Family-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown, Sarasota

Another great stay at this house! Love the location, very clean throughout, has everything you would need and more. We spent most of our time in covered outdoor area which has lots of seating options, the pool/hot tub is perfect! The only small issue we had was the door to the pool does not lock securely, therefore adding a safety risk if you have young children. It needs to have an added safety lock on top or something to that nature.

Super clean, quiet, comfy bed. We enjoyed the bayside pool. Nice views. Palm Bay club nice benefit as after a short walk over to the beach we enjoyed the chaises delivered and set up close to the water and hole drilled for our beach umbrella. Amazing sand is not over rated. Warm gulf waters and easy entry and exit. Breeze Trolley with their app made getting around without driving convenient . Lots of fun food and shops minutes away. This bayside spot a was a delight.

We had a fantastic stay! The beach was just a short walk away and so easy to access, which made our days relaxing and stress-free. The private pool was a huge hit—our kids were entertained for hours, and it gave us plenty of time to unwind. Christopher was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell he truly cares about his guests’ experience. We would absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

Our stay was amazing, Ven was a great host, unfortunately there are always minor issue that come about when staying in properties but their communication was so great it over shadowed all of our concerns! Thank you for the stay!

I love love this place. What a beautiful peaceful house. I rented the house for me and my daughters, we had an amazing time there. The house comes with everything you need for a getaway. It’s close to so many beaches, restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. Only 15 min away from my favorite beach which is Lido Beach. Erinn is a lovely host, communicating immediately and extremely friendly. I would definitely stay here again :).

Marc and Dave made our stay incredible. Their response was always fast and helpful. Great location and amenities.

Our family of four had a fantastic time. The villa was spotlessly clean, had all that one might need to cook meals and was in a beautiful complex with a large and also spotlessly clean pool. The location is perfect to get to all the beaches in no time and a short driving distance to Anna Maria Island, St. Petersburg and Tampa with all they have to offer. The hosts were very responsive and even recommended some activities in the area , which ended up being great. All in all , a great place that we hope to return to.

Maggie’s place is perfect!! So convenient to everything you need!! Everything in house that you would need and also everything you need to go to the beach!!! Maggie is very fast to responding to any questions you have!! 5 star for sure!!

Staying a this Airbnb on Anna Maria island was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location was unbeatable, just a short stroll to the beach, where we spent our mornings. The home itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. The private pol was a dream-crystal clear and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. It truly felt like our own personal oasis. What really made the experience stand out was the host. Communication was prompt, friendly, and thoughtful from start to finish. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. If you're looking for a peaceful, beachside retreat with all the comforts at home- and then some- this is the place. Anytime we travel to this island this is the first place I will check to see if it is available.

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.

Will definitely stay again if I ever come back this way. I wanted a place that had a private pool and was pet friendly. I got both. The neighborhood is peaceful. The house is very spacious and clean. One downside, there is no tv in the master bedroom but that was fine too. Don’t need to be in bed with a pool like this one. Thank you for allowing me to stay.

This was our second time staying at Lubos pool house. We really enjoyed our stay and are already looking far time to escape back. Great location near restaurants, stores and beaches. Back yard and pool are a dream and very peaceful.

We loved Ben and Ann’s place. It was just as described and more. Very comfortable and inviting. The location was perfect for us with great places to go within a short walk or drive. Ben and Ann were easy to contact if needed. Their home was comfortable and had all the amenities one could ask for. We highly recommend their place and will definitely return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was a private and calm place to come home to after our long beach days. We enjoyed spending our nights out by the pool. The pool lights we a nice touch. Would recommend to those who enjoy being in a quiet area.

Melissa has a beautiful place and is a wonderful host. Extended our stay one day due to a last-minute change. Very responsive and helpful! Cannot recommend the location more - quiet, close to everything you need. Stay here while in Sarasota...unless we're there!!

Such a beautiful stay with all the amenities, clear instructions and a clean place with everything you need surrounding you. Beautiful home, I appreciate the stay!

This place was perfect for two couples and close to the beach etc The beds were comfortable and check in and check out easy. We would stay here again

We had a great time. Super clean, beautiful home, full of extras. The property has many things to do and keep everyone entertained. Great communication, definitely one of our favorite vacation homes. Can’t wait to stay here again!!!

Marko’s family home was beautiful, charming, and spotlessly clean. The home is perfectly located, walkable to beautiful beaches and great restaurants and shops, including the market. Marko was extremely hospitable, ensured we were all set and gave wonderful recommendations. We loved this place and will be back again next year. Thank you!

Solen was an amazing host—very responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. She even brought us a brand-new can opener when we needed one! The house was spotless, cozy, and located in a great area. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again!

This house was beautiful and we felt right at home! The pool was wonderful!! They provided everything you need for a beach/ pool vacation. We loved it, would stay again if in the area!!

Great place, very clean and had everything we needed. Instructions very clear and the pie waiting for us in the fridge was much appreciated! The beach gear was a nice touch, just a pity the weather wasn’t kind to us.

The house was really great as were the hostesses. There were a few things like the air having to be set to 73 and no lower that seemed a bit odd for a summer day in Florida, but there were a ton of ceiling fans that helped keep things cool. The back yard and pool were a perfect little escape and it was a quick uber ride to some nice restaurants. If you want to be walking distance to the beach/water this may not be what you are looking for but Siesta Key is still less than a 20 minute car ride. Overall I would definitely stay with this group again. Instructions were clear and responsiveness/attentiveness was on point!
