Everything you need for a beautiful relaxing vacation, is exactly what you get with this gorgeous home. The short walk to the beach everyday, was our favorite. The pool was so refreshing after a hot day. The home is as listed, plenty of room for a family, and very comfortable for us as a couple. We will definitely return.

The house, pool and location were perfect for our family. It was a short walk to both the beach and dock on the bay. Spent many hours in the pool. Home was comfy and met the basic needs. Considering coming back next year

Judy and Jim will restore your faith in hosts if it is lost! Great home with all the amenities needed. It truly felt like we were staying in a home instead of a rental. From the bike tires being pumped to the pool heater on, this place was ready to enjoy the moment we turned the key. Easy access to the beach and pier, our family enjoyed it all.

Great place to stay. Wanted to book next year in February, but they were already booked.

This house is in the perfect location-so close to the beach and the dock to Lemon Bay for fishing-yet tucked in so you still have privacy. Shopping, groceries, golfing, and restaurants are all close by as well. The semi private beach was not crowded at all which was the best! We had plenty of room in the house for our family of 5 plus 2 more family members that came to visit for a few days. The house had all the essentials. The screened in pool was amazing and definitely a hit with the kids. The owners were pleasant and prompt at responding to all of my questions both before booking and after. We had a great time and would definitely come back!

We had a great stay and enjoyed the home very much! The location of the house was very convenient and the pool was perfect to come home to after a long day at the beach! Cant wait to go back!

Jim and Judy were wonderful. Judy walked my kids to both beaches so we would know the way. Jim was telling me about future improvements. It'll be even nicer next year. My family found lots of shark teeth and some sea glass and shells. Do these nice hosts a favor and leave the teeth in the porch.

The hosts are wonderful and accommodating. Description and photos of the beach house are accurate. Clean, smells nice, very roomy and comfortable beds. Full kitchen and also an outside grill. Nice screened in pool to enjoy if you’re not relaxing on the beach. We were able to visit the beach a few times a day since it is located just across the street. The beach is not crowded, and the people are very friendly. Good restaurants and shops nearby.

The house is spread out which allows the family to be together but not driving each other crazy. The pool is great and perfect for large family. I love the location of the home as it is a short walk to the beach and dock on the river. We had no complaints from anyone in the family. Would recommend this home and would love to come again.

This little 3 bedroom was perfect for my family of 6. Being able to hit the uncrowded beach just a short walk across the street, loop around the neighborhood road to fish off Lemon Bay (or see a manatee), or to simply lounge at the pool make this an easy pick. The timing was neat to see all the sea turtle markings coming up the beach each evening. Very recommended, a little dated but lets be honest if you go to Manasota Key to chill inside your wasting your money.

Thanks for the good time! It was too cold to use the pool, but it was nice that it was there. The hosts were accessible when we had questions, location was exactly what we wanted. Nice to be close to a private beach access and the dock. Overall, great trip.

This was the perfect house for my family for this vacation Jan 8-15. The house was well-stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils. The bedrooms were supplied with extra pillows and blankets. The pool and deck were wonderful, Everything was clean, and the hosts were very easy to contact. They responded immediately when we had a question

Very spacious-easily fit our family of 7 and visitors. Great location-close to the beach and shopping/ restaurants. Pool is a highlight too! The only reason for 4 star overall rating is because the bathrooms needed more cleaning attention.

This was our first time staying at a house and not a hotel. We will be staying at a house from now on! Private pool and beach were amazing!!! House was very clean and well stocked with needed items. Owners were easy to communicate with.

So many beaches have become commercial. Manasota Key still has the old Florida charm. Jim and Judy were great to work with and provided a respite for our family.

It won’t let me write a single reason why but trust me this was the worst experience of my life.

The location of this property is great. Easy walking distance to the beach and the dock. We enjoyed the beach and the pool is also really nice. The house isn't fancy (which we don't care about fancy) but it was comfortable and met our needs. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to stay here again. Communication with the owners was excellent. We had the pleasure of meeting Judy in person. She is very pleasant and she left us a nice little parting gift.

