    We had a great visit and stay in Manasota Key. The location is great and the home is very nice. Everything was as described and the time there went by too quickly.

    Amazing location with beach and dock access for fishing! Kids had the best time and we were able to walk to everything we wanted to do. House had everything we needed and we were able to enjoy the fire pit and smores one night as well!

    What a nice place to stay!! The kitchen was very well equipped and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Loved the walk in shower in the master bath. The location was wonderful. Just a very short walk to the beach. Closer than a lot of so-called oceanfront properties. No steps to negotiate. The beach chairs were very comfortable and easy to take to the beach with the beach buggy provided. The home is decorated very nicely with a seahorse theme. The lanai is very comfortable and large. The pass through window from the kitchen to the lanai was very useful when we cooked out on the provided grill. We didn't use the outdoor shower. However, if my grandson had been there, it would have been perfect for him. We did, however, use the spray hose every day when returning from the beach. We would gladly stay in this lovely home again in the future. The three of us found around 1700 shark teeth during our one week stay. However, no big ones. But we're happy. The ocean in this area is so clear with lots of shells to choose from for your collection. Also, we fished at the dock and caught 3 catfish which we cooked and ate that night. The dock gives a beautiful view of the bay and the boats that pass through there.

    Beautiful vacation home with all the amenities. Just a block from the beach and what a relaxed vibe for our stay. Everything we needed was provided and having the beach wagon, chairs, and noodles to float made the experience that much better. Easy to find, check in was a breeze, very clean, comfortable bed, and every time we turned around we discovered something else we loved. Stump Pass was amazing and this location was great for shelling and finding sharks teeth. We will be back.

    Even though it rained almost the whole time the beach was still beautiful and calming. Check in and out was effortless and nothing can be better than an outdoor hot shower under the stars!!! We’ll definitely return!!

    We stayed with our two kids, under 5, and enjoyed the property. We loved the proximity to the beach, loved the beach amenities the homeowners left us to use, and the closeness to restaurants and some beach shops. The house was well equipped with the things we needed to cook, entertain, and relax. It's nice to see the area rebuilding after the hurricanes last fall. House was clean and well kept! We would stay again.

    This was our second time at this location and fourth year at one of Dan & Linda’s properties. Everything was clean and to be expected! We had just enough amenities and perfect access to our local favorites (beach, walking paths, restaurants). Manasota Key is a hidden gem and we’re eager to see it back on its feet from last year’s storms. Grateful for an amazing stay.

    Mom and i traveled from Wisconsin to celebrate her 86th birthday.We flew into Sarasota and it was an easy drive using google maps. The house is very well decorated and had everything we needed for the week. There are so many restaurants and shopping in close vicinity. The beach is just a short walk across the street, and never felt overcrowded. Beach chairs and an umbrella are provided, along with any toys if traveling with children. I would recommend beach shoes as there are a lot of broken shells along the shoreline. During our stay we saw both dolphins and 2 manatees close to the beach. If i get a chance to bring mom to Florida again, i would definitely stay her again.

    If you are looking for the activity of Daytona or Myrtle Beach, this is not the booking for you. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet Old Florida charm and pace, this is the place to stay. Quiet beach right across the street. great restaurants and bars within walking distance of house - yet far enough not to be bothered by noise. Bungalow has everything you need for a nice beach stay. Spent the weekend with family before son deployed to Kuwait. Thanks for such a wonderful memory.

    This was the perfect place for our family. So close to the beach and all the needed equipment for a relaxing day. Proximity is perfect so that if we did get too hot at the beach, just an easy quick walk back. And the gear helped us found TONS of shark teeth at the beach!
