Newly Remodeled Beachfront Studio - On the sand!
Jeffery’s rental was perfect. He has such an eye for detail and it’s beautifully decorated. Our view of the ocean from the sitting area outside the rental was spectacular! The space contained everything you would possibly need and was extremely comfortable. This is our second stay at Shell Cove 1 and we highly recommend it to others.

Sweet Retreat at Shorewalk!
This was our second time staying at your condo. Once again, we really enjoyed ourselves. We really appreciated the fact that you had two regular beach chairs for us to use. We had a wonderful time once again. Everything was just perfect.

Las Palmas Beach Rentals Unit 1
excellent location, everything super clean, thank you for everything

Longboat Key-OCEAN FRONT- on the beach
Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

Siesta Premier Location - The 'Calm of Siesta'
I visit Sarasota every year and stay each time at a new place. This year I wanted to do something closer to the beach and Siesta Village. Matt’s spot was perfectly located for this due to being so close to the beach and every night we walked to the village for dinner/nightlife which was about 15 minutes walking distance. Overall a great place for 1-4 people if you’re looking for a nice chill vacation.

2/2 Beach House Apt on Siesta Key
A wonderful stay in Siesta Key, great location - could walk to the beach or a short drive with free parking. We felt right at home here. We would recommend this stay and would consider booking here again :)

Dream Boat at The Beach Dreams Resort
Everything was great, perfect location and perfect space for the two of us for our getaway. Air conditioning worked well in bedroom and living room/main area (I think some people previously commented on it being hot & the entry area is warm and not directly air conditioned, but the unit had several fans in the closet). We didn’t find this to be a problem at all for us. Everything was clean and as described in the listing. The only “complaints” if you could even call them that was that the WiFi did not seem to work no matter what we did and the water pressure wasn’t ideal for my husband, yet didn’t bother me too much so maybe that’s subjective. Overall, the owners were very accurate with what was offered and received, and they were very responsive as well, answering any questions we had very quickly, and calling us when we had a small issue with parking at first when we got there. They were friendly and asked how everything was going during our trip and we appreciated that very much.

Siesta Key Condo. Sit by the water !
We loved our stay here. The place was well wiped for the beach and plenty of towels. We enjoyed the beach, the pool, and used the hopper to go eat yummy seafood. Elvis communicated quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

"Enfuego!"
Such a perfect escape for a family or a group of friends! The backyard feels like you’re in a private tropical paradise. There are so many amenities in this home you barely need to leave! On days you want to hit the beach, it’s only about 10-15 minutes to get to Anna Maria Island - very convenient location. This was one of our favorite rentals which is well documented by all the photos we took throughout the home - swimming in the pristine pool with the waterfall and fire features glowing, playing golf, watching movies in the theatre, sun bathing on the real sand beach with tiki hut, beautiful loungers and so much more! We already have ideas about the different groups of friends we want to share this property with! Such a score and the hosts are delightful too!!

Lake Front House with a Pool
This house was spotless, organized and had a loaded kitchen! It is in a amazing location near the beaches and the house came loaded with beach equipment. I would love to come back. Birute was very helpful with us and responsive in timely manner Thansk for all!

Florida Funshine
Kara was very helpful and responsive! The place was beautiful and I loved Sarasota.

Charming and peaceful country home on 5 acres.
Thank you Nancy and Toni! Highly recommend, great place. Very comfortably mattress! 😊 Clean, private, peaceful!

Waterfront Wares Creek Cottage with dock access
Lisa was so helpful! The place was beautiful and larger than it seems from the photos. We wanted to go fishing and I asked her about using a rod left by the kayaks and she brought over 4 fishing poles. It made for a great weekend. Highly recommend.

Downtown Oasis: Poolside Condo, Patio & Gym
Stayed here for the national rowing competition for one week. The place is lovely - very clean, the complex is nice & the pool is great. It was a perfect location for us - halfway between the race course where we needed to be every day and close to downtown. The beach wasn’t far either and I liked the location and the complex very much. We felt safe and it was pretty quiet and peaceful. The owner is responsive and detail oriented with how to check in, get into the unit, etc. I would stay here again.

Aquamarine Oasis - Waterfront, Heated Pool/Hot Tub
Whitney was an awesome host ! She was friendly , responsive , helpful and easy going . We really enjoyed the pool and bbq ! Highly recommend Whitney and her house if you are in the Sarasota Bradenton area for any reason.

