About this apartment rental

Part of Gecko House on Manasota Key, this ground floor, corner studio is light and bright with a view of the salt water pool. It has a surprising amount of space for a studio, including two dressers, two large nightstands, and a decent sized closet. The kitchen is a pleasant surprise as well with a full sized refrigerator, stove, microwave and a Keurig. Everything you need to prepare and serve meals - except the food - is provided, if you are in the mood to cook. Linens and towels are provided - just bring your beach clothes!

The studio is normally set up with comfortable twin beds, but they can easily be converted to a king - just let us know your preference. There are two comfortable recliners and a small tv. Wireless internet and cable tv are included.

The best part of this studio is it is steps from Lemon Bay with amazing sunrises and fishing, and steps from private beach access on the Gulf of Mexico. Pelicans, herons, sandpipers, osprey are common sights while walking the beach, and if you’re lucky dolphins! You can walk the beach searching for amazing shells or shark teeth, or swim in the beautiful water or simply relax on your beach chair. Of course, you can always step outside your door and relax at the salt water pool in the chaise lounge made for two.

Marti and Rod are truly outstanding hosts. The property is exactly what they listed and more. Anything you need they have it there for you beach gear, kitchen cookware, linens and everything in between. The location is just awesome, 50 yards to the private area on the bay to watch beautiful sunrises and 200 yards to your private piece of beach on the gulf for breathtaking sunsets. This gem tucked away off of beach road is a slice of heaven. And I just can’t put into words how Marti and Rod are just amazing people and such a pleasure to visit with. Couldn’t wait to book for next year. Thank you Marti and Rod for the most relaxing enjoyable vacation we have had in a long time.

This property did not disappoint and neither did the owner. First of all let me say the property was as expected. I stayed in the small unit and it met my needs. The pool was right out the side door. Laundry facilities just steps away and super convenient. Owner provides detergent, etc…I did not have a vehicle and there is a shuttle service on the island. Both the Bay and the beach was a short walk. Beach chairs, coolers, towels are all at the property for your use. Don’t overpack, don’t overthink it. Everything you need is here. Grocery stores will even deliver. Now, as for the owner; Marti is absolutely amazing!! She communicates and gets back to you very quickly answering questions and providing information. She has a beautiful nature and welcoming spirit. She goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. I have a friend in the area and Marti welcomed her in visiting and simple makes you feel at home. You will love this nice, quiet spot. I stayed here at the end of September, off season. It was perfect! Community was low-key, no hustle and bustle. Outdoor restaurants with live music. Just a wonderful lazy vacation which is exactly what I was looking for. I will return!

We couldn't ask for a better experience. Staying at Marti's place was just what we were looking for... Low key, A beach near by, a pool, and somewhere to unwind. The beach was absolutely beautiful. So private, at one point we were the only ones there. The house is located smack dab in the middle of a two minute walk to the beach or a 2 minute walk to the a private dock on Lemon bay. We had kayaks delivered right to the house, went out on the water and played with the manatees. Rented jet skis, took them out to the gulf and hung out with the dolphins. My boyfriend and I are gym rats which there was one of the most magical gyms (bay fit) near by that we went to daily. Grocery store a few minutes away for all your weekly essentials. Again, there isn't a thing to complain about when staying here... Marti will make this place feel like home and we can't wait to return.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gecko a house. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Marti as she was away, but her communication and Guest Hosts were perfect. Red tide was an issue at the beach while we were visiting, but Marti has a great salt water pool and we spent our days enjoying the quiet and lounging at the pool instead. Location is awesome! A few minute walk to the beach, close to stores and to restaurants. We love to eat at small local places with a view of the water and we found a different one each night and had great meals.

I should say location, location and location but in this case first are the owners. Marty and Rod welcome you with a big smile, very friendly and down to earth. Confortable beds and AC that works excellent. I stayed in the studio. Everything you need is there to have a wonderful relax time. If you want to cook you have a kitchen with utensils, pans, plates, cups, etc. if you drink coffee you have a keurig. The pool is a plus. Two minutes walk to the beach and 3 min drive to 3 very good restaurants. Love to see the sunrise in one side (1 min walk) and sunset in the other side (2 min walk). Paradise in Paradise.

The property was located on a beautiful, private street, tucked away just a short walk from the beach. The pool was a great place to relax too! The property owners were so friendly and the room was very comfortable. Beach towels, beach chairs, and more were provided!

Manasota Key is our favorite place in Florida to vacation. It sits along the Gulf and Lemon Bay there's four beaches that are amazing. Our Bungalow at Gecko house was perfect they had everything we needed including a beautiful saltwater pool with plenty of seating. The hosts, Marti & Rod are wonderful people. They are very gracious and kind. They made our stay even more enjoyable by hanging out at the pool and sharing favorite stories with us. We stayed two weeks and it wasn't long enough, we can't wait to go back. Gecko house is our new go to vacation house from now on!

When we count our lucky stars, we count Gecko House, too! It is truly the perfect paradise oasis that we were seeking. Manasota Key is one of our favorite places in Florida, and Gecko House is situated on the island perfectly! It sits on the Lemon Bay side of the road (with access to a dock), but it's also just a short walk away to a stunningly beautiful beach through a deeded beach access path. Sit at the pool or go to the beach... That's the toughest decision we had to make. This is truly an island retreat, so one must know that little island critters are around but we find them fun to watch. The hosts, Rod & Marti, are most hospitable and so much fun to be around. Thank you both for a most amazing stay. We've traveled the world, and can't wait to come back to you! If you want a laid-back vacation, make sure to visit Gecko House. Its old-Florida charm is addicting. Watching the ospreys gracefully gliding or listen to the sounds of various birds is most entertaining. Trust us, you won't want to leave. We didn't!
