Paradise

This condo is huge, beautiful and has a fabulous gulf view! Only six months post hurricane Milton, the island has recovered nicely for the most part. I highly recommend this property.

Great Family Vacation Spot

Great place to take the family. Plenty of room. Very enjoyable. Plenty of beach chairs to use. Glad we chose this vacation rental for our family vacation. Someone posted about parking in the garage, if you back in your SUV in the second parking spot, it will be easier to back in and pull out.

1st time at Manatee Key

Our 1st time in the Manatee key area but not our last. The condo was very nice! Lots of room for everyone. Nicely furnished and everything we needed for the beach in the storage area. The beach was very nice. Several very nice restaurants on the island. Overall an outstanding week in Florida.

Manasota jewel

Listing pictures almost don’t do this property justice. It is huge, well-appointed, and perfectly placed above a quiet, picturesque stretch of beach. There are water views from nearly every room, 3 covered decks with seating and views, and 2 kitchens which was perfect for us with a house split between early risers and a sleep-till-11am teenager. This unit covers the entire 3rd floor and is a combination of two formerly separate units, which makes for a unique and expansive layout. The master bedroom is an incredibly comfortable place to spend time. You can look out the massive sliders and big bay windows and think you’re on a cruise ship on the ocean; all you see is water everywhere. It is very nice to have 2 covered parking spaces and a big, reliable elevator (some buildings we’ve stayed on this beach previously had limited, narrow parking and elevators that feel like they’re one ride away from failure). There is a downstairs storage room with most everything you’d need for a day on the beach, e.g umbrellas, nice chairs, sand toys, fishing gear. Our family of 7 had a wonderful time and will look to return at the earliest opportunity. Thanks Deb!

Gorgeous place, Need better parking...

This place was absolutely perfect! We had 4 couples ,We all had our own bathroom. Big enough to have our own space, 4 balconies overlooking the gulf ... Highly recommend unless you have more than 2 cars...we had a few minor issues that we resolved ourselves, but otherwise a very nice place!!!

Incredible Condo and Location

Our family booked this condo for a week at the end of March. The property manager reached out a few days prior to our stay with check-in information and also the morning of our stay. Parking was very tight in the garage, the rusted steel steps next to our parking spot was quite a challenge. Either the driver or passenger could exit our van when parked, but not both as the support column on the drivers side and the steps on the passenger side obstructed our doors from opening. That is our only complaint about the property during our stay. The location is perfect, right on the beach. The condo was spacious and laid out well. The evening views from the balconies were beautiful. We would absolutely stay again, this time saving vehicle space and leave our beach chairs home as there were more than enough beach supplies in the locker.

Laid Back Luxury

Well appointed, large condo; luxurious, yet comfortable. The location is terrific-walkable to restaurants if you’re a walker. This section of the beach is perfect-not crowded and away from the public beech. Parking is a wee bit tight if you have a large vehicle. We’d definitely go back!

Fantastic

The apartment is beautiful and much larger than the pictures portray. Each bedroom and bathroom are tastefully decorated and well appointed. The kitchen was large and easy for many people to congregate. Has everything you need to cook up a meal. The coffee pot did a full pot and pods. Has ice and filtered water in the fridge which is a plus in Florida. The back bedroom/bath has its own small kitchen and sitting area and is adjacent to another bedroom/bath, plus another half bath. There is also another front load washer and dryer for that part of the house. Great for separate families or friends. There are four balconies but the best is off the master bedroom. Spent quite a bit of time out there reading and enjoying the scenery. The location is close to restaurants and the infamous Stump Pass where shark tooth hunting is the thing to do. Definitely try Texas Best BBQ! One of the best we’ve had! Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay and we enjoyed meeting all the neighbors and their cute pups!

Amazing!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was great. Condo had all the amenities needed for a large group to stay a week in paradise. Views were amazing although the waves and seaweed were rough the first 4 days. The parking was fine and the beach supply closet in the parking garage made it very easy to store supplies without having to tote everything back to the condo. We called housekeeping on Friday afternoon to let them know we would be leaving at 7:30am the next day. We asked if there was anything other than "normal" check out procedures but never heard back from them. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!!!

This is a fantastic property right on the beach. It is clean with a well stocked kitchen, and very nicely decorated. It has everything you could need from beach towels to toys for the kids to play with. I would highly recommend this location. Perfect for a family vacation.

Beautiful stay right in heart of Manasota Key

Close to everything and right on the Gulf is this beautiful and well appointed huge ocean front property. Property was clean but could use a thorough dusting. AC and appliances worked well. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. Ample space for 7 of us to spread out and still have plenty of room. The beach is right outside and spectacular. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas provided though could use some replacements. Only real thing to keep in mind is parking. You have 2 dedicated spots in a parking garage. Highly recommend small to medium size vehicles bc large vehicle will fit but with difficulty. Not a deal breaker but would have rented a smaller vehicle had I known. The condo had contractors doing repairs during the week and with their vehicles double parked, it was very difficult to navigate. Aside from these minor points, excellent place to stay

December getaway

Pictures don't do this place justice. It has tons of space. I believe it's the entire 3rd floor of this small complex. We stayed in December '22 and there were still a couple issues from Hurricane Ian, but nothing major. And of course the beach is great. Overall a fantastic condo, will stay here again for certain!

