Lovely area, lovely property

We decided on Manasota Key because we were told it was quaint, laid back, peaceful, and has that “old” Florida vibe. It was all that and more. The beach at Stump Pass was heaven. Looking forward to a future stay.

Great location

This place was adorable! The property is small but very well organized and close to everything. I was originally a little concerned about the walk to the beach Based on viewing the map but it took less than three minutes to get there and the walk is super easy. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and living space worked great for our group of 2 adults and 2 teens. We would definitely consider staying here again!!

Wonderful Beach Vacation Spot!

We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute! We walked the short distance to the beach access area daily and relaxed on the beach while the kids played in the surf, found sharks teeth, shells, and then had a comfy and very clean place to return to at the end of the day. The cottage was updated and has been newly renovated. Everything was beautiful and clean, and it had everything we needed for a great trip. We will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful Location

We had a great time at this property. They provided nearly everything you need for a beach trip, which was a short walk. We loved Stump Pass Park Beach, it was beautiful there. Grocery store was a short drive from beach road which was also convienent. We enjoyed grilling out with our family members in the nice backyard area. Being able to do laundry was also nice after many trips to the beach.

Great Cottage!

The cottage was as promised and more! The property is lovely and has everything you need. The location is easy to find, but the walk to the beach may be too much for people with mobility issues. All the amenities you need are there, and they leave you a little welcome package for your arrival with some snacks. Manasota key is delightful and this cottage fits right in!
