Everything about our stay was great…Kirsten was very responsive, plenty of room for our family, and great beach access!Will definitely look to stay again!
This house has it all. A quiet neighborhood, a beautiful heated pool, TV’s in all 3 bedrooms and a 3 minute walk to the beach. The hosts are great and responsive. We always love staying here.
The Sand Dollar was a wonderful place to stay with our two young children and parents. The pool was perfect and the walk to the beach was incredibly easy and quick. The beach was very private and beautiful. We enjoyed looking for shark teeth and tried to beat another person’s record in the guest book - 2000. But we fell short - if we didn’t have young kids that needed naps we would have beat the record for sure! The home has almost everything you need. There is a free golf cart shuttle that will come pick you up certain hours of the day, which we used several times. A very convenient location to restaurants and town. We would stay here again for sure.
Property was in great shape with all necessary items to have a lovely vacation. Beach was very close and easy to pop over to for a couple minutes or a couple hours.
Beautiful home in an excellent area and very close to the beach! We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to the beach anytime we wanted and to have the ability to return at anypoint for naps for the little one! Excellent communication and easy check in! The house also had beach chairs, an umbrella and coolers to use as well! The pool was great as well to relax in while at the house!
Spent a great week at the property in Manasota Key! Beach was beautiful and private, pool and home were clean and accommodating! Host has everything you need for pool and beach, we really enjoyed our stay!
The house has plenty of room for our family of 2 adult couples and 2 kids. It was clean, with sufficient amenities, the pool was great, private, quiet, and very close to the beach. It was just what we were looking for.
Lovely house, great communication, beautiful beaches
We enjoyed our stay, the house was comfortable, we loved the screened pool area and proximity to the beach. We also appreciated good communication and easy check in process. Local restaurants and beaches were lovely. We're wishing all local residents recovering from last fall's hurricane the very best and are looking forward to visiting again.
Comfortable stay, the pool area was lovely and the beach we had deeded access to was tops for the key. Owner was very responsive to questions during our stay.
Great location, easy access to mainland. Private pool is fantastic. Easy walk to the beach. Hosts are quick to respond, accessible, and truly caring towards their guests.
Would definitely return!
Property exactly as described. Just a short walk to the beach, and a nice pool to relax in as well. House had everything we needed and then some. Owner is very responsive and great to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time… The house has plenty of room and is very clean and also has a heated pool. We did some fishing off the beach we caught a few fish including a couple sharks what an awesome time we had!!
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! We walked the beach every morning and watched the sun set every night. We saw dolphins as we kayaked in the bay! And had excellent food and spirits at both the Lockn Key and the White Elephant. Our down time by the pool was so relaxing. What a great way to spend time together with family!
We had a great time staying here on our vacation! The home was clean and had several daily items (paper cups, spices/seasonings, etc) on hand that other homes we have stayed in didn’t have. Kirsten was very informative and easy to communicate with. The pool was wonderful, the kids had a blast! The beach is a short walk from the home, which is great. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Kirsten and Jeremy were perfect hosts. The house was super clean and well stocked. Plenty of towels, dishes, and cooking staples. Florida is super-hot in July and August, but the air conditioner kept everything nice and cool. The pool is a nice addition as well. Thanks for a nice time!
House was amazing and just what we were looking for. Spent hours upon hours in the pool and you could see the bay as you floated in the water. House has everything you would need and more. Beach was a short walk away. Golf cart shuttle will pick you up and drop you off to any restaurant up the road. Awesome happy hour specials at all the bars with Lock & Key bring the most fun with the scratchers. Already planning a return trip!
Those pool was soo nice! The house was older but well maintained and very clean! The only complaint was the dishwasher door was missing a spring to prevent it from falling open and it didn’t dry the dishes well. Overall very pleased!
