About this property

Manatee Cove is a gorgeous, one of a kind property that makes for the perfect private getaway! Our family LOVES coming to this Key West Cottage Home! The beds are very comfortable, the layout is spacious & that morning cup of coffee on the water hits just right with all of the surrounding nature. We have so much fun with all the amenities we have to offer that our kids wish we could live here all the time. It’s a pleasure to share this with others & hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

The neighborhood is very quiet street with lots of retired folks in the area. You may see our neighbor from across the street occasionally as he takes the trash and recycling bins up the long driveway for us so our guests don't have to.

The beach’s are 10-20 minutes away! Ana María Island, Siesta keys, Cortez beach, Longboat key, Holmes beach, Indian beach and Coquina beach all close by.

The house is located on a dead end with a very large driveway so you won’t have any issues parking your vehicles.

Great time for all.

There were 12 of us (six adults six children) ages six years old to 11 years old. Hot tub was in an awesome location to totally enjoy as adults and also children. plenty of outside seating for watching the sunset and just enjoying the outside. All enjoyed the canal and kayaks! The game room had a wide variety of games for all ages it was my husband and I are children and grandchildren. We also enjoyed the table games that were stored inside the house.It was a great family VACAY place to stay highly recommend.

Comfortable Beachy Home!

Tasteful decor, simply furnished, quiet property & neighborhood. Great supply of nearly everything we needed - beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, boogie boards were perfect! Kayaks were easy to use with the launch pad. Bring life jackets if you are picky. Game room and hot tub very fun. Only needed food and food storage bags/plastic wrap/aluminum wrap - host provided most everything else! AC and hot water worked perfectly. Clothes washer very loud, but worked. Canal had manatees on the other fork, away from the bay - so fun! We drove to Siesta Key, Venice and Coquina Beaches (Coquina was our fave, with dolphins and just the right size) - each about 40-60 minutes in Spring Break traffic. Neighboring geese, ducks, chickens were extremely entertaining!!!

Best vacation rental in sarasota

Hey, this vacation home is one of the best places I've stayed at while working in Sarasota. I've been working out of town for about 5 months now, and every week I stay in vacation rentals because I love the homey vibe instead of staying in a traditional hotel. This place was great, with lots of activities to do and try. I just learned how to kayak over the weekend, and it was a blast!

Wonderful House and Host

We had the pleasure of staying at Manatee Cove for my daughter's wedding weekend in Sarasota, and it was perfect! The bridal party stayed at the house, and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house was extremely well-stocked and incredibly comfortable, with plenty of beds and extra bath towels—this was one of the best-stocked VRBO rentals I've experienced.Our host, Sarah, was amazing! She communicated with me every step of the way, from answering my pre-arrival questions (like whether the refrigerator would fit the wedding cake) to helping us with any issues during our stay. We had an issue with the refrigerator, which she helped us with right away.After the wedding, my husband and I stayed a couple more nights with our pups to relax, and we loved using the hot tub and wood-burning firepit.A huge thank you to Sarah for making everything so easy and enjoyable! We highly recommend Manatee Cove!

Gorgeous & Relaxing !!

My family was very impressed with the property! It had everything we could have needed for a fun weekend. Everything was very organized/labeled making prepping in the kitchen a breeze. The game room was awesome for our kids and the adults enjoyed it too! We loved spending time on the back patio for lunch during the day and s’mores by the fire pit at night. My husband caught a huge snook right off the dock and the kids had fun adventuring out on the kayaks. Very cozy house that was extremely clean and made us feel right at home! Cannot wait to visit again and recommend this place to friends and family!
