Property was very clean and welcoming. Lots of extras that we were not expecting (boogy boards, beach chairs, sifters, umbrella). The beach is just a short walk away from the property. Kitchen stocked nicely and beds were super comfortable! Property owner was very responsive when I had questions. Will definitely be staying again.

The unit was very clean and pictures were accurate. Had some beach supplies which helped chairs etc. only down side was the stairs to the beach I am not sure if a section of the stairs was missing but the bottom few steps were not there making it a 3’ drop into the water. Did not work well for someone who couldn’t jump down or climb up which was our case. We went a short distance to Middle beach which is nice but very crowded for the Memorial Day holiday. We did find an access a little further down one of the other renters told us about and used that on the other day and that worked perfectly. Overall great stay and would recommend just beware of beach situation.

We chose this rental because it was advertised as being 250 steps to a private beach. The property itself was clean, keyless entry was awesome and it was well equipped. There was only one problem. We weren’t able to find the beach access. We contacted the owner, they told us we needed to walk down the road until we came to a blue building on the right and a stockade fence on the left. We should follow the fence down to the beach. This walk was approximately 1/2 mile. No 250 steps! We then learned that there was an access code to get to the beach right across the street. This was never disclosed to us when we rented. Upon request, the owner gave us the code and said that it shouldn’t be too bad during low tide. We went to check our access only to discover there was caution tape across the top of the steps going down and no beach. Needless to say, we tried to make the most of the situation and walked our 1/2 mile to the beach. On one of our last days as we were walking home from the beach a woman approached us in her vehicle and accused us of trespassing on private property. I tried to explain that we were renters and this is where we were told to go to gain access to the beach. This made for a very uncomfortable situation. I did mention to the owner that we were disappointed but there was no mention of any type of compensation. I did notice that the property is now advertised as having a 5 minute walk to the beach. It’s helpful to others but it’s too late for us.

This was a great place to stay for our first trip to Manasota Key. The location was far from restaurants or activities so we drove to everything (we just didn’t know the area). The beach is a short walk across the street but the beach is small and tide stayed high. The condo was very clean, no complaints there at all. I will say the listing says it’s recently renovated but in 2020, so the wear is starting to show again. Either way, we recommend this place for a couple or small family. The owners were responsive up front and we needed nothing during our visit. Manasota Key is a great place to visit and I am hopeful we will be back!
