Clean, Spacious, and Well Stocked

Our family had a really lovely stay here. Just steps away from the beach, and a very short drive to restaurants and groceries. Checking in and out was extremely easy, and communication was excellent from management. Lots of convenient items to use/borrow like beach chairs, coolers, sand toys, and a long handled shell scoop. Nice quiet neighborhood, ice cold A/C, well appointed kitchen, and a screened in porch. Loved it and will be back!

Stay at Mojito

We enjoyed our first stay on Manasota Key. The area is beautiful and quaint. The cottage was adorable and perfect for what we needed. Loved the close proximity to the ocean and the beach chairs and cooler offered for use. Easy check-in and checkout process. Appreciate the cottage being stocked, especially the coffee and toiletries.
