We loved everything about our stay. The location was perfect and the atmosphere/views were relaxing. We would highly recommend this property and will stay there again in the future.
We were celebrating my 80th Birthday. Our children joined us and we loved everything about your home. The pool, the enormous island, the beach chairs-everything!
Host was very accommodating. Fun place to stay if you like the outdoors. There was a lot of amenities. House was very clean and close proximity to places.
The stay was amazing The home is beautiful. We were close to several beaches and shopping the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need beds were very comfortable. The host was always available if you needed anything
This was the first time I had ever stayed away from home for a full three weeks, and what an ideal house to spend that extended timeframe. The house had everything we needed and the host was very responsive to any questions, even sending several links of things to do around town, which was very helpful. We spent considerable amounts of time on the screened in back patio. The view was stunning and the feel was so peaceful. We ate our breakfast on the patio, had our coffee/tea, and even played cards and dominoes there at night. The host had the house fully decorated for the winter holiday, which was a very nice and thoughtful touch. I would highly recommend this house and host.
The property was clean and well equipped from kitchen utensils to outdoor equipment. The property hosts were incredible any questions we had were answered quickly. Will be staying with them again.
We had a great stay here! The pool area was fantastic and we saw Manatees almost daily. The house was very well equipped and the owner's were very responsive.
This place was amazing, it had everything you needed for a perfect stay. We had stayed in 4-5 other homes in the area and this was by far the best. Our hostess was amazing and bent over backwards to make sure everything was right for us….we will be back!
We absolutely loved this place. It had everything we needed and then some. The kids loved the pool and the adults loved the kayaking and fishing. Beds were comfortable and there were lots of towels. We highly recommend booking this property!
We absolutely loved our two week stay in this beautiful home. Deceiving from the outside, but perfect and immaculate inside! Comfortable beds, amazing showers, and stocked with anything you could possibly need! Inside of house is exactly as pictured if not better. Bonnie was quick to respond to any message sent and truly made you feel welcome! We unfortunately didn’t see any manatees but there were tons of birds, turtles and fish to entertain us. Would absolutely stay here again!
We were impressed the moment we opened the front door! Lovely home with beautiful old Florida style wooden furniture, nice sitting area and bedrooms. The outside spaces were so nice to use. Saw manatee one afternoon and alligators one evening. Would definitely stay again!
Manatee Cove is a perfect location for your family vacation to the area!!Every amenity that you could imagine is here and in good condition. Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, pool toys, pool/beach towels, comfy bedding/towels, plenty of dishes and glass/plastic ware, paper goods, shampoo/soap supplies and even coffee for that first cup before you go shopping for the visit. Kayaks are in good shape and we made it all the way to the Bay one day. We saw lots of birds and manatees near the dock nearly every day. We loved our visit here and would definitely return!!
Beautiful home with great amenities. We had to leave early due to Hurricane Milton but we loved what time we were there. The Host Bonnie was very helpful with any and all questions we had. Highly recommend this property.
Our family loved our stay! The layout of the house was terrific, and the pool was wonderful! We used the kayaks and the fishing poles, too. There were lots of beach necessities including a cooler, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and towels. Would highly recommend!!

Why they chose this property
Our Bradenton home is our most favorite home! We were wowed the first time we set foot inside and saw manatees in the backyard!! Not only do manatees live here (mostly from Oct to May) but there are always flying fish which will delight you every few minutes!! I have never seen anything like it personally! I had never personally been to a more magical place! The kayaking is amazing with mangrove tunnels and the most tranquil canals that stretch for miles! The canal leads to the Gulf of Mexico and you will be thrilled at all the wildlife that call it home here. You will not be disappointed!!
