The canal overlooks the treasured mangroves where you can observe several species of wildlife, including nesting birds and fish that jump right out of the water! There is no bridge to get to this canal by boat. If you are interested in fishing off the dock during your visit, a saltwater fishing license would be required if you are over 16 or under 65. To obtain a Fishing License, you may go to local bait and tackle shops, some marinas, or any tax collector office (3340 East Bay Dr Holmes Beach, FL 34217).
The pool heat is $150.00 a week. Pool heaters in private homes are locked for your safety and controls must not be tampered with as they are monitored by the pool company. 86 F is the highest heat temperature setting which might not be always reached. Please note if cold days and nights occur, water temperatures will drop and may stay cooler longer. Pool heaters will not operate and will automatically shut down if outside temperatures get too cold. While we take every precaution to ensure that pools are heated as specified, weather conditions may affect the temperature of the pool. Nothing can be done about this issue. Outdoor spas are not hot tubs and require heat at the additional cost. The temperature of a spa is typically set at the same temperature as the pool. In the event of pool equipment malfunction during your stay, Duncan Real Estate will expedite repairs as quickly as possible. It may be necessary to close swimming pools for maintenance purposes. No refund or rent adjustment will be made for circumstances beyond our control, malfunctions, or loss of use of equipment or amenities.

Absolutely wonderful. Great location, great property. Pool is a bit smaller than other pools, but it did not stop our kids from having a blast. Backyard is very private. Will return for sure.
From pictures on VRBO to reality, I have fallen in love with this property. Loved the patio with it's pool, deck and private shower. The swing on the lanai is just the whip cream on the ice cream. Had a plumbing issue and management was on it immediately! I would suggest a change in furniture, but otherwise, I highly recommend this unit. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Manatee Manor
I stayed here in May of 2014. I have a family of 4 with 2 under 12. The house was more than we expected. We never has issues with neighbors or weather. The pool was well kept and just the right temp. Only issue we had was the oven was inoperable. I would recommend Manatee Manor to a small family looking for a great place to stay that is in a vacation state of mind.
We enjoyed our stay, the home was very tidy, beds were very comfortable, pool lovely although not a lot of sun hits the area because of the shrubbery. We did not venture to restaurants or other public areas due to Covid so we utilized the home to its fullest. I would say the kitchen fell short, the range hood is quite low so we kept knocking our heads, the temperature indicators around the dials on the electric cooktop are worn away so you have to guess what is low or high , very little storage and very little counter space, cramped spaced. If you don't plan on cooking you will love the other amenities this home has to offer.

Thank you so much, Torii, for taking the time to write a review about your stay at Manatee Manor. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed this lovely home that is so nicely decorated and taken care of. The pool is for sure one of the best on the Island and the boat access by the canal, where you can fish and take off on a kayak, is a big plus. We will share your concerns about the kitchen with the owners and make appropriate improvements. Please let us know when you would like to return as we offer a Return Guest discount?

The house has a great location and the dock is easy to get the boat in and out to the bay. The downtown area is within easy bike riding distance.

Fantastic Summer Getaway
I stayed with my husband, sister, & brother-in-law. The house was perfect! Very clean and had everything we needed to make our week fantastic. Beds were very comfortable. The pool and outdoor shower were a big hit. A bit of a walk to get to the beach, but well worth it. The guys fished from the private dock and we even saw a couple of manatee. Highly recommend this home!

Just what the doctor ordered.
My cardiologist said I needed a vacation, not medication. I am prior Navy and we were delighted to find the home was ship shape in all areas. Ample dock to store 24' boat. Power at dock also. Room for the boat trailer in the front yard as well. Home is accessed from Bimini Bay with no bridges. Beds were great. We couldn't have asked for more. We are so used to arriving to a new vacation rental home and having to settle for less than stellar stay. This home was not the case at all. Thanks Carmen & the Duncan team for great customer service and support while we where there.

Super Cute House
We stayed here as a family of 4 for a week and it was wonderful. The house was immaculate and decorated so cute. It has even had a few updates since these pictures were taken. We used the kitchen a lot and it had everything we needed. The sunroom was super fun, and the pool area was very pretty with well kept landscaping. They provide you with a lot of towels which is great if you are going to use the pool and go to the beach a lot. They also provide several pool and beach items in the garage to use. A couple of large water birds would come on the back patio; the kids thought that was a lot of fun and they named one Bob that showed up pretty much every day. We even saw a manatee off the dock one day. The location is great, close to beaches, piers and shops; but tucked away nicely in the neighborhood. We had zero complaints about anything at this house, and would recommend it to anyone. This was one of the best vacations we have ever taken!