We had a fantastic week here! Yes, it's a little dated inside, but everything was clean. The short walk to the beach was perfect, no getting our car full of sand! The beach felt so secluded! We saw a handful of neighbors and beach walkers, nothing like the crowded public beaches. The pool was great to cool off in after getting back from the beach. The owner stayed above the garage for a few days during our stay, but we hardly noticed her. She was super friendly when we did see her. (A minor note, the mattress in the master bedroom could probably stand to be replaced soon, it's a bit broken down.) We will definitely look for this property again when we plan our next beach vacation!

Larger than it looks online plenty of space we split with my sister and her family. A total of 8 people and had plenty of space to sleep and relax at that same time. Love that the matter suite closes off from the rest of the house for early sleepers. The pool was perfect and the new screen cover was definitely worth the investment. The owners are courteous and respected our privacy such wonderful hosts! They were immediately available to answer an questions as well. The house came stocked as expected with plenty of towels and bedding, and but of everything to get you started. Grocery is not far at all and neither is a convince store. I would highly recommend Jim and Judy to families looking for a relaxing spacious home close enough but not in the heart of it all. Private beach access is a bonus too. Thanks again Judy for making us feel like family. Excited to come back soon.

The pool was the highlight of this home. We found all we needed available for our use. The beach is a manageable walk. A lovely getaway for the family.

Our experience has been great.

This is a great family place! The pool-definitely a highlight- was warm and has steps to make it easy for the little ones to play and get in and out. Our 1.5 y/o, and almost 5 & 7 y/o really enjoyed the pool and also the children's books, toys and games. the short walk to the beach was very doable. We were blessed with beautiful weather while we were there, so no complaints. Jim & Judy were great. Thanks! We hope to come back! Also, nearby Geraldi's pizza is very good!

Interior of property is a bit outdated and beach chairs provided, were very worn out. Good location and walk to beach was fine for us, but may be a bit much for elderly or families with small kids and a lot of supplies to carry. Pool was a nice amenity, it was clean, but at times water was a bit chilly. Owner was available to turn up pool heater on request. Of note, owners were staying on property in guest house and we were reminded a few times that home is located in a residential neighborhood and No noise is permitted past 9pm and there was no outdoor music permitted as well. This could be a hassle for guests that enjoy chatting outdoors or families with older children that want to swim or hang outside past 9pm.

Jim and Judy were so nice to let us check in early because our flight arrived early. They are very nice people. They showed us how to get to the beach and dock. The house is set up well and it is stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. Laundry is convenient.We were there Dec 15-21 and unfortunately the pool heater was not consistent and the pool was way too cold for 3 or 4 of the days. This was really disappointing because the Gulf is way too cold this time of year.

Had a great time at the house, worked well for family with small kids, beach was close walk and made it easy to pop over for short time and enjoy the ocean. Beach was not crowded and the pool was wonderful to enjoy as well.

House is close to the beach which is beautiful and secluded. The pool was nice to have and the cage defiantly makes it convenient. The house is cozy and has what you need could use a deep cleaning and some organization to cabinets and closets they are filled with a bunch of junk but no necessities like dishwasher soap or paper towels. Served our purpose well though. Plenty of room for a family to be together but still have their own space. We had a relaxing stay and the area is very nice!

Large enough for big family without tripping over each other. Plenty of activities to do. Good restaurants nearby. Private beach is great. Good fishing in Lemon Bay and the Gulf from shore.

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is so beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped that you can easily forget you're in a neighborhood. The dock and the beach are both a short and easy walk. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool. This was our first visit to Manasota Key and we will definitely be back.

Had a blast on the island!! The home and pool were very relaxing and enjoyable. Beaches amazing.

We had a great time staying at Paradise Cove house. The pool was awesome. The house is spacious and had everything we needed. The private beach is only 5 minutes of walking distance and it is great. The sunsets are amazing. The Lemon Bay is also 5 minutes away with private fishing dock. Kids had a great time fishing. This is a rare find when you het a great house with the pool, and private beach, and fishing dock. Thanks Jim and Judy!!!
