Manasota Key Retreat with free use of bikes and paddle board

Come as you are, kick off your shoes, and immerse yourself into this tropical Paradise. A kayak and boat launch into Forked Creek is only 2 minutes down the road. Forked Creek has abundant wildlife including dolphins and manatees. Are you more of a beach enthusiast? Then pack up the cooler and beach chairs and go hunt for shells or catch some rays at the beach. Manasota Key beach is less then 2 miles away. It comes highly recommended by the locals and is a great spot for any occasion! If you would like to venture out and explore the area, there are many safe bike routes nearby. Fantastic restaurants are an easy drive and many of them are on the water. Music and nightlife entertainment are within minutes on Manasota Key or down on Dearborn St in the heart of Englewood. We are also located 10 miles from the CoolToday Park which hosts the Atlanta Braves spring training.

We enjoy offering couples and families a wonderful value added vacation and a great guest experience as well.

Loved our stay

We loved our stay and loved how close it was to beach access. Thanks for providing beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. I was relaxing on the back porch when I noticed a turtle crossing in the backyard. Guess that’s why there is a turtle crossing sign in the front window. lol. Thanks again!

Great experience!

The house is on a very quiet street. Very clean and has nice "homey" touches - ex. laundry baskets. It is very well stock will everything you'll need and a nice book has been created that let's you know everything about staying in the house and surrounding area activities. Check-in is very easy and Ron is very responsive to calls and text messages. Would definitely stay again.

Second 30-night Stay & Returning!

This year was our second, month-long stay at “Manasota Key Retreat with free use of bikes and paddle board” property and when we come back it is because of the awesome CLEANLINESS & Communications! The property manager Ron is so responsive he is more of a concierge than a mere “property manager.” The owners are accommodating, thoughtful and gracious. The close proximity to the fabulous beaches is priceless, the neighborhood is pin-drop quiet and the neighbors are all warm, friendly and wonderfully helpful! The road this property is on is positively awesome for relaxing walks with your fur family members! The owners graciousness in allowing use of the bowflex home gym (not a “toy”) in the garage saved us a fortune in time, obviating any need to spend 1/2 hour driving each way to crowded commercial gyms. Brand new hot water heater and really up-to-date (like new) appliances - property and owners are all 5-star, all the way

A clean, quiet, fresh Gem of a property!

This. Property. Is. A. Gem. Period. Full stop. First of all, “Manasota Key Retreat with free use of bikes and paddle board” RESTORED OUR FAITH IN VRBO 5-star RATINGS, with regards to cleanliness. This property checked our biggest box: it is clean, Clean, CLEAN!!!!! You are staying in someone’s home-away-from their year ‘round home. Who care about their home. It shows! Quite honestly, the owner’s care and attention made it a privilege for us to take care of the property as well as we do our own, if not better! Our small dog positively reveled in being able to sunbathe out on the screened lanai (NO worries about hawks!) and Bark Beach is close enough we were able to visit for sunsets very conveniently. Lemon Bay Preserve and Shamrock Park are also a hop, skip and small jump away. The beds are comfy, the air conditioning system superb, the kitchen had everything we needed and the neighborhood is so nice and quiet it was a real treat to be able to take a long dog walk down the wide road without having to worry about traffic. And, for our small dog, the yard is huge, by coastal property standards. Wonderfully-friendly neighbors on both sides and the owner’s property manager Ron is positively outstanding with communications. (We’ve done VRBO for awhile now and rapid communications is a big help in avoiding small issues turning into bigger ones, unnecessarily.) We are already booked for next year so, THAT should say it all! thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!

Fourth of July and birthday week vacation

We had an exceptional time at this home. After a small blunder on door codes, we checked into the home. The house is a nice setup with split floor plan. The rooms are comfortable and decorated like seaside a cottage. The lanai is roomy and the screened in area was perfect for the pups to play fetch, for steaks on the grill, and for playing bag toss. The owners exceeded my expectations by making sure the lawn got mowed after the mower was rained out the day prior to our arrival. FL daily rain makes the grass grow fast, but they made sure to accommodate for my pups. Kitchen and baths were nicely appointed and provided us with consumables plenty. We loved the house and the location was so convenient to Caspersen, Blind Pass, and Englewood beaches!!! Would definitely rent again and would recommend for families. Huge yard! Nice extras for the beach with cooler, chairs, SUP, and shark tooth strainer!! Very comfortable week, we were so grateful to spend it there!! Our daughter had a wonderful birthday and we loved the house. Great owners!

Outstanding Value, Cherished Vacation

We just returned from 2 wonderful weeks in this lovely home in Englewood Florida, and we loved every minute, from our daily visit to the lovely, family-friendly beach to paddleboarding in the creek that leads to the bay. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, and thank you for your generosity in considering every need of your guests. There was an abundance of everything you might need in the home. We also loved riding the bikes. A huge thank you for letting us bring our dog. She made some wonderful new friends in this friendly neighborhood. And lastly, a huge thank you to Ron, who answered every question, was so kind and immediately mailed me some valuables I forgot in the unit. We loved our vacation, thank you!

Home away from home.

We loved our stay in Englewood. The house was super clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you might need. The beaches were so close we often went during the day and went back for the beautiful sunsets. We were there with another couple for most of the time and there was plenty of space for all of us without being on top of one another. I would rent this property again in a minute. Unfortunately, already rented for next year. Ron, the property manager couldn't have been anymore helpful. Answered any questions immediately. Great vacation!
