The resort is beautiful, right on the beach on one side and the bay on the other. The rooms are very nice with living area and kitchenette. Many of the rooms are direct beach access. They offer free use of kayaks or paddle boards and there are pickleball courts and cornhole and ping pong tables available. That said they need to light these areas at night so they can be used after dark. The guest laundry is free. They have a small grill open only til 7 with canned beer and wine but would have loved a bar with blender drinks and cocktails and opened later. Restaurants are available about a mile away but are very busy every evening. The beach is wonderful with lots of seating options and umbrellas/cabanas. Very family friendly. The days we were there unfortunately there was quite an undertow and the waves knocked people down a lot trying to get in and out of the water unless you were able to time it just right. The hotel has free boogie boards as well that helps. The only other minor complaint is they should provide each room with a broom and dustpan or small vacuum as there is no way not to track in sand daily, and there is no daily housekeeping. If you want a quiet place to enjoy the beach or kayak away from the crowds I would definitely recommend the Manasota Key resort. Staff were all very helpful as well.

Terri Thank you for letting us be a part of your vacation! I appreciate giving a shot out to our staff (they work so hard to keep everything in good shape). I will double check the rooms for brooms, I appreciate you letting us know your room did not have one and I apologize for that. I hope to see you back soon

Exceptionally attractive and comfortable room with a fine little kitchen, good bed, lovely view. The room and facility were sparkling - super clean and fresh (unusual in many seaside motels and hotels we’ve stayed in), and the amenities - bikes, pool, miniature golf, beach chairs & umbrellas, sweet little bar and cafe, etc, etc - were well above average. The resort is near shopping, restaurants and other beaches - we will definitely return❣️

We were in an upper level 2 bdrm and we loved our place. Bldg 17 was overlooking the bay and had a large dock to walk out on. We watched dolphins swim by our dock; we loved the heated pool for evening swims, and there were plenty of chairs for the guests on the beach. Beautiful restaurant w/ a fire ring for cozy evenings. Kayaks and bike rentals for free was a bonus. Super friendly staff. We’ll be back.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 5 days and not once was our room cleaned/serviced. Even after we requested the room to be cleaned no one came. I would have just cleaned it myself but there wasn’t a thing to clean with. Our room was nice, but it was the weirdest place we’ve ever stayed at. Staff was friendly. Overall, I wouldn’t return.
