This cottage was absolutely amazing! Was exactly as advertised, just come with your bag. Everything else is provided. If you choose to cook in, just get your groceries and everything else is there for you. Great addition are the bikes and kayaks, we so enjoyed having these items available. We will be back with more family to enjoy this picture perfect place. Great job Jen and Eddie!!
This home was a wonder to stay in. Everything u could possibly need was available. The outdoor showers were so handy after the beach! The laundry, the porches, the everything was great! They provided such wonderful instructions, it answered all questions for before, during, and after stay. I can’t wait to return and stay longer next time! We spent a lot of time on the beach each day!
My family has wanted to come to Manasota Key for many years and I am so thankful we found Shorebird!! We stayed here with 17 people, we all agreed that this was perfect and met all needs for our large group. Upon arrival the snacks and wine were a huge hit! Right away we felt welcomed and at home. We were able to put the bags down and walk a few blocks to the beach. We loved the location, so safe and quiet, just minutes away from the beach which allowed us to walk back and forth with ease. The added beach amenities were amazing, from the carts, to the chairs, umbrellas, shark tooth hunting tools, boogie boards, bikes, kayaks- Jen and Eddie thought of every last detail to make going to the beach fun and easy! We really loved that there were so many kitchen items that really helped cooking for 17 people so much easier- it was also so handy having the little kitchen items like lunch baggies and foil, very impressive touches. We also all loved the outdoor shower- it made it so handy to get clean after a day at the beach. We used the BBQ area every night and utilized the screened in porches and outdoor seating. Everyone slept very comfortable in the nice beds. It was an added bonus to have laundry access right there at the house. The kids looked forward to boogie boarding each night at sunset in the warm waters of the Gulf We felt so welcomed right away and Jen and Eddie were very fast to respond to messages. Thank you so much for making a memorable stay for our family!
We had a wonderful time at the property and it was even cuter than the pictures! We loved using the bikes and though we didn’t get to the kayaks we can’t wait to try them next time. The place was so clean and the beds super comfy. The space was perfect for our family and we loved the screened in porch and the outside spaces to hang in the morning and evening. We walked to the beach daily and biked to dinner at night. Will absolutely stay here again. A great layout inside and out and they thought of every detail!
Thank you Jen and Eddy. We so enjoyed our stay. And ever so happy to meet you both. The cottage was immaculate. Everything and anything is there!
My family really enjoyed staying at “White Pelican.” Everything about this property was perfectly described in the listing and completely met our expectations. The property was both fun and relaxing, every detail was thought of and everything we needed was provided. Even as a Florida resident (owning beach toys, chairs, carts, kayaks, ect) I enjoyed going on a beach vacation and not having to bring all of our beach gear! Added bonus the “snack basket,” we all loved this extra treat! Manasota Key itself is a nice small area perfect for a relatively quiet vacation. It was perfect not having all the touristy activities and shops around. Overall, we lived our stay and highly recommended staying here!
We enjoyed our visit at this location. Quite, lovely town! Just a few steps down the road and you are at the beach enjoying the beautiful beach! Let me just say HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST!! They provided everything you could possibly think of for your visit… Beer / wine / and snacks were there upon arrival what a surprise ?. They had bikes and kayaks and so much more to use while on our stay. You thinking about cooking they have spices/oils pots and pans everything you need to cook your meal. The kids had a GREAT time sitting by the fire pit and of course so did we! We will definitely be back.
We loved our stay! The cutest little beach cottage. Beds and bedding was very comfy and house was very clean. Had everything you needed even the little extra stuff they put in there to make you feel welcome and at home. What a great host! The back yard was beautiful and enjoyed it in the evenings. Close to beach and bay. Enjoyed the kayaks seeing the dolphins! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
This cottage was just perfect! Spotlessly clean, beautifully renovated, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. A quick walk and you are right at the beach. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!
We had the pleasure to meet the owners Jen and Eddie they go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed!. Location, location, location...10mins walk to prestine Stump Park, one block to beach. The facilities include everything you need is truly a home away from home. Loved having the kayaks we enjoyed them so much! Just bring your bathing suit for a weekend we did not even finish the complimentary drinks, snacks, they truly provided everything you need for a 3 day getaway. Thanks So much we hope to be back again!
Jen and Eddie have a great spot and they do things right.
We were here with our two young kids (4&6). Area is peacefull. The cottage was everything we needed: luxurious, very clean and unexpected ammenities provided our every need. Pleasant surprise to find some snacks and the fridge stocked with cold beers. Shared garden with bbq was great. We used the beach cart with umbrella and chairs for our beach visits (5m walk). Also used the freely available bikes, subs and kayaks. When we kayaked into the bay we saw dolphins just a few feet away! Obviously the owners put their love into this, thanks!
Great spot for a weekend away, we’ll decorated and great location. I would highly recommend this rental!
Very comfy accommodations. Felt right at home. The location so near Stump Pass was wonderful. The hosts provided everything you needed for a day at the beach except for the picnic basket.
All of the wonderful things that people said about this property are true. We had a wonderful time thanks to Eddie and Jen’s attention to detail. We can’t wait to return!
We enjoyed our stay at Shorebirds with our family of 4 for spring break! The amenities (shared with other cottages and in our own cottage) were so thoughtful! The cottage was spotless and comfortable and had absolutely everything that we needed for a perfect getaway. We loved meeting Eddie and chatting with him on our first night in Manasota Key. Thanks Jen and Eddie for making our stay at Shorebirds so special!
