood is quiet and only 10 minutes from Siesta Key which was our main location to visit on the trip. They provided beach chairs and towels for beach goers and left a note for recommendations.

Great location in Sarasota! The apartment was comfortable and very clean, and just a few minutes' drive to beautiful beaches and restaurants. Vanessa and Nicole were very responsive and gave us helpful instructions. We would definitely stay here again!

We (two people from Germany) stayed here for a week, not for the first time – great location: close to Siesta Key, Lido Beach, and downtown; beautiful accommodation – very lovingly and beautifully furnished, we felt like we were at a friend's house; we had everything we needed, even all the beach equipment; Dan and Charles are great hosts. We would like to come back.

My husband, 2 ur old twins, and I stayed at this cute little studio and it was perfect!! The place was super clean and inviting and really close to a lot of stores and restaurants. The beach isn’t a far drive at all either! We absolutely loved this stay and will definitely be back!! The hosts were so sweet and made sure to give clear instructions and check on us through out our stay!! If you’re looking for a cozy getaway that’s close to the beach and has an abundant variety of restaurants this is it!! Thank you Vanessa & Nicole!!

Our stay at Inna & Vladimir's home was excellent. I had a work conference at a larger hotel about 4 min away. It was conveniently located, easy driving distance to restaurants and the beach, and in a safe part of town. We enjoyed the pool one evening and never felt bothered or out of place during our stay. The one thing to note is that, if you have any sort of chemical/fragrance sensitivity, be cautious the first day or two. My husband and I are both VERY sensitive and noticed the strong fragrant cleaner smells right away (tide, fabuloso type scents, etc). This likely wouldn't bother the typical person... but it was pretty intense for us. Considering those smells means that the Airbnb was cleaned, I can't complain about that! Lastly, if you have any mobility issues, the stairs are steep, but felt very sturdy. Overall, we would stay again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Roy’s place was comfortable, had good amenities, good location ( multiple beaches and restaurants in a close radius). The house was beautiful and just as described. The pool/hot tub, and outdoor seating was private and well maintained. Chairs, umbrella, and cooler were available to use which was a nice plus. We would definitely love to stay at this place again. Roy was quick to respond to any questions we had.

Excellent stay. Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to a family emergency, but the day we were there, was wonderful.

thank you so much for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your beautiful condo. You have thought of every amenity any one could want!

Excellent place, unbeatable location, very cozy and comfortable. Chris let us know we could check in early without even asking. I would gladly come back!

Highly recommended. Everything was clean, very quiet, and safe. Clara was very friendly, and we loved our stay.

This was the perfect place for two people. Had everything we needed for a weekend away. The hosts were so nice and it was an easy place to come and go from. Will be back again!

Diana’s place is a very comfortable. Very clean, cozy, with a fully equipped kitchen, stove, dishwasher, large refrigerator, washer and dryer. There is a private barbecue area and a reserved parking space. 10 minutes by car to Siesta Beach and 13 minutes to Turtle Beach. We found a beach umbrella and chairs in the apartment’s closet. Also there is a safe in the bedroom which made us feel protected. We are definitely very happy that we stayed at Diana’s place and can recommend it to anyone who wants to come to Sarasota for the holidays.

Great stay, the location, the amenities all were wonderful. Melissa and Brandon were super responsive and the place had more essential stocked than most of the other places we have stayed, which was very thoughtful. Melissa also had a regular coffee pot sent out to us right away, since we don’t use Keurig’s which was super nice and very much appreciated. We would definitely come back!

Another wonderful trip to Siesta! This is our third stay in one of Evan’s places, and we were not disappointed. This unit had a great view of the Gulf (this particular building has the most direct view, without the parking lot!), and the screened in lanai was amazing! As always, the unit was clean, well-stocked, and a perfect home away from home. Already counting down the days till we return!

Julie was a fantastic host. Responded to all questions in a very timely manner. She went above and beyond to make sure my girls group had a good time! Trolley service is at the curb to take you to the village or elsewhere. Restaurants are right across the street for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so no cooking was needed for us! Thank you for a great experience.
