Perfect spot for families

My family had a great time at Jim and Judy’s home. There was more than enough space for us and two kids ages 5 & 8. The beach is about a 2 minute walk which we enjoyed in the mornings and the heated pool in the afternoons. The area is still recovering from hurricane damage but this house is fully ready and stocked!

Nice, Relaxing Stay!

My family and I enjoyed our time. The property owners were very responsive and communicated with us as needed. Location to the bay and beach were a short walk away. The pool was refreshing during the hot afternoons! A few updates to the pool area and guest rooms would make this perfect. I recommend this property to a family or couples wanting a relaxing beach vacation.

Excellent!

The property is perfect for family and has EVERYTHING you need for a Florida vacation! The open living room/kitchen/dining area so spacious. The pool outside the kitchen is a so perfect for a day at home instead of the beach. And just a short walk to beach and AWESOME fishing dock.

Great Vacation

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

Great family property

We loved everything about this property. The house was stocked with anything you may need for a comfortable stay. We cooked all but 1 meal at the house and had every kitchen item we needed. Also the amount of beach accessories, fishing stuff, books and games was amazing. The walk to the beach and fishing dock was a very doable distance for all of us. We definitely hope to return to this property again soon. Jim and Judy were very quick to respond to any question we had.

Relaxing Oasis

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.

Great House, Great Host

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.

Pool was great!

Convenient area, about a 3 min walk to the beach and a 3-10 minute drive to any store or restaurant we needed. It is possible to drive across to the gate for the beach access and unload if you want to take an umbrella, chairs, cooler, etc. and have someone drive the vehicle back and walk across. The dock is also very nice and only a quick minute drive/walk. We were able to park there and take our poles, etc. We had 3 children in our group and the pool was a lifesaver! Perfect size for cooling off in the afternoon.

Peaceful Getaway

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.

Inexpensive Family Vacation!

This was a wonderful place for a family beach week! The owners have provided everything you could want for fun in the sun, beach equipment, pool toys, etc. Our family included a five year old and a one year old and they had a ball! We enjoyed cooking on the gas grill and had plenty of dishes and pots and pans for meal prep. This is a nice area with clean beaches. Thanks, Jim and Judy for a great week! We hope to return someday.

Semi-Private beach with breathtaking sunsets

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.

January stay at Manasota Key

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

Great vacatoin

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.

Solid Place!

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.

Jim and Judy were perfect hosts! Their home was just that, a home. Way more room than we needed, a neighbor stopped by to make sure everything was okay and beaches to walk and swim were a short distance away. Thank you for sharing. Diane

Enjoyed ourselves

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.

Very good 👍

Beautiful pool. Very clean. Very roomy. Our weather was not the best so did not swim but that is not owners fault. Still a wonderful stay. I would only use the lemon bay access. The gulf access not real pretty and crowded with private homes. People in area real friendly and lots to do in area.

Quiet, relaxing accomodation

Listing photos didn't do the house justice, it was really well maintained and spacious. We took advantage of both the beach and the dock, and went on down further to Blind Pass beach several times as well. I loved the fact we were in a quiet location, not the commercialism of many beach areas I have visited, which makes it a great getaway. There was more than enough room for our family, great selection of reading materials, and DVD's as well as games. We definitely would like to return on future vacations. We visited nearby Boca Grande Island, and made a day trip to Tarpon Springs, approximately two hours away. Jim was very prompt in all correspondence. It was a pleasure staying here!

Adorable house in perfect location

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!

About the host

Hosted by Judy or Jim

Host profile image
Jim and Judy fell in love with the old Florida charm of the island and the people! The friendly, serene atmosphere is inviting and calming. The hosts are honest, credible educators and parents who want to share the beauty of our home and the community.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to Florida for 25 years and kept finding ourselves at Manasota Key, with the most beautiful beaches and the most friendly, fun-loving people! When we found this home for sale, we knew we had to have it. We are still working and cannot be there year-round, so we want to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

This house is a perfect balance of island life on Manasota Key. It is close enough to hear waves crashing or take the just a 3-4 minute walk to the beach or bay - start the day with sunrise on the bay dock and enjoy a sunset walk on the beach. You will find the home to have quiet, peace, and shade. The pool is warm and relaxing and you'll have access to bikes, pool toys, etc. The front porch has prehistoric sharks teeth -- to welcome you to the beach house! The tropical flora and fauna will delight your sense of sight and smell!
