We were so excited right from the start. We opened the front door and was taken back with the size of the unit it had so much space. All of the furnishings are just so nice Beds are very comfortable, with plenty of very nice bed linens. Plenty of bath towels and as well big beach towels. Plenty of cooking utensils pots and pans. The unit is stocked with everything you will possibly need for your vacation. The beach front is just out the front door. And can also be seen from the living room, dinning room, and the kitchen. Open floor plan. Lots of seating available on the beach front. You have a front row seat for the dolphin show in the mornings with your coffee, and evening show as well ! The sunsets are spectacular. I can not say enough great things about the Island House. We look forward to coming back twice a year ! Also great restaurants and shopping in the area. For the guys, also seen several big fish pulled in.

Great Vacation Get Away

Great property located in the laid back Manasota Key area. We have stayed at this property multiple times and come back because of the amenities, including the beach and patio set up. This property is a great locations for well needed rest and relaxation.

I love the location. You literally open the back door and you’re in the beach. Very very quiet area. If you’re looking for a party area this is not it. This is more for family couples kids communication was very easy with the host very private area. I love it, and I will definitely stay again.

Turtles!

What a great location and to our delight it was surrounded by several turtle nests. What a thrill. One was laid the night before we checked in and another overnight the night we were there. Great location and very nice place.

Great location steps away from the beach. The extras are nice with chairs, umbrella, etc. Overall the place has been updated and very comfortable. I really appreciated the ability to pay for a late check out having a late flight. The only negative I could say about this unit was the other people staying in other units gather right in your front windows. So people are talking, playing music or just standing all day and evening so you don't really want to open your shades to enjoy the view. I would still recommend this place and the many positives it brings.

Island House Getaway

Our stay in this nicely decorated unit was perfect. It was very updated and there was a lot of room for moving around inside. Great view of the beach and very secluded as well. Having the water so close and doing some shark tooth hunting was fun. Many great restaurants around. Great communication with owner and some boogie board floats for the beach added to a wonderful stay. We will come back here for sure!

Wonderful Location

We LOVE this property! This was the second time we stayed at the Island House and we will most definitely return. The condo is clean, well appointed and is perfectly situated right on the beach. The only improvement I feel could be made would be adding hooks to hang beach towels and wet clothes. The Island House was just what we needed as a family to rest and recharge.

Couldn’t be a better beachfront location

Updated home throughout. Right on the beach. Everything was new. Still some beach debris from the hurricane around but this beach area was clean. Had beach chairs, loungers, & towels available. Grill to use as well. Good communication with prop manager. We would def return.

I really loved the property. Location was nice! The host was very flexible, which is always appreciate it went on vacation. I do wish that there was Netflix or some other type of streaming for when the weather was bad. But who really needs TV when you’re on vacation!

Beach stay

A few minor details, some handles to drawers were missing, had to turn off water during shower so we had enough hot water to take just one shower, one bedroom door handle came off and the guy who came by said he’d come back to fix everything and turn up the water heater never returned. I suggest a small tub to fit inside kitchen sink so you can just use that to wash dishes in

Unit 1 Island House stay

You cannot beat the view. It was steps from the sand. The place could use some updating to make it more cozy. It also needs a tv in bedroom and get HD. I spent more time outside so it wasn’t a huge deal but it would be nice in the evenings. It was very clean and had most all of your basic needs.

One upsetting moment.

Property is very nice, I will say the door needs a dead bolt on the inside, so no one comes in while you are relaxing during the day or night. The surprise visit we had was very upsetting to us. We realize work was going on but was still upsetting to us. Besides that, everything else was wonderful. Pls put a deadbolt on door.
