Cozy Relaxed Beachy Couple Space - Part of Gecko House on Manasota Key

This is our second time here. We only live 90 minutes from here, but it is the perfect staycation for us. We always come in May, and have been lucky both times to enjoy the property alone. The pool is an absolutely amazing atmosphere and we enjoyed using the grills onsite to cook food. We were a little disappointed that the beach has eroded away since last year, but once the tide starts to go down you can get down there and find a dry area and it's so private. We enjoyed that very much. Great little place, and a perfect location. We hope to come back next year as well.

Very clean apartment with all kinds of water toys, umbrellas, chairs etc to use at ocean. Lots of kitchen items to use too.

Marti was a great host! Perfect for a solo beach trip and included everything I could possibly need. Snacks and water were waiting for me when I arrived. The unit was clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked so I was able to cook meals if I wanted. It felt very safe, in a quiet area. Bed was comfortable. It was a short walk to the private beach access and I spent every morning there, then came back and enjoyed the pool. Everything you would need for a day at the beach is provided. The screened in porch was great for mornings and evenings. I would definitely stay again when I'm in the area.

A lovely apartment convenient to Lemon Bay. Very nicely appointed. Our hosts provided everything we needed!

Great accommodations close to beach!!

Had a very nice stay! Ready for us right on time! Convenient location, close to our friends about a mile up the street!

Perfect little place to escape day today life. Everything was simple and clean. Look forwarding to coming back one day

Initially we had booked the 1 bedroom unit, the host reached out because some work was being done to the outside of that unit, so she upgraded us to the 2 bedroom unit. Check in was easy, communication was great. The common pool had lots of seating, and was very nice. She provided a ton of beach stuff. Grill worked perfectly. Onsite free laundry. Beach access was a short walk across the street . The unit was clean and had everything we neeeded. My husband and I needed this breat, as we have a large family at home. We hope to come back again.

This was the perfect space for what we needed. Bed and pillows were comfy, kitchen was just the right size, bathroom was clean and overall was a lovely place. The beach was a close walk so we were able to enjoy morning and evening strolls along the beach every day. Lemon Bay was a close walk and we were able to enjoy an afternoon of kayaking. We also took in a couple of Braves spring Training games. Marti was very responsive to all of our messages and they were such gracious hosts! We will definitely be staying again!

What a nice little place to spend the week. Everything was clean and in working order. Close to the beach. Excellent communication with Marti, the owner. Nothing but positives for this stay. Would stay here again.

Great accommodations, friendly neighbors, super helpful hosts. Nice beach lots of shells, found a couple of shark teeth. Shopping and restaurants in the area.

Our stay was wonderful. The place was clean and well maintained. Very well supplied. The hosts are very friendly and available for concerns (although we did not have any). Will definitely come back.

Great low key get away. Marti was an excellent host and the Gecko house was just what we were looking for.

kudos to Marti and her husband for all of their efforts to bring the cottage back to its former beauty after the horrendous damage from 2 hurricanes last fall. Very comfortable accommodations and close to beach and bay. Loved the restaurants that were open, Waverly and BeachComber

Good place
