This house had everything you could possibly need to enjoy time near the beach or on the water. The rooms were very clean, kitchen well stocked, hot tub super enjoyable! The best part: Location location location!! We were in town to fish and got to the marina in 15 minutes, super easy. On days off from our charters, we enjoyed the kayaks and dock. Very close to the local tiki bar restaurants and we liked Stumpy’s Free Ride! We’ll be back!!!

House was as described, if you’re looking to be on the bay, great house and screened in porch is a must during summer! The only issue we had was using the private beach, we were there maybe 15 mins just walking around checking out beach and the staff at the island beach house weren’t very nice and harnessed us about the private beach asWeWere Leaving stating we could use walk way but had to go down to public beach. Owner was quick to respond when we informed them. Better off to drive to public beach or stump pass both aren’t bad drives. Overall great area and house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Manasota Beach. The house was perfect. Clean upon arrival, comfortable beds, private setting. Enjoyed sunrises from our deck and sunsets every evening at the beach. The hot tub was an added bonus during the cooler November evenings. Our host was quick to reply and happy to help in any way. A truly lovely stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Bayfront home on beautiful Manasota Key. The views of Lemon Bay from both the house and the dock were amazing—photos do not do them justice. We are amateur birders and were lucky to see eagles, various herons, shorebirds, egrets, and more. We even saw a dolphin swim right by us!The sunrises were incredible, and it was just a short walk across the street to the beach for sunset. The host was extremely helpful and responsive, and gave great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The home was spotless and very welcoming. Overall, we highly recommend Bayfront.

Relaxing fun stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was clean, very well equipped with a lot of extras. We enjoyed the peacefulness of just sitting on the dock and the ease of walking across the street to the beach. The area is slowly opening back up since the hurricanes, but we found plenty of local restaurants and parks to visit.

This house is absolutely beautiful from the amenities to the views. It had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Our host was very attentive to all our needs and answered all inquiries in a very timely and courteous manner…We fished from the dock and walked across the road to watch spectacular sunsets each evening. While it doesn’t have a pool we had a lot of fun kayaking on the bay or just relaxing on the dock or in the hot tub.. We will definitely be back

We booked this property for the location and views and we were not disappointed! Most windows have water views in the home. We loved the dock and caught some sheepshead within a few feet of the dock. The beach walk is only a couple minutes and the beach was perfect. We prefer bayside properties and this one is like having your own nature sanctuary out your back door. We had temperatures in the 30s/40s with strong winds but the hot tub on the deck enabled us to still enjoy the view and outside. The house is well stocked and the host was great.

The house is at a great location on the water with a dock and a very short walk to the gulf/ocean. The hosts were great with communication and meeting our requests. The house was clean and fit our needs to fish, kayak, paddle board, hang at the beach, cook for two families, etc. would definitely stay there again!

DON’T HESITATE! Impeccably clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and the perfect location with the Bay in your backyard and the beach across the street…LOVE LOVE LOVE! It’s everything you hope for when you rent.We grabbed our coffee and enjoyed front row seats to the most beautiful sunrises right from the dock (we may or may not have found ourselves going from coffee straight into fishing-in our pajamas). The manager/owners were very welcoming and happy to answer questions. They really want your stay to be wonderful. We took their recommendations for dinner and breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Plenty of space in this house on the bay side. Enjoyed all of the amenities and the host was responsive and easy to connect with. The house came stocked with everything that we needed (coffee is a must and was included in our stay). The private beach access was right across the street and an easy walk. There was a little bit of a challenge with beach access on one day (the property manager across the street was confused about the access) but nothing that hampered our stay and the owner readily assured us that we had access and provided contact information just in case we had any more issues- which we didn't. We collected plenty of shells and shark teeth at the beach too! My husband enjoyed the kayaks and the many visits by a certain dolphin that begged for the fish he caught. We also saw manatees, iguanas, and other wildlife from the peaceful back porch and dock.

We had an incredible time during our stay. The home is stunning and the location is unbeatable. We were at the beach in 3 minutes. The place was spotless, spacious, and decorated with class. So much thought has clearly gone into making the space inviting and comfortable too. Can’t say enough about the owner’s attentiveness and thoughtfulness. Thanks to her suggestion, we got up to see the sunrise and ended up meeting a manatee by the dock. My family and I visit Manasota Key once or twice a year. This has been our favorite property and we are looking forward to going back.
