Property was in great shape with all necessary items to have a lovely vacation. Beach was very close and easy to pop over to for a couple minutes or a couple hours.
The house has plenty of room for our family of 2 adult couples and 2 kids. It was clean, with sufficient amenities, the pool was great, private, quiet, and very close to the beach. It was just what we were looking for.
Lovely house, great communication, beautiful beaches
We enjoyed our stay, the house was comfortable, we loved the screened pool area and proximity to the beach. We also appreciated good communication and easy check in process. Local restaurants and beaches were lovely. We're wishing all local residents recovering from last fall's hurricane the very best and are looking forward to visiting again.
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! We walked the beach every morning and watched the sun set every night. We saw dolphins as we kayaked in the bay! And had excellent food and spirits at both the Lockn Key and the White Elephant. Our down time by the pool was so relaxing. What a great way to spend time together with family!
Great location, easy access to mainland. Private pool is fantastic. Easy walk to the beach. Hosts are quick to respond, accessible, and truly caring towards their guests.
Would definitely return!
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely old Florida-style home. The property was super clean, and even amidst ongoing construction and rebuilding from hurricane damage, the quiet setting offered a peaceful retreat. The listing pictures were spot on, accurately showcasing the charm and comfort of the home. We particularly enjoyed the pristine pool. The location was fantastic, with just a short walk to the beach where we delighted in finding shark teeth and witnessing stunning sunsets over the Gulf of America. The internet connection was excellent, allowing us to stay connected during our stay. The hosts were also incredibly responsive, always getting back to us within a few hours. One of our favorite restaurant spots was the Lighthouse Grill, which offered reasonable pricing and a delightful waterfront view. Additionally, we had an amazing fishing charter experience and enjoyed a Fossil Hunt in Arcadia. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
Property exactly as described. Just a short walk to the beach, and a nice pool to relax in as well. House had everything we needed and then some. Owner is very responsive and great to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
Comfortable stay, the pool area was lovely and the beach we had deeded access to was tops for the key. Owner was very responsive to questions during our stay.
Spent a great week at the property in Manasota Key! Beach was beautiful and private, pool and home were clean and accommodating! Host has everything you need for pool and beach, we really enjoyed our stay!
We had a great time staying here on our vacation! The home was clean and had several daily items (paper cups, spices/seasonings, etc) on hand that other homes we have stayed in didn’t have. Kirsten was very informative and easy to communicate with. The pool was wonderful, the kids had a blast! The beach is a short walk from the home, which is great. Would definitely recommend staying here!
