Wonderful property and also the most accommodating and clean VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend!

Overall great time at great property. Will come back for sure

There was everything that we needed at the cottage. Easy check in, clean, walking distance to the beach. I highly recommend this place. My grandkids had a great time with the kayaks.

We can't say enough about this property and the owners. Everything was wonderful. There was everything that we could need or want here and the location is perfect!!!!

Stay here with full confidence. A+ all the way. Perfect beach shack! Great host.

My wife and I stayed for a long weekend on her 50th birthday!! We could not have asked for a more perfect retreat. The property is a very short walk from the beach, it is immaculate on the inside, the fridge had Coke/Pepsi and a few beers already stocked, there were also goodies to munch on beachside. One of the best perks was the kayaks, paddle board and all the beach equipment. We look forward to the next time we stay and bringing company to rent out the sister unit next door. We have found our new retreat from home only an hour and a half away. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Heather for your hospitality.

Thank you so much for everything! The property was beautiful and we had a wonderful time :)

This property is amazing . We had a great time.....all the extras are such an added benefit!

We were impressed with all the amenities included in this little shack. Restaurants were closeby & if we wanted to stay home the kitchen was well stocked with pots & pans etc...

Very nice and clean. Maybe a minute to the beach. We’ll be back for sure!

We stayed in the Seashell Shanty for 5 days on this first trip to Manasota Key. I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful, just-right-sized, vacation rental. It was clean and very comfortable for our stay. The kitchen is well stocked, including a regular coffee maker and a Keurig (Coffee is a staple in my family😉). Rod and Heather are excellent hosts and really took care of small details that we have never seen at other rentals. They left us plenty of savory snacks, a bottle of wine, a couple of beers, coffee pods for the Keurig, Coke, and any soaps you may need (plenty of cleaning products and laundry soap too). The wifi speed is better than at our own house, and we enjoyed the extra TV channels, as we have no satellite/cable TV at our home. The highlights of the week were using the free kayaks, trying the stand up paddle board for the first time, and enjoying the Brisket Melt Sandwich (a MUST) at The Sandbar Tiki and Grille. The Seashell Shanty is located about midway between the restaurants and the state park, thus an easy walk in either direction. The deeded beach access is only about 350 yards from the unit. We highly recommend a stay here and we are already planning a return trip. ❤️

The Beach Shack is a wonderful place to stay. My second trip and it definitely won’t be the last! Super clean, everything you need! We love Manasota Key!

This is the one you want! If you are looking for a super clean and very nice little place, this is it. It is located in a nice quiet area and has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The many extra touches were so appreciated. It is very obvious that the owners truly want to provide a nice place for their guests. 10 stars! We will be back very soon, for sure :-)

We have stayed at other properties but this one took the cake! The room was very clean and had everything you could possibly need and then some. Heather paid attention to every detail. She was quick to respond to all of my inquiries.. It was a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants and grocery stores. We can’t wait to book our next vacay!

Great destination for a getaway! Heather and the Beach Shack team have thought of everything to ensure an excellent stay.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. You can tell that the owners really thought about who was going to stay here. The amenities - bikes, kayaks, chairs, screened in patio, (a must for Florida!), chairs out front, and the outdoor shower - all amazing. The “shack” was clean, and I mean clean! And the little goodies, snacks, drinks, the book with local information and menus, everything you needed to feel welcome and have a great time. There are even pictures showing what it looked like before renovations! Will definitely be coming back, highly recommend!!
