Great Stay!

I stayed at Manatee Lookout with three of my friends in October 2025. We absolutely loved the island as we had never been. I am so glad I had picked this location as we loved how it was quiet but we could still walk to Pine Street. The beach was less than five minutes, and the house was on a canal where we saw manatees. The house was perfect for four people. We will definitely go back and I would love to stay in this house again.

This was a great property for our family. The location is awesome,with a short walk to Bean Point beach and not having to struggle to find a parking place near the beach. The pool was a nice respite around 3pm, when the corner of the pool started to get afternoon shade. Pine Street also very close, making the morning coffee run to North Shore Cafe easy. True to it's name, we did see manatees right off the little dock that overlooks the canal.

Our second time at Manatee Lookout

We LOVED staying at Manatee Lookout again this year, when we visited our daughter for Parents' Weekend. It is the perfect house -- quick walk to the beach, lovely pool, manatees to watch every morning from the rocking chairs on the canal. Quiet, peaceful property, well maintained and well located for both easy access to shops and restaurants and a homey stay.

Memorable Holiday!

Seabreeze vacations enabled my family and I to have a most enjoyable, memorable and relaxing holiday. The property was perfect for us, including our twin seven year old boys. We even heard the manatee off the private dock one evening, splashing in the water! We would love to return one day.

Manatees, Comfortable beds and dinners by the patio!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The highlight of our trip was to be able to walk to the back of the property and look for Manatees off the dock. We had a family of 6 staying with plenty of room, plenty of linen, and amenities. The beds were comfortable and we loved that every bedroom had their own bathroom attached. Dinner on the Patio every night was enjoyable and the walk to the beach was super quick and easy to catch those sunsets.

The property is cute and in a very quiet neighborhood with a lovely view of a canal in the back. Three bedrooms and bathrooms. The few maintenance issues we had were fixed promptly. Would recommend.

The location was great. The primary bedroom was very warm and didn’t cool down like the other rooms. Many outlets didn’t work inside or outside. We had to run the golf cart extension cord into the house one night. The bottom step on the outside stairs needs to be replaced. The house was nice, we had everything we needed.

Manatee Lookout location was perfect, water access for fishing and kayaking, close to all the action of Pine St. A few blocks to the best beach on AMI. If you can get this property, do it. The communications and customer service was the best we have experienced in AMI. We will be coming back!

Quaint, quiet and exactly what we needed!

We stayed at Manatee Lookout for a long weekend in October. It was the perfect getaway for us to spend time with our daughter who is in Sarasota for school. We were all able to relax and spend quiet time together. The property is lovely--we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, swimming in the pool and watching for manatees from the dock (yes! we saw several!). The beaches are a short walk and we practically had the place to ourselves. The island is quaint, quiet and exactly what we needed!

Great location and accommodations

Rental Company: Simple booking, check-in/check-out process, responsive when we had an AC issues in the home. Pricing was cheaper than other comparable properties. House: Manatees off the dock everyday. Dock is a bit tricky for young anglers to fish on the canal. Pool was fantastic with sunbathing ledge. Beach chairs, buggy, umbrella, sand toys, and some rafts provided. Location super close to Bean Point, Pine, and Rod & Reel Pier. Beds comfortable, Kitchen stocked with everything we needed.

We will be back!

We had a wonderful vacation at the manatee lookout! We shared the house with another family, 4 adults and 3 kids total and was the perfect size. The location was super convenient to beach access and pine street. We rented a golf cart which got us around the island all week. There were quite a few ants in the house and upstairs air seemed to work but not blow cool. We never contacted maintenance. The staff was kind and was able to get us in before checkout time. Highly recommend and will be back
