Manatee Cove: Private Oasis with Wildlife, Hot Tub & Fun Game Room!

Our stay included four adults and our two young grandchildren. Loved our stay and your property. The house was so well kept, the cove with canoe and kayaks, and the game room provided constant entertainment when we weren't out and about. We were all impressed with the amount of amenities in the home. Thank you for providing a wonderful stay. We'd love to return!

The stay was incredible and the house was everything we wanted and more! Immediately we noticed how well everything was labelled! It made our stay seamless. We also appreciate the responsiveness of the host leading up to the trip. This is the best experience I have had with a vacation rental. I will absolutely be coming back, and all of my friends echo that sentiment!

The host was wonderful! Home was cozy, and inviting. It had just about everything we needed for our stay, even things I wouldn't expect like beach towels! We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again. The house was nice and secluded with plenty of parking, in a quiet neighborhood!

We enjoyed the game room and had a great stay. The house was as described, we would stay here again. ,

Tasteful decor, simply furnished, quiet property & neighborhood. Great supply of nearly everything we needed - beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, boogie boards were perfect! Kayaks were easy to use with the launch pad. Bring life jackets if you are picky. Game room and hot tub very fun. Only needed food and food storage bags/plastic wrap/aluminum wrap - host provided most everything else! AC and hot water worked perfectly. Clothes washer very loud, but worked. Canal had manatees on the other fork, away from the bay - so fun! We drove to Siesta Key, Venice and Coquina Beaches (Coquina was our fave, with dolphins and just the right size) - each about 40-60 minutes in Spring Break traffic. Neighboring geese, ducks, chickens were extremely entertaining!!!

Very nice property and great locationwould definitely stay there again

There were 12 of us (six adults six children) ages six years old to 11 years old. Hot tub was in an awesome location to totally enjoy as adults and also children. plenty of outside seating for watching the sunset and just enjoying the outside. All enjoyed the canal and kayaks! The game room had a wide variety of games for all ages it was my husband and I are children and grandchildren. We also enjoyed the table games that were stored inside the house.It was a great family VACAY place to stay highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of staying at Manatee Cove for my daughter's wedding weekend in Sarasota, and it was perfect! The bridal party stayed at the house, and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house was extremely well-stocked and incredibly comfortable, with plenty of beds and extra bath towels—this was one of the best-stocked VRBO rentals I've experienced.Our host, Sarah, was amazing! She communicated with me every step of the way, from answering my pre-arrival questions (like whether the refrigerator would fit the wedding cake) to helping us with any issues during our stay. We had an issue with the refrigerator, which she helped us with right away.After the wedding, my husband and I stayed a couple more nights with our pups to relax, and we loved using the hot tub and wood-burning firepit.A huge thank you to Sarah for making everything so easy and enjoyable! We highly recommend Manatee Cove!

Hey, this vacation home is one of the best places I've stayed at while working in Sarasota. I've been working out of town for about 5 months now, and every week I stay in vacation rentals because I love the homey vibe instead of staying in a traditional hotel. This place was great, with lots of activities to do and try. I just learned how to kayak over the weekend, and it was a blast!

Great place for kids
