Kid-friendly vacation rentals in South Sarasota

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.

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!

Beautiful home, matched the description/ pictures very well. Very welcome and comforting feeling when walking inside the home

It was a great vacation! Nice, spacious house. The kids were very happy with the pool, and we were happy with the jacuzzi. 😁 Clean, well-kept house. There is everything you need and even more than expected! Oksana is a very friendly and helpful hostess! If we plan a trip to this city, we will be happy to come back! I recommend!

It was good. Pool was not warm, but they tried to fix it. Location is good. 20 min to the beach. Hot water in the house has bad smell. No any other issues. Host is very friendly.

I booked this house for 8 guests. We were able to cook multiple meals, grill out, enjoy the fire pit, play card games, and cool off in the pool. Each guest had a decent amount of privacy which was important to us because our group consisted of all young adults. This place accommodated us well and it was a great price. It is a historic home but it is nicely restored. Daniel was great with all communication from the start of the booking process until the check out!

Daniel was awesome to talk with about the house. He was responsive immediately with answers to any questions. This house was so comfortable & welcoming. It fit us perfectly! The layout of the house is very accommodating with the master bedroom & bath on one side of the house & two bedrooms & shared bath on the other. The house is located in a quiet community & the area it's located in is close to restaurants, grocery shopping & golf courses. The screened-in lanai was very nice. The outside patio was beautiful & spacious with nice patio furniture & a grill. The heated pool was awesome! There were floats provided to use too. The check-in instructions were easy & the household check-out instructions were simple & easy to follow. We would definitely rent this house again! Thank you, Daniel, for letting us rent your beautiful home for a week. JP

Very clean and spacious accommodations. We had 3 couples and an adult child in our party. The owner allowed early checkin in for us and was very attentive when we needed air conditioning adjustment. The only negative was that the air conditioning window unit in the mother in law suite is very loud. You’ll want to have a white noise maker. The units were well equipped and theres a nice family sized table for eating meals together.

We had a great stay at the Funky Flamingo. There were three in our group and it is a good size for three people. The bed and sofa bed are both extremely comfortable and despite the proximity to the airport we did not hear any noise from the planes. Moreover, the appartment is on a quiet cul de sac. Denise and Dean were very friendly and provided lots of useful information for finding the place. I especially appreciated the "Birds of Florida" book. All in all this is a very convenient place to stay and is comfortable and perfect for three people.

At the age of 43 I finally faced my greatest fear and flew to Siesta Key. Anna & Thomas made our experience even more amazing with beautiful accommodations, local recommendations, and clear communication. Thank you for the memories we will have for a lifetime!

Lisa’s place was absolutely beautiful!! So clean and spacious. Super easy check in. Amenities provided were beyond expectations. Pool was great. Location was good just a short drive to downtown. Road noise is definitely there - but we were able to crank the fan to have white noise throughout the night and had no issues sleeping. Definitely recommend this place, felt like a home away from home 🌴🏠

The apartment was wonderful. It is extremely clean, very spacious and new, easy to check in and check out. The location is fantastic. Great and fast communication and responsiveness by the hosts. This has been my best Airbnb experience and we will definitely be back.

Very comfortable accommodations. Overall, great stay. Not as stocked as we would have liked (i.e. no laundry detergent or bath soap), but not deal breakers. Will definitely book again!

Good location and host was accommodating.

Dan and Charles place was perfect in every way! We cannot say enough about their place and them! Location couldn’t have been any better. We’ve been coming to Sarasota for 3 years now and this place was at the top of our list.Don't hesitate, book it now!

This is a great place to stay! Restaurants and shopping centers are in walkable distance and Denise is an amazing host. Keeping this place in mind for future vacations.

This is the third time I've rented in this complex. The location is unbeatable - private beach, beautiful Gulf view from the beach, beach accessories were in good condition and a bonus kayak to use during the serene mornings. Definitely cannot beat the sunsets! The condo is by far the cleanest I've ever rented via Airbnb - thank you for that! The kitchen has everything - we cooked every meal. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Already booked for 2026!

Incredible spot with great value with the beach access. Siesta key public can get crowded so it’s nice to have this as an accommodation. Loves our stay Maureen was a great host with clear expectations!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was our first time staying on the south end of the island, and we found the location to be ideal. The property is conveniently situated just steps from the beach (with a private beach access) and close to many popular restaurants. The quaint ambiance of the property was a welcome addition to our experience. We also appreciated the private deck, which provided a comfortable and secluded space for our stay.

We loved our Spring Break stay at Helen and Hannah’s condo. The condo and the complex are beautiful and everyone was very friendly. A lot of retirees were around for the week, but a few families too. Our 15-year old enjoyed it too and we made daily use of the tennis court, pool and grill. The location is very convenient and is a bit away from the main Spring Break area and beach, but we like the peace. Thank you very much and we’ll consider returning again.

We loved the condo! My favorite part was the screened in porch with very comfortable seating, view of the ocean, and a table for card games with grandkids. I would like to definitely rent again when we visit that beautiful area in the future.

Perfect stay for my family! It had everything we needed and more. The beach chairs, mats & cooler made our beach days more enjoyable. Washer and dryer worked great and kitchen had everything we needed. We didn’t have time to use the paddleboard but it’s an awesome bonus. We would definitely stay again!

Great location. Easy walk to the beach. Enjoyed the swimming pool. Listing was accurate and was a nice layout with plenty of everything that was needed for a great stay.

We are already looking to see when we can come back to Florida and stay in Daniel's rental again! It has everything you need, it is well-kept, and it is close to everything you want/need (the beach, Detwiler's, Publix, stores, restaurants). It is in a safe location. The Shorewalk ammenities (pools and hot tubs) are nice as well. Even though one pool's heater was broken, there was another pool to choose from and two hot tubs. He checked-in with us to make sure check-in went well and to make sure that our stay was going well. Daniel provided thorough instructions and recommendations for everything you could possibly need. He was a great host with a great home away from home!
