Vacation rentals with lake access in Gulf Gate Estates

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The house was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The pool was definitely a highlight — clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing. The whole place felt peaceful and welcoming. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway.

This condo is perfect! The pool is very close. The balcony overlooks the pool and the bay. Lots of room with a pull out sofa bed, a king bed, a queen bed and a roll away twin. There were lots of beach items on the balcony along with a wagon to pull everything. I was very pleased and would rent this condo again! This condo is on the 3rd level so I would not consider if you have issues walking.. we had no problem though and got plenty of exercise.

This was one of the most beautiful locations we have stayed at. The view from the large screened porch and the little cabana that sits right next to a river. The use of kayaks (a single and tandem) made the trip very memorable. The river feeds into a big lake and can paddle over to a park where they have food, drinks and live music. The beach is a bit of a drive but not terrible. We cooked out on the provided new gas grill. We ran out of gas while cooking late at night and the host went and got a new tank of propane for us. We truly didnt want to leave after 3 nights. Highly recomend for nature lovers. Great spot for fishing too.

Staying at your place was truly a highlight of our trip to Florida! From the moment we arrived, your hospitality shined through. You went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and that we were comfortable throughout our stay. Your thoughtful check-ins and attention to detail made us feel genuinely cared for and welcomed it felt like a home away from home. Thank you for being such an outstanding host. We will absolutely be recommending your place to family and friends, and we look forward to staying with you again in the future!

Kara was very helpful and responsive! The place was beautiful and I loved Sarasota.

Jared’s house is ideal for a people who like to go to the beach. It had all the beach gear and is about 10 minutes from Venice and Nakomis beaches. The neighborhood is quiet and the sunset view is the best! The couches are great for movie night—super spacious and comfy! Definitely recommend.

Billie was an amazing host! She was extremely flexible with check-in and the cottage was great. We come to Siesta Key yearly and try to stay in walking distance to everything and this was block away from the beach and 10-15 minute walk to downtown. We didn't have car but there's parking available if needed. Will be our go-to spot going forward!

WOW. This little gem gave us the peaceful, relaxing, & pampered vacation we needed. Beautiful home with all amenities you could need, crystal clean pool at the perfect temp, and surrounded by nature, which awed us every day. Daniel was the perfect host, communicative and accommodating to special needs. The location was a stones throw from anything you could need. Fav restaurants we found were Sharky's, Dockide, and Peach's. Amazing stay, we are already looking at dates for our next stay at this tucked away beauty! Cannot wait to visit again!!!!!

Len was a terrific host, and his property is beautiful and exactly as described. Len made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived, and was very responsive to any of our text communications. the property is exactly as described and perhaps better than the photos on the listing, including a beautiful view of the water with stellar sunrises every morning. the location is quiet and centrally located to great restaurants and beaches on longboat or siesta key. highly recommend this location for any travelers looking for a quiet and comfortable stay in the Sarasota area.

I had a great stay. I appreciated the access to the pool which I enjoyed each day.

Bea’s place was nice and accommodating. The condo was clean, just as described, and stocked with supplies, except extra toilet paper. Bea was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. The pool is ok and clean, but the area is nothing fancy. If you are seeking a clean, safe place for a getaway, this place is great!

Absolutely worth it. We spent time on Manatee Beach, had great dinners at the Ugly Grouper, Anna Maria’s Oyster House and Marina Jacks which was more upscale. The house was super clean and very comfy. Last eve was spent in pool and hot tub. Also owners were responsive to any requests. i would recommend this place and stay again myself. We also rented a catamaran 3 hour tour 😉 at Kathleen D’s. very nice.

Beautiful place on the water. We really liked the thoughtfulness of the space. Would definitely stay here again.

Just as pictured. It is clean and new. Comfortable beds, wel appointed kitchen and bath. Beautiful beach, pool, and dock space. Loved the lanai and all the fans. We even took advantage of the beach gear. Many pet friendly places are disappointing, but this beautiful unit felt luxurious and our entire family was able to enjoy. We will stay again.

This spot was beautiful, the view from all around the living space was amazing. Our hosts greeted us once we got settled and were able to provide us with a lot of different options to spend our mini-vacation. Will definitely be doing our best to return to this amazing piece of paradise.

The condo was immaculately clean! Very comfortable. Very spacious Raymond was very easy to contact & quick with reply when needed!

I had the most beautiful time❤️The accommodations were perfect and Kristen is a very gracious host. The settings ideal with a resident horse and cow . There is a grill and a pool and a washer/dryer. The setting is very private and the space is well appointed. Kristen goes out of her way to ensure that a fun, relaxing and memorable time is had. I truly appreciated how pet friendly the property was also. It was beyond perfect😊🌸💕🐴

Great location, beautiful sunrise, great fishing! My daughter cast out and within five minutes, caught a bass!!

I absolutely loved the place. The cabins are very simple, but perfectly clean and functional as a place to spend the night. The music each evening was wonderful. The beer and the food was good. The scenery was wonderful. We rented kayaks and went up to linger Lodge. I will definitely go back.

This was our second year of spending a month at Aileen's place. Again, it was so perfect for my husband and I. We did have guests stay for a couple of nights and the air mattress is REALLY nice! Everything about the space is so wonderful. Clean, cute, everything you would need for a month. It is also close to so many beaches (Fort Desoto Park ( our favorite), St. Pete's beach, and Anna Maria Island beaches. It's close to all that Bradenton, St. Petersburg and Sarasota have to offer. We felt right at home the day we arrived and it was hard to say good-bye. We definitely hope to visit again!

Such a cute little spot. Very kid friendly and the beds were comfortable. My son caught his first fish here so precious memories were made. Will definitely be back!

Clean, comfortable unit. Kitchen was well stocked. Bathroom had a generous supply of plush towels. Danil and David were great to work with. I would return again.

House was very cozy comfortable and relaxing , Choose from many beaches around area , would stay there again.

We had a good stay. It was convenient for us and easy access to Sarasota. We took a nice walk at the nearby celery fields park.
