About this house rental

** February 2025 now available due to an unexpected cancellation - message us with any questions ** The Hibiscus House is conveniently located less than a mile from Manasota Beach on a quiet little street and is surrounded by beautiful tropical plants and trees. The interior is mostly remodeled and is the perfect spot for a family or couples’ get-away, or for a remote worker desiring a change of scenery/ warm weather.

Manasota Beach is beautiful with the crystal clear blue waters much of the year that the area is known for. The water tends to be calm, making it great for children to play (plus there are lifeguards). Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins (manatees and turtles can also be spotted!). Parking and restrooms are available at no cost. Have fun hunting for shark’s teeth (we provide a sand rake and screen to help with your hunt!); also provided are beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards , sand toys, cooler, and a cart to roll it all out to the beach! Just bring yourself, your suit and your sunscreen.

After a day of fun, come back to the Hibiscus House and enjoy the newest addition - an OUTDOOR SHOWER! Inside, the ensuite shower has a window that looks out at the tropical plants in the backyard. There is a tub/shower in the other bathroom.

The open floor plan has the sitting area, dining area, and kitchen all in one space, so if you decide to cook, you won’t be removed from the fun. The kitchen is well equipped with everything from a blender and mixer to kids’ plastic dishes, and wine glasses. Outside you’ll find a gas grill.

Grab the rolling cooler we provide and take some wine and cheese and beach chairs back to the beach to catch a sunset - it’s a different show every night! Some of the locals like to come out wakeboarding many nights, which is fun to watch too!

When you’re ready to wind down back at the house, be sure to enjoy some time outside by the fire pit, where colorful Adirondack chairs sit in a circle, ready for catching up and bonding. We provide a propane tank upon arrival (additional tanks are $30 each). If you prefer to spend time inside, you’ll find puzzles, cards and games, as well as a Smart TV where you have Peacock Premium TV, and can also log into your Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu account. Hop on the lightning fast WiFi and share on social media what a fun time you’re having in SW Florida at the Hibiscus House.

When it’s time for bed, shut the room darkening curtains that each room is equipped with and enjoy a good night’s sleep. When you wake up, grab a cup of coffee from the coffee maker or Keurig and get excited for another day of coastal living!

This house is a little secret tucked into a beautiful tropical quiet oasis..The cottage was well appointed, comfortable and easily accessible to the beach and other points of “Venice, Florida”! The house manager (or owner) was easy to communicate with, and was such a warming find to our quick reservation due to a family emergency! We did not get to enjoy the beach or your bikes that we would have loved to us to explore the area a bit more..Maybe next time, we would definitely stay here!

Hibiscus house is the perfect beach house just 2 minutes from Manasota beach. It is extremely clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Rooms and beds are exactly as described and very comfortable. Best of all are the provided supplies- all the little things that are usually not available at rental properties such as spices, soap, cleaning supplies, cooking oil and so on. There are even beach chairs, an umbrella and other beach supplies in the garage. The host really thought of everything. Mary was easy to communicate with and really made us feel right at home! We highly recommend this property!!

It was our second stay at the Hibiscus House and again we enjoyed every minute. The house is very spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated and there is everything you need for a vacation at the beach. The kitchen is very well stocked with every appliance you can think of and the bed in the master bedroom is the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. We highly recommend the Hibiscus House and would love to stay there again on our next trip to Florida!

This was our second time to stay at the Hibiscus House. We had the best time. The house has everything you could need for a wonderful beach vacation. We enjoyed using the provided beach chairs! The beach wagons made it so much easier to transport all of our things back and forth to the beach. Our kids loved using the boogie boards provided to ride the waves at several local beaches. The house is the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in and is well stocked. The towels are soft, the beds are comfy and the house also has games our children enjoyed playing! The outdoor shower was also a great addition! We hope to stay again in the future!

From the outside, first appearance, it looked cozy and normal. But when we opened the door, it was clearly a very well maintained house. Very clean, nicely decorated, and extremely organized. The pantry and cabinets were stocked with any and all the items you would need, as if you were in your own kitchen. The rear screened patio was lovely in the morning with our coffee, watching the wildlife, and enjoying all the sounds of nature. It’s walking distance to the beach. The hosts are very personable. We will definitely book here again the next time we come to Venice.
