Amazing Place

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Marti and Rod's VRBO - Gecko House. The location was perfect, with access to both the key and bay, and included the use of kayaks and bikes. The apartment we had was super clean, spacious, and well set up with everything we needed. We loved having two bedrooms and baths for the nights we had guests. Beach chairs, umbrellas, etc., were all supplied and the pool and pool area were just lovely. Beach access to a spectacular beach was a short walk right across the street, and you couldn't have more wonderful and generous hosts. Highly recommend! We are planning on returning and are recommending Gecko House to family and friends. Such a wonderful experience in a truly lovely location. Also, parking is easy and right at your door, and other Gecko House guests were great to connect with as well.

Sets the standard

The only thing inaccurate in the description is it understates how perfect this property and the hosts are. Extremely clean, unbelievably well equipped, very comfortable beds and convenient to the beach and restaurants/entertainment. The beach was as private as any along the Gulf Coast. Marti and Rod, thanks for setting the standard for a VRBO.

Fantastic place to stay

I am a mountain person, so beaches are not my usual thing. But this vacation was a great time, and the Gecko (we stayed in the 2 BR upstairs unit) is one of the main reasons. First of all, I think that the place is even better than the listing. The unit is spacious, clean, has all the amenities, allows for cooking, has a deck, and a nice swimming pool. Outside, they allow the use of some bikes, two kayaks, wagon/umbrella/chairs for the beach. It is a short walk to a dock on the bay (we fished, kayaked, and saw a couple of dolphins), and a 4-5 minute walk to the beach on the Gulf (with some shade). Honestly, the location is amazing, close to many things, but just enough away from the public beaches. If I ever come back to Manasota Key, I will be booking this place again. Great job, Marti.
