Vacation rentals with lake access in Lakewood Ranch

Our family had a wonderful stay. Poolside and dock time had a resort feel. We so enjoyed viewing a dolphin, manatees and fish from the dock. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the bikes and beach amenities were awesome. The beds were very comfortable. Would highly recommend a stay.

Perfect spot for 2. All you really need for a getaway. (especially if you plan to cook at home vs eating out) William was great & responsive. Billy, who lives next door, was also great. Peaceful, pretty, private. Lots of wildlife! Loved waking up to the river in the morning on the porch. Kayaking is a must! Would stay again 🌸

We were the host’s first long term guests, and our stay was great. The host lives nearby and can come quickly if needed but always asks for permission first. The space includes a living area, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and one full bathroom. We used the kitchen mostly for cooking simple meals. The location is very secluded, which we liked. A gardener comes by occasionally to work outside for a few hours but that didn’t bother us. One thing to note is that there are a lot of trees around, so your car may collect some leaves. Overall we had a great stay thank you so much!!

Great location on the bay with a quick walk to the beach. House is very spacious and comfortable. We loved everything about it. The host, Kathy, was very responsive and made the whole process easy. Can’t wait to come back

Home was beautiful with plenty of space for our family.

The house/location/amenities were all as advertised—very clean and included everything you could need. We loved the fenced in yard, canal water access, and available kayaks. We will recommend to family and friends.

A 5-star place to chill out! The views are amazing. There is a dock at both front and back of property. We didn’t catch any fish, but we enjoyed the time we spent trying. Very clean, tidy, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and furnishings. About 10 minutes drive to great restaurants on the water. Host was in communication with us throughout the week. She replied to every question within minutes. Enjoyed our stay immensely.

What a great spot. Perfect stay. Spotless. Extremely clean. It was exactly what I needed. A place I could stay with my dog and extremely fairly priced. This place was as comfy as they get. Perfect old Florida style yet everything felt new. This will be my spot when I come back from now on.

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.

Very private, spacious, private backyard with pool to ourselves. Host was very friendly, flexible, helpful

We had a great vacation with our 10 mo old here! A crib was setup for us in the 2nd bedroom, we had a highchair and baby tub. It made traveling with an infant a little easier! We loved the pool since the ocean water was pretty chilly. We were a 10 min walk to turtle beach which we enjoyed one evening as we watched the sunset! Overall we had a great stay and our hosts were so welcoming and friendly!

The place was quiet and peaceful yet close enough to enjoy the island and the night life. Was glad to be away from all the spring breakers! Loved having the beach chairs and umbrella to use!

By far our favorite Airbnb rental yet! Beautiful views of the water while listening to the different birds fly through. Hosts were available if needed on property. The bed was super comfy. Bathroom, shower and vanity were all a nice space. The wrap around porch gave a real taste of luxury waterfront living. At the end of the stay, this is the kind of place that makes you sad you’re leaving. Ginger and John, you truly have a beautiful property! Valerie and I appreciate you accommodating us, thank you!

To clarify, we were not the typical guest. We lived about 10 minutes from Lakewood National and knew the community very well. We had just sold our house and were moving out of the country. We needed about 10 days to tie up a lot of loose ends. Ray actuality showed us the condo before we rented it. Lakewood National is a great community and close to all of the Lakewood Ranch amenities. The unit overlooks a beautiful Par 3 green for all of you golfers. For us, it was a great stay and Ray made it stress free.

Hosts were great and communicative, and place was comfortable. Would stay again

Extremely friendly host. Was very flexible with our check in and made everything so enjoyable. The home was located in the cutest building ever with the best backyard and surroundings. So peaceful. The home was way bigger than anticipated and was the best way for me to spend my birthday. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

We people think we know it all by reading half the instructions.1674 took me to the office. This was 12.00 am. After some time i gave up and decided to read everything on how to get in. We found it in a few minutes.🤣. Had a very rrlaxing time. Mark

Very cute small cabins on the boardwalk, cannot beat the view. I did not realize these are reserved thru the county so you have to check in at the Outpost desk where they are also taking food/drink orders and selling bait. There is live music on site every weekend. Check the outpost’s social media page for events.

We had a short 4 day get-away with my daughter and daughter-in-laws to celebrate a 40th birthday. This house was perfect for the four of us! It was a convenient drive from the airport and easy to find/check in after dark, as our flight was late in the day. The decor is beautiful, comfortable and every space was clean. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were really nice! We didn't cook in the kitchen, but we had quick breakfasts and snacks and found it to be well stocked. The table on the screened in porch became our favorite spot to hang out with coffee and watch/listen to the birds! Kara was a great host, accommodating our late arrival, turning lights on for us and responding promptly to any inquiries we had during the stay. This property felt special and welcoming to us. We will definitely recommend this place to friends and plan to stay here again when we come to Sarasota!

Great staycation for my husband and me. Glamping at its finest. We will be back!
