    The best part about this property is the location! Bay, pool and Gulf are all within easy walking distance. It’s like staying in a quiet cabin. We (2 couples) loved our week at the Gecko House!

    WE absolutely love the tranquility of this place it is private, clean and has everything and i mean everything you will need for your trip, Has everything imaginable for your beach enjoyment, Had we known ahead of time all we would have had to pack was clothes. LITERALLY The pool was amazing and private . We are definitely booking again. Host answers you within minutes . Everything was perfect. Grounds need a good cleaning up but that's all i have to say in a negative aspect but they are still cleaning from last years hurricane in this area.

    Had a wonderful stay at the Gecko House. The home was very clean and comfortable and the location was excellent! It’s tucked off the main road making it feel like a private getaway but you can easily walk across the street to the beach or drive a short distance to restaurants on Manasota Key. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and utensils, there were lots of bath and beach towels, and even beach wagons, umbrellas, and chairs to use. We also appreciated the welcome basket of coffee and treats since we arrived late at night- we didn’t have to go out for coffee early the next morning! The property was well maintained and the pool was a great relaxation spot. Many homes on manasota key have been damaged by recent hurricanes, but the Gecko House is in perfect condition. We heard rumors of debris on the beach due to the hurricane damage, but we had no issues in the section of beach accessed from the house and spent lots of time there with our toddler. This house was perfect and we would stay again!

    We thoroughly loved our stay. Our hosts provided so many small amenities that itade our stay as easy as if we were home, but with the spin that we were in a tropical paradise.

    We had a great time fishing, swimming and looking for sharks teeth! The location is convenient and quiet.

    Thank you Marti for being such a gracious hostess. We really enjoyed getting to know you and your husband. We enjoyed your well-located property and would recommend it to anyone. We got to see several turtles come onto the beach at night to lay their eggs as well. That was an amazing experience.

    The property was close to the beach and had everything we needed (e.g. beach umbrella, chairs, and beach wagon). Marti was also easy and great to work with!