Heated Pool (No Cleaning Fee)
what a great Arbnb. Cliff and Sue's place was great and will definitely stay again when we go back to the Sarasota area. Exceeded our expectations. Truly felt like home away from home. If anyone needs a great place to stay while in the Sarasota area this is the place to be. Centrally located to all places. Anna Maria Island was just 20 min away, same with Sarasota downtown and about 30 minutes to St. Armand's Circle. Siesta Key was also about 30-40 minutes away. Very close also to the sky bridge leading to the St Pete/Clearwater beaches area. House was pristine, very clean with all the essentials you need to begin your stay. Loved the 'take a little leave a little' touch where guests can leave (instead of throwing away) some of the essentials needed in the house. Thank you Cliff and Sue for a great stay. There isn't one thing I can negatively say about this Arbnb.

Sea Shell Ocean view On Beach Walk everywhere Pool
Loved the location and the layout of the condominium! We will be coming back!

On the Beach; Siesta Key SunBum Studio
My daughter and I stayed for a mother daughter girls trip and had a blast! They made sure to take care of every little detail to make you feel comfortable and at home. Even checking in and making sure we made it ok. It was very clean and the location was amazing. Easy to get around on the trolly if we didn't want to drive and literally steps away from the beautiful white sand and clear turquoise beach. Do yourself a favor and book the trip!

Freshly Renovated Vacation Villa at Shorewalk
Firstly we would like to thank Linda for being such a kind, thoughtful and caring host. From the moment I requested to book the apartment to the day we departed she answered any questions we had within minutes. Shorewalk villas is a wonderful complex . The staff are very friendly and helpful, and we loved the proximity of supermarkets etc. Most mornings we went to the beach approximately 15 mins away and spent 4 or 5 hours there (using Linda's beach equipment which is all provided) and then back to Shorewalk where we would relax around the pools. The apartment itself was exactly as shown on photos. . Its in a wonderful position right by the clubhouse and amenities. It's very spacious, comfortable and stylish. The kitchen is very well equipped, 3 very big TVs. Thank you Linda for the treats you provided for us and the well stocked bathrooms. Everything we might have needed was there. Thank you Linda we highly recommend your beautiful apartment. Wendy Terry and Mike x

Luxury 3/3 Margaritaville Resort
David’s home exceeded our expectations and was an excellent choice for our stay. It was conveniently located near all the beaches, restaurants, groceries, and shops, but not in the midst of the bustling city center. David even provided us with a variety of beach essentials and even bikes for our convenience. The home was spotlessly clean and well-stocked with blankets, towels, and cookware and dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning in the future.

★Right on the beach ★ Relax and Enjoy ♥ Sunsets!
Five stars in every way. Location location location, everything is very close and convenient including the free shuttle that goes up and down the island. The home itself is extremely clean, the bed is comfortable, and the place is stocked with chairs, umbrellas, towels, anything you need. You do need to take some stairs to get to the unit, but if you’re comfortable with that pick this place. I reached out to Martha several times with questions about the island and she responded very quickly and was helpful every time.

Condo with a View 1: Beachfront!
This condo was everything I needed and more! The location? Absolutely perfect—the beach is literally your backyard. Waking up to that ocean view the next morning was a dream. Restaurants and activities were just minutes away, which made everything so easy and fun. Heidi, the host, went above and beyond. Her communication was fast, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. She even surprised us with a delicious key lime pie and orange juice waiting for us after jet skiing—such a sweet and personal touch! I truly have no complaints. Everything about this stay was peaceful, beautiful, and seamless. I’d absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and magical beach getaway. 🌴🌊💛

Siesta Key Beach Front Condo
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!

Waterfront Condo w/ heated pool- near Fort Desoto
We stayed at Summer's place for 4 nights. It was as described in the posting and she was a fantastic host. She responded quickly and was able to accommodate our requests. The apartment was clean and located in a beautiful area. The pool was located on the waterfront and had beautiful views. We were at the pool every day. The location is somewhat remote (not very walkable) but we knew that going in. There are a few bars/restaurants/stores within a 4 minute drive so still accessible. While the apartment is on the small side it was more than enough space for my wife, son and I. The area is surrounded by water and the apartment has a great balcony with some water views. Unfortunately there are mangroves directly in front of the balcony so the view is somewhat limited. Obviously there is nothing the owner can do about this. Overall we had a great stay at Summer's place and would recommend to others.
