For the cost, we expected this to be more of a 4 or 5 star experience. I had some issues that I attempted to address with the property manager privately on check-out day like: getting a call at the time of check-in informing us the electronic door lock was broken to the front door, the toilet and sink were leaking in the middle of the night in the only restroom, and there was dog hair present. But the property manager only addressed the leaking toilet and sink, without any apology, no making it right, and accusing me of going against VRBO policies. As I told the property manager, I would expect (as I’m sure future guests would as well), that everything is working and cleanly as listed. Unfortunately that was not the case for us on our visit.

Very nice easy beach access private beach is nice we went to find sharks teeth and found near 100 I would recommend.

We had a great time. The place was very clean , the property was also very clean. Everything was convenient and easy to find . The beach was nice and accessible!! Thank you for making our stay a pleasant stay and we will be back!’ Mike and Denise Foster

Super clean and well maintained property. Property manager was very friendly. Easy, quick access to the beach. We had a great time. Hope to come again to Starfish Stays!

Had all the things you needed for an enjoyable day at the beach. Just a little walk for a private beach area. We enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed ourselves and only wish we had booked a longer stay. The place was very well located and close to public beaches and restaurants and retail shops. There were all kinds of floats and boogie board, fishing rod, and beach chairs available to use. My only critique is the need for more pillow options, otherwise, everything was fantastic. The beaches here look like you are in the Bahamas with the beautiful green water!!

Great location and cute place

Great location and cute place

What a great place! Less than 5 minute walk across the street to quiet beach away from the larger crowds down by public beach. Very clean property. Older but recently redone nicely and tastefully. Owners are great and very available when needed. Plenty to do close by. We plan to go back again one day!

Wonderful little beach apartment-had everything we needed, including beach chairs, umbrella & toys. Nothing fancy, but clean, neat and plenty of kitchenware so we could cook there (it did take us a day before we figured out the dish soap was in the dispenser attached to the sink!). Lovely, quiet beach is just across the road, easy walk. The property is right on a somewhat busy road, just to take into account if you have kids. We took advantage of the grill for a few meals & the kids loved the bright lights on the palm trees at night. Many sea turtle nests seen, shark teeth collected & waves splashed in! Looking forward to another visit to Manasota Key in the future!

The room was exactly as described. It was clean and had everything we needed for our trip. They even had outside showers for when we came back from the beach, pool toys, beach chairs, cornhole boards, and games for the kids. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. They were really quick to respond to any questions I had and they were great with the kids too. :) I will definitely be back!!

We enjoyed our stay here. The place was cute, clean, quite and had everything we needed. Games, beach chairs, towels and toys for the beach. Just across the street from the beach a 2 minute walk. Scott was a great host and answered any questions we had. We hope to visit again soon!

We had a wonderful time; beach and stores were close. Our host helped us enter and was available to answer questions. The apartment was perfect for 3 people and a lovely space to hang out.

Big place, close to beach. Owner was very helpful. Highly recommend it

Good location to enjoy the sight of nature and dog walkers while sipping coffee on the deck. The beach is just a quick drive away either direction where we spent most of our time. Owners were quick to respond with any questions. Thank you for such a great experience!

We spent a week at this property. It worked very well for the 2 of us. It was nicely equipped with everything we needed. We had a lot of questions for the owners. They responded immediately and never made us feel like we were bugging them. Scot and Paula were very generous in accommodating a special request - having a few of our parents' friends for dinner (all octogenarians) because the owner of the unit they were staying in considered it a party and wouldn't allow it. The only reason I rated the location 4 stars is because the unit is right on the main street, but that's a lot of Manasota Key.

Beautiful fun filled weekend at a great property !

This condo was beautiful and in a very peaceful setting. I was looking for a place to escape to for my first wedding anniversary since my husband died, and this spot was amazing. Particulars to help you decide to rent this location: * Kitchen is fully stocked with plates, silverware, pots, skillets, bowls, cups, mugs, serving utensils, spices, a Keurig, a teapot, a full size refrigerator with a freezer drawer, an oven, and a microwave. *Dining room has a table with four chairs. It is a glass top table with placemats and cloth napkins. *Living room has a sofa and a love seat and large screen TV mounted on the wall. There is a Monopoly, Jenga, Taboo game and two decks of cards. The TV has cable. *Both bedrooms have a comfortable bed with quality sheets. Each bedroom have tile floors, a large closet (bring your own coat hangers, there were only a couple in the house), and extra pillows. There is also a full size dresser in each bedroom. *The bathroom has a tub and shower with a frosted glass window. *There is a linen closet right outside the bathroom with towels, handtowels, wash clothes, beach towels, sheets, extra duvet covers. The towels are the most amazingly soft towels I've ever used (I actually came home and bought some for my home). *Additionally, this unit is on the second level, which is not easy to ascertain from the unit description (but it's completely okay, just something to be aware of if you have mobility issues). You can bring animals, which was wonderful. There are several access points to the beach (both public and private) within easy walking distance. The closest point is about a 3 city block walk. The beaches are great to pick up shark teeth and beautiful shells. *The owner of the property was wonderful. The response time to any message was never more than 30 minutes. And the information provided was thorough, but more importantly, I was never made to feel like I was bothering them. To sum it all up, this property is amazing. You cannot go wrong staying here. I have never been so pleased to leave a review as I am to leave this one.
