Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Venice Gardens

My sister and I had a lovely stay at El Tropicale. We were attending a yoga retreat in Lakewood Ranch so the location was perfect. Very spacious and the pool is great! All communication was prompt and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

This was the absolute perfect place for our family of 15! We had sufficient sleeping space and enough room to gather for meals and family time together, inside and out. The pool was wonderful! Everything was super clean, well kept, and just what we needed for a relaxing, vacation! The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to make our own meals and the fact that we actually had TWO fridges was a real plus! :) Also 2 washers and dryers was nice as we all packed light and took advantage of that . A big THANK YOU to the owner and host for sharing this wonderful place with us...and for the beautiful testimonies throughout the house of the love of God! The week with our family there was a blessing and the memories a treasure!

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!

House was spacious, clean & clutter free. Neighborhood was quiet and pool was clean and has lights for night swimming. WiFi worked great & living room has smart tv you can log into but downside was be aware no TVs in any of the bedrooms. The ice maker didn’t work in the freezer but we may have missed that in the description. I suggest bringing some on the way because stores are not close by. Overall 100% recommend and would stay there again.

It was good. Pool was not warm, but they tried to fix it. Location is good. 20 min to the beach. Hot water in the house has bad smell. No any other issues. Host is very friendly.

This is a beautiful home in a quiet safe neighborhood. The game room was great! There was a few maintenance items we alerted the host to. Only 1 effected our stay, propane bottle ran out and there wasn't a backup available. The listing indicated a firepit was available but seems it was stolen from the yard. Host was responsive to any concerns and problems were resolved or we just let it go. Hosts are at the mercy of their contracted cleaning service when they are not local themselves. We had a very nice stay.

Nice clean places to stay. Exactly as described online. Very responsive host! Would definitely book again!

I loved my extended stay at this home. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. All of the amenities were as described in the listing. Three very large bedrooms all with bathrooms and showers. The back yard was nice and private with a small canal. Even saw a manatee! I felt very safe and secure staying here. The location was central to many restaurants, grocery stores and the Port Charlotte Beach was less than 2 miles away. I dealt mainly with Adrian and he was caring, polite and responsive. I only had a couple of questions and his response time was immediate. I'm a big fan of college basketball's March Madness and the TV and it's apps allowed me to be able to live watch all the games I wanted. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at the Funky Flamingo. There were three in our group and it is a good size for three people. The bed and sofa bed are both extremely comfortable and despite the proximity to the airport we did not hear any noise from the planes. Moreover, the appartment is on a quiet cul de sac. Denise and Dean were very friendly and provided lots of useful information for finding the place. I especially appreciated the "Birds of Florida" book. All in all this is a very convenient place to stay and is comfortable and perfect for three people.

At the age of 43 I finally faced my greatest fear and flew to Siesta Key. Anna & Thomas made our experience even more amazing with beautiful accommodations, local recommendations, and clear communication. Thank you for the memories we will have for a lifetime!

Lisa’s place was absolutely beautiful!! So clean and spacious. Super easy check in. Amenities provided were beyond expectations. Pool was great. Location was good just a short drive to downtown. Road noise is definitely there - but we were able to crank the fan to have white noise throughout the night and had no issues sleeping. Definitely recommend this place, felt like a home away from home 🌴🏠

Best air bnb experience ever for us. perfect spot for a small get away. I'd recommend to all.

Good location and host was accommodating.

Dan and Charles place was perfect in every way! We cannot say enough about their place and them! Location couldn’t have been any better. We’ve been coming to Sarasota for 3 years now and this place was at the top of our list.Don't hesitate, book it now!

This is a great place to stay! Restaurants and shopping centers are in walkable distance and Denise is an amazing host. Keeping this place in mind for future vacations.

Listing was as described. Was near the highway so some sound cut through but overall place was beautifully kept and felt right at home. No one bothered me as well so that’s a plus. I would return.

This is the third time I've rented in this complex. The location is unbeatable - private beach, beautiful Gulf view from the beach, beach accessories were in good condition and a bonus kayak to use during the serene mornings. Definitely cannot beat the sunsets! The condo is by far the cleanest I've ever rented via Airbnb - thank you for that! The kitchen has everything - we cooked every meal. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Already booked for 2026!

Incredible spot with great value with the beach access. Siesta key public can get crowded so it’s nice to have this as an accommodation. Loves our stay Maureen was a great host with clear expectations!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was our first time staying on the south end of the island, and we found the location to be ideal. The property is conveniently situated just steps from the beach (with a private beach access) and close to many popular restaurants. The quaint ambiance of the property was a welcome addition to our experience. We also appreciated the private deck, which provided a comfortable and secluded space for our stay.

We loved our Spring Break stay at Helen and Hannah’s condo. The condo and the complex are beautiful and everyone was very friendly. A lot of retirees were around for the week, but a few families too. Our 15-year old enjoyed it too and we made daily use of the tennis court, pool and grill. The location is very convenient and is a bit away from the main Spring Break area and beach, but we like the peace. Thank you very much and we’ll consider returning again.

We loved the condo! My favorite part was the screened in porch with very comfortable seating, view of the ocean, and a table for card games with grandkids. I would like to definitely rent again when we visit that beautiful area in the future.

Perfect stay for my family! It had everything we needed and more. The beach chairs, mats & cooler made our beach days more enjoyable. Washer and dryer worked great and kitchen had everything we needed. We didn’t have time to use the paddleboard but it’s an awesome bonus. We would definitely stay again!

Great location. Easy walk to the beach. Enjoyed the swimming pool. Listing was accurate and was a nice layout with plenty of everything that was needed for a great stay.

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!
