Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Sarasota

Will's place was amazing! Super clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect - there was so much to do nearby, from the beach, great restaurants and shops. Will was also a fantastic host: responsive and helpful. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a spot that's both relaxing and close to all the action!

My wife and I had a great time at this stay. Lots to do at the house along with great beaches and restaurants within a 15-20 minute drive. The house was clean and had everything that you might need. We were able to drive to Disney in just over an hour and a half which provided a different experience to go along with the daily beach/pool trips. Cool AC inside to combat the humid 88 degree weather in June 2025.

This is the nicest vacation rental. The details are spot on. It is well appointed with quality products. PMI Is very responsive. Love the location and proximity to Ed Smith, Downtown Sarasota and more. We look forward to returning.

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!

Fantastic Airbnb! Seaglass Management and Joy are great to work with. Very responsive! Great location, very safe, amazing pool and jacuzzi, close to downtown, restaurants and the Legacy bike trail. Will definitely book again in the near future.

We had a great time there. Lisa was available all the time. House and grounds were great. Instructions were clear and easy. Hope is available next time.

We loved our stay at Mango! The place was clean, quaint, and they were stocked on literally everything you could need, which was super helpful. They had beach towels, beach chairs, a giant beach umbrella, toys for kids (if you have them), a beach bag, coffee, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, there was water in the fridge, and they allowed us late check out, which was so incredibly kind considering our flight wasn’t until 7:30pm. It was also a short drive to Siesta Key, Lido Key, St Armand’s, and, a slightly longer drive, Anna Maria Island. All around would recommend.

We cannot say enough great things about this house! The pool and hot tub were our favorite place to be! We watched movies every night from the pool! Plenty of space for all 9 of us. The backyard is so gorgeous you do not even want to leave. So many beautiful tropical plants! We were able to grab some delicious mangos! Everyone raved about the beds, they are so comfortable. Plenty of pool towels available which is a help with 4 teenagers! Shuffleboard was a family favorite and there were plenty of T.V. options for the rainy days. Even the neighborhood peacocks were a big hit. There is a beautiful white one that visited every day! We would recommend this home to anyone, and we cannot wait to come back next year! You won't regret booking this place for your family vacation!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Cristina’s place. Super clean and cozy. Host was responsive and friendly.

We had a great stay at Lisa’s. It was well stocked and had everything we needed for a great stay. Would definitely recommend!

Nick and Jess were wonderful hosts. Responsive to questions. Provided beach amenities. Clean and modern home. Great location as well. 10/10.

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.

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.

Beautiful little beach house! Clean and with all that you need for a nice vacation. Vanessa and Nicole were great hosts, answering fast when we needed them. Having beach chairs and umbrella available was a big plus! 100% recommended.

Peter and Pearl are awesome hosts! The Peaceful Retreat feels welcoming and cheerful, with very comfortable furnishings. These hosts have thought of everything! The location is great too, whether you walk or drive. We were in Sarasota to attend graduation at RCAD and the location was perfect!

Beautiful apartment, comfortable, perfect for sharing with my family. Its balcony overlooking the building’s pool was a huge plus... excellent location, just an 8min walk from restaurants and shops... 100% recommended

Had a great stay and everything was as listed. Clean and convient, quiet location, 5 minute walk to the beach. Was located right across from both pool and laundry room (quarters only) which was great. William also provided beach chairs and umbrella as well as small cooler which was exactly what I needed

Highly recommend this condo. Quiet and clean.. very good communication

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Welcomed by a beautiful view, and a nice well kept exterior. The unit we stayed in was in the 3rd floor, which allowed for the best views and the most privacy. The unit was clean, well-kept, and updated, even though the point of the vacation was to enjoy the beach/island, it was a place you felt you might accidentally stay Inside too long. We are planning our trip for next year already back to this very spot.

If you are looking for a place in Sarasota with everything you need closed to you like restaurants, dinner, food shopping etc at just minutes from siesta key then this is the place. Very clean and definitely what you see in pictures is what you getting. I stay here with m wife and two kids, we are very happy with pick this place, will definitely book again.

Our stay was exactly what we wanted. Our host, Evan, was great and quick with any questions we had. The condo was located very close to Siesta Key Beach, and we didn't have to drive more than 20 minutes to get to anything that we wanted to around that area, some things even within walking distance. Everything we could have possibly wanted was provided in our home, which really made the week stress-free. We would definitely stay here again!

Heidi and her place is the the most organized and best operated Airbnb we stayed at. Starting with communication from the moment we booked to very last detail. The place has everything you will ever need, very clean. Beach is right out of the door, pool is great and plenty of floaties, boogie boards and toys for kids. Heidi ordered new pack n’play for our infant, left drinks in the fridge and first morning surprised us with muffins and juice left at our door. Plenty of recommendations and very friendly communication through out the stay and beyond.

Location, Location, Location!!! Siesta Key for the win again. Unfortunately tropical storm Debby had other plans for us, but David was very helpful in fielding any of our questions pertaining with the storm. Definitely would recommend David & his beach rental.

This was a great place and had everything you needed! My family really enjoyed it and the host was amazing to work with and responded back really fast! I would go back here!! Also the beach, omg it’s beautiful!! White sandy beaches, beautiful blue water, we even found whole sand dollars!! Worth checking out and staying!!!
