House rentals with a pool

La Hacienda / heated pool, hot tub, 6 mi to beach
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.

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!

Pool Courtyard, patio w/ fire pit, 2 mls downtown
This spot was perfect! We traveled with our two young children and parents. Having the two separate spaces made the whole vacation a breeze. The pool and outside area was beautiful. Any questions we had were quickly answered and we will definitely book this spot again when we come back. Close to everything but very private!

Take a Siesta off Bahia Vista
We booked this house for a second time because it’s absolutely beautiful and impeccably clean. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful stay.

Private Siesta Beach House Oasis with Heated Pool.
We loved staying at Andrew’s Airbnb - we kept saying how everything we wanted to do, no matter which direction was 15 -20 mins max from the house! The backyard is like an oasis, we enjoyed it so much and so did our pups!

White Sands Villa - Heated Pool/Spa - Near Beaches
We had a great stay at this property. Seaglass Management was always responsive and accommodating. The house was clean and the backyard was large and well maintained. The only downside was the bathroom situation. There is no master bathroom and one of the bathrooms for the house is really a 3/4 bath. For 8 adults and a baby the bathroom situation was a little difficult, but we made it work.

Cozy Coastal - 2bd/2bath with Heated Pool and Spa!

Minutes to downtown renovated oasis with nostalgia
The Ringling Retreat was a great spot to stay! Everything was very clean and there were several little touches that made us feel right home. Slippers to wear, new soaps and toothpaste, water in the fridge. It was very inviting and cozy. Not to mention my kids really enjoyed the circus theme! Mary was quick to answer what few questions we had. I would definitely recommend and stay here again! Thanks for a wonderful stay 😊

Paradise on Prospect w/ Htd Saltwater Pool
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.

Duplex just mins to Siesta Beach onsite Putt-putt
I had a great stay here! It's so close to the city, with the bird scooters and other rentable electronic bikes a minute walk from the house so I never had to drive to go anywhere. There's also great restaurants nearby. To top it off this Airbnb actually had great A/C, it was so nice compared to the last few airbnbs I've stayed out. Overall I give it a 10/10 rating!

Pineapple House 15min to Siesta & Lido Key Beaches
Very good accommodation experience, the landlord is very nice, responds to questions in a timely manner, the house is clean and tidy, our whole family likes it very much.

LUXE Nomadic Abode heated pool & amazing yard
5 Stars – Wonderful Stay! I had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like coffee, local guidebooks, and extra towels. The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and within a few miles away there is great restaurants and shops. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in super easy. They even gave us great local recommendations that made our trip even better. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Downtown, Pets, 2-Car Garage, Beach & St. Armands
We had a fantastic stay at Melissa’s beautiful home in Sarasota! I visited with a friend and our two teenage boys, and the house was perfect for us. It was absolutely immaculate and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed — the kitchen had all the cooking essentials, and Melissa even left goody bags in each bathroom, plus laundry detergent, which was a great touch. The closets were huge — perfect for unpacking and settling in — and the master bedroom and bathroom felt truly 5-star. So spacious, comfortable, and luxurious! Melissa was incredibly responsive and helpful any time I reached out — always quick to reply and very kind. The home is in a safe, quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to a lovely park and dog park. I highly recommend staying here. Don’t hesitate to book — you won’t be disappointed!

Me and my family enjoyed our stay! I would definitely recommend !

Luxury 3/3 with Heated Pool, Spa, & Putting Green!
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.

Pool, Spa, & Private Gym in the Heart of Sarasota
We had a great stay at the house. Loved the interior decor. Looks like the home was remodeled recently. Everything was fresh and clean. We loved hanging out by the pool. Backyard was very private and peaceful. Posts were very quick with their responses if I had any questions about the home. We would definitely stay at the Home again when we’re in town.

Magical Secluded Retreat
This was, by far, my best experience at an Airbnb in all the years I’ve used the app! The house is beautiful— spacious yet cozy and filled with so many thoughtful details. You will want for nothing here: books, games, bug spray, citronella candles, towels (including wash cloths!), shampoo and body lotion for all skin and hair types, portable lights and speakers for outdoor use, and a smart TV on a cart which can be rolled anywhere in the house! I didn’t watch TV much, as I spent most of my free time in the luscious front yard enjoying bird watching and staring at the trees. The house is located a short distance to a lot of things, including a sweet little park/lake nearby. Nancy is a kind and generous host, respectful of privacy but also happy to chat, connect and make sure you have everything you need. I’m sad to leave this place, if there hadn’t been another reservation afterwards, I most certainly would have extended my stay! This is a wonderful, safe, and deeply restorative home.

Coastal Retreat near Siesta Key Beach and Downtown
Aubrey’s place is amazing! It’s in a great location close to the best attractions Sarasota has to offer, but you’ll find yourself just wanting to stay inside and enjoy this masterfully decorated space. I cannot exaggerate the fact that it feels like you are stepping into a page in an interior design magazine. Aubrey herself was delightful to communicate with. She left us a very sweet welcome note and little gift. Wish she had a bnb in every town we visit!

3BR Beachwood Bungalow Near Beaches & Downtown
This space was perfect for my friends and I. It’s very peaceful with an outdoor space to hang out in the beautiful Florida weather. The amenities included were amazing, we especially found an interest in the sand umbrella for the beach as well as some chairs! Also, having a washer and dryer is a BIG +++++

Downtown Home W/ Fire Pit- 5 Min to Beach
Stayed here on a small family trip for a few days. We had a wonderful time. Place was super clean and tidy. Great location, everything we were interested in seeing was close by. We were provided with clear and timely instructions for arrival and for check out. We appreciated the attention to detail. Would stay here again, and recommend to friends & family.

NEW Sun-filled Haven, Pool&Spa, 10min to the beach
I will definitely go back and stay here again when in Sarasota. The new beautiful modern pool and hot tub area is amazing was so tranquil and well thought out with high end lounging/seating for 10+. I spent most of my free hours around the pool area when at the house. WIFI was great when needing to work. The location was an easy drive to the local restaurants and quaint downtown area 5-10 min., to the closer beaches 15 -30 min., was bicycle/walkable for me (I am 65 y/o). I was in town for a conference and also saw alot of people on nearby small/clean little open air trolley-like buses getting around downtown (might want to check those out). I felt safe and walked/explored to the downtown hotel area (~ 40 min.). So close to the convenient Sarasota/Bradenton airport (~20 )! The hosts were so responsive and genuinely caring, they anticipated my needs before I asked by offering suggestions and options, so worth the stay! Thank you to the hosts!

Bright Modern 3BD House close to Dwnt & Beaches
The airbnb is located in a safe area. Luda was very kind and generous. The airbnb was very clean and organized. I would reccomend to other people who are interested in traveling to Sorotosa.
