Great location! We loved staying on Manasota Key. The property was on the gulf and very private, many days we had the beach to ourselves! The sunsets were perfect! Our room was clean and cozy!

It was nice. But they need to put the square footage on all units so you know how big of a space your feet exactly. Hard to tell from pictures the exact size

What a beautiful place. Right on the beach a 1 minute walk from my house to the beach. The pool is great and heated. The amenities they include are awesome like fossil rakes, kayaks,life jackets and many other things. Great restaurants are near by and great shopping downtown Venice and Angelos Italian market. It’s a sit down restaurant, they also sell many Italian foods to go including a deli and desserts. I ordered the cheese ravioli they are 5 star. Everything else looked great and I will go there again soon.

The host was good at answering if we had a problem, the location was excellent. BUT the wifi didn't work most of the time and parking was horrible. We had some horrible neighbors up above and beside us, the ones above I think made our room leak fromthebathtub, and ruined some very important medication, kept beating on the floors, moving furniture and just plain being rude. I did find a couple roaches in our room, overall our relaxing weekend wasn't so relaxing, I most likely won't be staying here again. And wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
