  We stayed at this beautiful home for Thanksgivng week. We smiled the entire time of our surroundings. The grounds and view are beyond expectations, as well as all the appoinments in the house. Poolside was like vacationing in a far away exotic place! The bedrooms are spacious and the master suite is large with a beautiful bath and shower. The property was clean and the owners very helpful and accomodating. I would recommend this property to all my friends and relatives. We have plenty of pictures to show off. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

  Our family stayed at this fabulous home for Thanksgiving. The experience exceeded our expectations. The home and its furnishings are first class in every way. The beds luxurious and oh so comfy! My Sister and her Husband stayed in the Master Suite, every where you look, there is a view of the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. Although, the pictures of the home are fantastic, they do not reveal the true beauty of this home and its surroundings. Mike and Kathy are gracious in every way. I would recommend this home to my Family, Friends, anyone looking to get away to enjoy the splendor of our coast. We most certainly will be back to enjoy and relax at this home!

  Our extended family had our best vacation ever! It's true, the pictures cannot do justice to the beauty of the property (especially the huge circular driveway when it's lit at night). We, too, were blown away by the quality of the furnishings, amenities and the outstanding location; it doesn't get better than to lie by the pool and be able to also look at the gulf! The Lowrys' outstanding attention to details and top quality funishings,linens, etc. just added to our family's overall enjoyment during our stay. We hope to book a stay again next year and recommend it highly. You will not be disappointed and in fact, I think you will agree with our family that it was the best property you've ever rented!

  My family stayed at this property for a week. There was plenty of room for 7 of us. Home is as nice or nicer than the pictures depict and clean. Close to the north bridge making for quick access to Venice. We had everything we needed for a nice, quiet, family vacation. We particularly enjoyed the pool with its changing colored lights. The newly installed landscape lights are spectacular. If you enjoy nice things, this home is for you. We will certainly be contacting Mike and Kathy, should we need a rental on Manasota Key.

  We stayed at this gorgeous house for a week and we had a fantastic time. The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. There are plenty of areas to relax. The kids had a great time at the beach collecting shark teeth and playing at the pool. Manasota Key is a very peaceful place. We highly recommend this property. Mike and Cathy are the best.

  The listing here was an understatement, this place just blew us all away. Everything was new, clean, and ready on the day we scheduled. The beautiful swimming pool behind the guest house was a big hit with us and especially our friends that visited and stayed the night. They loved it. The views of the Gulf of Mexico and the sunsets where a priceless slice of Florida that we will neaver forget. Thank you Mike and Kathy for your attention to the details . Well done.
