The property was absolutely amazing! Beautiful house and setting! Wonderful amenities. It had everything a family needs for a beach vacation. Our grandchild loved the play area and the putting green. The host was extremely responsive and helpful.
Our stay at this house was nothing short of amazing. The condition was impeccable, and the appliances were top-notch, equipped with everything we needed to cook delicious meals. Even on cool spring nights, my kids couldn’t resist the warm pool.The location was perfect. It was close enough to town to experience the small island ambiance, yet it felt like we were right next to the ocean. We took advantage of the optional golf cart rental, which was an absolute must-do. It allowed us to conveniently run from home to town for dinner, lunch, and even to the beach.One of the best things about this house was the inclusion of many activities and amenities that weren’t even listed on the seller’s website. The communication with the owners was top-notch, and they were an incredibly friendly couple. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a luxurious and enjoyable vacation.
My wife and I took our 18 year old daughter away for spring break and we were joined by good friends and their 16 year old daughter.The Retreat was quite a treat. Everything was very thoughtfully decorated, immensely equipped, and we lacked for nothing.We all had a great time enjoying the island from this amazing property. The professional listing pictures are beautiful but don't fear that they are hiding anything by having them professionally taken. It is even better than photos can capture.Two big things we think the owners can add to the listing offerings are:1) The smart TVs in every room allow for pairing of gaming controllers and streaming of games without the need for a console. Great for a relaxing evening wind-down or if the weather isn't conducive to collecting rays.2) A short kayak trip can take explorers to dolphin encounters in the Bay just behind the retreat. We saw 7 total different dolphins on a single paddle and they were swimming around and under us.The value of the golf cart can not be overstated either. It was the perfect conveyance to everything on the island without having to use our personal vehicles. That allowed us to stay in vacation mode.The property was extremely clean and fresh from floor to ceiling.We definitely hope to return and enjoy more of Katie's hospitality in the future.The Retreat

About the host
Hosted by Katie Swain
We are local owner’s / host that enjoy sharing our little slice of paradise with our guests. We chose this area close to our home for the old Florida feel, close proximity to the beaches, and crystal clear water, where our kiddos can enjoy the calm beach just steps from our home. Their personal favorite activity is searching for shark teeth all along the wonderful beaches.
Why they chose this property
Manasota Key is one of the few places left along the gulf coast that provides you with that Old Florida feel. A little slice of paradise tucked between Sarasota and Ft Myers, easy access to multiple International Airports. While on the key you can let the stress melt away, families can enjoy everything from the beaches to exploring Lemon Bay kayaking and boating alongside many dolphins.
Enjoy the wonderful local restaurant’s, that offers great food, drinks and live music. Dearborn Ave is just a short drive off the key, where you’ll enjoy great little boutique shops, farmer’s markets and more wonderful restaurants. A short 20 min drive inland to North Port provides you with the home of the Atlanta Braves Spring Training at Wellen Park in North Port. Wellen Park provides a great little downtown area, with live entertainment and activities scheduled throughout the week that includes live music, Friday night entertainment, Sunday Farmer’s Market, local shops, restaurants and a fantastic park that’s very popular with the kiddos.
What makes this property unique
Sunset Beach Retreat was professionally designed for families. We set out to create a place with a fresh design that compliments the wonderful beach surroundings that Manasota Key offers. With families in mind we packed it full of amenities for all age's.
Our goal is to provide a beach retreat that families can share and create life long memories that they can share with one another and come back to enjoy every year. So many options for your group to choose from. We offer a brand new pool that’s heated in the winter and can be chilled to a desired temperature in the dead heat of summer. For those looking for something different we offer a 5 person Infrared Sauna and Cold Plunge. The kiddos have their own area with our little playset that’s a sure hit for the kids in the fenced in backyard area, giving parents that peace of mind where the kids can play for hours while you relax and enjoy everyone’s company.
The new layout and interior design offers families and groups two bedrooms with King Size beds, along with a Bunk Room with four Full Size Beds for the kids or extra room for additional adults if you elect for an adult only trip. Both bathrooms have been completely redesigned and remodeled. We offer a large double vanity with huge walk in shower bathroom next to the bunk room and a bathroom with tub/ shower combo between both primary bedrooms.
The newly designed kitchen / and dinning room offers a beautiful island that seats 4 and a dining table that can seat up to 8 allowing everyone to dine together for those larger gatherings. We offer a brand new washer and dryer for your convenience to do laundry during your stay.
Everything from the inside and out has been professionally designed to provide the best relaxing and fun guests experience for families of all generations. Want explore the island in style, please reach out to us about the option to rent our 6 person golf cart for the convenience and enjoyment to cruise the island in style.
