About this property

Super cute, fun studio steps from everything beachy. Gecko House Manasota Key.

Part of Gecko House on Manasota Key, this ground floor, corner studio is light and bright with a view of the salt water pool. It has a surprising amount of space for a studio, including two dressers, two large nightstands, and a decent sized closet. The kitchen is a pleasant surprise as well with a full sized refrigerator, stove, microwave and a Keurig. Everything you need to prepare and serve meals - except the food - is provided, if you are in the mood to cook. Linens and towels are provided - just bring your beach clothes!

The studio is normally set up with comfortable twin beds, but they can easily be converted to a king - just let us know your preference. There are two comfortable recliners and a small tv. Wireless internet and cable tv are included.

The best part of this studio is it is steps from Lemon Bay with amazing sunrises and fishing, and steps from private beach access on the Gulf of Mexico. Pelicans, herons, sandpipers, osprey are common sights while walking the beach, and if you’re lucky dolphins! You can walk the beach searching for amazing shells or shark teeth, or swim in the beautiful water or simply relax on your beach chair. Of course, you can always step outside your door and relax at the salt water pool in the chaise lounge made for two.

Gecko House
Es war einfach überragend. Der Vermieter ist super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es ist absolut alles reibungslos verlaufen, außer ein Hurrikan, aber der Vermieter hat uns kostenfrei ein Upgrade gegeben um unsere Sicherheit zu gewähren. Wir kommen bestimmt bald wieder!

Simply Paradise
Marti and Rod are truly outstanding hosts. The property is exactly what they listed and more. Anything you need they have it there for you beach gear, kitchen cookware, linens and everything in between. The location is just awesome, 50 yards to the private area on the bay to watch beautiful sunrises and 200 yards to your private piece of beach on the gulf for breathtaking sunsets. This gem tucked away off of beach road is a slice of heaven. And I just can’t put into words how Marti and Rod are just amazing people and such a pleasure to visit with. Couldn’t wait to book for next year. Thank you Marti and Rod for the most relaxing enjoyable vacation we have had in a long time.

Not Disappointed
This property did not disappoint and neither did the owner. First of all let me say the property was as expected. I stayed in the small unit and it met my needs. The pool was right out the side door. Laundry facilities just steps away and super convenient. Owner provides detergent, etc…I did not have a vehicle and there is a shuttle service on the island. Both the Bay and the beach was a short walk. Beach chairs, coolers, towels are all at the property for your use. Don’t overpack, don’t overthink it. Everything you need is here. Grocery stores will even deliver. Now, as for the owner; Marti is absolutely amazing!! She communicates and gets back to you very quickly answering questions and providing information. She has a beautiful nature and welcoming spirit. She goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. I have a friend in the area and Marti welcomed her in visiting and simple makes you feel at home. You will love this nice, quiet spot. I stayed here at the end of September, off season. It was perfect! Community was low-key, no hustle and bustle. Outdoor restaurants with live music. Just a wonderful lazy vacation which is exactly what I was looking for. I will return!
