Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Manatee River

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.

We booked this airbnb for 5 days and it was by far the best stay. The house is beautiful. Pool was great! Me and my family felt at home and safe. I'll definitely book again.

Edgar was extremely responsive. The home was perfect for staying for the weekend. The only complaint was that the stairs could have been mopped and there was a dirty dish towel. But other than that, the home was perfect!

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!

we just spent a week at Ryan's place and it was amazing! the space was very clean and organized. this was one of the better equipped airbnb homes I have stayed in. the kitchen was well organized and had many convenient items most places do not have. there were beach chairs, sand toys, and even a wagon, which with having three kids was a blessing. the pool was amazing and maintained the temp of 88. I know some previous reviews discussed jet noise, as this is super close to SRQ but the jet noise was not an issue for us, and there were maybe 10 flights a day that we heard. Ryan was great at responding and providing instructions that were essential for our stay. we had a great time and my kids had the best time and are already asking when we can be back.

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.

Beautiful home, very clean, and very nicely decorated with all the modern amenities. The neighbourhood was great too, close to shopping and restaurants. The host was really welcoming and responsive. Overall super happy with our stay! Thank you!

I had an amazing stay here. It’s only 10 minutes from the beach and 20 from St. Pete. The house was spotless, lots of room for multiple guests. Great amenities as well. I highly recommend!

Wonderful stay at Gwen and Ricks! We were welcomed with fresh flowers in several rooms, and croissants for the morning to go with coffee out on the front porch. The cottage is clean and cozy and very homey. The kitchen is outstanding due to being well stocked with nice pans and utensils! One of the best we've experienced. We had the opportunity to meet Rick and he was SO nice! Gwen took great care of us and even had chocolate kisses for us. We would definitely stay at their place again next time we are in St Petes! It's a great location too! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

John was fantastic! So friendly and helpful! The apartment was very cozy and comfortable! He had the a/c going when I arrived which I really appreciated! Super quiet neighborhood and easy to access. Would definitely stay again when I’m in town visiting my daughter and granddaughter!

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!

Lovely and quiet place, I stayed for 2 nights and it was everything I needed. I loved the neighborhood, the view was incredible. Nearby shops and restaurants were great.

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.

Jesse’s place was worth it for the location. Very walkable around town. Kitchen was stocked and with some starter items. Our stay there was comfortable.

These condos are so cute and clean! You don’t even need a car to stay here you are walking distance from the beach literally across the street. There’s a Walmart and a Publix a mile away and lots of shops and eating near by. The condos are clean comfortable and offer a lot of cool things. Like the extra room with all your beach needs and extra food and condiments! We’ve stayed here twice this summer and plan to continue to return back

The bed was SUPER comfortable! (which is VERY impt.) From the wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, , bikes you couldn't ask for anything more. The beach wasn't far and all of the information given was spot on. I looked at a lot of AIRBNBs and this one by far reached my greatest expectations! Theres so much to say about this wonderful place. Yana was super nice and accommodating in any questions we had. We will surely go back again! Thank you for a wonderful get away!

We hated to leave! It was perfect for our stay. Very clean and steps away from the beach, close to everything store wise/ restaurants.

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.

Our family of 6 had the best time! Our condo was so nice, clean, and comfortable. It was great to have beach towels and chairs to use as well!! The beach and view was amazing. We had no idea it would be so beautiful. The pool wasn’t quite ready but that didn’t matter (repairs due to the hurricane) the ocean was enough. Our son rented a fishing pole from Hubbards Marina and had the best time fishing off the shore while our other kids swam. We would go back and stay at the same place again. The beach was not crazy busy. Early mornings and late evenings were so peaceful.

The main area of the unit was updated, had nice appliances, well-stocked kitchen for cooking basic meals, FAST and NEW washer and dryeR (an anomaly in beach units in my opinion). Super easy walk to the beach and unit has plenty of beach towels, as well as some chairs and an umbrella in good working order. I appreciated that they supplied lots of bath towels so you didn’t haven’t to wash them daily. We will definitely be back!

Room 302. Elevator was still broke from hurricanes, but she told us. Partial ocean view. Laundry room down the hall was a little smelly. The king sized bed was very tall. Not sure my in laws could have made it, but we did. Only found 2 kitchen cloths. Close to bars, across from the ocean. We took trolley to Clearwater Great central location.

Great place to stay! Gracielle and Jeffrey were great hosts and very responsive with answering questions. Super close walk to the beach with plenty of restaurants and food nearby. We enjoyed our time!

Loved this place! PRIME beach location and perfect for our needs. Great and walkable to tons of places and just loved the convenience. Only comment is that if you’re a light sleeper, there is a floor above you - but didn’t bother us! Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a great beach getaway :)
