So Much More

Our weekend beach stay at Pina Colada was beyond delightful. A beautifully set table and more beds than we expected greeted us. The beach chairs and umbrella were not mentioned, but very much appreciated. Seeing all the people on the beach for the sunset was all you need to know about the community. Definitely will visit again.

A fabulous trip!

This is the second time my friends and I have stayed in these properties, and it does not disappoint! Right across the street from the beach, and with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Super comfy beds, and plenty of privacy. When I had a question about parking, it was answered very quickly (and was already answered if I would have read my welcoming email better!). My friend group is already making plans to come here again!

Manasota key stay

The property was absolutely perfect for our trip. We were in town for a two day tarpon fishing trip down road in Boca Grande. Little house with 3 bedrooms located almost in the middle of island between beach and bay. 2 min walk to each. Very clean , and comfy. Parking was tight but no big deal. Highly recommend if you need an affordable place and you don’t have to be on beach or bay front.

Beautiful Quiet Beach Cottage

This cottage was super cute and quiet. A decorator clearly had a hand in every inch of the place. This rental is professionally run with tons of little extras that make life so much easier when you're traveling like tons of ice in the freezer, a bottle of wine, specialty coffee pods and teas, and an assortment of sundries. This wasn't an issue for us, but the one bathroom is a jack and jill style between the master and second bedroom. So the only access for those in the third bedroom is through either the Master or second bedroom. Could be awkward depending on who you're traveling with. Small sacrifice for the location. The beach is a pleasant short walk. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent location and property-5 STARS!!!

This listing was absolutely 5 star rating. Not only did it have everything available, complimentary host items, plentiful towels, various dinnerware and cooking utensils. Everything was clean, updated and absolutely within either walking distance to the beach or close driving distance to restaurants and grocery. Needed one item and the response time was above average! She had the item to us within the hour. EXCELLENT!!! Will stay again!

Perfect spot

Came to Manasota Key for my 60th birthday. Casa Pina Colada was a quaint space for my husband, sister and nephew. Two minute walk to the beach. It rained over the weekend, so we used the heated spa/pool and took a drive to the Red Barn Flea Market. We really appreciated the guide book and daily texts with what to do in the area. We will be back

Christmas on Manesota Key

Great little place for holiday vacation:) The location was really perfect….. this house was a block from the beach ( perfect for coming back and forth for snack/bathroom breaks), and a very short car ride(several blocks) from awesome restaurants/main section of the beach ( with beach yoga/public changing rooms&bathrooms). The house was clean and well equipped with kitchen/bathroom/laundry equipment/sundries ….everything needed to get you started for your vacation. The host and property manager were very friendly and very responsive to any questions. We also really loved how close we were to so many other beaches on the coast perfect for shell/shark teeth hunting…. And boy did we find a lot🐚🐚🐚‼️

Great neighborhood nice sunsets

The four of us girls had a fantastic time… we watched the sunset every night and we were able to catch two sunrises and we went on a dolphin cruise with Captain Travis that was very lovely and very inexpensive. $25 a person. We saw bald eagles, 10 different kinds of birds, dolphins, black dolphins and gray dolphins. We use stumpy taxi to take us down to the sandbar one evening and had a great time. The taxi service is phenomenal you just give him a tip. He doesn’t charge anything it’s a golf cart ride and it’s just phenomenal was very nice of Greg to offer that service. It was a little chilly the last two days of our stay so we didn’t get to use the pool much. We did use it once and that was nice. Nice little area we shopped at some local shops and just really overall had a great time nice little villa we’ll be back again thank you so much for the conveniences that you offered.

Getaway to look for sharks teeth

We loved the area of the house, very quiet and relaxing. The pool is small but nice and quiet. We were within driving distance of all the surrounding beaches and shops. You are not within walking distance of Blind Pass beach where all the sharks teeth are, but only about 15 minutes. We will stay here again. The contact person was very helpful and kind.

About the host

Hosted by Amy

Host profile image
My husband Frank's and my favorite memories growing up are of family vacations to Florida's spectacular beaches to visit grandparents. Ironically, we first met each other on one such Florida vacation visiting relatives after college - introduced by grandparents. Frank grew up with fun-filled, memorable annual trips to Manasota Key. I knew how much he loved it so we spent years searching for the perfect location on the key so our kids and guests could be close to our great beach and so much to do. It is also the perfect spot to just kick back and do nothing but watch the waves roll in. We designed the cottages of blue starfish beach resort to offer guests everything our own family would want in a beach escape and then some. We treat our guests like family and are proud to say we have numerous repeat guests to make blue starfish an annual tradition.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, LOCATION! Not to mention all new furnishings & updated interior done by our very talented interior designer with numerous FREE amenities!
Steps to stunning beach, serene Lemon Bay, magical Stump Pass State Beach Park & walkable to fun nightlife at Sandbar restaurant and tiki bar & the extremely popular free yoga classes on the beach. In searching for this property, we noticed a number of area beaches 'disappeared in high tide' so we were thrilled to find a prime spot on the key with plentiful sand at all times that never gets crowded because only vacationers & residents can park here. We also love that our beach is one of the best places on earth to find the pre-historic sharks teeth the area is famous for! The ultimate free souvenir!! Our kids have found tons of these thousand year old treasures.

What makes this property unique

Our talented interior designer has worked her magic to create super cute beach cottages mixing nostalgic touches with modern conveniences and a relaxed island vibe just steps to the captivating waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As owners, we are obsessed with constantly improving the vacation experience. We are lucky to enjoy a steady stream of low-key, friendly guests who share our love for this best kept secret in vacation destinations. blue starfish resort is sure to please all ages & take us back to a simpler time of hunting for pre-historic sharks teeth, pretty seashells and jumping waves then returning to our appealing beach cottage with all the comforts of home. We are fortunate to be neighbors of the #1 ranked local attraction - Stump Pass State Beach Park & its acres of unspoiled, pristine shoreline & hiking trails. As parents, we know how important it is to offer kid fun features - beach toy sets to build amazing sand castles, outdoor Ping-Pong onsite for fun after beach time plus books, board games & all free premium channels on our new high definition flatscreen TVs. Adults can enjoy tropical cocktails at our self-serve & casual meals at our alfresco dining tables. * Attractive new heated, courtyard swimming pool with massage therapy jets & stunning glass-tile waterfall in common patio area - enjoy! Lots of relaxing seating options for each place.
Try blue starfish once and we think you'll be back for many more years for another dose of our unique island charm & warm hospitality.
