I would definitely stay at The Blue Manatee again. The location was perfect and convenient to everything we wanted to see and do in Sarasota/Bradenton area. The house was well stocked with plenty of items for our stay and the communication with the hosts was excellent!

This is the perfect house to stay with friends, family, and children. House and outdoor living space is large enough that you wouldn’t feel on top of each other if traveling with several people. Very clean, excellent communication by hosts. Felt very much at home! Thank you for sharing your property for others to enjoy.

Everything about this house was perfect. I went with my husband’s family and each couple got their own room and own bathroom which was amazing. My husband and I loved sitting down in the game room to play checkers. We played for hours. The pool and hot tub were a huge plus. We laid in the pool for hours. We cannot wait to go back and will definitely be booking this house or anything through Blue Manatee. Top tier hosts!!!
