We absolutely loved our 7 day stay in this beautiful duplex! Decorating is gorgeous, bed delightful and the short walk to beach every morning was priceless. The kitchen was superbly stocked as was the entire unit. The owner/manager has thought of everything! The unit was immaculate, in fact it may be the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in over many years. We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks, and the lovely patio.Thank you for such a delightful stay.

If you are looking for a quaint getaway in a quiet part of Manasota key, this is it. While you are close enough walk or bike to the beach and all the restaurant/bars, it’s just far enough away from all the congestion. The cottage was beautifully decorated, clean & updated. Truly a great host, they were responsive and provided more items to use than any other VRBO we’ve stayed at!

This was a great stay. It was very clean and seemed like a brand new renovation. They provide plenty to do from two bicycles for cruising, a few kayaks and indoor games. The kitchen was stocked if you chose to stay in and cook. Lastly, the hosts were great to work with. We will stay again.
