Good choice

Everything was great about the property except the bar-b-que was small and filthy. The downstairs bedroom window leaks and the water runs down the wall and puddles on the floor. The rainy and windy weather exposed both problems. The property manager was great and responsive - but the owner needs to fix both problems. If not they are going to have a mold and drywall problem.

Perfect Pick

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When booking a home in the keys, I have many check list to fill for our yearly family/friends vacation. This home checked them all and was way above my expectations upon arrival. The owners have really done an excellent job on the layout. With a party of 10 this vacation, there was plenty of room to be together or get away for some peace and privacy. All the areas outside to sit for different vibes were incredible!!! The ability to rent a boat and gas up right next door was a bonus!! To view sunset and sunrise such a plus!! The home provided everything you need to get started (tp,pt,soap etc) having 2 washers and dryers, so awesome!!! Location perfect for shopping!!, very peaceful property!!, Loved the 2 tv's outside by pool and tiki. House was very clean!!! Mallorie and Riley were very prompt and kind for any questions we had, would definetly book this home again, Thank goodness for folks that share their piece of paradise with us, We greatly appreciate and respect the home as if it were ours for a week of vacation!!!!

Amazing House

The house was amazing, it had more than what we expected. It was very comfortable. If only the pool would have been heated from day one (unable to really utilize the pool due to it being freezing water then the weather) It would have been perfect vacation!

Amazing place to stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved everything about this house. It had an amazing view. The outside area was great for hanging out after a long day on the boat. The covered pool area kept the bugs away for our little ones to swim in the evening. The rooms were spacious and loved the two levels to keep the families separated. Two sets of washer and dryers also was great for multiple families although we did notice a smell that transferred to our clothes so I would recommend they do maintenance. If I had to make a critique I would say the mattresses could use a upgrade as those were not very comfortable.

Perfect vacation home in KCB

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was well appointed and a perfect set up for two families with lots of children. Not only was the pool and spa just what we needed, but the trips to the cabana club was one of our favorite daily activities. All the games and extra touches made this house our favorite rental yet. We have been visiting KCB for 10+ years and plan to continue our yearly tradition.

Christmas in the Florida Keys

This property was awesome, just as it was advertised. It was perfect for our family of nine. The location was great. We loved sitting outside watching the boats go by. Also saw a manatee one morning. Also liked how close it was to restaurants and ice cream shops. Would look forward to staying here again.

Manatee Bay is the Best!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Manatee Bay is a beautiful home filled with all of the amenities needed for a perfect vacation. It is perfect for large groups and the lanai is great for hanging out around the pool. We arrived later than planned and were surprised the bathrooms were not fully stocked with towels and toilet paper. This was our second trip to Manatee Bay so we didn't expect to go to the store that evening. The cleaning crew was not as thorough as last year. We found the kitchen counter was dirty under the coffee pot and water bottles under beds. The property managers are terrific and responded quickly when needed. We are already planning our next trip to Marathon and will be staying at Manatee Bay again.

Perfect for 10 adults

We last visited the Keys about 15 years ago when our kids were younger. It was so much fun to return with them now that they’re all adults. The house met all our needs. Plenty of room to spread out and the kitchen was well appointed to prepare a meal for us all. The house is in a great location and being able to dock the boat right at the house was a huge plus! Also, just across the canal we could fuel the boat and purchase ice. Fun memories were made!

Perfect for our group

Boat dock was great for our boat & all fishing amenities were appreciated. Wish for an ice machine though. We very much enjoyed the pool & outdoor space. The kitchen was great for preparing our meals. Special bonus to see the manatees at Manatee Bay. Great stay!

A week with friends in the Keys

Beautiful house with ideal location - we enjoyed watching the boats go by and very easy/quick access to the Atlantic and only a few minutes to Vaca Cut for bay access. Pool and hot tub got lots of use daily and we ate dinner in the Tiki Hut almost every night. Thanks for having a very well equipped kitchen. All that and a mother and baby manatee off the dock - great trip!

Team Tampa Chillin in the Keys...

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pro's- Fabulous property that very comfortably accommodated our group of 10, and was our 3rd stay. Sipping margaritas while watching playoff hockey on twin big flat screens under the tiki hut was unbelievably cool.Leisure-party-privacy-fishing/boating...has it all covered.Great communications from the property management team.Sunsets from the 2nd fl.balcony at cocktail hour was amazing . Cons: Outside trash cans were not properly cleaned with...scum water in the bottom and swarming with flys on arrival.We quick scrum cleaned with bleach and took care of that. My wife paddle boards these beautiful waters and has to access via the ladder off the dock. Unfortunately the lower ladder was massively covered in barnacles and sea growth from being left below water level. I removed lower section and beat and scraped clean so she could enjoy boarding that day.A 9:00 am checkout is unreasonable and not an industry standard, though does get us ahead of the Saturday traffic. Was said the size of the house needs the added time to clean...maybe the size of clean crew needs to match the size of the house.All said, we do love Manatee Bay with 9+ rating and will be booking soon for Summer of 2022.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults and 4 children. The outside space is amazing. Enclosed pool, hot tub, and dining table. Lots of outdoor games that we really enjoyed. There were a couple of things that we didn’t like but are easily fixable. First would be blackout shades for the bedrooms. As soon as it starts getting light outside, you’re going to know. Second is the 0900 checkout. That’s way too early. The property management company was easy to deal with. We had a couple of issues and they quickly responded. Our family definitely recommends this house. We had a great time!!!
