Guesthouse holiday rentals in Manatee River

My wife and I stayed in the guest house for more or less the whole month of January after hurricanes Helene and Milton. Stone and Terra worked incredibly hard to make the property ready for us on our arrival date; during the restoration process, they kept us informed with photos and progress reports. I can't say enough about their honesty and work ethic. When we arrived, the guesthouse was pristine. The only difference between its current state and the photos in the listing is that they ripped out the flooring to reveal the terrazzo beneath, and laid out some rugs in the living room and bedrooms -- an improvement in our opinion. In short, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, and wish we could have stayed another month. With so many structures of its type on the beaches still uninhabitable, and some probably damaged beyond repair, this is truly a rare gem.

I enjoyed my stay here, can’t wait to come back! Dion and Danielle were more than friendly and accommodating. The Bungalow was very cozy and exactly what I needed.

This was our second time staying at Lubos pool house. We really enjoyed our stay and are already looking far time to escape back. Great location near restaurants, stores and beaches. Back yard and pool are a dream and very peaceful.

Cozy place, we felt right at home. It’s in a great location, restaurants are a few blocks away. I highly recommend this place and we definitely would come back!

Susan's guest house is in a quiet neighborhood, yet convenient to everything. The pictures on the website are accurate; the house is comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. There is a lovely private and fenced patio/yard that we enjoyed relaxing in with coffee in the mornings. The AC/heat unit was essentially silent, and worked great. Susan was friendly and quickly responsive to anything we needed. If we go back to Sarasota, I will definitely try to book Susan's house again.

What a blessing! We really loved this cute beachy nest. It was so nice how the beach, as well as, a cute little market/restaurant was within walking distance! Their communication was super fast! They came over to help me with a stove issue almost instantly! We also had a friend show up at the last minute who needed a place to stay and they were so welcoming. We will definitely be back! God bless you, Michael & April

Location, location, location! Ilene and Al’s place was exactly what we were looking for… a private beach for our family (that includes fur babies) AND a pool! Just like we imagined and similar to our stay in Hawaii. Al and Ilene’s place is as described in the listing and focuses on the surroundings vs the accommodations. The cottage is comfortable and quaint and meets basic needs for two people, but this property is all about the very rare private beach and beautiful surroundings that are quickly disappearing from coastal FL due to the overtaking commercial properties. Get it while you can and enjoy this rare gem… it won’t be here forever!

We loved our stay here! Would highly recommend to anyone staying around the area. Has all the amenities you could ever possibly need and the host was super attentive. 10/10!

Quiet and comfortable. Erinn thought of everything to make this an enjoyable stay. 🙂

Perfect for our needs! We were in town for a wedding. Location was within 15-30 mins of all the places we needed to be! Wish we had more time to enjoy the pool and the sunset by the water!

We had a great stay! The house is well appointed and comfortable. It’s in a quiet neighborhood but conveniently located close to major roads. Pete is a great host! Highly recommend to anyone looking for accommodations in the area!

This was a perfect place for our Sarasota trip. It was close to the downtown area, lots of good food, and several great beach options. It was a huge plus to have beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella available for our use. The place was very clean, comfortable, and private.

First thing that stood out was how clean the place was. Very well thought out and efficient space. Host was very responsive, left us a small gift for our anniversary, very thoughtful. We stayed here and drove 25 min to Anna Maria beach. Few good places to eat within 10 minutes too, good value.

The place was very clean and nice! It was in a good area really close to downtown that made it very convenient!

It was a pleasure staying at Camila’s place. Everything was as described in the description of the property. I had no issues with my stay.

Lovely place! Clean and cozy, plus it's nearby a lot of good restaurants. Edith was super helpful and communicative which made the whole trip run smoothly.

Amazing home! Easy check in and good lighting outdoors. Well decorated for aesthetic and functional purposes. Well established kitchen with everything you need. Rooms and bathrooms are cozy- beds and pillows feel very comfortable. There’s board games, card games, workout and yoga equipment, working tv’s in every room. Everything was thought out just like a home would be. Ethan was very helpful, friendly, and professional. Very glad I picked this home for vacation!

We had a wonderful weekend at Andrea’s place. From the beginning, she was very responsive and ensure that all of our questions were answered. The space was easy to find, easy to enter and quite private. When we arrived, it was perfectly clean and was just as described. The home is very bright and comfortable, and the hosts accommodated us with bicycles that we were able to use to explore the area. We had a great time in Sarasota, and this Airbnb was certainly part of the reason. Would definitely recommend!

Loved the location, so peaceful.

Jennifer was a great host!! The place is very charming and perfect for two people! The home is very close to everything we wanted to do and would stay there again!

This place was perfect for what we needed. We needed a little space to just be able to pop in and out of for the weekend. Getting in and out was very easy! It was clean, super cute and we felt very comfortable there.

John and Jennifer were very gracious and accepting hosts. They were very generous, providing us with extra liberties and amenities. We felt very safe and at home. It was a perfect haven for what we needed. Not to mention the home and garden is absolutely beautiful. Neat, peaceful, clean, and comfortable. Couldn't make a complaint if i wanted to. Absolutely 100% recommend staying here.

Just wow!! 10/10. This place was exactly what I was looking for. So clean and the backyard was beautifully setup! Plenty of towels and had enough supplies that lasted our whole trip ◡̈ Would definitely rent from Randy in the future. IMPECCABLE HOST!!

Great place to stay, very clean, modern and comfortable. Will stay there again! Thanks for having me, Roland!
