  We really enjoyed the property and even got to see a mama manatee with her calf right by the dock. Spring has sprung up here and it was nice to avoid last winter.

  The location is excellent, the layout is very good and the pool was great. However the inside was not up to standards. Carpet soiled, terrazzo floor had many holes, furniture old and worn, kitchen Ok except for the bugs we had to evict from the cupboards.Bathrooms were OK but the door were peeling the veneer on the bottom both inside and out.. The outside was a mess. The socalled housekeeper had junk evrywhere, broken motor cycles, broken bikes, broken scooters etc etc. poll chemicals in jugs everywhere, we were afraid for our grand children. Front yard a died up disaster, not a plant taken care of or a retaining wall fixed. This has true potential with just a minimum investment in elbow grease, carpet cleaners and some new furniture. If the owner fixes it up we would consider renting again but not in the current inside/outsed condition. I have several pictures to show what I am talking about if the owner is interested. This could really be a show place with justa little elbow grease and a trip to the furniture warehouse

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children.

  Owner response: The carpet has been cleaned, the chipped paint has been repainted, the pest company has come, and the yard has been cleaned up. We wish the renters would have told us during their stay so we could have addressed it immediately. We apologize for that, our goal is for everyone to have a pleasant vacation.

  This is our second booking for this property this year. We enjoyed it so much during our two week stay in May that we booked it for a month this time. My wife, myself, two adult children and two dogs were very comfortable in this home. This property has a large swimming pool with a new heater. The dock is also very nice. This location is great for boating and fishing. You can fish right in your own backyard or head out to Lemon Bay or the Gulf. This is pet-friendly home with a large backyard. The owners were very accommodating and responded to any concerns or issues quickly. This home also has a separate living area / bedroom with its own full bathroom, AC unit and refridgerator and is ideal for the kids or others who enjoy their privacy. We will definitely try to reserve this home for our next visit to Manasota Key.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.

  The home has lots of room. The air conditioning needs to be replaced. Did not cool off at all. Also the grill needs to be replaced. We made due with what was there. Also there were not but a couple of wash clothes so I went out and purchased more. I'm sure other renters take off with those type things so it wasn't a big deal. Home was clean! Just minor things that could be fixed that I listed above.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers.

  Owner response: The air conditioning has been fixed. We wish our tenants would have let us know about the issue while they were there, we would have gladly taken care of it. The grill has also been changed.

  Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your home. It was clean and perfect for our time together. Our 19 & 17 year old teenagers enjoyed having a little privacy at the other end of the home with their own large bedroom and bathroom to use. We loved the spacious shared living areas, especially the open-air sliding doors that joined the large screen room. The surroundings were quiet and just a short walk to the white-sand beach. We loved spending time fishing, reading, looking for manatee, or just talking while sitting on the dock. The water is so beautiful and serene to look at. We can only suggest that it would be an enhancement to see the water from the house if the tall plants didn't block the view. Also, those guests who have dogs with longer fur need to be careful of small burrs throughout the back yard.

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: The dog burrs in the yard have been cleaned up. In Manasota Key the mangroves are protected and are allowed to be trimmed only 3 feet per year. It is part of what preserves Manasota Key pristine and beautiful. Mangroves are rich food for the Manatees that swim up to the dock and the beautiful bird life that can often be spotted on the property.

  What we enjoyed most about this home was the dock out back. We went out to the dock almost every morning. And one morning we saw a manatee swim right up to the dock! The sun rises on the dockside every morning. And the lenai is also on the sunrise / west side of the house as well. A wall of sliding patio doors leads out to the lenai/deck and pool. The house had everything we needed. The bathroom had plenty of towels. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans and dishes, etc. We hope to stay here again someday!

  Comfortable home, pool, sliding doors that gives outdoor living even on cooler days, screened pool no bugs. I had a Zodiac boat tied up at the private dock right out the back door, and with a short walk across the road you are on the beach. Fished from the dock. We will go back. Great place. Brian, who lives in a side/upper apartment was very helpful and helped us get to know the area.
