Quick Beach Vacay

This place could be considered a hidden gem. Native Floridians that have traveled throughout state. Great location very close to beach. Cool area that has some great places to eat and drink. Laid back vibe. Area still cleaning up some from the hurricanes…this part of state got really hammered. Definitely would rebook here!

Love this spot

This was my fifth time staying here. Amy and her team all do an amazing job. It has everything you need for a beach trip. Clean, comfortable, close to the beach, great little pool, bay views, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, grills, and I love the screened in porch. I’ve gone with friends and I’ve been with family, everyone has loved it. Looking forward to getting back soon! Thanks for a beautiful vacation spot!!

AMAZING!

Came here for a girls trip and absolutely loved it! The host was fantastic, the location was just minutes from the beach and I can’t wait to rebook! The location was clean and filled with all of the things you’ll need. The guestbook was filled with all kinds of information, places to visit and places to eat! Messaged the host a few times and she always got right back to me. I was very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend staying here! (:

You better like bugs

Bugs of all sizes at this vacation rental! Drain flies, to medium size bugs that would scatter under the fridge when you turned on the light, to cockroaches. If you like bugs, look no further. We actually left with 4 days still on our rental because of the flies/bugs/cockroaches. There were definitely other issues with this being an older rental (AC either on full blast or off completely, clicking ceiling fans, TV malfunctioning, etc.). Couple positives, it was close to the ocean and restaurants.

Not as expected

House is really old and has pretty bad water damage. Not as expected based on the pictures. The walls are dryrotted inside and starting to cave in. The floor is sagging in some spots. Moisty smell inside. Very cluttered with stuff but missing some important things like coffee filters and laundry detergent (had to purchase a large container for a one time use). Host was responsive and easy to communicate.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! I loved the cute decor, the appliances seemed brand new. The cleanliness was superb. I really liked the screened in front porch too. The cottage is small but it was what I expected. Even though the bathrooms and bedrooms are tight, the host has made great use of available space. There are plenty of hooks and shelves so I had enough room for my toiletries(I don't have an overwhelming amount). I thoroughly enjoyed the small town feel of Manasota Key. The beaches aren't crowded and we never had to fight traffic. The host was wonderful to send us suggestions of things to see and do during our stay. I enjoyed the welcome tray so much---thank you!! I even have ordered the same brand coffee for myself at home because I liked it so much. We will stay here again if we ever get back to the area.

This is a great place for a small family to stay. Great location and easy access to the beach. Just a very short walk. Our stay was quiet, cozy and clean. We had a small issue with the couch when we first arrived but the property manager had it fixed quickly. We would definitely recommend and stay again.
