Location of this property is superb. The pictures make it look a little bigger than it is but it is a lovely place to stay. Walkable to a couple great restaurants/bars. Easy 3 minute walk to one of the best beaches in Florida. I have to say, the only criticism I have is the parking spot is a little small. Other wise an amazing 5 star stay. Would go again in a heartbeat

As expected. Very clean, but a bit of a musty smell. Would be nice if there were longer hours to use common spaces--9 pm seems more reasonable, especially in the winter. Access to the beach and beach gear were great.

Perfect location!
The location was fantastic! The beach was a quick, block and a half walk away. Beach chairs, towels, and other items were available. We loved having access to kayaks and paddling in Lemon Bay. The studio was clean and well appointed. Many starter items, a bottle of wine, and other goodies were there to welcome us. Communication was easy with the owners. The only complaint I had was that the “posh” bed was not to our liking. Please keep in mind that this is very subjective. Others may love the bed, we did not.

Affordable, Peaceful & Great Location
My husband and I needed a quick get away, we had stayed in Manasota Key in August and with it only being an hour and a half away from us it's a perfect place to go. Had great communication with the host prior to booking. The low fees are what led me to pick this place. Other listings may have said they were $10 more a night but the fees were outrageous! We loved the convenience of an easy walk to the beach. I will say I don't normally book places like this was but pleasantly surprised with the decor and the mattress was very comfortable. I definitely recommend for couples only or friends renting out multiple units because it is a tight knit of rooms. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of not hearing kids, babies or teens (sounds bad I know but we just lost our 5 month old this year hence the get away) The only thing I would say I noticed was there were multiple dehumidifier's in the room that filled up with water twice in our 2 night stay. Very humid and stagnant air when not on, however they were already aware of the issue and the dehumidifier's helped when they were working so I didn't even bring it up to the hosts. As a Floridian myself who knows this area, I know they were hit hard from hurricane Ian and still working on rebuilding the area so I assumed it's from that. Over all I would recommend as an affordable get a way!

Great stay on the key!
This is our second year going to Manasota Key, and it did not disappoint! Our location was amazing: just a minute walk across the street to the beach, and free kayak use were our two favorite perks. The property was very quiet, and our studio had everything we needed. It was very cozy, perfect for a couple or a couple of besties! I would definitely stay here again!

Perfectly located beach bungalow
Truly a beach bungalow experience and well worth it. The location is perfect--a block to the bay & a block to a beach, we walked or took our bikes everywhere and didn't move the car for 3 full days! The place is stocked with lots of considerate amenities & better than a hotel--just be prepared for some humidity in the room despite their excellent attempts to reduce it and lot of signs around with rules/regulations (but I think they need to do that because of the residential area where it's located)--really not a big deal.

What an adorable bungalow!
This property is really perfect! Wish we had longer to stay and will definitely come back! Steps to water on either side. Don’t miss the sunsets on the beach to the west. To the east, Lemon Bay is just down the road. Be sure to notice the amazing garden 2 houses down the road - clearly a labor of love! Easy access to restaurants and activities, but still super quiet - the perfect balance. The furnishings and decorations in the Bay Breeze Bungalow are very comfortable and classy. The property is top notch!

The unit was clean, and would be a great place to stay if you only used this to sleep there. The no guest policy and no outside area,s to enjoy the after sunset curfew and parking along with the to close in proximity to other units. The unit was very clean but the craftsmanship of the interior was lacking. although the location was good. Thank You

Great spot
We enjoyed our time here in town, about a 5-10 minute walk to the restaurants. We didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks but had a fun day on a boat rental. The bed is a foam mattress and very soft but that doesn’t always work for everyone. Everything we needed was in the rental. The pool was small and it was a bummer it closed at sunset but no big deal.
