This house had everything you could possibly need to enjoy time near the beach or on the water. The rooms were very clean, kitchen well stocked, hot tub super enjoyable! The best part: Location location location!! We were in town to fish and got to the marina in 15 minutes, super easy. On days off from our charters, we enjoyed the kayaks and dock. Very close to the local tiki bar restaurants and we liked Stumpy’s Free Ride! We’ll be back!!!
Rented a pontoon, great way to enjoy the bay.

House was as described, if you’re looking to be on the bay, great house and screened in porch is a must during summer! The only issue we had was using the private beach, we were there maybe 15 mins just walking around checking out beach and the staff at the island beach house weren’t very nice and harnessed us about the private beach asWeWere Leaving stating we could use walk way but had to go down to public beach. Owner was quick to respond when we informed them. Better off to drive to public beach or stump pass both aren’t bad drives. Overall great area and house.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the home, bayfront setting with private dock, screened porch, and the location. We’re sorry there was confusion at the beach access. The interaction described involved staff from a neighboring property, not our home or management team, and appears to have been a misunderstanding regarding beach access. As we explained, guests are welcome to walk to the beach any time of day, and there is plenty of space on this beach to set up and enjoy it. We appreciate you reaching out so we could clarify quickly and help, and we’re happy you had an overall great stay. Thank you again for staying with us. We’re happy that you enjoyed the house and location, and we would be glad to host you again for a longer visit.

DON’T HESITATE! Impeccably clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and the perfect location with the Bay in your backyard and the beach across the street…LOVE LOVE LOVE! It’s everything you hope for when you rent.We grabbed our coffee and enjoyed front row seats to the most beautiful sunrises right from the dock (we may or may not have found ourselves going from coffee straight into fishing-in our pajamas). The manager/owners were very welcoming and happy to answer questions. They really want your stay to be wonderful. We took their recommendations for dinner and breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! Attaching pics of the fish we caught right from the dock (we were so lucky!)

We had a wonderful stay at the Bayfront home on beautiful Manasota Key. The views of Lemon Bay from both the house and the dock were amazing—photos do not do them justice. We are amateur birders and were lucky to see eagles, various herons, shorebirds, egrets, and more. We even saw a dolphin swim right by us!The sunrises were incredible, and it was just a short walk across the street to the beach for sunset. The host was extremely helpful and responsive, and gave great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The home was spotless and very welcoming. Overall, we highly recommend Bayfront.

Plenty of space in this house on the bay side. Enjoyed all of the amenities and the host was responsive and easy to connect with. The house came stocked with everything that we needed (coffee is a must and was included in our stay). The private beach access was right across the street and an easy walk. There was a little bit of a challenge with beach access on one day (the property manager across the street was confused about the access) but nothing that hampered our stay and the owner readily assured us that we had access and provided contact information just in case we had any more issues- which we didn't. We collected plenty of shells and shark teeth at the beach too! My husband enjoyed the kayaks and the many visits by a certain dolphin that begged for the fish he caught. We also saw manatees, iguanas, and other wildlife from the peaceful back porch and dock.

We booked this property for the location and views and we were not disappointed! Most windows have water views in the home. We loved the dock and caught some sheepshead within a few feet of the dock. The beach walk is only a couple minutes and the beach was perfect. We prefer bayside properties and this one is like having your own nature sanctuary out your back door. We had temperatures in the 30s/40s with strong winds but the hot tub on the deck enabled us to still enjoy the view and outside. The house is well stocked and the host was great.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was clean, very well equipped with a lot of extras.

We could not have asked for a better rental home (and we use VRBO homes for most of our vacations). The location was beautiful. The dock off the back of the house was peaceful, and the beach was right across the road from the front of the house. There were several restaurants within walking distance. The house itself was gorgeous. The views of the bay with crystal blue water out of nearly two story windows were incredible. The decor was beautiful with an ocean theme throughout. This is one of the cleanest rental homes we have ever stayed in. The kitchen is spotless and very well stocked. The porch off the back was the best part! Completely screened, a large table with four chairs for food and games, Adirondack chairs, and a lovely hot tub- all screened in together. There was also a small table with a fire pit, although we didn't use it. I could spend all day on the porch!! The beach was very nice and not overly crowded (weekdays in March). The home has beach chairs and also plenty of beach towels- much appreciated. The owner/host was incredibly responsive- so quick- and patient with my many questions! Thanks so much for a great stay. We hope to be back again!

We had an incredible time during our stay. The home is stunning and the location is unbeatable. We were at the beach in 3 minutes. The place was spotless, spacious, and decorated with class. So much thought has clearly gone into making the space inviting and comfortable too. Can’t say enough about the owner’s attentiveness and thoughtfulness. Thanks to her suggestion, we got up to see the sunrise and ended up meeting a manatee by the dock. My family and I visit Manasota Key once or twice a year. This has been our favorite property and we are looking forward to going back.
