Perfect size for 3 adults. Had everything we needed and more. Nice walk to the Gulf. The one downfall was the steps down to the water for me. I have health issues that make stairs an issue but i did it to enjoy the beautiful location on the water.

My husband and I visited Manasota Key to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place. Marti was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. The house had absolutely everything! I cannot praise them enough for all the amenities included. It really made being there feel like home! Since we flew down and didn't have a car, having basically everything we needed was extremely helpful: bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, beach bags, a wagon to carry everything, a washer/dryer area with everything needed plus our room included plenty of shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, bug spray, condiments in the fridge, snacks and 2 bottles of water, etc. The list goes on. The location was also perfect as it was a short and beautiful walk to the bay or the beach. For anyone looking for a place to stay in Manasota Key, this is it!!

Nice place, great location.

Clean, comfortable 1 bedroom with kitchen. Laundry (washer and drier) were excellent and convenient. Location was perfect for us.

Well maintained older property. Provided many options for fun. Included kayaks, fishing poles, beach umbrella’s and chairs. Quick access to bay or beach. Nice pool.

Gecko house was accurately described in the listing. It is located on a quiet street. The apartment was clean and cared for. This was our first VRBO and we were impressed. Marti really has thought out everything. From beach towels to every needed for the beach. Chairs, toys, wagons for transport, umbrellas and more. The pool was great! The house was equipped with toaster, coffee pot and coffee and microwave. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and anything else we needed to cook. The beach is an easy walk across the beach road and short path. The welcome snacks and cold waters were much appreciated. Communication with Marti was easy and responsive. Marti answered all questions we had in a timely manner. Pretty much instantly. We had a wonderful stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Manasota Key. This rental was very clean and had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect! Easy access to a quiet area of the beach. The pool was a nice option as well. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive. Wonderful vacation!

Overall the Gecko house was very clean & provided everything we needed. However, description of just steps from beach were inaccurate but once you get there, ok. Biggest disappointment was "RED TIDE" which had us coughing & definitely kept us off the beach. HIGHLY recommend checking the status of the Red Tide prior to visiting any of the gulf beaches !!!
