Beachfront vacation rentals in Sarasota

Just as listed. The unit is a little dated and could use some cosmetic repairs/updates, but it had everything my daughter and I needed. Being right on the beach was perfect.

We had such an amazing time staying at Eric’s rental. The place was perfectly sized for the two of us and was filled with anything you could possibly need from utensils, bathroom toiletries, (special shout-out for the free feminine products that really wowed me!) and plenty of kitchen appliances. The location is an easily walkable distance from the beach and a few places to eat but the bikes Eric provided allowed us to ditch our car for a few days and explore! The town was wonderful. The residents and locals are extremely friendly and welcoming. Great places to eat and shop around, and the places recommended by Eric were phenomenal. Overall, a wonderful stay in a pleasant town. I would definitely book again with Eric, we greatly appreciate the lovely trip you’ve helped us have.

Everything was seamless and I would recommend to others.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive before , during and after our stay. Top notch

The house was very nice, not huge, but very accurate with what the pictures showed, and it was actually a lot brighter inside than I expected based on the pictures. Everything was clean and with 5 people, there was plenty of space. They provided beach chairs and an umbrella which was wonderful. We also used the grill which we enjoyed having access to. The only thing we would recommend is more pots/pans/serving bowls, etc. for use in the kitchen - that was a little lacking. Otherwise, communication with the host was outstanding. We had a couple of minor issues that were resolved immediately. They let us check in early and stay late based on our schedule and the fact that no one was coming in behind us. Finally, the location is awesome - right across the street from the beach with easy beach access. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this house.

This was the 2nd property we stayed at of Kathy's. Great hosts in a perfect location and we will absolutely stay here again! very walkable location and a bus stop close by as well if needed. the room of beach equipment is a huge bonus! can't wait for our next trip back!

Great location for us. Happy to be able to walk to restaurants. Beach is very close. I would stay here again. Mike and Javier were very responsive. Easy to get off island and to another destination. This destination will be better when they are more recovered from the hurricanes. They have already made a lot of headway.

Amazing place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation!!! The cottage is adorable with a gorgeous view and you can’t beat walking right out the back door to the beach! We love staying here!

Our stay in Indian Shores Beach at the Beach Cottages was great. The condo is spacious, clean and has all the amenities described. We loved the convenient location off the beach and easy access to the pool and hot tub. We used the shared grills a few times. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms made for great accomodations with our blended family of grandkids, parents and grandparents. Would stay again without hesitation.

This place was the perfect getaway to get the best of both worlds of beach and poolside! Would love to come back!

We stayed at Charlie’s place for a week in March. We traveled with our daughters, their husbands and families, which included a 7 month old, 1 year old, and 4 year old. When I tell you this is the perfect place for families, I am not kidding! Charlie had everything you need for the littles. On day 2 we asked if the pool could be a little warmer and he was there within 15 minutes to turn the heater up. The location was perfect. Easy access to all the beaches and too many restaurants to mention. I could go on and on, but believe me when I tell you we couldn’t have had a better week! We will be back!

We loved these accommodations! Loved that we were on a canal (so beautiful, and great for renting a boat for a few days), the lanai/pool was very spacious and inviting, and our experience from the very start was positive and friendly. The description mentioned 2 king beds, but there was 1, and the living room furniture isn’t what is pictured, but none of that caused any issues for us. We greatly appreciated the kitchenware that was available for use. Even though we didn’t make use of the grill, it was clean and available. So happy for the washer/dryer in the garage. Beds were very comfortable! We felt very safe - wonderful neighborhood. We’d be happy to return!

Had an amazing stay! Antoni was a great host and super helpful, would definitely stay there again!

Lovely home, well equipped, very comfortable and the beach is at the end of the street. Less than 10 mins walk.

Beautiful home, great location!! Highly recommend!!!

We loved Andy's airbnb! Clean, comfortable, and in a quiet neighborhood. Everywhere we wanted to go was about a half hour away. Lots of shops, gas stations, fast food, and grocery stores within a 10 minute drive. Cute pool area and mini-beach out back! We had a great time and would definitely recommend this bnb. Great value!

This property exceeded all of our expectations! The location is unbeatable—right on the water with breathtaking views and just steps away from the beach. The home itself is beautifully designed and well-maintained. The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The hosts were communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a peaceful yet stunning beachfront retreat, this is the place to be.

This bungalow is so charming, clean, and welcoming. Updated and very well decorated. The balcony porch is perfect! We ate our meals out there and read sitting on the loungers, also did yoga ( mats provided) with the sound of the waves and beach air. It is so well stocked! The host is VERY communicative. We will go back!

First off this home is absolutely beautiful. The Owners have spared no expenses decorating and making sure you have all the comforts of home and then some. The beds are all very comfortable and bathrooms well stocked with whatever you might need. The kitchen is also stocked with all you may need ie. Air fryer, toaster, mixer, nothing was missing. The pool was so relaxing. Sitting out back was great, especially when the wind was high as your protected. The BBQ and all amenities for a pool side snack was much appreciated. The TV out back was a bonus we loved. This home is a very short walk to the beautiful beaches and having all beach chairs and more with a wagon was great. The Free tram/bus stopped right outside. We used the Bus every day, so easy to get around the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will for sure come back again. We highly recommend this Airbnb! If what you want is a relaxing experience but close to everything this is the place. Darlene and John

House’s location is perfect. The house needs some updates but very functional. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. Plenty of towels, bed sheets and games. Paul was awesome answering all our questions. We really enjoyed the Island lifestyle. Exploring on the golf cart, having ice cream at the Shop. My family had a blast at the beach and watching the amazing sunsets!!!! Definitely coming back!!!

The location was great — not crowded at all and right on the beach. Short drive to lots of restaurants. Very convenient place for kids and had everything we needed. Highly recommend staying here!

We absolutely loved it here! Beautiful sunsets every night, beach access, and a very clean and updated home. Would definitely stay here again!

Rick and his wife were great hosts who could not have been more responsive or accommodating. They have clearly put a lot of TLC and thought into the place. There are several picturesque places to sit and relax (in sun or shade) and enjoy the warm gulf breezes. We enjoyed our coffee each morning in chairs looking over the Gulf. Two chase lounges were also provided along with a beach bag, towels & umbrella. The water is viewable from right outside the villa and the beach is a simple, scenic walk on a brick pathway. We left with a number of shark teeth that we found on our beach walks. While the hurricane last fall took some of the lush landscaping, there is still plenty to enjoy. The villa provides a private, romantic getaway with too many amenities to note. We would recommend Dearborn Street for coffee, quaint shops and an amazing farmers market (Thurs - Sun). Also, the Dockside Waterfront Grill and Pop's Sunset Grill were very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and hope to return!

The property is beautiful. This is our second stay at Linda's beach house. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time out on the beach right out front. We had the most amazing sunsets. Linda is very accommodating and easy to work with. Overall, a great place and we had a wonderful stay. We will be back again.
