Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Sarasota

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 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!

We would definitely stay here again. This is a lovely little bungalow. The place is very accommodating, clean, safe and inviting. Our host Jackie made sure we had everything we needed and the instructions were very simple and clear for the home. No complaints.

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.

Spotless, Comfortable, and Perfectly Located! The place was absolutely spotless and looked exactly like the photos—no surprises, just as promised. The location was ideal for me, as it was close to the clinic where I had my treatment. The neighborhood was very quiet, making it easy to relax. Nearby conveniences like Publix and Postal98 Coffee (which has amazing hot chocolate!) were a nice bonus. Overall, the property was beautiful, and the host was fantastic with communication—responsive, helpful, and welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again!

This place was absolutely perfect for our vacation in Sarasota. The host Landon, had been extremely responsive and the amenities they provided were top notch (from the pool to the mini golf, the beach gear, the coffee machine and all). Will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a family getaway to Sarasota.

Nice place, convenient location. Great pool for kids

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.

Quiet, cozy and comfortable. If you love plants, you will enjoy her gardens- they are beautiful! She thought of everything I might need and even provided things I didn’t know I needed. I would definitely book there again!

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.

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!

Cute little studio apartment nestled in a quite neighborhood close to all shops and beaches in Sarasota, a great couples getaway location.

We had a fine stay. No problems with the host or room. We would have liked a better area to go for walks. I would have also liked to have gotten check in info sooner. I had to ask for it the night before. In her defense I did not get anything from Airbnb either.

Absolutely love Sea Club. This was our second stay there. Will always come back. Walk to the beach is not bad at all. Condo is next to the road but still quiet. Really enjoyed our stay!

This is our 5th time staying here, and the place and location speak for itself. The one thing that takes this place over the top in our opinion is the amazing and friendly hosts, Honestly they have treated us like family and made sure our stay has been amazing and safe. We were there for hurricane Helene and they made sure we were taken care of the whole time. I can’t thank them enough, including Vince who is always on top of everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Our stay with Eric was amazing! We needed a quick beach weekend and this exceeded our expectations. His unit was as described with luxury towels and bed linens. Beach closet was bonus…the cart, cooler and chairs was much needed and appreciated! I messaged Eric prior to our arrival asking if there was a volleyball in the closet so I could add to our grocery order if not. First thing I saw as we walked in the unit was a new volleyball sitting on the table awaiting our arrival! Way above and beyond! Easy check in and check out. Actually, our flight was ahead of schedule and Eric allowed us early entry to get our trip started a bit sooner! This was our first time visiting the area and definitely plan on returning and will stay here again. Thanks for a great stay!

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

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Martha’s cute and cozy condo. The view was the best part. Love being on the beach and even though the weather wasn’t the greatest, Martha had wonderful books and games for us to use. Another shout out to Martha is that we forgot my husband‘s favorite backpack cooler yet Martha took a picture of it and said she would hold it until our next visit which I thought was very honest and considerate. Thank you again and hope to see you soon! J&R T.

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.
