About this property

BEACH FRONT unit 1 - STEPS FROM THE OCEAN

Island House is your home away from home for pure relaxation, refreshment, and rejuvenation.
All apartments are located in 1 building only a few steps away from the beach.

This apartment is located on the ground floor facing the beach. Large panorama windows offer an amazing view of the ocean .

From sun-up to well past sundown; from glowing morning skies to saturated ocean sunsets and sparkling starry nights, Island House is your special place to let all stresses fly away. Sipping morning coffee or tea on the beach deck while drinking in views of the crystal blue waters of the Gulf….strolling along miles of pristine white sands on Manasota Key….watching playful dolphins, exotic birds and endangered turtles….basking in the sun….playing in the waves…what quiet moments and pleasant memories await!

Directly on the beach facing the Gulf of Mexico, Island House is a privately owned vacation rental of six fully furnished apartments–three upstairs and three on the ground floor.

This is a non-smoking property. All units have full kitchens including stove, oven, full-sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, cookware, and utensils! A barbecue grill is available outside for all guests to share. Free wifi on property.

Awesome.!

It was one of the best properties we have enjoyed. Just steps from water, and the sand hits your back door. Pretty quiet, special for a family or a romantic weekend.! Highly recommended.

I really loved the property. Location was nice! The host was very flexible, which is always appreciate it went on vacation. I do wish that there was Netflix or some other type of streaming for when the weather was bad. But who really needs TV when you’re on vacation!

Unit 1 Island House stay

You cannot beat the view. It was steps from the sand. The place could use some updating to make it more cozy. It also needs a tv in bedroom and get HD. I spent more time outside so it wasn’t a huge deal but it would be nice in the evenings. It was very clean and had most all of your basic needs.

One upsetting moment.

Property is very nice, I will say the door needs a dead bolt on the inside, so no one comes in while you are relaxing during the day or night. The surprise visit we had was very upsetting to us. We realize work was going on but was still upsetting to us. Besides that, everything else was wonderful. Pls put a deadbolt on door.

Wonderful location

The property was as ON the beach as you could possibly ask for. Not a ton of amenities or anything fancy within the unit but it was clean and had as much as we needed for a short stay. I would definitely return!

Great stay at the beach!

The property is steps from the beach and the unit we stayed in, unit 1, had a panoramic view of the ocean. Walk out the door and within a few feet you’re on the beach. Everything was well kept and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Location

We LOVE this property! This was the second time we stayed at the Island House and we will most definitely return. The condo is clean, well appointed and is perfectly situated right on the beach. The only improvement I feel could be made would be adding hooks to hang beach towels and wet clothes. The Island House was just what we needed as a family to rest and recharge.

BEST BEST BEST everything

We loved EVERYTHING about this beautiful apartment. Super super clean, very well decorated, stocked just enough to do some cooking, the beds were comfortable, the WiFi worked, and you see your neighbors just enough to say good morning and good evening. The view in number 1 was spectacular and the beach was so clean and fun! The price was affordable for our family. Manasota Kay location is perfect for short day trips off the island. A couple fun places to eat and a convenient store is all they have. We loved the small community with no hustle and bustle. We’ve never stayed anywhere twice but we would certainly consider doing it here. Thank you for providing such a wonderful stay. 5 stars!

Charming property that is LITERALLY steps to the beach!

I have a HUGE pet peeve with vacation rental owners and that's when they list their rental as "beachfront" and you find out it's not. My favorite is "steps to the beach" which really means "get your car keys." This place...THIS PLACE!!!! It's closer to the beach than any other property I've EVER stayed at. From the front door of Unit 1 to the beach stairs it's 40 feet. If you walk 40 more feet you're swimming. Now that's CLOSE!!! This property is beyond charming. Yes it's an old building. Yes some things have been retro fitted. Is it ultra modern and flawless? Nope. But that's what makes it charming. The owners did a great job making this place look nice. The rough cut shiplap looks great. The kitchen is updated and the unit is tastefully decorated. The view from the front windows is nothing but sand and water. Absolutely amazing!!! Can there be improvements? Sure. The 1 bathroom is very cozy. Can that be fixed? Not really but it's tight. Some of the furniture is worn and could use updating. Other pieces seem brand new which is awesome. The king bed was a bit uncomfortable for me. Others might love it. A handful of other things, but why get picky? All those things melt away when you look out and see the great view. The biggest issue? We only stayed for a weekend. Next time it will be for longer!

Birthdays get away

We found the property as advertised- clean and ready to use. The location is fantastic, it was serene and calming - we walked the beach, read a lot while looking at the water from the inside of the condo, and were in awe of the never disappointing sunsets. Will go back some day
