Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sarasota

Kayla’s listing exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I booked, communication was seamless and welcoming. The space itself is beautifully decorated, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The highlight was definitely the pool — it’s great! Perfectly maintained and a fantastic spot to relax and unwind. The heated jacuzzi is also awesome — it’s perfectly functional, warm, and incredibly relaxing, making it a true standout feature of the property. The location is superb — just a few minutes’ drive to the most amazing beach in the USA! It’s the perfect base for exploring and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Kayla was a wonderful host—friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a great experience. She provided helpful local tips and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend Kayla’s listing to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and memorable stay with fantastic amenities. I can't wait to return!

Clean and neat, friendly and when we wanted to extend was quick and easy to enjoy our stay longer. Thank you again

We enjoyed our stay at Kathleen’s home. This was our first time coming to AMI since the hurricane. Kathleen was sure to send updated photos of the interior following repairs. There were still some repairs needed on the exterior (various exposed construction and holes in soffits). However this did not significantly impact our stay. The home was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We appreciated the natural shower gels, shampoo and abundance of sunscreen. There were numerous beach toys as described and the beach wagon came in handy. The space felt a little tight with two families (with somewhat older children) but would be perfect for young kids given the quantity of toys and activities. We had an issue with the interior locks at one point but this was handled well by the host. Overall we had a nice experience. Thank you!

Beautiful spot, not far from numerous restaurants and things to do. Not far from the Charlotte Event Center. Good amenities, stocked cupboards (coffee filters, seasonings, etc). Definitely would stay here again if we visit.

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!

My family really enjoyed staying here. The kids loved the heated pool and all of the pool and beach toys included. The house was very clean and in a great location. Dawn is very responsive when messaging her, often responding no more than a minute or two. We really enjoyed our short stay and will definitely consider staying next spring break if it is available!

Quick and easy to get to! We used the pool a lot, would highly recommend staying here. Quiet area and within a 1/2 hour of the beach! We’ll be back next year!

We enjoyed our stay at the Pink Flamingo house. The house was well supplied, and clean. I would definitely recommend this house for any one that has a bigger family to accommodate for. The children enjoyed the heated swimming pool. Yvonne was very easy to work with and always responded when we had questions.

Whenever needed to get in contact, they were very responsive and would follow up. Had a slight issue that they quickly resolved. Communicated things in advance so we knew what to expect. Recommend their place for people who want easy walking access to the beach and downtown areas.

Great place and excellent host. Loved the pool and watching the egrets by the lake. Thank you Tomas!

I visited Sarasota with my family from the state of Rhode Island from April 4 to April 7 and we stayed at Jason’s & Laura house and it was an amazing experience. The house was very clean and organized. The house is located on a great neighborhood, super safe and great amenities. The house was stocked with beach supplies like beach chairs, beach towels, a boogie board and a beach cooler that was so nice. The house was exactly what we were expecting, I would recommended to everyone. Thank you Josh and laura.

A beautiful location, very quiet neighborhood, yet within 1.5 miles of a large supermarket and drugstores. Pictures are very accurate of the home. We loved the outdoor pool area/lanai. There was an issue with the pool filter causing the pool to become too cold for swimming during the last few days, which was unfortunate for us, but that was not the hosts' fault, and they were very responsive, within minutes. The home as a very comfortable layout with several large sitting areas inside, as well as a very large lanai area. Kitchen is well equipped with everything we could need. We did not use the grill, but there was one available. We had an issue with the smoke detectors and, again, a simple text to our hosts brought immediate response and remedy. Alexina and her husband are lovely and very responsive. I would recommend this beautiful spot and we would return on our next trip to Cape Coral.

Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay. The house provided plenty of room for our family of six adults and two kids. There are several nice features in the home including multiple deck spaces to relax in and a large pool and hot tub. The house was very well equipped and organized. Also, the location was away from traffic noise and advantageously situated on the north end of the Key avoiding the heavy traffic that occurs on the south end. Better advanced communication and more prompt responses to a few issues we discovered upon arrival would have made the experience more enjoyable. In the course of our month long stay we were able to address most of the issues and the host accommodated our concerns. We are planning on staying again next year.

Great stay! Everything was neat, clean and ready for our stay! Would stay again!

Very nice place. Very clean, and sticked with everything you need. With an amazing rooftop view of the ocean. Pool was heated. Loved this area and the beach was only literally across the street. We are from this area. And we enjoyed our stay very much Rex was a wonderful host.

My two boys and I truly enjoyed the condo. It was clean, tidy, roomy, well-equipped, and conveniently located. The community was quiet and peaceful. My boys loved the pool and I loved the hot tub. We were extremely pleased. While we were given a unit that differed from our original request, we understood the reason given and we were in no way disappointed with the new arrangement. The unit was perfect for us and we would definitely return. Bea and her assistant were quick to respond to my questions prior to arrival. We had no issues during our stay, so we never needed to communicate while we were there. Check-in and check-out were both extremely easy.

My flight out of Fort Myers was delayed by a day due to weather, and I ended up staying the night here. Caitie & Erik’s place was wonderful—comfortable, clean, and exactly what I needed after a long day of travel disruptions. They were great hosts and made the unexpected stay feel easy and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Melanie's place was very clean and conveniently located to each place we wanted to go! We enjoyed the views of the canal and even saw a few local critters (turtles birds and an iguana). The hot tub was nice to relax in each evening. Thank you!

We hated to leave! It was perfect for our stay. Very clean and steps away from the beach, close to everything store wise/ restaurants.

Enjoyed our stay. Very quiet location and convenient to everything

We loved the pool and hot tub. Ben was very responsive when I asked about if there was a speaker we could use and he dropped one off at the front door within minutes. Great location and price was reasonable. We would Definately stay again!

Very good location and beautiful views of the bay. The accomodations were perfect for two people. Gorgeous pool right off the bay. Friendly condo guests as well whenever we ventured out. Overall it was as advertised. The noise from the road outside was tolerable since you could close the slider to mitigate it.

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!

Literally the perfect house in Treasure Island. Beautiful beach, the house had everything we needed and John’s pass was walkable. We flew in, Ubered to the house and walked everywhere. Went out for dinner every night, walking to John’s Pass. You can walk everywhere from this house. Used Instacart to get delivery from Costco, Aldi, and Publix. Everything was super perfect and we barely had to pack a thing because the house is so well stocked. Cannot wait to come back!
