My daughter and I traveled with our two frenchies to enjoy a beach escape. This was the perfect place! It's close to the grocery store, food, parks, and the beaches! We had an issue with the screened room door, but they came out and fixed it. That made the stay even better as we were able to access the backyard without going through the side gate. Those with smaller dogs may want to make sure you secure your pet on a lead until you know if they can fit under the fence or not. There is one side of the yard where the fence is slightly raised.Having access to a washer and dryer, Beach chairs, beach towels, and more made it feel like a home away from home. Overall it was a great experience and we would be happy to stay here again in the future!

We all had a wonderful stay!!! The home was clean, beautifully furnished and appointed with all sorts of amenities: coffee, tea, beach chairs, towels, laundry detergent and more. The fenced in yard was wonderful for privacy and the dogs. The owners were very responsive to our questions and needs. We would definitely stay here again!!! Not only was the home super cute, it was close to everything: grocery store, pharmacy, downtown, beaches and restaurants.

The host was very accommodating . I accidentally knocked a patio vase over and broke it. She said it was an accident and not to worry about it. And my favorite was the enclosed yard which was absolutely perfect for our fur baby

We were extremely satisfied with this property! Only eight minutes away from Manasota Key and the beach! The house was charming and just the right size for myself and my husband, but would also be good for a small family as well. Would absolutely recommend and we will be coming back.
