Wonderful property, amazing location!

We recently had a family gathering at Manasota Key, Shorebird was beyond perfect for our group of 17. The accommodations were perfect, everything was clean and the property was well equipped with beach items, boogie boards, shark tooth searching tools, umbrellas, chairs, bikes, kayaks, etc. Jen and Eddie made us feel so welcomed! We loved that there were plenty of kitchen items to prepare meals, that was very handy especially feeding 17 people! We loved using the BBQ area each night and between the patio and enclosed patio we had plenty of room for everyone to find a spot. We all utilized the outdoor showers, and loved the shower that had its own private area, with shampoo and conditioner. It was also an added luxury to have washer and dryer access, so handy, again Jen and Eddie went above and beyond and had detergent available. The location exceeded all expectations, it was such a quick walk to the beach, we went back and forth many times a day. The kids loved boogie boarding each night as the sunset, such a fun experience for them in the warm waters of the Gulf. So many added touches that really helped make us feel at home, and so many thing’s available in the kitchen that were so helpful for our stay. We came from California, so having all those small things like lunch baggies and foil was amazing. Thank you so much Jen and Eddie! Loved your home and all the great things you have done to make it feel so welcoming and comfortable!

They’ve thought of everything!

Best online vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at. They have literally thought of every need you have! Snacks and goodies when you arrive, beach cart and storage chest stocked with all things beach, every appliance you might need, spices, air purifier, smart tvs in every room, usb outlets next to bed, dust buster for quick cleaning, kayaks, SUPs and fire pits. Well done! You have set the bar high for the next rental and will be coming back soon! Also manakey is a hidden gem in SWFL. Thanks so much!
