Pat was honest and handled our situation well!
So it was immediately after Hurricane Helene. Pat kept us updated as we were on the road to the property. The day before we were to arrive Pat called and said option A was out and option B would have too much water. So she refunded all our money including the VRBO fee. Excellent and honest host.

Great location
Great location. Was clean and comfortable. The only recommendation for improvement would be to get some new pillows. They were very worn and flat. Also, blackout curtains in the bedroom would be wonderful as the red safety-porch lighting wasn’t blocked by the blinds. Definitely a great value though.

We had a great time - the location, right on the gulf and a short walk in HOA property across the street to lemon bay, was excellent The condo had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable, and was a nice quiet place to enjoy our stay. We hope to return at some point.

Right on the beach!!
You can’t get any closer to the beach!! Very clean and updated. Lots of beach gear to use. Kitchen had everything you need to cook. Bed was comfortable. The only problems we had was the red outdoor light shining in the bedroom window. There is a window blind but a curtain would do the trick. You can hear the people walking around upstairs so you won’t need an alarm clock. The bathroom could use an exhaust fan as it gets very humid and steamy in there when taking a shower. Still had a wonderful stay!!!

Beach get away!!!!
The beach house was spotless and set up nicely, and we loved our stay. The only thing I can think of is there was no extra bedding in the closet, as it was stated the description but overall, I would recommend this beach house and will definitely be staying in it again. Absolutely amazing very nice place to stay right on the beach!!!!!

Relaxing get-away
My husband and I have stayed at a dozen or more VRBOs across the state of Florida. Our most recent stay was probably one of our most favorite to date! The private beach access was perfect, and the beach was beautiful. The condo was clean, neat, tidy, and had all of the amenities one could ask for. Access to the condo was easy, and the owners were quick to respond with questions.

Perfect little slice of Paradise
The unit we stayed in set the tone as soon as you walked onto the front porch for a relaxing beach vacation. The inside was exceptionally cleam and decorated with the ocean vibe. Just perfect! And being right on the beach is great too! We will definitely be back!

2024 Florida vacation
Original description made it sound like the pool was in close proximity to the unit along with being able to watch the sunrise. Not so. While the walk and crossing the street to get to the pool was not a huge distance, it was further than we wanted to walk. The Gulf was beautiful, the sand was HOT and rough walking on it barefoot. All in all we had a wonderful time. Weather cooperated and we returned home to a 25° temperature difference. We are already talking about next year.

Nice, affordable little place with a great location
I have family that lives in Englewood, FL and love to visit the area, but my husband and I really wanted to be right on the beach for this trip to maximize our time there. This rental fit our needs of being right on the beach, affordable, and having access to a pool. The condo is a comfortable size for a couple and was clean upon arrival. As others have stated, the sea grapes in front of the condo block out the view of the ocean, although the beach is only steps away and the sea grapes do create some privacy. The pool was easy to find, clean, quiet, and a nice size and temperature. Would stay here again. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful spot on the beach
Super location! Updated kitchen and bathroom. Clean and well maintained. Great for 2. Reasonably priced too. I do wish the plants in front could be trimmed as there really is no view of the ocean from inside or on the front porch.

We had a great week on Manasota Key!! Accommodations were great!! We had everything we needed at this place. Spent all our time outdoors enjoying the beach and the water. Only wished we could have enjoyed seeing the beach while we drank our coffee on the porch. Everything else was great and would highly recommend this property.

WHAT A GREAT SPOT!
I booked this last minute as an add on to visiting friends near Naples because I wanted to check out the Englewood area which I had not been to in many years. I could not be more pleased with both the accommodations and the area! This unit has been nicely updated and is very well maintained, clean and comfortable. It has everything you need to stay in and cook if you want and is just a short walk to a convenience store, a great seafood market and several good restaurants if you want to go out. Manasota Key is still like old Florida (thank goodness!) and is just beautiful with a very nice walkable beach and other nice beaches and parks a short drive away. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive to any questions during my stay. I would certainly not hesitate to return to this property and can highly recommend it to others, although I'd prefer to keep it a secret :)

Great place! Great beach location!
Great place! Great beach location! Short 10-15 minute walk to several resturants. Perfect size for my husband and I. House was decently equiped-appreciated the pay-it-forward philosphy of the guests. Visiting at the end of December the weather was pretty windy coming off the Gulf. The mangrove bushes shielded the wind creating a comfortable paito for lunch and sunning. Even had a turtle scuttle across the patio area one day. Would not hesitate staying here again if in the area.
