Manasota Key is a picturesque barrier island with an old Florida feel. The location offers easy access to plenty of outdoor activities including fishing, kayaking, golf, hiking and of course, beach combing! Both the sunsets over the gulf AND the sunrises over the bay are breathtaking! First-rate restaurants are just a mile away and live entertainment is available to you whenever the mood strikes.
There is a $100 per week fee for pool heat. Guests must be 25 or older to rent.
Beautiful home in an excellent area and very close to the beach! We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to the beach anytime we wanted and to have the ability to return at anypoint for naps for the little one! Excellent communication and easy check in! The house also had beach chairs, an umbrella and coolers to use as well! The pool was great as well to relax in while at the house!
The house was spacious with everything we needed. The house could use a good deep cleaning, but other then that it was nice. Beach access was a 2 minute walk literally across the street down a few house and your on the beach. The pool was also nice to enjoy on a hot day. The beach was never crowded. We enjoyed walking along the beach looking for shark teeth and snorkeling for sea shells. I would recommend staying at this house and would definitely stay again.
First time to Englewood. Enjoyed it completely. Short walk to beach-Nice screened in pool area. We visited the end of June, very quiet and peaceful. Donât know how the busy season is. Owner was very helpful and pleasant. We will definitely be back. Found some great restaurants close by.
Having a pool is lovely, and walking to the ocean is so amazing! The outside pool area and pool supplies area needs cleaning, but otherwise itâs nice.
The house has plenty of room for our family of 2 adult couples and 2 kids. It was clean, with sufficient amenities, the pool was great, private, quiet, and very close to the beach. It was just what we were looking for.
We canât say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! We walked the beach every morning and watched the sun set every night. We saw dolphins as we kayaked in the bay! And had excellent food and spirits at both the Lockn Key and the White Elephant. Our down time by the pool was so relaxing. What a great way to spend time together with family!
Lovely house, great communication, beautiful beaches
We enjoyed our stay, the house was comfortable, we loved the screened pool area and proximity to the beach. We also appreciated good communication and easy check in process. Local restaurants and beaches were lovely. We're wishing all local residents recovering from last fall's hurricane the very best and are looking forward to visiting again.
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely old Florida-style home. The property was super clean, and even amidst ongoing construction and rebuilding from hurricane damage, the quiet setting offered a peaceful retreat. The listing pictures were spot on, accurately showcasing the charm and comfort of the home. We particularly enjoyed the pristine pool. The location was fantastic, with just a short walk to the beach where we delighted in finding shark teeth and witnessing stunning sunsets over the Gulf of America. The internet connection was excellent, allowing us to stay connected during our stay. The hosts were also incredibly responsive, always getting back to us within a few hours. One of our favorite restaurant spots was the Lighthouse Grill, which offered reasonable pricing and a delightful waterfront view. Additionally, we had an amazing fishing charter experience and enjoyed a Fossil Hunt in Arcadia. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
Property was in great shape with all necessary items to have a lovely vacation. Beach was very close and easy to pop over to for a couple minutes or a couple hours.
Great location, easy access to mainland. Private pool is fantastic. Easy walk to the beach. Hosts are quick to respond, accessible, and truly caring towards their guests.
Would definitely return!
Kirsten and Jeremy were perfect hosts. The house was super clean and well stocked. Plenty of towels, dishes, and cooking staples. Florida is super-hot in July and August, but the air conditioner kept everything nice and cool. The pool is a nice addition as well. Thanks for a nice time!
We stayed with our 4 kids for a week. The house was as described and was just what we needed. The goal for the trip was to beach, swim, find shark teeth, fish and visit family. We had a great time doing all these things. Owners and property manager were accessible and helped when needed.
The pool was perfect to cool off on hot days. The large kitchen table accommodated our family. The path to the beach was great.
Would recommend!
Wonderful Stay with everything we needed and more!
Excellent location, very nice neighbors nearby. Kitchen was stocked when we arrived. Much more than any other rental we've seen. All the basics already there plus much more!
Pool was wonderful that outlooks the bay plus is covered so no bugs. Beds slept very comfortable and plenty of room for all 6 of us. Beach is just a short walk and we even fished from the bay and caught a few. Very wonderful home there in Englewood, FL right on Manasota Key. We hope to be back very soon!
From Missouri, had several young adults and a teen with us.
This is an amazing property. It had everything you would need a pinch. The pool was the best feature as far as coming off the beach and wanting to cool off , it was really an amazing space to relax and spend time. Also for those who had too much beach time .
The house it self was well stocked with towels, linens, etc. There are a few items in the kitchen that maybe we were missing but we made do no big deal. It was just a walk to the beach through a path. The beach was really private only a few other families at a time were there . Bonus for people with several guests : you can still call the little golf cart Stumpyâs to get a ride to restaurants, for different opinions on places to eat.
If I had to say one negative thing it would be that the grill was really not in a shape that you could grill on, it was rusty not in good shape for food period!!! We were hoping to grill burgers, brats and fish but that did not happen. We used the oven and the range. It worked but not want we had wanted.
We enjoyed our time and thought it was well worth it!!!
We had a great time staying here on our vacation! The home was clean and had several daily items (paper cups, spices/seasonings, etc) on hand that other homes we have stayed in didnât have. Kirsten was very informative and easy to communicate with. The pool was wonderful, the kids had a blast! The beach is a short walk from the home, which is great. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Property exactly as described. Just a short walk to the beach, and a nice pool to relax in as well. House had everything we needed and then some. Owner is very responsive and great to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
We fell in love with Manasota Key while there on a family vacation. With the area's laid back old Florida feel, tropical setting and beautiful beaches, you can't help but relax.
