The amenities were some of the best we have ever experienced. A remarkable refurbishment after hurricane Milton. The finishes were in line with those of when hiring a top tier contractor. The little things such as USB A & C charging ports in select wall outlets. The screened porch was a favorite location to have meals and relax between adventures. Great proximity for walking to Stump Pass State Park where we launched kayaks and watched the sunsets.

What a beautiful cottage, so comfy, fresh, up to date and well appointed, and the host was fabulous. Our son and his family enjoyed staying here. It is truly minutes from the beach (our 3 yo granddaughter had no problem walking to it), plus they were able to enjoy all that Manasota Key has to offer. The screened lanai was so large and comfortable plus there was everything a young family would need to enjoy a day at the beach. There will definitely be repeat visits!

We had an incredible stay at the oyster catcher. All of the beach supplies made our travel from Texas that much easier. We use the bikes and kayaks daily. The house was beautiful and clean, and we really appreciated the welcome basket of goodies. Jen was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay there longer!

A Perfect Stay - Beyond Expectations

This property truly exceeded all expectations! The house was spotless and beautifully decorated, with all the conveniences you could need. Thoughtful touches, like snacks and a bottle of wine, made us feel incredibly welcome. We loved the outdoor space and screened-in patio, perfect for relaxing. Great location —within easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants, yet peaceful and quiet. The hosts were exceptional, with excellent communication and an impressive renovation after the 2024 hurricane damage. They didn’t miss a single detail. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Beach House with many extras!

We loved this beach house and can't wait to return. We flew to Florida with minimal items to avoid extra luggage costs and they had thought of everything you would need for a great time enjoying the ocean - coolers, sand toys, beach cart, umbrellas, etc. My favorite were the bikes and kayaks though!

Oyster Catcher at Shorebird is a must stay! From The second we arrived, everything was 5 star! So many amenities and well thought out information. Bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, games… never needed anything in addition to what was provided. We appreciated the snacks, bottle of wine, stocked supplies - even down to sunscreen. Our girls trip to Manasota Key was just what we needed. We loved the enclosed porch and the privacy that the cottages offered. We will for sure be back! Our first (and not last) stay was amazing! Thank you for your attention to detail to make guests feel so special and welcomed!

Just Perfect

This property set the tone of our spring break vacation. It was a girls trip/spring break for my high school senior and her BF. I invited a long time girlfriend. The cottage was well decorated, simple but perfect in it's space. We spent most of our time outside on our screened in porch and around the fire pit. What really put it over the top for us was the beach amenities, ie: beach chairs, cart, kayaks, beach toys etc. Everything was quality and well taken care of. Location was great!... Situated between Stump Pass Park (which is a must!) and the restaurant/bars. Easy walks to the beach. We would definitely stay there again. I wouldn't even look for another property. BTW - it was our first time on Manisota Key and we loved it!
