Beachfront Home on Gulf of Mexico w/ Fire Pit!

Reviews

• Beautiful beach location but very uncomfortable sleep

  3/5

  The Best part of this stay was definitely the location just steps from the beach. The property is surrounded by lush green vegetation - just a wonderful tropical retreat. There are several things that would keep us from coming back. First of all is that the TV, internet, and no electronics that needed Wifi or direct TV worked consistently enough to watch even an ad. Also, the ventilation in the downstairs basement is non-existent. The pool cleaners put bleach in the indoor pool on Thursday evening and the Lower level bedrooms are non-sleepable due to the fumes even with all the doors closed. The beds should all be replaced, they were either way to soft and saggy or way too lumpy. Every night, I worried about where we would sleep due to all poor bed mattresses. The upstairs "bedroom" has no privacy as there are no doors between the bedroom and the living room except for a curtain. Also, the bedroom is a passthrough access to the lower level. We were checking this place out for future family vacays, but unfortunately we won't be back.

  If these things were addressed, we definitely love the location and would like to stay here again.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Kj, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - This property is all about location, with its proximity to the beach and surrounding lush vegetation
  - The home offers satellite-based TV and internet services, which can be affected by Florida's summer storms, due to the remote location
  - The indoor pool is serviced regularly, and we have reduced the amount of chlorine to minimize any potential odor. The pool area is air-conditioned, which should help with ventilation
  - The beds are relatively new, and while they are chosen for comfort, we understand that mattress preferences can vary. We’re sorry to hear they didn’t meet your needs
  
  Thank you again for providing such valuable feedback. We appreciate your comments as they help us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

• Manasota Key Gem!

  5/5

  Fantastic, private property right on the Gulf. Such a unique and fun home. Having stayed at several properties on the north side of Manasota Key, this was worthy of a repeat stay. Despite being adjacent to Manasota Key Beach, which tends to get very busy in the summer, this info was part of the listing and all things considering, it wasn't all that bad on the northern/residence side of the beach. Definitely worth a relaxing wak through the lush vegitation on the property! is

• Great beach escape

  5/5

  My husband, 2 college aged children and I stayed at this home in June 2024. We chose it because it’s right on the beach and it’s also a 8 minute drive to where my parent’s live in Venice. We wanted a family vacation near my parents so we could spend time with them. The views from the upper level of the home are amazing and we loved hanging out on the upper deck. There were plenty of beach chairs provided and we enjoyed taking long walks on the beach and we collected lots of shells and shark teeth. There was plenty of room for all of us. There are two bedrooms and one full bath downstairs and one bedroom and one full and one half bath upstairs. The upstairs bedroom does not have a door. Rather, it is a curtain that separates the room. The layout and decor is funky but it worked for us. The property is large, tropical and private. It was great to disconnect and spend family time together. One note, the wi-fi is very spotty, cell phone coverage was also a bit spotty and we could not get the TV’s to work. But, we were okay with that. The contact person was very quick to respond with any questions we had. I would stay here again.

• Funky hippie house

  5/5

  Super fun house with something new and crazy and different in every corner. The public beach spills over in front of the house beach area at peak times as the house is right next to it.
