About this apartment rental

Island House is your home away from home for pure relaxation, refreshment, and rejuvenation.
All apartments are located in 1 building only a few steps away from the beach.
This apartment is upstairs ( 5 or 6 ) with a side view to the beach from the Master bedroom.

From sun-up to well past sundown; from glowing morning skies to saturated ocean sunsets and sparkling starry nights, Island House is your special place to let all stresses fly away. Sipping morning coffee or tea on the beach deck while drinking in views of the crystal blue waters of the Gulf….strolling along miles of pristine white sands on Manasota Key….watching playful dolphins, exotic birds and endangered turtles….basking in the sun….playing in the waves…what quiet moments and pleasant memories await!

Directly on the beach facing the Gulf of Mexico, Island House is a privately owned vacation rental of six fully furnished apartments–three upstairs and three on the ground floor.

This is a non-smoking property. All units have full kitchens including stove, oven, full-sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker ( filter ) , dishes, cookware, and utensils! A barbecue grill is available outside for all guests to share.
Each unit has 4 beach chairs and 1 umbrella. We also provide beach towels - exchange upon request.

Location was lovely. I don't like giving bad reviews as a business owner myself I understand how important and influential reviews can be. So I don't wish to post anything negative but rather suggest a few things. First, the furniture is wrong. Its a beach condo so i couldn't come to terms on why there were leather sofas. Additionally, they were small and uncomfortable. After a day at the beach coming back to put your feet up on a comfy couch was not an option. Also, while there were many kitchen utensils for use. I would suggest a simple one cup keurig coffe maker as traditional coffer make that needs coffee grids, filter..etc is not a good option and can be messy and bring unwanted pests. We also had to purchase a baking pan as we did not have one.. no big deal of course but this is a suggestion. There was a bin out back by the beach which i was advised contained all sorts of beach toys however, they were just thrown around and scattered which did not make it appealing to use. The property and location is perfect with restaurants, beach and park close by. I think a few tweaks here and there and the host stopping by the property once or twice a week would make a difference. I honestly wouldn't of mind a knock on the door or a call asking me if everything was ok. That being said, I would return to this property.

Great beach location, interior unit but spent entire time outside on the beach. Missed having a laundry but loved having the umbrella, chairs and beach towels available. Kitchen was well stocked for our needs. We loved the 15 minute walk to Sand Bar for live music and cocktails, many others beach bars walkable as well. Had some fun finding shark teeth, not big ones but still fun. The sunsets were the absolute best! Great unit for beach lovers.

The rooms were spotless and the location was better than expected. We were right on the beach and there were plenty of chairs, towels, and even a large beach umbrella. It's close to all kinds of bars & restaurants with great seafood and live music. Everything we needed and then some. Would definately stay again!

The apartment was clean and quiet, the essentials were provided. The private beach is only steps away. We walked the beach every morning. We found so many shells and shark teeth and at the end of the day watched the sun set. Towels, chairs and an umbrella was provided which was so convenient. The town is not far with a couple of restaurants to choose from. We would definitely stay here again.

Property was as described. Just the kind of area we like. Quiet, away from all the tourist type things. Beautiful beach and area. Our flight was canceled. After making other arrangements I let the contact know it was going to be after midnight when we arrived. They offered to go turn on lights for us. 🙂

I hate to give this a three-star rating because much of the stay was better than that (see my rating specifics), but I was looking for a place to stay that had a hot tub and this place did not, even though hot tub was the first item listed on both the “Amenities” and “Popular Amenities” lists in the location’s description. I reached out to the owner, and the owner told me that a hot tub wasn’t advertised for this property. I sent screen shots of the listing claiming to have a hot tub and had no further response from the owner. That, I think, was the worst part of the whole issue. Maybe an apology/acknowledgement would have been appropriate for the situation. I’m a pretty understanding person, and I can see how a listing could have an error. I would like to add, in all fairness, that in all other communication the owner was very attentive and quick to respond. Maybe the listing has been corrected by now—I do hope that is the case. If not, be aware that this location does not have a hot tub (as of January 2024). The house was well furnished, the kitchen well equipped. There were plenty of towels, washcloths, etc. We never did find the umbrellas advertised. The bathroom hot water was never hot—warm-ish at best. Kitchen water very hot. I would like to note that the beach is very quiet and not very busy—this is exactly what my daughter and I were seeking. If you’re looking for peace and serenity, I would recommend this place.

We enjoyed our stay at Island House. Everything is as described. The beach is lovely…no crowds and it was during spring break. The only thing we wished we could have had was another shower, but of course we knew that prior to booking. Within walking distance to some great restaurants and all other amenities are within a 10 minute drive. Thank you for prompt replies and for keeping the property so clean!

This is an excellent property. SUPER clean. Great location. Half mile walk to restaurants, steps from the beach. Very quiet neighborhood. Beach was never overcrowded and very open. Huge parking area. Beach towels, umbrella and chairs provided. Ceiling fans in every room. Extra personal fan, which we liked for white noise. King bed is soft. Bedrooms had plenty of closet space, and dresser space, so you don't have to live out of your suitcase. We had a great stay.

Small building with six (I think) efficiency apartments situated on the sand of a beautiful un-crowded beach. The apartments aren’t fancy but simple and recently renovated. Apartments are spotless and well appointed with everything needed for a pleasant stay. We’ll be back without question.

The only issue that we had was that the water in the bathroom sink didn't drain well. Otherwise we liked it. No frills but it had everything you'd need!

This complex is literally on the beach. Just as photos show! The unit was very clean. If you’re looking for a cozy “home away from home” experience, this is not your place. Very bare and stripped down rooms. Like a motel suite without the accommodations that come with a hotel. Sheets were extremely threadbare and plucked. Pillows felt like a sack of gym socks. Not a single cleaning product provided as a courtesy. Water pressure was non existent making it difficult if you’ve got children. Overall, we enjoyed it though because we spent more time on the beach than in the room. It’s great to open up your door and see the beach and hear the waves which is what we were looking for.

There was a parking pass missing so I was worried I'd get towed. Overall it was fine
