Great location - wonderful stay

Overall the description of this Vrbo is perfect. It is walking distance to the beach and there's even a private beach entrance across the road. I frequent this area due to my in-laws living nearby and have never stayed at the beach itself. This is a perfect spot for relaxing with family and it was SO clean. There was even a nice welcome basket from the hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

Perfect spot!

We loved our stay - it was the perfect location, with great amenities, and at the right price point. Heather & Rod, the hosts, had everything we needed and were extremely helpful leading up to our stay. The house was in the best location for beach access, morning walks, and accessing the restaurants. We didn’t realize the unit was part of a larger house, but it did not impact our stay. Highly recommend and looking forward to a future stay!

Amazing, incredible, fun, hidden gem.

From the moment we stepped inside the shack, we were just beyond WOW. The owners did an amazing job in creating an environment that made it cozy, home away from home, yet a very beach style feel. They literally thought of everything making it very convenient and beyond enjoyable. The closeness to the beach and other activities makes it a hidden gem. We will return for sure.

Wonderful Getaway!!

This was the first year the family and myself have not stayed beachside. I must say this rental was beyond excellent!! Very clean and spacious for all 5 of us. The kids loved seeing the snacks and drinks awaiting them when we arrived which is a nice touch after a long travel day. Heather has an outstanding place. She even stopped by to check in on us too see if we needed anything. We will definitely stay here again when we come back. Kudos to Heather on a wonderful place!!!

This place was amazing! Us and a few other families rented out the entire property for the weeknd. Our house was modern and set up so perfectly. They have everything you might possibly need covered inside and out. More than enough dishes, cooking utensils, and storage containers. The bedrooms are set up nicely and the bathrooms have ample towels and are beautifully done. They have multiple beach wagons, chairs, and umbrellas for you to use during your stay and the beach is a 3-5 minute walk from the house. Two outdoor showers and multiple bikes and kayaks. Stump Pass state park is in the neighborhood-a must visit! We spent our days on the beach watching dolphins and manatees swim and finding various shark teeth and other beautiful shells. The owners were quick with communications and very accommodating to anything we needed. This is place is a favorite and we’re already planning our next stay

A really nice home, in the best part of Manasota Key

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pineapple Express. It is very easy to find, close to the beach and restaurants, and just down the road from a Publix grocery store. It has a really nice private backyard patio with its own gas grill, many beach bikes that are all well maintained, and a set of kayaks. Inside was spotless with state of the art appliances. Beds and living room furniture are very comfortable. We would return without hesitation. Both hosts have excellent communication. Price was very fair with all that was provided.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
Rod and I are northern transplants from Ohio and Pennsylvania (respectively) that moved to Florida back in 1990. We have been married for going on 25 years and have two wonderful sons- Conor and Quinn who have kept us busy for the majority of these years with school activities, Club soccer and Boy Scouts. As we move into the empty nest stage of our lives in a few years we are working on our "Nest". We look forward to sharing this "Nest" with you as well.

Why they chose this property

The love of the beach has brought us together with you. We are excited to be able to share this Gulf Oasis with our friends, family and guests. We want to expand our circle by inviting visitors from all over the US, Canada and World to experience the quiet, serene location we have found at the Beach Shack of Manasota Key. It has given us great peace and relaxation and we have now been fortunate enough to own a piece of this paradise to share with all of you. And an FYI this property part of a triplex with a matching unit, Seaglass Inn, that offers the same amenities as well as the Flamingo's Nest that is a fully updated one bed/ one bath. We thought it perfect to be able to bring another family/friends and still be able to have your own space. Ask us about availability for both sides!! Unique Benefits

What makes this property unique

Spending time with friends on Manasota Key led us to fall in love with the island. The quaint community of visitors gives you a sense of belonging. When you drive over the small draw bridge that takes you on to the island your eyes sneak a peak to the water to see if the dolphins are in view - you can't help but let out a breath of calmness as you have entered your relaxing destination. Many travelers come from the North during the winter months to beat the cold weather and stay for months on end- year after year. Others that live in Florida or the warmer areas come to get away from our everyday life even if just a short drive. While at the Beach Shack you will feel at home whether it is for a weekend -a week - or a month. The warm "Good Mornings" from those on the beach looking for Shark's Teeth (which are abundant if you look) or those you pass while walking/biking just makes you feel like you have found your Home Away from Home. The Beach Shack of Manasota Key will become a favorite and repeat destination for you- Promise!!
