Well kept, clean and quite roomy unit. Conveniently located close to dining and beaches but wonderfully peaceful and relaxing. We loved having our dog Roy with us. Definitely a plus! Scot and Paula were amazing and made the stay easy and pleasant!

We had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the Starfish in room 1B. The pictures are exactly on point. The living area is actually larger than it looks. One thing that we did not know until we arrived was this is an UPSTAIRS unit. Fortunately it was just my daughter and I and not my parents as they would not have been able to get to the room. We brought our Golden Retriever and he had a great time. Grass areas are limited but are available. Another “good to know” is there is not a code on the door to get in - you will have to download an app and use your mobile device - you can add other phones to lock/unlock the door- but will need to let Scot know each person’s #. We did not access the beach from the Starfish as we went to the part of the beach my parents were staying instead. The beach is located across the street and probably a 5-7 minute walk. Lastly, there are GREAT restaurants in the area - don’t miss the beach vibe with yummy food at the Sand Bar and breakfast at The Word of Mouth.

Exactly as described. Great location.

The rental was super clean. It was exactly as described. We got a little confused finding the beach entrance, but once we did it was only a few minute walk to the water. Great location! Easy check in. Will stay again!

Great mini vacation!!!

Property was very clean and welcoming. Lots of extras that we were not expecting (boogy boards, beach chairs, sifters, umbrella). The beach is just a short walk away from the property. Kitchen stocked nicely and beds were super comfortable! Property owner was very responsive when I had questions. Will definitely be staying again.

Shirt stay

The property looked exactly like pictures, clean and organized. The only issues we had were there was a smell probably due to an older building by the water; and our beach access was taken away on the 2nd day due to hurricane damage so that was disappointing. Great location love Manasota!

Great olace

This was a great place to stay for our first trip to Manasota Key. The location was far from restaurants or activities so we drove to everything (we just didn’t know the area). The beach is a short walk across the street but the beach is small and tide stayed high. The condo was very clean, no complaints there at all. I will say the listing says it’s recently renovated but in 2020, so the wear is starting to show again. Either way, we recommend this place for a couple or small family. The owners were responsive up front and we needed nothing during our visit. Manasota Key is a great place to visit and I am hopeful we will be back!

Where’s the beach?

We chose this rental because it was advertised as being 250 steps to a private beach. The property itself was clean, keyless entry was awesome and it was well equipped. There was only one problem. We weren’t able to find the beach access. We contacted the owner, they told us we needed to walk down the road until we came to a blue building on the right and a stockade fence on the left. We should follow the fence down to the beach. This walk was approximately 1/2 mile. No 250 steps! We then learned that there was an access code to get to the beach right across the street. This was never disclosed to us when we rented. Upon request, the owner gave us the code and said that it shouldn’t be too bad during low tide. We went to check our access only to discover there was caution tape across the top of the steps going down and no beach. Needless to say, we tried to make the most of the situation and walked our 1/2 mile to the beach. On one of our last days as we were walking home from the beach a woman approached us in her vehicle and accused us of trespassing on private property. I tried to explain that we were renters and this is where we were told to go to gain access to the beach. This made for a very uncomfortable situation. I did mention to the owner that we were disappointed but there was no mention of any type of compensation. I did notice that the property is now advertised as having a 5 minute walk to the beach. It’s helpful to others but it’s too late for us.
