It was a super cute place with so many amenities- grill, laundry, kayaks, beach supplies and carts. We had an awesome time.
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed and then some. Updated and clean; well stocked with towels and linens and kitchen stuff. Loved the outdoor amenities as well. We will be back!
Nice clean place to stay, convenient. We loved It.
Loved staying here! Great location and have everything you can think of to enjoy your beach vacation. Very clean and cozy! We enjoyed the screened in porch and outdoor fire pit. The owners were exceptional.
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!
This is a super cute cottage with lots of amenities for both enjoying yourself at the beach or staying cozy at the cottage. We loved the screened in porch and the fire pit, and the beach cart was so helpful for the short walk to the water.
We would 100% recommend this property! Jen has thought of everything which made our life easy. Loved the outdoor shower, all the beach stuff for us to use, the screened porch, laundry, and grill. And the little lizards were a hit with our 4 year old! We will stay here again for sure.
We couldn't have been happier with every detail and beyond that the host could think of to make our stay at these cottages once again - absolutely perfect. If visiting Englewood or the area, these cottages are consistently clean, fresh, and are always better than described. Thank you!
5 star for comfort, cleanliness and convenience to beaches and entertainment! They supply everything you need for a fabulous stay on Manasota Key!
My friend and I have both lost our husbands to cancer. We decided to take a short trip. We could not have found a better place to stay. The house was very clean, and you have thought of everything we could possibly need. Thank you, Shirley & Mary Joe
The property was just as described & more. Everything you need for your stay. The cottage was beautiful & totally functional. Great to have laundry, bikes, & kayaks available. The outside area was amazing as well. Cottage was super clean. We had a very small issue & the owner was there almost immediately to fix the small problem. Location was close to everything! Highly recommend.
Amazing experience. We would recommend to anyone. So much thought put into the place and they give SO MUCH. Location is perfect for all the beach time your heart desires. We will be back..thank you so much for such a beautiful property.
This property was exactly as described, the host made sure to give us directions to the beach and the house had everything we needed to enjoy a day at the beach! The host made us feel right at home and ensured our questions were answered quickly. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time staying at the Oystercatcher property. Very peaceful and relaxing, lots of attention to detail inside and outside of the property, close to beaches and the communication with the host is the best I have ever experienced. They literally thought of everything! We will be back for sure!
We had such a wonderful stay! Our hosts Jen and Eddie have made this cottage property feel like home. Nicely decorated and so many thoughtful touches that will make you feel welcome and comfortable. Love the screened in porch!
100% Impressed with the property
We had an amazing weekend in the must beautiful home. Perfectly renovated with all the amenities needed for a great beach experience. Fully stocked kitchen! Details everywhere from games to snacks and a delicious bottle of wine. We will be back! We will be back
Very clean and nice property, well equipped. Free laundry on site is a definite bonus.
Very thorough and easy
The house is beautiful. It was so nice to have the bikes, paddleboards and kayaks available to use during our stay. Super close the the public beach access and Stump Pass State Park. The patio and outdoor area was great place to spend time after a day at the beach. 10/10, would stay again.
Everything from the location, cleanliness, and the personal touches were perfect! We had such a relaxing week. We enjoyed kayaking in the morning and spending afternoons at Stump Pass then grilling out in the evenings before looking for sea turtles at night. It was so nice to not have to pack our beach supplies. Everything was ready and easy to haul in the beach cart. We will definitely be back!
This bungalow was amazing!! So comfortable and clean. The goody basket upon arrival was such a sweet touch! The location was great. They had all the things needed for the beach and the bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards were a nice bonus. We will be back for sure! Highly recommend a stay here!
I've stayed at a lot of Florida beach places over the years. This one was exceptional. Every detail had thoughtful attention. I especially appreciated the clean understated decor, Beds were super comfortable. And supplying all beach equipment was a bonus. Everything was relaxing and hosts were SO nice. Loved that we got to meet them and get the history of this place (maybe add it to your welcome book). Stumps Pass Beach Park is a must.
We really loved this place. Very well put together.
