This place was exceptional. It was the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed at. It was very spacious and felt like home. The hosts even stocked the fridge with a few beverages and some snacks for us to enjoy. In terms of location, it was just a short walk down to the heard of Mannesota Key's dining and evening adventures. And it was even a shorter walk to the amazing and quiet beach. I will definitely stay again.

My husband & I, along with another couple were very comfortable in this unit. The rooms were able and well appointed. We walked into to town and enjoyed bicycle riding south to Stump Pass & a distance north to see the sights. We walked to the beach, even taking a paddle board. Lemon Bay was easily accessible which we toured in kayaks. Hosts were very accessible & responsive. A great vacation was had by all!

The apartment was very clean, organized and welcoming. The location was great with the beach and restaurants and short walk away. Thanks so much to Heather and Rod for a wonderful stay and intro to Manasota Key.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is just across the street with beach access. It is literally a 2 minute walk. The cottage is really well equipped- they have beach strollers to pack up the beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards (all provided on site). They also have kayaks- we rented a golf cart and put the kayaks on the cart and took them to stump pass beach and launched there. We kayaked right next to some dolphins! We did a fishing trip and grilled our catch on the patio as they have a nice grill. We also used the outdoor shower several times. We will definitely stay here again when back in the area.

Excellent location one block from the beach. Very clean and so cute!

The hosts have thought of everything that we may have needed for our stay. Clean and comfortable. We will be back!

The place was super! The bikes, kayaks, grill, welcome treats was all perfectly done for our family.

So very happy with our 5 day getaway at Heather and Rods Beach Shack. Location was incredible. Rented a golf cart and rode up and down the 11 mile Island daily. Beach access sooo close!!! We loved the provisions and the Paddle Board was a hit! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Join our time very much. Our host thought of everything, fully equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Impeccably clean, comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen, zero complaints… we look forward to staying with you again!

Very clean and spacious. Wish we had a longer stay. Walking distance to the beach was so convenient. Will definitely go back.

Amazing property and location. Very short walk to the beach and the intercostal. House was in immaculate condition and had a great beach vibe going. Couldn’t help but relax as soon as you set foot inside it. Great amenities too. Kayaks, paddle board, bikes, grill, great little table on the back pouch, and an outside shower to rinse the sand off. Just a great little house man. We will definitely be returning next year!

It was a relaxing time to sit back and enjoy life. Great food at local restaurants. My boys found over 269 sharks teeth in 2 days on the beach. We made great memories!

The Beach Shack is so cute, spacious and super clean. The owners respond quickly and are very friendly. We really enjoyed the snack basket, refreshments and variety of Kureg coffee. It has everything you need for the beach including beach towels, umbrella, small cooler bag and rolling cart. There is also an outside shower to clean off from the beach. The private beach area is literally at the end of the street. The restaurants are with in walking distance but we rented a street legal gulf cart from Venice buggies and had so much fun driving around and made finding parking a breeze. Although we were only here a short stay of 2 nights we went to the beach 5 different times and really enjoyed looking for shark teeth. The water was warm and not to rough for the little ones. This location is super convenient especially when having an infant that can’t stay at the beach long periods. We will definitely be back.

Our family of 6 wanted to have a quality, relaxing family vacation. Our host Heather and her husband were amzingly accommodating. Our family had an opportunity to spend quality time in an amzing setting. We were truly blessed!!! Thank you
