Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown, Sarasota

We are a couple traveling to see new interesting places. Spend most of the day exploring the area, just need a quiet place to rest, sleep and cook dinner. This place was good for our purposes: quiet, private and close to many attractions of Sarasota.

We loved the house and the hosts. One of my best Airbnb experiences. It was exactly as expected. Love it!

My sister and I had a lovely stay at El Tropicale. We were attending a yoga retreat in Lakewood Ranch so the location was perfect. Very spacious and the pool is great! All communication was prompt and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location. Just steps to the water. There were four beach chairs and an umbrella for guests’ use, which was very helpful. Bean Point beach is within walking distance. Other beaches, along with all of the restaurants and stores and Pine Avenue, are a short drive away. Best part of the house is the view of the bay from the third floor balcony.

Kathleen thought about everything! She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possibly need during our stay. The property is recently renovated so a lot of things were new. The location was great and the house is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. One thing to note is that one room has thick curtains instead of a door. It wasn’t a problem for us, but just mentioning it so people are aware. Would definitely consider booking Red Door Siesta again!

Romualda’s home was very clean, beautiful, and modern. She was very communicated from the time we booked the AirBnb, to the time we checked in, and the time we checked out. We felt right at home as she had many ameneties that were offered and more. We will definately book again next time we are in town.

Larisa's place was exactly how it was advertised. It was a great location with 10-15mins drive to downtown and the beaches. It was close to restaurants, groceries etc. Our little ones enjoyed the pool. Bring some toiletries when you come, other than that everything was available.

we came to Relax at the Beach and Christopher's place had everything we needed to do that. From coffee to Beach towels, He thought of everything.! We enjoyed our trip.

What a beautiful home and neighborhood. It was perfect for our needs. The pool was a huge plus and we swam every day.

What a wonderful place! I would like to thank the host for providing an exceptional and comforting stay for me and my family. I definitely recommend this place and would return in the future. Thanks for everything!

Spent a few nights with my husband and kids and was not disappointed. The house was just what we needed for a weekend of fun! The pool was the main highlight but the house provided lots of beach amenities that made our stay even better. Birute's place was not far from town and was located in a quiet neighborhood. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a peaceful place to spend time with the people you love and enjoy what Siesta Key has to offer!

Marie was extremely accommodating. She answered all my concerns very quick. She is such a wonderful hosts. I recommend this place 100%. . It is very spacious house . it is makes you feel at home.

Extremely Peaceful neighborhood. Backyard was the best- pool, lanai, landscaping was most pleasant. Leslie had everything that you need and then some- a lovely welcome basket is the icing. Plenty of necessaries like paper towels, toilet tissue, shampoo, conditioner, body wash- truly felt like a welcome guest. Also so close to downtown- a lot of plusses.

Beautiful home, very clean, and very nicely decorated with all the modern amenities. The neighbourhood was great too, close to shopping and restaurants. The host was really welcoming and responsive. Overall super happy with our stay! Thank you!

Lovely home with a large fenced backyard and a warm pool. Conveniently located near Robinson Preserve and Anna Maria Island. Michelle was quick to answer any questions. We enjoyed our stay.

Really great accommodation! Stayed with a group of friends. Loved the pool and outdoor space! Kitchen had all the amenities needed. Host was very responsive when we had a minor issue with the pool. Game room and laundry was a bonus! Beach is close but lots of traffic getting on/off Anna Maria Island. Beautiful beaches, recommend Coquina!

Our 2nd stay and had a wonderful time! Thanks so much!

Mario's place was a great set up for our family. It's a little smaller than what we thought it was going to be but the island is so beautiful that we didn't really spend a lot of time inside anyways. We had a blast on our trip for a week. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the neighbor directly behind their place didn't like any noise at all. In the instructions it states that the "quiet" time is from 10:00 PM - 7:00 AM. There were two nights that we were being "loud" at 7:30ish PM outside in the pool having fun with our kids and she used choice words after banging on the fence to get us to quiet down. A few nights later around the same time she threatened to call the cops. We were enjoying our vacation, we weren't being rude at all, I think she is what I would consider the "Sherrif of No Fun" but other than those two nights we would highly recommend Mario and his place. It was a great location and we were able to enjoy your stay.

The Cottages were great hosts. The place had all the accommodations needed to make us feel right at home. Everything was clean and well kept. We particularly appreciated how stocked the house was, plenty of beach/pool towels, beach equipment (chairs, wagon), and all the other amenities we expected. The elevator is a great touch. I never thought we would need/want one, but with kids, beach gear, groceries, etc. it made a huge difference. We didn’t need much during our stay, but when we reached out, the host was very responsive. Overall, a great location, great house, and excellent host. Highly recommended.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Escape to Paradise from December through March! The support they provided for me while I enjoyed my winter in their beautiful home was wonderful. The area is quiet and is very close to shopping and most importantly the ocean! During my stay, my children came to visit me and they enjoyed the comfort of this beautiful four bedroom home with a spacious living room and dining room that will seat10 people. If you are coming with little ones, they even have a Porta crib and a high chair. My family really enjoyed being able to take the wagon and folding beach chairs to the ocean. The amenities that they supply are amazing! Little things like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, coffee, creamer and sugar! They responded to any questions I had with in minutes! They made my stay very comfortable. I highly recommend staying in this lovely home!

The Cottage on Pine is adorable! Such a quiet retreat nestled among great local shops and restaurants. The cottage was peaceful, comfortable, and conveniently located - walkable to everything we wanted to do. While we could walk to everything, we still enjoyed renting bikes and a golf cart to haul our beach equipment and tour the entire island. Thanks Once Upon a Beach for a great stay on AMI!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Canopy Cottage. This was our second year staying and loved it even more. Jami is an excellent host. We loved being close to the Legacy Trail to ride bikes and the sort drive to Siesta Key Beach! Would definitely stay again.

Perfect location to walk to beach and Siesta Village with shops and restaurants. Place was very clean and backyard was perfection. Scott was super responsive also.

We knew as soon as we got there that Melinda's place was the right choice. Everything was as described, pictures were accurate, and we immediately felt like we were on vacation. The location is incredible! Easy access to the beach, downtown Venice, Publix, and so much more. Honestly once we started exploring we wish we had booked a few more days! Thank you Melinda for hosting us! We will definitely be back!
