About this property

2 Min Drive to Manasota Beach…The Hibiscus House

The Hibiscus House is conveniently located less than a mile from Manasota Beach on a quiet little street and is surrounded by beautiful tropical plants and trees. The interior is mostly remodeled and is the perfect spot for a family or couples’ get-away, or for a remote worker desiring a change of scenery/ warm weather.

Manasota Beach is beautiful with the crystal clear blue waters much of the year that the area is known for. The water tends to be calm, making it great for children to play (plus there are lifeguards). Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins (manatees and turtles can also be spotted!). Parking and restrooms are available at no cost. Have fun hunting for shark’s teeth (we provide a sand rake and screen to help with your hunt!); also provided are beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards , sand toys, cooler, and a cart to roll it all out to the beach! Just bring yourself, your suit and your sunscreen.

After a day of fun, come back to the Hibiscus House and enjoy the newest addition - an OUTDOOR SHOWER! Inside, the ensuite shower has a window that looks out at the tropical plants in the backyard. There is a tub/shower in the other bathroom.

The open floor plan has the sitting area, dining area, and kitchen all in one space, so if you decide to cook, you won’t be removed from the fun. The kitchen is well equipped with everything from a blender and mixer to kids’ plastic dishes, and wine glasses. Outside you’ll find a gas grill.

Grab the rolling cooler we provide and take some wine and cheese and beach chairs back to the beach to catch a sunset - it’s a different show every night! Some of the locals like to come out wakeboarding many nights, which is fun to watch too!

When you’re ready to wind down back at the house, be sure to enjoy some time outside by the fire pit, where colorful Adirondack chairs sit in a circle, ready for catching up and bonding. We provide a propane tank upon arrival (additional tanks are $30 each). If you prefer to spend time inside, you’ll find puzzles, cards and games, as well as a Smart TV where you have Peacock Premium TV, and can also log into your Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu account. Hop on the lightning fast WiFi and share on social media what a fun time you’re having in SW Florida at the Hibiscus House.

When it’s time for bed, shut the room darkening curtains that each room is equipped with and enjoy a good night’s sleep. When you wake up, grab a cup of coffee from the coffee maker or Keurig and get excited for another day of coastal living!

A memorable stay ...
My wife and I spent two wonderful months at the Hibiscus House in the Spring of 2024. Upon arrival, it was immediately evident that this is a special place. So special, in fact, that within a week we had already booked it for another two months the following year. Everything was exactly as pictured in the listing, immaculately clean and well stocked for all of our needs. The beds were comfortable, the afternoon sun on the patio was just right, the screened-in lanai was our daily hang-out spot, and the outdoor shower put this property off the charts for us. The location is fantastic; close to the beach and away from the busy roads of Venice and Englewood, yet near enough to those towns that shopping and entertainment is easily within reach. We drove to the beach, we walked to the beach, we rode our bikes to the beach; it was so easy to get to for a day in the sun and surf or an evening with another fabulous sunset. The landlords were instantly accessible when we needed to contact them, and were particularly friendly when we needed any assistance. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to spend some quality time in the Florida warmth.

Wonderful property
We stayed at the Hibiscus House for a month and had a great time. The house was immaculate, roomy and comfortable with an open floor plan and everything you could need. The outdoor space is lovely and the neighborhood is very quiet, yet close to the beach. Mary was very accessible if we had any questions and she and Shaun went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We highly recommend Hibiscus House, and we will be back again next year!

Manasota Beach Getaway
Great location and amenities that were listed in home's description. Some issues that host resolved quickly. I did have to clean a few areas both inside and out, but I am a clean freak, so take that as you will. I have stayed in many vacation rentals, and from my experience, I would have to give this a solid 4/5 stars.
