We had an amazing time at this property. Close to the ocean and the Bay and so many shark teeth were found. The hosts were amazing and we felt like we were at home. As a bonus we got to witness sea turtle babies being born and swimming off for the first time.

Floor lay out was different than normal, with 2 bathrooms in the master bedroom, but we figured it out so both couples had privacy and their own bathroom. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. They even had some spices for us to use. Very pleased with location and house, definitely would rent again.

Lovely Beach House, Lovely Hosts

Our family booked a last minute beach getaway before school started back up and this little house was perfect! The property is well cared for, with many updates, including all new appliances, since the hurricane. The host was amazing and the home had all we needed and then some. With the beach steps away, we spent most of our days in the sand and on the water. While the island is still recovering with many properties under repair it is still the beautiful, friendly, laid back place we love. Thank you for the memories!

Great, safe & close to beach

This place was such a pleasure! There is plenty of room, spacious kitchen and lots of places to relax! A short walk to the beach or bay and the tandem kayak was a great amenity! We will definitely be back! Much more private than a condo or hotel room!! Thank you for sharing your place!

Shark tooth adventure!

The home has been beautifully renovated, the pictures do not do it justice! Manatosa Key is obviously still recovering from Hurricanes Milton and Helene but people should not let this stop them from visiting! Perfect beach house if you’re wanting to stay at the beach. Literally steps from the beach. Our kids, and the adults, spent hours collecting shark teeth and playing at the beach! Definitely will be back!

Key to Life Beach House was amazing! The pictures online do not reflect the beautiful renovations that have been made. The house was well stocked with everything we could possibly need or want. It was very close to a wooden boardwalk for easy beach access. Even though Stump Pass State Park has not reopened from the last hurricane we were close enough to walk down the beach to the end of the key which was so peaceful. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Great place to enjoy your vacation.

Very nice house with great access to the beach. House is very clean with lots of toys for the beach as well as bicycles to ride. Enjoyed all the fun things to do on the Key as well as in Englewood and surrounding area. Very good restaurants and shopping close by. We were lucky to be able to see Manatees every morning at a fishing dock at Blind Pass Beach just up the road. Overall, a great time.
