Peaceful retreat,new luxury villa pool near beautiful beach Lemon Bay
This luxurious villa, built on a very private 3/4 acre lot, sits well back from the road. Mature oak and palm trees line the driveway to this beautiful villa which is a mile from Manasota beach and five minutes drive to major stores and restaurants. Free wireless internet.
The large pool area offers complete privacy and overlooks a small pond and bird preserve. Palm trees to the rear add a special feature. At construction the upgrades throughout to create a luxury standard which is immediately noticeable with faux painted columns and other feature areas. The master and guest suites have king beds.
Host was prompt with communication. Pool was green upon arrival on Saturday ok to swim by Monday afternoon. Beautiful blue pool after chemicals and cleaning.
The house and location are great. We love the local beach 5 minutes away. We like being away from the busyness while still being close to anything we wanted.
What a beautiful home. Clean and full of additional items to use at the beach. Loved that it was just down the road from the beautiful Manasota Bearch, kids loved looking for shark teeth. Was able to use the pool which was at 86 degrees. Pleanty of room for the 7 of us. Owner was responsive with all emals and texts. Would strongly recommend this vacation home.
The home itself is beautiful. However, I do need to point a few things out and hopefully the owner will address these issues for future. 1.The second king suite bathroom sink was clogged and had a slow drain. 2.The beach towels provided left a bit to be desired (the one I was using had two large holes) and they all were pretty thin. 3. Under the beds were very dusty/dirty and a lot of dust bunnies (my sister-in-law lost an earring and went under the bed to try and find it). Under all bed were like this. 4. The second KING suite had a QUEEN top sheet on it. 5. The noodles for the pool were water logged. 6.There was no where to hang your bathroom towels once youâve showered. 7. The location of this house is on a very busy road, albeit it sits back off the road. Also, this is NOT a 5 minute walk to the beach, more like a 5 minute drive. In summary, I think he needs to address his housecleaning service BIG time, update beach towels and pool toys and update on the bedding sheets.
We had a wonderful stay and loved the house. Gareth was so nice to check on us as the hurricane was approaching and thankfully passed us. We will definitely be staying here again as it is a perfect location and a great house.
Plenty of room, great pool area
We are beach bums, love staying so close to Manasota Beach. Easy check in, clean house, and great communication.
We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
Overall this is a wonderful home to relax in with plenty of space ! The description and photos are accurate. The host was very friendly and helpful. Big reflective House numbers on the mailbox would be helpful as arrived in the evening and had a hard time making sure we arrived at the correct home as it is set back from the road. The beach chairs umbrellas and other beach equipment that was provided made the trip to the beach very enjoyable. The heated pool was great !
Great house with so much room. Very well stocked with plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. The pool was kept at a very comfortable temperature the whole time we were there. Only draw back was the outdoor grill. It needs replaced with a NEW grill.
We stayed in the villa for just under two months (December and January) and found it to be perfect. The furnishings were great and the villa was wonderfully clean for our arrival. We did have one problem during our stay but Gareth rectified it very quickly. Overall, we can't overstate the quality of the villa. Highly recommended!
My wife and I made our yearly return to the Manasota area with our five kids and son-in-law.
The house was the perfect central location for traveling between Venice and Englewood.
We managed to hit sunsets at five beaches. Itâs hard to beat the sunsets at Venice Beach. Manasota Beach is less than 5 minutes away.
Be sure to check out Popâs Sunset Grill at sunset.
With the heat, we spent most of our time in the pool.
The space was perfect for 8 people to be able to come together or spread out for privacy.
This villa is beautiful. Has everything you would want. Location and amenities are good, shops and restaurants are close by. The property was very clean and well maintained. The pool was lovely, kids really enjoyed using it to its full use everyday. The beach was very clean as well and very close.
It was great watching the wild life in the grounds everyday.
For us, there was only one downside to this lovely villa. The pond/lake at the rear of the property was foul smelling most days and unfortunately we were unable to eat outside due to the smell.

A wonderful stay!
Thank you Gareth and Eileen for allowing us to stay in the wonderful Manasota Manor. The villa really had the 'wow' factor for us and all the extra little amenities (toiletries, welcome pack etc) went a long way! The pictures just don't do this villa justice!
The villa was clean (to a very high standard) when we arrived. Thank you also for providing a cot and highchair (free of charge) - we know that some management companies/villa owners charge for this!
The location of the villa is perfect for the beach and shops/eating places.
We would definitely recommend this villa to a friend and we can't wait to return!
Hopefully see you next year!

The property was perfect for our family (parents and 3 grown children). Close proximity to the beaches for shark tooth hunting or relaxing. Shark hunting supplies in the garage for your use. Pool was a good size for our family and was very peaceful. Inside the house had lots of space for our family to gather for meals, playing cards or just hanging out. The only thing that would have been nice would be some information at the house with restaurant, shopping/grocery store recommendations/options etc. We were able to find these things with a quick search on our phones but recommendations from the locals would hold a lot of weight for the guests. All around a very nice relaxing week for our family.
Considering there was a hurricane that had swept Florida the house was very nice, the pool area was a bit of a disaster with netting missing but Gareth worked hard trying to get the pool area back to normal, but we had to wait 4 days for the pool man to come before we could use it. House was nice but needs to be updated
