Vacation rentals with a kayak in Sarasota Beach

We had an amazing time!! It was even better than the pictures if that’s possible. Beautiful views, amazing outdoor space, tons of comfortable places for people to sleep. We had a big group and everyone was comfortable and loved it. The kayaks and paddle boards were a nice bonus too, and we loved walking to Englewood beach! Host was very responsive and helpful if we ever needed her. We would love to come back here.

We really enjoyed our stay at David's place. It was clean and comfortably furnished. The neighborhood was safe to take walks and the people are friendly. The Bluetooth stereo is really neat to use, just put XM on the phone and it linked to the stereo. The pool is not heated but we did go in and it was refreshing after golf on a warm day. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials, except for wine glasses. We've never been puzzle people but we spent hours on one of the 1,000-piece puzzles David provided. There are Kayaks, horseshoes, and cornhole games to keep you busy, but we enjoyed sitting by the pool in the afternoon the most.

Nicole’s home was very comfortable. It was well stocked with everything u could need. The bed was incredibly comfortable! The house was spotless. Nicole was an excellent communicator & took the time to check in on me. Having to enter & park in the back off the alley was not idea but it worked. The game room was really cute & a fun place to play. I highly recommend this property & host.

My family and I would like to thank Chris for allowing us to stay at his beautiful beach house that was full of all the things we needed to feel at home. Chris responded to our messages very promptly and he even checked in on us to make sure we were doing well. Thank you Chris for a great experience on Long Boat Key; my family and I are very grateful 😁

Stayed in Joseph’s rental the week of spring break with my family. It was conveniently located to stores and restaurants. It was also an easy drive to Siesta Key beach which we visited frequently. The house was exactly as pictured. It was clean and came well equipped (not having to bring our own cooler, beach chairs and umbrella were a huge plus for us!) Joseph was a great host and very responsive to my messages. Would recommend this rental to anyone looking in the Sarasota area!

Loved this place!! Short distance to many places! The house was better than pictures! Loved the porch! Would definitely stay here again!

This place was amazing! We had a very short stay but after visiting we would come back in a heartbeat! The backyard patio was awesome, the house is equipped with everything you need, very clean, and perfect if traveling with kids! Our hosts were very communicative and all around our experience and stay was perfect!

Spacious with lots of fun things to do. Brock was a great host and when we realized my son lost something at the house, they searched for it and mailed it to us- amazing! Really great place with good people taking care of it. Definitely would stay again!

This was a great place to stay for the week, very clean and quiet. Good location to get to either side of the island and the beach. Having the golf cart and beach gear was very helpful! Lynda was a great host.

If you are looking for a historic, old-school Florida home, this is it. The only reason it isn’t a perfect score is that the hurricane closed most of the shops that make Pass-a-Grille quaint. We were able to support a few local restaurants, and the local traffic was very light. We wouldn’t have changed our trip, but it would have been good to know. It seems like businesses are working hard to get back on their feet. Overall a good experience. I appreciate Lisa’s great responsiveness.

A charming place on the Braden River. We loved having the option to kayak on the river or drive to the beach each day. We switched off to keep things interesting. The cookout facilities were fantastic. We never used the charcoal grill but we might have! The turtles, gators and birds on the river were endlessly fascinating.

Absolutely fantastic stay! This Airbnb is a gem, located just 8 minutes away from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for beach lovers. The cleanliness of the place is impeccable – it was super duper clean and well-maintained. The hosts have thought of everything you could possibly need during your stay. From a fully stocked kitchen to cozy linens and even beach gear, they've got it all covered. The attention to detail and thoughtful amenities truly made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway!

We absolutely adored our stay at Simply Adrift. It was clean, comfortable, and perfect for what we were looking for. Lisa was quick to answer all our questions which was helpful as we were a bit nervous coming out after the hurricanes. The beach was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. The water taxi was easy to navigate and Brad and Emmett came with lots of personality! We had no issues at all. We did rent a golf cart which did help, and was happy to have, but could do it with or without. I hope to be back again soon!

Location is great, less than 2 minute, very easy walk, to the beach. Quiet street and properties on either side were not disturbing. There is no grass, so if you bring your furbaby, there are walkable areas to let them do their business. The house itself was very clean and not cluttered. Kitchen is well stocked. There is a great washer/dryer combo. There is no screen for the pool, but a quick daily skimming was sufficient. The pool was clean....no algae. There's a beach cart, chairs, floats, beach towels, etc there, so no need to bring your own. The house is older and in the afternoons it gets very warm (78-80) despite keeping blinds closed and setting ac at 74. We were there in the middle of August and we live in the South so are used to the heat so it wasn't that big of a deal for us. There was a box fan that we used.

The Cottage on the Bay was exactly as described. It was very inviting, clean and comfortable. Jack and Carmen were the most hospitable hosts that you could ever meet on your journey. Their communication as hosts was excellent and prompt from the beginning and throughout my stay. They explained that a welcome gift of food and drink is provided for each guest. I explained my food allergies to them. Jack thoughtfully provided substitutions for me instead. The kitchen had a generous array of utensils, pots, pans and essentials. This was an excellent plus for me since cooking was necessary due to my allergies. I considered the location excellent because it is near the airport. This made transportation convenient anywhere from there. The views of the Sarasota Bay sunset were wonderful. I loved walking around the scenic and quiet area. I enjoyed the best vacation stay at the Cottage. Jack & Carmen's hospitality and care took this trip over the top. They are the total package, 💯!

awesome place and people! super responsive and friendly - let us check in early even asking last minute. SUPER clean - like cleaner than most hotels i have been in. very comfortable and awesome place to stay. we had neighbors on the other side of the building and never heard them once, and there was construction right next door that you could not hear inside. amazing appliances that looked and worked like new. super amazing place and would definitely book here again.

Awesome and fun place to stay, especially if you're big into bikes or drag racing! Would recommend!

As I indicated in the earlier part of the review, the location, grounds, and cabins were amazing. We had a large group of canoers stay in what we called the lodge - with 5 bedrooms and 2 bunk rooms. Though there are only 2 showers in the same bathroom for such a large number - we made it work. Megan and Marc left each cabin (we rented the lodge and 2 tiny cabins) with a half dozen or more organic, home raised fresh duck and chicken eggs. Nice touch! Launching from there and paddling was amazing on horse creek providing solitude and peace. They worked with us on a complicated checkout with some staying on while others left. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a country experience.

If you're looking for a quiet place to unwind by a beautiful river, this is your spot. Perfect place to getaway for a few days of meditation and getting the mind right. Judy was so helpful and accommodating! 10/10 I will definitely be back!

Glamping at its best ! Was here for the rodeo with friends and family . We had the boathouse Cabin. Very pristine and clean with a super comfortable mattress. I loved waking up to the sunrise overlooking the river with my morning coffee. Hope to return here again,