Family reunion

This property was the setting for siblings & their spouses to have time together remembering. The property let us sit around the dining room table to play games, laugh about those special memories and cry when we acknowledged that this may be the last time we are all together. This property felt like home and was hard to leave. We will rent again maybe with a grandchild or two.

Manasota Key Disappointment

My wife and I recently stayed at this property for approximately 2 weeks due to Hurricane damage to our home nearby. Upon arrival we could not get in the unit as the entry door hardware was broken. The property manager resolved the situation by removing the door handle and putting a piece of tape over it. It was repaired 3 days later. The unit is very spacious and has great views as advertised. It was clean upon arrival. I am not sure if it was from the recent Hurricane Ian but it has significant damage to 3 of the bedroom floors. The door to get onto the master bedroom deck (nicest deck in the unit) was not operational so we could not use that deck which was very unfortunate. The other sliders to outside decks did not work very well either but were operational. The biggest issue we had was when it rained water came into the unit thru the Master bedroom Slider and also another slider in the rear of the home so we spent that day trying to keep the floors dry to prevent further damage. Admittedly we had a significant storm one day. Also the ceiling in the living room leaked from the unit up above. Not significant but annoying to have drops of water hitting you while watching TV. While we were there several of the units in the building were having work done to them from damage from Hurricane Ian. I wish the damage to this unit would have been disclosed to us prior to our booking. We would not have booked it had we known. The unit needs to be repaired from I assume damage incurred from Hurricane Ian. With that and a little TLC to the tired furnishings it could be very nice. You can tell it was built in 2004. Overall not a terrible experience but not a good one either. We expected more for the price and were happy to leave a day early.

About the host

Hosted by Deb Bamford

Host profile image
We live in a small city in New Hampshire, but consider our condo on Manasota Key to be our second home. Our dream has been to have a condo right on the beach, but we never dreamed that we would have a home this nice and this large. We feel blessed and now look forward to renting our home to others who we hope love it just as much as we do. We have a large family; ever expanding as grandchildren keep us hopping which is great fun, but sometimes exhausting. We have great kids and great son and daughters in law so we want them all to come; therefore, we needed this huge condo to put them. We have a total of four bedrooms and four full and two half baths. Believe me; with our family we need it all. We have the privilege of owning commercial and residential properties in N.H., where we have great tenants who are almost universally considerate and enjoyable. We have a considerable number of tenants so we feel that we realize the needs of tenants. This is our first time renting short term so please communicate with us as we aim to earn your trust. We hope that you will love our home and want to come back year after year! Thank you for considering us. We will do our best to make this a wonderful vacation experience.

Why they chose this property

Debbie and I chose Southwest Florida and Manasota Key, in particular because of its laid back Florida lifestyle. We didn't want to fight traffic in Florida. We chose Gulf Breeze because of its bold Gulf front location. We are directly on the sand and we have beautiful panoramic Southerly, Westerly, and Northerly views of the Gulf and it's sunsets from four different balconies. We can see the sunrise over Lemon Bay from the easterly balcony. You can walk to the local restaurants and night life, yet our beach is uncrowded and very family oriented. If we want a hot dog we can walk to the hotdog stand or cook it on our grill allowing us to eat and snack on our beach. The grandchildren can play on the beach playground near our home. Groceries and a wide variety of services are located just over the causeway, but we don't leave the island for days as we have fresh fish sold locally and convenience shopping right here. There are no tolls to pay to come to the island and you leave your cares and the traffic to others. There are no traffic snarls here and you can ride your bike easily to anywhere on the island. We are close to Venice, Sarasota, and Naples, but Miami, the Everglades, Busch Gardens and Disneyworld are close enough for the kids to visit. Best of all we have fabulous wild and sea life so near. Walk the beach for miles as you view dolphins play just thirty feet off shore and beautiful shells by the hundreds appear at your feet. The Sea Turtles come each year to nest and the beach owners take their journey and nesting to heart. Beautiful birds of so many species come due to the natural surroundings of the isle. We came to relax and leave the world behind and we do! We hope you love this island as do we.

What makes this property unique

We believe the most unique benefits you will enjoy are the bold panoramic views of every direction that you have from this condominium. The sunrises and sunsets from our balconies are unforgettable and mesmerizing. This is the largest condominium on Manasota key measuring 4300 square feet. You cannot realize the balcony size, foreground and distant vistas that are comparable to these from any other condo on the Key. There are two balconies off of the living room and two balconies off of the master suite. The master has sweeping westerly views of the Gulf, and beautiful southerly views down the beach. The living room also has direct sweeping views of the Gulf and northerly and westerly views up the beach. The beach is lined with sea grass and sand dunes affording an ' old Florida ' laid back, uncrowded feel of yesteryear. The master suite itself measures nearly 800 square feet having a large walk in shower, oval soaking tub and two large vanities. Each room in the condo has a view of the Gulf of Mexico. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The dining and living rooms are oversized allowing you to spread out and find your space. We have toys for the kids, bath towels and sand chairs for all. Linens are all provided. The condo hot tub is large enough for eight and the grill allows you to cook and eat right on the beach. You have under the building parking away from the sun. The elevator takes you right to your door.
