We had an amazing stay at Gecko House! The second floor accommodations are everything you could ask for in a vacation home! Superb location and spotlessly clean, comfortable, and modern interior. The pictures do not do it justice! My family of four was able to spread out, relax, cook, and enjoy time together without feeling cramped. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need in addition to the basics - pots/pans/juicer/various coffee makers/etc. The open floor plan was very much appreciated. We loved that the “chef” each night was able to be a part of the action in the living room. The two extra large bedrooms (with insanely comfy king beds) are nicely situated on opposite sides of the living room. Marti and Rod are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. It is clear that they care about their guests and their home and want everyone to have a relaxing and worry-free experience! They promptly respond to any questions. They were right there to help us with the only tiny issue (grill not lighting) we encountered the entire week. Not only did they bring us a different grill to use (within 5 minutes!) they ended up purchasing another grill the next day. I sense that they frequently purchase new items for Gecko House. It is quite evident as everything works well and is beautifully updated. Without question the best place we have ever stayed in FL! We highly recommend and we look forward to returning! Thank you for sharing your home with us, Marti and Rod.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Marti and Rod's VRBO - Gecko House. The location was perfect, with access to both the key and bay, and included the use of kayaks and bikes. The apartment we had was super clean, spacious, and well set up with everything we needed. We loved having two bedrooms and baths for the nights we had guests. Beach chairs, umbrellas, etc., were all supplied and the pool and pool area were just lovely. Beach access to a spectacular beach was a short walk right across the street, and you couldn't have more wonderful and generous hosts. Highly recommend! We are planning on returning and are recommending Gecko House to family and friends. Such a wonderful experience in a truly lovely location. Also, parking is easy and right at your door, and other Gecko House guests were great to connect with as well.

The only thing inaccurate in the description is it understates how perfect this property and the hosts are. Extremely clean, unbelievably well equipped, very comfortable beds and convenient to the beach and restaurants/entertainment. The beach was as private as any along the Gulf Coast. Marti and Rod, thanks for setting the standard for a VRBO.

I am a mountain person, so beaches are not my usual thing. But this vacation was a great time, and the Gecko (we stayed in the 2 BR upstairs unit) is one of the main reasons. First of all, I think that the place is even better than the listing. The unit is spacious, clean, has all the amenities, allows for cooking, has a deck, and a nice swimming pool. Outside, they allow the use of some bikes, two kayaks, wagon/umbrella/chairs for the beach. It is a short walk to a dock on the bay (we fished, kayaked, and saw a couple of dolphins), and a 4-5 minute walk to the beach on the Gulf (with some shade). Honestly, the location is amazing, close to many things, but just enough away from the public beaches. If I ever come back to Manasota Key, I will be booking this place again. Great job, Marti.

We couldn't change the weather, but our stay at the Gecko House was great. First , Marti is amazing in her quick replies to questions and troubles. As it was colder than anticipated, Marti was able to remotely change the thermostat so we were able to have some heat. There are spices and other usable items that have been left by other travelers. It enabled me to cook some of the local fish. We recommend the Triple Tail! It is a quick walk to the beach, so hauling your shelling treasures is easy(there are carts for beach chairs and shells!) The beds are comfy and sheets are soft. Bathrooms are quite functional and clean. I could go on but, in a nut shell, the 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor was great We hope to return and maybe stay in a smaller unit. Thank you Marti and Crew for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at the Gecko House. Marti and Ron are amazing hosts. The house was perfect with every amenity you can imagine. It truly was a home away from home. If you are looking for a wonderful, warm and inviting place to stay- this is it!

We would have loved to stay longer. It is a quiet/peaceful area with the Bay and Beach steps away. It is very spacious and clean. Everything we needed and more was available to us. There are more appliances to use than I have at home. Definitely want to return.

We enjoyed an incredible and comfortable stay at this location. Marti made all necessary preparations and regularly checked on us during our stay. The property includes great beds, comfortable living room furniture and three easy-to-use smart TVs. The owners also provide all you need to enjoy your time at the beach or in their swimming pool. You can use carts to carry food, drinks, boogie boards, chairs, etc. to make the three-minute walk to a quiet, private beach. All of those items (minus food and drink) are provided. I highly recommend taking advantage of the chance to use this property. We fit five people comfortably during the final two nights of our week-long stay.

This rental was perfect in every way. Marti the owner has thought of everything. She has made sure that anyone who stays here has everything they need to have a great time and not have to pack the house to go on vacation. Plenty of supplies (toilet paper, trash bags, cleaning supplies and even shampoo and first aid. The place is super cute, very clean and chargers for your technology everywhere. The location to the beach is perfect as well. The pool is a great place to cool off and even has floats and toys for the kids. She lives on property but respects your time and is only there if you need her. We loved staying here and will definitely be back. We enjoyed the beach cart in getting the items to the beach we needed to relax. The weather was perfect, the beach here is quiet and we enjoyed watching the turtle nest hatch and make it to the sea. If you are looking for a peaceful place t stay and not have to worry about anything then this is where you want to be!!!!!

My sister and I rented the 2 BR/BA and was perfect we each had our private king bed and full bath. The furniture was comfy for our evening’s watching movies on large TV, the pool was relaxing and the landscaping was tropical and quite. The beaches and the bay were steps away and so tranquil. I did not want to leave this paradise.The Magnolia restaurant was perfect the Sandbar was fun with live music. Yoga on the beach, so much to do on Manasota Key. Can’t wait to go back. Marti is the best host 🤩

Property is spilt unto 4 rentals, 3 on the bottom and this one on the top. Marti was a wonderful host and it was so nice getting to know her. There is anything and everything you may need in the house and shared beach chairs, umbrellas and bikes. The property has its own small dock on the bay... about a 2 minute walk behind the house and also has its own deeded beach access which is right across the road, only 4 minute walk. LOVED the private beach access! We will definitely be back! Thanks for the great sta Marti!

While looking to get back to SWFL for our son’s spring break, we had know idea we’d be able to find such a great place. Property was just as described. Location, amenities, and access (beach and bay) were spot on. And, our host was great. Marti welcomed us like family and made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Pleasantly surprised with how well this unit was stocked. It was a great location with access to both the bay & gulf coast. The private beach was a short walk and very enjoyable. Shark teeth and shells were plenty!! The unit had stand up desks that aided in the little bit of office work that needed to be attended to while on vacation. Smart TVs in all the rooms with lots of choices! Good internet connection. Marti was very helpful and friendly, answering our questions and providing extra beach and bath towels when requested.

Perfect stay at Gecko House!

The unit was super clean, super spacious, and stocked well beyond our expectations. There literally is nothing Marti the host did not think about. The house is located in a quiet section of the key and is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful private beach and less than a minute walk to dock on the bay. Marti made the booking easy, the stay perfect, and check out a breeze. Will definitely be returning!
