Review from James Marable
The home was as advertised and accurately reflected the photos in the listing. The location on Manasota Key was excellent, with easy access to the beach, nearby shopping, and restaurants. We were also fortunate to visit during sea turtle nesting season, which made the trip even more memorable.
During our stay, we experienced two minor issues. The air conditioning system malfunctioned, but Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals responded quickly, and the system was repaired within 24 hours. Later in the week, construction crews accidentally damaged a cable line serving the property. Once again, Gulf Coast responded promptly, and cable and internet service were restored quickly.
Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals was very easy to work with throughout the rental process. While no vacation property is completely free of unexpected issues, what stood out was how quickly and professionally everything was handled.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily rent this property again.

Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed and generous 5-star review — it truly means everything to us!
We're so glad the property was exactly as described and that Manasota Key delivered on all fronts — beach access, local restaurants, shopping and the incredible bonus of sea turtle nesting season! That really is one of nature's most special experiences and we love that you got to witness it during your stay. ????
We also want to acknowledge your patience and understanding during the two unexpected issues. You're absolutely right that no property is completely free of surprises — what matters most to us is how quickly and professionally we respond when they arise. We're so pleased our team was able to get the air conditioning repaired within 24 hours and restore the cable and internet service promptly after the construction incident. Your kind words about how those situations were handled mean the world to our team.
We cannot wait to welcome you back to Manasota Key — hopefully with clear skies, calm seas and maybe even another sea turtle sighting! ????☀️
Warm regards,

This might be the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! Can I book the cleaner for my own home?! Would 100% book again, and not only because of the cleanliness. It was well-appointed with everything we needed to cook, and you can’t beat the views and location. We saw manatees and dolphins from the porch, and enjoyed how easy it was to walk out the Airbnb door right to the beautiful beach. Best view in Manasota Key.
Host response
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear this was the cleanest Airbnb you’ve ever stayed in—that truly means a lot, and we’ll be sure to pass along the compliment to the cleaning staff!
It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen, the stunning views, and the unbeatable location. Seeing manatees and dolphins right from the porch is such a special experience—we’re so glad you got to enjoy that!
We really appreciate your kind words and would love to host you again anytime. Thanks for choosing to stay with us!

Review from Maureen Kick
We had a great vacation here. The house was spacious, extremely clean and beautifully decorated. It was well stocked with everything you would need. The kitchen was large and great to cook in. The views from the living room, bedroom and porch were amazing. It was close to all the restaurants and right on the beach. The house to the north is under construction right now, and there was some noise and activity going on there every day of our vacation. However, the owner let us know about it ahead of time and offered a refund if we wanted. It wasn't a big deal to us, there is construction going on all over the island right now, and it didn't affect our ability to use the beach or porch. However, if you are looking for something very quiet, you might want to wait until the construction is finished.
Host response
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great vacation and enjoyed the spacious layout, cleanliness, décor, and well-stocked kitchen. It’s great to know the views and beachfront location made your stay even more special.
We also truly appreciate your understanding regarding the nearby construction. As noted, we always do our best to communicate this in advance so guests can make the best decision for their stay.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad it didn’t take away from your overall experience. We would love to welcome you back again once everything in the area is complete for an even more relaxing stay!

Beautiful beach front home with amazing sunset views. We loved relaxing on the porch. Very clean, well stocked and extra towels. I would absolutely recommend. Beach chairs and umbrella are provided. The chairs are the low style that sit very close to the sand. FYI They are currently building a new house next door to this property so expect occasional construction noise. They don’t start work until 8am and it never created a problem for us.

This has to be one of the most beautiful houses we have ever stayed in. Extremely clean and well kept. The location is perfect right on the beach. Incredible view from the balcony, living room and bedroom. Great to wake up in the morning with the shutters open and seeing the incredible Gulf of America! We did get to meet the owners who are very nice people. Very good restaurants and nightlife just down the road only about a half a mile away. Nice to be able to go out at night and hear bands playing at the Sandbar. We will definitely rent this place again every year over and over again.
