We loved the condo and all it offered. Being able to be just steps away from the gulf was fantastic. Finding sharks teeth and shells was fantastic. In the evening watching the sunset set while dolphins played was unbelievable.

The place was very clean and quiet. Close to restaurant and night life. The beach was fantastic and you couldn't beat the sunsets. The only downfalls we're that the pill is across the road which can get very busy. Also, it has a shared shower that is between 2 bathrooms so it's a little weird if you are in your bathroom and sometime is in the shower. All in all we had a great vacation.

Great location! Steps away from the beach, access to the pool on the bay, walking distance to Lock N Key! Great long hike on the beach to Stump Pass- Florida State Park to find shark teeth. In regards to the condo, it is perfect for a family of 5 immediate family members. The SHARED shower was a creative use of the space however it might be awkward depending on who you are sharing the space. Very well maintained condo! Thank you!

I think it was more like 40 steps to the beach. No need dragging a bunch of stuff to the beach, because it was so close. Interesting Jack and Jill style bathroom, but everything worked great and the unit was clean and had lots of extra amenities.

Check In was a breeze, I may have missed it in the listing but there is a locker on the ground level that has chairs and other beach items available which made it super convenient, the only thing I will say is it’s on second floor it wasn’t an issue for us but the condos on the beach side all have stairs if have someone handicap that may be an issue and I could have missed that in the listing but all in all it was great!!!!

It was very cute, but there was a shared shower that connected that bathrooms that was weird and unexpected. We couldn’t find the paddles to the kayak until we discovered them (too late) behind the doors in the bedroom closet and it smelled like fish the entire time. It waxed and waned in severity, but even the bedding smelled fishy.

Thank you for your feedback. We have since modified the description of our shower and have since added the location of the paddles/lifejackets in the welcome packet. All value added, thank you. As far as the smell our cleaning staff didn't experience any strange odors. We pride ourselves on cleanliness and we will continue to monitored the situation. Fortunately, no further complaints have been received. Again, we appreciate your feedback.

Nice property

Just steps to the beach which was amazing! The condo was clean, amenities very nice like chairs and access to the pool. But there is only 1 shower which is not explained in the listing. And the bathrooms are connected by the 1 shower so no privacy at all when using either bathroom as they are open to the shower/other bathroom. Also the only way to access them is through a bedroom. That part should have been better explained in the listing, especially when you have a family coming back from the beach all wanting to shower and there is only 1. We made the best of it, and did enjoy the trip.

I feel there should have been at least one unpaid parking space for the unit.The unit is in need of a thorough cleaning, dust and hair was everywhere!The lamps at the bedside were inoperable!The toilet seat needs to be replaced and the hot water drizzled at the bathroom sink.There were only two trash bags for a four day stay.The use of amenities was not listed for use until the last day.There were no washcloths and no extra blankets .Location was great!

Dear Ronnie, Your request for a refund the same day as your check-in violated our cancellation policy. Your review, considering the fact you didn’t stay a single night in our home, is unwarranted, fictitious and malicious. For our greatly appreciated guests, both past and present, our standards have not slipped!  We pride ourselves on how clean our property is.  We DO still have a pool and we DO still have a very nice boat dock! It even has electric and a fish cleaning station! We do not have a boardwalk….which is why we don’t advertise one. It would be cool though. We are currently missing and still searching for the landscaping, a couple decks and some siding…hurricanes tend to do that…let alone two…back to back.  We’re working diligently to get these replaced and our property grounds back to their glory.  Please refer to our property description which begs of you to be mindful of our Key’s recovery.  It still hurts to see. This is a beautiful home with an excellent location.  If you want to have a relaxing time in a nice place, walkable to restaurants, close to the water….this is it.  Ronnie should have unbuttoned his top button, put on some flip-flops, and stayed a while.

The property listing is misleading, would be ok for 4 people, not 6. It is not 2 bathrooms; it’s more like one and a half, since there is only 1 shower. There are 2 sinks, 2 toilets, and 1 shower. To get to the shower you must go through either bedroom and then the toilet room of either bedroom. This means if you are stay in "bedroom" 3 you must go through bedroom 1or 2 to use a toilet or the shower. The plus is that the shower is huge! "Bedroom" three doesn’t have a door or a closet. There is no deck, wooden walkway or chairs/umbrellas at the beach as noted in the pictures.The balconies are unusable, as they aren’t big enough to stand on and shut the door. The laundry is across the parking lot and is coin operated. They have a decent sized, cluttered closet outside with the beach chairs, umbrellas etc. to use.

Thank you for review. We have since modified our property description and photos to adequately describe the property shower and Julliette balconies. Bedroom 3 is now equipped with a door! We apologize for the dated photos, which were post hurricanes. Hurricane Helene and Milton really did a number to our property, and it has taken some time clear debris and update our photos. We appreciate your patience as our little key is still in recovery. Once again, thank you for your review.

Why they chose this property

We chose Manasota Key because it's quaint, walkable to local restaurants and shopping and steps from the beach! In addition, we love the boat dock, heated pool and kayak launch on site!!

What makes this property unique

This property offers something for everyone! This part of the key is so narrow you can be relaxing on a dock watching dolphins play in the bay and with a short walk, watch the sunset from the gulf. Our property truly has it all!! Bring you boat, jet ski's, paddleboards or any other toy you enjoy and love each day you are here!
