Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Gulf Gate Estates

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.

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!

Wonderful place, comfortable and cozy house. Jacuzzi, swimming pool is just wonderful. The house has everything you need for relaxation.

It was a great vacation! Nice, spacious house. The kids were very happy with the pool, and we were happy with the jacuzzi. 😁 Clean, well-kept house. There is everything you need and even more than expected! Oksana is a very friendly and helpful hostess! If we plan a trip to this city, we will be happy to come back! I recommend!

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.

I booked this house for 8 guests. We were able to cook multiple meals, grill out, enjoy the fire pit, play card games, and cool off in the pool. Each guest had a decent amount of privacy which was important to us because our group consisted of all young adults. This place accommodated us well and it was a great price. It is a historic home but it is nicely restored. Daniel was great with all communication from the start of the booking process until the check out!

We had a great stay! The house is lovely and exactly as shown in the pictures. It’s especially great for families – the kids’ room has kids’ books and there are tons of board games and kids toys stored in the living room. Our kids loved how the backyard has a pool AND a swing set. The pool itself was lovely, especially being saltwater and heated (and had a ton of floats and pool toys). Kitchen was well stocked. Dan was very easy to work with. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!

We were very pleased with our airbnb! Dennis and Alyona were wonderful hosts. The home has all of the amenities, they've thought of everything! We loved how immaculate every space was. We were perfectly located to visit our family and friends. We highly recommend this property.

Denise’s place was great. Despite being next to an airport it was situated in a peaceful and quiet area, and I did not even hear any air traffic. The space itself was super cozy and such a cute theme. The decor in every room was vibrant & welcoming. Bathroom, beach closet, and kitchen were all well stocked. She even had mini coffee creamer and condiments, which other units I have stayed in did not. Furniture & bedding were comfortable. Washer & dryer was a big plus. Overall, a great place..Would stay again!

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!

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying here for a week. Place was nice and clean. Had everything we needed. This place is right outside Downtown Sarasota and only about 15 minutes from Siesta Keys. Lisa was a great host. If ever back in Sarasota we would definitely stay here again.

The apartment was wonderful. It is extremely clean, very spacious and new, easy to check in and check out. The location is fantastic. Great and fast communication and responsiveness by the hosts. This has been my best Airbnb experience and we will definitely be back.

Very comfortable accommodations. Overall, great stay. Not as stocked as we would have liked (i.e. no laundry detergent or bath soap), but not deal breakers. Will definitely book again!

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.

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 had an amazing stay here! The location was everything. Being able to walk across the street and have private beach access was so nice. We saw dolphins every night off the dock. We can’t wait to come back.
