Had a great time, place was just as described. There was a minor miscommunication on my part that they were very understanding about, we had no other issues and communications were fast when needed. Out of the 8 units on site we were alone for almost the entirety of our stay. Exceptional place and hospitality, would definitely stay here again. Thanks Dan and Jayne!

This property was perfect for our trip. We went May30-June 4 and it wasn’t crowded-which we were fine with! Walkable restaurants and souvenir shop. Very close to beach which was beautiful-found many shells and one shark tooth! Kayaked and had 2 dolphins right with us in Lemon Bay. Communication with owners was above 5 stars! Highly recommended this condo!

Nice condo located not far from great restaurants and within walking distance to beach access. Host Dan was very responsive. Only thing to let us down was the cloudy and cooler weather, otherwise a good stay.

Dan was an excellent host — super friendly and always available to answer any questions. The home was clean, well-equipped, and just steps from the beach. It’s also a short walk to the roundabout with great restaurants and nightlife. We had everything we needed and will definitely be staying here again!.

We had a great stay at this property. The interior is comfortable and clean. The full kitchen made it easy to cook meals during our stay, and there was a laundry machine just outside the apartment. We really enjoyed being a few minutes' walk from a beach with lots of shark tooth fossils. The location made it very easy for everyone to come and go as they pleased. The two provided kayaks were a lot of fun for exploring the bay and getting to otherwise inaccessible islands. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed for nearly 2 weeks here, love love love the LOCATION so much that we walked to the beach few times a day, barefoot!! We did check out other beaches around the area, but if you just want to relax and enjoy all aspects of the gulf without the crowd then this location provides all. Dolphin watching, fishing, shelling, shark teeth hunting, kayaking, walking, swimming along the beach with the tides on the sand bars, and dining… all within walking distance! With our adult daughter with us, we greatly benefited from 2 bedrooms and the PRIVACY of 2 separate bathrooms. All the rooms are bright with perfect temperature which gave out refreshing beach vibe during the day, and with no blue light in a quiet neighborhood, we slept very well at night. Kitchen has a nice size fridge, provided plenty of pots, plates, bowls, glasswares, and utensils that we didn’t need to constantly doing dishes on our vacation. Dishwasher detergent was provided for our convenience. The water pressure in the shower was another pleasant surprise, it was def therapeutic after a salty day! I’m particular with laundry detergent so we brought our own, and I appreciate none of the towels and linens were scented, And I love the quality of all the linens. Sheets and towels will be changed by the host with request, but we just did our own. We never met the hosts, but Dan is super down to earth, accommodating, honest and respectful over the phone. We love support people/couple like him!

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Jayne Ruiter

Host profile image

We have been seasonal residents of Manasota Key for over 20 years. Our Summer home is by Grand Haven Michigan. Dan is the former Mayor of Ferrysburg, MI and had a career in Information Technology doing project management for infrastructure needs in the U.S. , Mexico, and Canada. Jayne’s former careers were in law enforcement, teaching, accounting, and sales.

Why they chose this property

We used to visit Clearwater Beach before purchasing the property. Clearwater was getting to busy and overbuilt. We fell in love with Manasota Key the first time we visited a friend. The island still has the old Florida feel. Friendly neighbors, peaceful, uncrowded semi private neightbor beach, walking distance to parks, restaurants, businesses, and bars.

What makes this property unique

The property is on the first floor, other nearby properties are up extensive flights of stairs, beware! The property has been remodeled over the years and has new appliances, HVAC, and comfortable furniture and beds. The patio is available for happy hours and relaxing. A free washer and dryer is available for our guests.
