This is our second time staying at this property. It is clean, very nicely decorated. The host goes out of her way to make our stay perfect. If we have questions, she responds quickly. I think we will be regulars. Thank you for making our vacations so special!

The house was super clean. It was everything i was looking for. I would definitely go back. A great place to call home while enjoying everything Manasota Key and Englewood have to offer. I was extremely active enjoying the beach. Coming back to an amazing shower and a comfy bed was the best thing ever. Im glad i chose this place!

Everything was perfect! The cottage was spotless and very comfortable. Everything you would ever need, was there. The walk to the beach was heavenly. The beach cart, chairs, cooler and towels were much appreciated. We walked to the SandBar Tiki & Grill. Dinner and music were great. The Beachcomber for breakfast was amazing. All the ammenities and location of this property will bring us back for sure. Thank you for being an wonderful host, Jen!

What a beautiful cottage, so comfy, fresh, up to date and well appointed, and the host was fabulous. Our son and his family enjoyed staying here. It is truly minutes from the beach (our 3 yo granddaughter had no problem walking to it), plus they were able to enjoy all that Manasota Key has to offer. The screened lanai was so large and comfortable plus there was everything a young family would need to enjoy a day at the beach. There will definitely be repeat visits!

The amenities were some of the best we have ever experienced. A remarkable refurbishment after hurricane Milton. The finishes were in line with those of when hiring a top tier contractor. The little things such as USB A & C charging ports in select wall outlets. The screened porch was a favorite location to have meals and relax between adventures. Great proximity for walking to Stump Pass State Park where we launched kayaks and watched the sunsets.

Great cottage!

This is a super cute cottage with lots of amenities for both enjoying yourself at the beach or staying cozy at the cottage. We loved the screened in porch and the fire pit, and the beach cart was so helpful for the short walk to the water.

We had an incredible stay at the oyster catcher. All of the beach supplies made our travel from Texas that much easier. We use the bikes and kayaks daily. The house was beautiful and clean, and we really appreciated the welcome basket of goodies. Jen was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay there longer!

Family Vacation

Our family of 3 stayed at the Shorebird property and it is as advertised. Cozy and clean with all the amenities. Close to beaches and with the use of kayaks and paddleboards as part of the stay I would highly recommend. Hosts were great and answered any questions very quickly. We would definitely stay again!

Beach lovers dream

Perfect spot for our girls trip. Only needed snacks, sunscreen, and ourselves. The house is a short walking distance to the beaches and restaurants. All beach necessities are thought of and the outside showers, grills, and patio are perfect for a relaxing night.

Beautiful cozy home away from home. This place really did have everything you needed. I mean everything. Additionally, this place was beyond clean! I’ve been vacationing in FL for 18 years and this place is by far the best!
