About this property

BEACH FRONT UNIT 4 UPSTAIRS

Island House is your home away from home for pure relaxation, refreshment, and rejuvenation. From sun-up to well past sundown; from glowing morning skies to saturated ocean sunsets and sparkling starry nights, Island House is your special place to let all stresses fly away. Sipping morning coffee or tea on the beach deck while drinking in views of the crystal blue waters of the Gulf….strolling along miles of pristine white sands on Manasota Key….watching playful dolphins, exotic birds and endangered turtles….basking in the sun….playing in the waves…what quiet moments and pleasant memories await!

Directly on the beach facing the Gulf of Mexico, Island House is a privately owned vacation rental of six fully furnished apartments–three upstairs and three on the ground floor. This is a non-smoking property. All units have full kitchens including stove, oven, full-sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, cookware, and utensils! A barbecue grill is available outside for all guests to share.

Great location close to restaurants and area where tours depart. The ocean view from the living room/dining area is incredible. We stayed during mid May and the private beach area was not overpopulated, but close enough to walk down to public beach if you want to see more action. The kitchen was adequately equipped enough for us to prepare meals, but we mostly ate out. We were on top floor facing the ocean. We never heard a sound, so it feels private even know there were units below and next to us

Definitely recommend

You just can't beat being steps from the beach! The apartment was spacious, clean, and had a great view. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. It was in a quiet area and the only people on that section of the beach were in the same apartments. We will certainly be back.

Little slice of paradise

Look no further for panoramic views of the gulf. This little gem is walkable to many restaurants and the beaches stretch for miles! Every am I would jog and soak up the beautiful scenery. The apartment was spotless with everything one needs to have a perfect stay! We will definitely return. Thank you for a delightful five days:)

Family Weekend Getaway

The property is exactly as pictured. Quaint, little building with a few units directly on the beach. The unit's furnishings are a bit dated but it was clean, it had all necessary kitchen utensils, linens etc. It also came with beach chairs/umbrellas. The host was very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Beachy Paradise!!!!

Omg!- this is the beach house you’ve been looking for! Nina was very helpful with us getting settled in and was quick to answer any questions we had. The bed was super comfy, everything was very clean, The views were great, we just had to wipe off a little salt buildup on the windows on the outside. The grill was useful as well. We hope to return!

Red tide!

This location is nice, but the red tide was horrible. We were not able to be on the beach at all. The condo really needs some renovations. It is very expensive, considering the amenities.

The location was perfect! The building is worn by salty air and possibly weather damage, but that is to be expected given that it is directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Every structure suffered damage from the hurricanes. They have done their best to repair and maintain the building. It was perfect because I could be out on the beach and my family could see me from the windows. We could go in and out to the beach with convenience. You are on the beach in 10-15 seconds. With being that close to the water, the building wasn't perfect, but as perfect as you will get. My only complaint was some seaweed and no see-um bites, which are not the fault of anyone but nature. My only suggestion is I think specific instructions should be provided for guests on the turtle nests. Literally, people were touching the nests and getting within 2 inches of baby turtles. Everyone needs to be informed of the laws and provided explicit instructions to protect the turtles. Not just, "Turn off your lights at night because you could get a fine."I would love to go back and stay at this property. It is really a magical place.

Perfect Location and views!

The location and ocean views from unit 4 could not have been better! Easily walkable to local restaurants. Only thing we would have found useful would have been insulated cups, beach bag and a cooler. But we were able to get them at the store not even 10 minutes away.
