We enjoyed our stay even though the weather wasn’t the greatest for the week with the tropical disturbance but we made the most of it, kids enjoyed the pool and the home was very clean.

We had a great long weekend at this house! There was plenty of space, very private but still near everything. Communication was great with the host and she was very accommodating. We would definitely book again! The beds and pillows could be updated with something a little more comfortable but that would not keep me from booking. I’d bring my own pillow next time. Thanks for a great getaway!

It’s a great house in an awesome location. The pool was very nice, also. The furniture is old and uncomfortable. This would be a five star home if the furniture was nicer. We had a few maintenance issues that Lesley took care of immediately. She was so easy to work with, as were the repairmen she sent.

Needs some TLC

The location is great for sure (0.5 miles from beach). Unfortunately we didn’t care so much about that. We had unique perspective about being close to my sister. The house and the furnishings are very worn and have the expected stains of much time and use. On the positive side again the management company is great; very responsive.

The property was just as advertised. It felt secluded and yet close to Manasota Key and Venice. The pool was lovely and the piano was a nice treat.

My family had a wonderful time!! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Check in was super easy. My kids loved the pool!! It’s about half mile walk to the beach but we just drove the minute it took to get there. We love Manasota beach. We have been coming to this area for 15 years now.

Great for families

The house is a few minutes drive or walk from the beach. Great for a beach day or evening sunset. Kids were in the pool every evening after the beach. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. There was plenty of room for us all and we are already talking about coming back next year.

Relaxing Stay off the Beaten Path!

Our family loved our week in this relaxing stay off of the beaten path! If there were a "rural" coastal Florida - this felt like we were the only people around, even though we were in a neighborhood! Nestled in a beautiful jungle of palms, our kids really enjoyed the pool, playing UNO outside during afternoon rainstorms, and packing up to go for a quick ride to the beach. We went down to Blind Pass for a sunset one evening and caught one of our Creator's most amazing paintings of the sky. It was jaw-dropping phenomenal. The beach supplies (buckets, shovels, shark teeth shovels, and chairs were a major help - I wish they would have been listed on the property listing!) We enjoyed shelling at Venice and Manasota Key - went to Casperson one evening but the red tide was in, and it was awful. Luckily, the fish was fresh and the drinks were cold at Sharkeys on the Pier that evening :) Overall great place to stay!

Loved it!

Everything was great! It’s very spacious and was clean. I took my family of 8 and everyone had their own area. The outside pool area was awesome. Having a large fan over the outside table was amazing especially in the hot summer nights. The only 2 cons I have is the bed were a little hard and the street is gravel with a lot is holes(not remotely the owners fault) but keeping your car clean won’t happen.

Awesome place for my family

Great place, yes it’s a bit dated but it was perfect setup for our family and extremely well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and even beach accessories. We were able to communicate with the property manager with ease and she was always quick to respond and very helpful and friendly. Definitely would stay here again if we return to the same are!

Overall the house is spacious and comfortable.

We mostly enjoyed our stay here. After a couple of days of rain the pool turned green and we didn't get in. No one came and cleaned it while we were there. Also we could not find any silverware because it was in the dishwasher dirty. When we finally realized it we had already bought plastic silverware to use. It does say a walk to the beach and you can walk it, but it is not a short walk. Do not rent this house expecting to walk to the beach with your family and toys in tow.... but it's only about a 4 minute drive. Beds were ok. Nothing spectacular. Over all the house was decent for it's the price.

Property needs TLC but has great potential.

Property managers were awesome responded to concerns quickly. Property needs some TLC. This could be a 5 star property with a little attention to simple cosmetics needs of the property, cleanliness being the first.

A Great Family Stay

We were 2 grandparents, a mom and a 12 and 14 year old. The house accommodated us all in a lovely way-- it is light, comfortable and spacious enough for each person to find their own nook-- and the pool is wonderful-- large enough for Marco Polo-- and the kids were in it for hours. The house is only a half-mile from the Manasota Beach-- an easy walk or quick drive-- and we found plenty of shark's teeth there! We were within 15 to 20 minutes of either Venice or Englewood, both of whom had farmer's markets, shopping and restaurants. And we took a day trips up to Siesta Key and St Armand's Circle. All told, this was a great, quiet, well-appointed place for our family to stay and we recommend it highly.

Awesome Vacay

What a place! The pool was wonderful...clean and cool. The home was huge...plenty of room and then some. I loved the area...literally 2 minutes to the beach! We found cool shells and some shark teeth. There were several great places to eat. We love to BBQ and did so 4 nights. I would suggest a new grill though. It smoked alot and the heating coils are almost disintegrated-had to really make sure food was cooked. Other than that...awesome, awesome trip. Thank you so much for sharing your home!! 😊 The Days.
