Super nice house. Lots of room for our family (5 adults, 4 kids ages 3-12). The pool was a great asset. The beach was a short walk and was not crowded. Lovely for morning walks along the beach. The grill needed some serious cleaning. Was disappointed the dock wasn’t usable. The guest house was a nice feature. Host was very attentive to all questions. All in all, a great place to stay.

The house had a nice layout with three large rooms for family to have plenty of space. Nice pool area. A short walk to beach. Beautiful view of Lemon Bay.

My husband and I stayed at Sea Turtle Memorial Day weekend along with our son, his wife and 20 month granddaughter. The house was comfortable, super well stocked, and spread out so you weren’t on top of each other. Terrazzo and Vinyl plank flooring is perfect for a beach house. Having a pool is a big bonus with our group. We love Manasota Key & would definitely rent this home again!

Loved being on the bay side. Watching the boats. The beach was a short walk away. We enjoyed all the birds that visited throughout the day. Beautiful area. Very friendly.

The house is minutes from a fantastic beach. Amenities, including bikes and beach accessories, were well thought out. We enjoyed all that Manasota Key had to offer. The home needs several (mostly minor) repairs: ripped screens in the pool area, doors that wouldn't close, dated furniture, mismatched patio furniture, damaged gutters, etc. With a little investment, this would be a 5-star home.

We were there 2 weeks and enjoyed our stay. We could watch sunset from the house then walk over to the private gulf beach to enjoy sunset. We watched dolphins on both beaches but the best was in front of the house where they worked together to get fish up against the retaining wall for their dinner. The house is about a mile from the busy public beach and restaurant area. The kitchen was well stocked and everything in the house was very clean. My only issue was some of the floors were newer and other parts were very old and looked dirty because of the wear over the years. I still gave it 5 stars for cleanliness because other than the few floor areas it was very clean. We would stay there again.

Good house weather and rip currents were tough

This home should not be overlooked! My immediate family of nine (w/ adult kids x3, their spouses x 2 and grandkids x2) were more than fortunate to have rented this VRBO the 1st week of April. A Midwest blizzard postponed our arrival by a day and our gracious host extended our stay by a day, to start the perfectness of this home. It is spacious, well-appointed for toddlers, has a fantastic kitchen that covers all your needs, has every beach and pool toy, chair, umbrella, wagon, shark teeth scoop that again covers your needs. We loved seeing the sunrise on the bay side and walking the short walk to the private access beach for sunsets. The pool was ideal - deep enough and fun with the "little pool" for kids. The additional outer guest house was perfect for my husband and I. A grocery store is close, the Englewood Farmers Market a must, the beach is fairly uninhabited with white sand and turquoise water and clean, the restaurant choices plentiful, the presence of osprey, dolphins, crabs, egrets, whistling ducks, tortoises, pelicans, shells, shark teeth if you look, Stump Pass State Park to wander in. When Hurricane Ian caused me to look north on the gulf side, I am so fortunate to have found Sea Turtle!
