👙Bicentennial Park Pool is just 3 miles away and another great place to take the kids swimming. Swimming is allowed in the canal but it is at your own risk. Alligators can be in the canal.
⛳️ Golf course is 1 mile away.

BOATERS
Our canal can get shallow, 2' at lowest tide so pontoons, bay boats, flat bottoms are best. There are two ways in and out so we can assist you with the best direction. 20' boat in length is the max recommended for this boat slip.

🏕️Camp Manatee is equipped for both short and long stays to make your vacation one to remember!

SAFETY
Our property is located directly on a canal. The dropoff from the seawall into the canal can be as much as 6' or so. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES AND NOT LEFT OUTSIDE ALONE. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WILDLIFE COULD BE IN THE AREA AS WELL.

PESTS
Our property is treated for pests regularly. We cannot guarantee you will not see a pesky critter in the house as this is Florida!! Our home is cleaned thoroughly and treated but insect sightings can occur. Keep doors and windows closed when not in use.

CAMERAS
We do have motion sensored cameras at the front door facing street and back door facing yard. This step deters unwanted solicitation, illegal activity and helps us manage our staff. Thank you for understanding.

Perfect!
Everything about this VRBO is perfect. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a getaway is right there. The outside seating and deck along with the fire pit make for perfect evenings listening to music and enjoying the view. The water access is awesome! We brought our own paddleboards and enjoyed many hours in King’s Bay viewing the beautiful manatees!! Our host was incredibly friendly and very responsive. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

A true gem of a vacation rental!!
This place was one of the best vacation spots I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. We didn't want to leave. Every part of this place spared no detail. The host went above and beyond and we truly cannot wait to come back and visit. Do yourself a favor and stay here. We can't wait to return.
