Big, comfortable house with plenty of things to use inside and outside of the home - all of the amenities! The pool and hot tub are wonderful to unwind in after a day on the easily accessible beach! Highly recommend!
This was a spacious, comfortable home. The kitchen had every amenity you could possibly need and all the other rooms are comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub with a comfortable lanai and patio table. It us a short walk to the beach and quiet and peaceful. We had a couple of small issues and the host was extremely responsive and concerned. She was additionally very flexible in our stay dates I would definitely recommend and use this rental in the future.
Location to beach was great! Owners response time was great and eager to help. The home was very roomy. It could use a little TLC and deep clean but this would not prevent me from coming back. We had a great time with grandkids! Thank you for sharing your home!
We had a very nice stay at the Island Oasis. The house is roomy and the patio, heated pool and hot tub were great. The beach access was conveniently just across the street. Quiet neighborhood.
Great location with beach access and tons of great items included (kayak, beach wagons beach toys and chairs, towels etc.) loved the heated pool and hot tub & that the home was not in a busy zone, was away from lots of hustle and bustle.
Everything was amazing. Location is perfect. Short walk to ocean. This house has everything you need for an amazing vacation. Would definetly rent again. 10 out of 10
We rented this property for 5 nights while visiting friends in the area. The house was beautiful and located a very short walk to the private neighborhood beach. We also enjoyed the heated pool and utilized the gas grill provided. The owner was good about responding to inquiries. This included graciously allowing us to have our 2 small dogs stay with us (we requested in advance). Englewood wasn't busy when we visited, so our stay was truly relaxing and low key...Just perfect!
House was well kept and maintained in a quite area. Enjoyed every aspect.

It is a lovely open plan home. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and silverware. Kiddos complained that the pool was too hot. It gets direct sun and a hot July made it uncomfortable.
Had a great family vacation. House was wonderful. Very clean and had everything we needed in it. Pool was a saver with the heat. Short walk to beach. Dock was nice to watch dolphins in early morning and late night.
It was amazing! Everything was so beautiful the house the beach all of it! The home was well stocked with more then we ever imagined! Literally we had everything we needed! The private beach access was spectacular!! Cant wait to come back!

Very calm, serene area. House clean, nicely furnished and decorated. Although it was the coldest week in 3 years, the weather was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We are now looking to buy a property in the Englewood area due to this experience.
This was our 4th straight summer vacation to Manasota Key. However, it’s our first staying at Island Oasis and first working with Gulf realty. The owners and Gulf realty are wonderful and the property was amazing. If your looking at this listing and concerned about the walk to the beach (as I was) it’s not a far walk to the beach and more importantly….it’s a pleasant walk. My husband, 2 children and myself (none of us walk empty handed to the beach, the owners had also had new beach gear delivered to the house the day we arrived for everyone to use, we were very grateful for a wagon and umbrella to use) we had no trouble walking to the beach even in the July heat! The house and pool were perfect and we can’t wait to visit again!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Home was listed as a 4 bedroom actually only has 3,owner counted the sleeper sofa in living room as a bedroom.We were informed a few hours that the Hot tub was broken and a new one was ordered owner said the pool heat was turned up to compensate.Upon our arrival we discovered there was no fourth bedroom,the pool was not functional due to low water level below skimmer.It was evident that the pool was not cleaned,filled,sanitized or heated and made ready. Now onto the ant infestation that the owner acknowledges and makes excuses for and do not go outside at night before turning lighting on to scare the incredible number of Roaches away first! I asked the owner to reduce the cost to that of a compareable 3 bedroom home with no amenities and her response was our bad luck and said she would refund us a paltry 250. This is absolutely not what we expected from all our previous rentals through VRBO!

William were sorry about your experience. I would like to put some context behind your review. Im sorry the hot tub went out the week befor you showed up. We tried to accomadate the best we could but it takes time to get a new hot tub delivered and set up. It has since been replaced with a new hot tub. We had a bad series of events as the pool heater also failed. The pool maintacne guy comes every Monday. He was there on the November 2nd and everything was in working order. Also the tenants that left the day before you said they used the pool and it was fine. I was unaware of any issues. When you showed up you told me the water was low and the heater was not working. It was the weekend so I had to call the repair company Monday morning. They scheduled us for that Wednesday the 12 th to come look as that was there first availability. They told me the coolant line was leaking and it couild not be fixed. So we immediatly ordered a new one and it was installed the day you after you left on the 15th. As far as the 4th bedroom that has been fixed on vrbo when we entered 3 bedrooms with a pullout couch they listed it as 4 bedrooms. We were just there for 10 days after you left and had no issues with bugs. The house gets sprayed every 6 months inside and outside as is standard for Florida. That bieng said it is the tropics and we cant avoid all bugs.

Perfect 🏝 Private island Getaway !
My wife and I got away for a few days at Island Oasis and did not know what to expect. It was the best retreat we have had yet. We really enjoyed it for several reasons but to name a few, the house is gorgeous and well decorated so that you really feel like your on an island of your own. The pool was amazing and private as private can be! We enjoyed the shaded short walk to the water were I tossed the line in for some sport fishing. Literally the fish were jumping out of the water! And yes with all the fish in the area we got to see dolphins several times up close. We hopped on the beach bikes late in the evening, but always ended up back in the pool. We recommend this place strongly with or without the family.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please tell your friends how nice the house and the area is. Hope you come back again!
The house is def a decent place. Clean, stocked well with linens and towels. Hood layout. Good location. Def could use some landscape upgrades. Everything is over grown and trimmed back vs nicely groomed. Pool was nice. Patio cushions need pitched- stained and mildewed. . Cement could use a scrubbing. Screens are in need of repair, lots of gaps and pulled away from frame. I would give it 5 stars if the “jungle” would have been better maintained.

Perfect Beach Retreat
The house was exactly as described. Check in was easy and quick at the office nearby. The location was quiet and private, barely heard traffic the entire week. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed (bring your own soap, shampoo, tp). Beds were extremely comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The private beach access across the street we were never able to actually access as the water cones right to the steps but maybe we never were there at low tide. Either way there were 4 beaches nearby, all with tons of shark teeth to collect. The dock on the bay was great for fishing and has seats as well. Plenty of stores nearby for groceries and conveniences. Five star rental!
