This contemporary house with its eclectic furnishings is a unique experience. New management is trying very hard to rectify the lack tender loving care provided by preceding management. But even with any remaining shortcomings this house is something you have to live in to really appreciate. We had a very memorable stay!

this was, by far, the most beautiful house we’ve ever stayed in. everything was 100% perfect and we had the best time. the dock, the pool, all of the beautiful terrain - well thought out, immaculate additions to the house we rented. we will definitely be back. seriously, just book this house. it’s that good.

Really enjoyed the house. The pictures don’t do it justice, much nicer in person.

What a perfect place to relax and unwind. The two of us spent a week here with our son, his girlfriend and our dog in this gorgeous and very private place. Initially I did not feel the need to leave this place but the first short trip to the private beach convinced me that a morning at the pool and afternoon at the beach makes for a great routine. The house itself is beautiful and well equipped in everything you may need, including three different espresso machines, Nespresso was our favorite. The area is quiet and not touristy, perfect for those who want to escape the crowds. We had a wonderful time here!

The house is beautiful and the location is one of the prettiest places we've vacationed in Florida. The house has everything you could possibly need. The location with beach access, dock on the bay, and pool with Cabana - you couldn't ask for more.

This home is beautiful the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s very secluded and has magnificent views. The dock is shared however we saw only one person using it our entire stay and it was perfect for fishing and watching the sunrise. It also has its own private access to the beach right across the street. It’s not a spot you can do anything more then watch the sunset because it’s rocky and has very little sand that isn’t covered by water. It’s a very short walk on the road or in the water to get to the public beach so it was not an issue for us, but we don’t have small children. We had some minor issues but the management team was very responsive and took care of everything quickly. My only complaint was it wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been when we arrived. A bit disappointing but wouldn’t stop me from vacationing there again.

This was our second year at this property. The house itself is amazing - it is secluded and private, has grand rooms with floor to ceiling windows, and feels like your own resort. The backyard area is great for lounging and spending time relaxing. The property itself is fantastic. Since our stay last year, the more minor details of the house have been forgotten. These could normally be overlooked, but there were so many it is hard to not have them add up. New patio furniture was delivered while we were there which was a nice change, however some still is old and worn. The kitchen has every appliance you could imagine but lacks basics such as cutlery for a small group. Bedding on the guest beds is very thin and worn. There are many, many lights burned out outside the property - which made arrivals to the house in the evening very dark. We had to call for a special garbage pickup as it was overflowing when we arrived. There was no skimmer for the pool which caused many leaves in debris in the pool – to the point we were unable to use it until the pool company came. Bathrooms lacked of washcloths. We would happily stay at this property again, but hope the managers give it the time and attention it needs and deserves first.

This architectural delight has soaring ceilings, floor-to ceiling window walls, eclectic eastern and ethnic interior furnishings. Creature comforts of A/C, heating (we had some unusually chilly days and nights) and hot water were all great. The privacy is superb as there are truly no neighbors. The mangrove and the dock (no bird droppings at all due to protective fishing line preventing birds from landing on railings!) were wonderful. Abundant bird activity on Lemon Bay was a treat. Management staff was quick to address most concerns which arose and were especially helpful for my child with pet allergies by graciously and quickly purchasing/laundering new sheets and comforters quickly to replace for us. We were and are very grateful. My mistake to fail to notice when booking that this property is pet friendly.Problems/issues: Many lightbulbs out (over 12) throughout the house. Handyman fixed most 2 days after our request. Countless landscape lights not working. 3 or more pet urine carpet stains in master bedroom. Countless dog hairs in comforters. 2 pet or water stains on fabric chair in Red bedroomCouch: stylish white microfiber, but dirty with black marks from hands/spills. Beds were all far too soft (VERY)for our liking. WiFi download 30 Mbps, upload 3mpbs—no lagging. Strong odor in refrigerator (fish?). Security cams in rooms felt creepy to us, but manager assured they are not connected during our stay. 2 of 3 kitchen stools won’t raise, so are useless for sitting at the island. Empty NG tanks for barbecue, replaced within a day.Multiple loose doorknobs. Kitchen drawers stick/squeak a lot.Fisher + Paykel (= Frequent + Problems) dishwasher--unable to use bottom drawer due to red caution light and poor fit in island--drawer scrapes floor when opening, so rendered unusable. Outdoor garbage cans are NOT animal proof, need much better latch. Animal got into garbage 3 of 7 nights--mess. On the asthetic side: grass in backyard needs water and a bit of fertilizer, nearly dead in dry season. In sum, we loved the ambience, the serenity, the light and the privacy. The soaring glass windows, the tasteful and unonstentatious decor and art, the minimalist design and the property's integration with nature are unparalleled. This was not enough for us to overcome the sense that 'the castle was in disrepair.' Maintenance is necessary. Clean upholstery would be great (felt dirty). Uncomfortable.

Very beautiful property. Everything in nice condition. Very quiet and relaxing. I don't think they were part of the beach reclamation project as the beach access sport was mostly gone or under water when we tried to utilize it. The Manasota Beach park, just down the road was a nice alternative.

Would definitely recommend. Excellent property for a family vacation. Had a great time. Access to a private beach and the dock was great to view wildlife.

We visited with two children ages 8 and 10 and our nanny. The home was amazing. We were 1,000% comfortable and felt like we were in our own private high end resort. The pool was fabulous, private beach across the street we couldn’t access due to the tide being too high at all times. We ended up driving to Siesta Key which was a beautiful beach! It was one of the most relaxing spots I’ve been to, can’t wait to return next year!!

During the pandemic, with 2 family members at very high risk, we were looking for a peaceful easy safe home to gather. We got that and much much more. We are so very very grateful of the owner sharing her beautiful home with this military family.

We had a wonderful time enjoying this beautiful home on Manasota Key. Accommodations were perfect for a large mostly adult family. We appreciated all the kitchen and dining since we were homebound due to the Covid 19 Virus. We enjoyed the sunrises on the dock, dolphins a few times. And sunsets across the street on gulf side.. Only issue was neighbor across the street was not friendly and told us it was private property when we pursued the beach. Other than that it was magnificient! Thank you!

Fabulous house with a great pool and privacy. Close to all the Manasota Key beaches and restaurants. Beautiful grounds and very quiet. House is well equipped and very roomy.

Amazingly peaceful! Was the perfect spot for our family!

This is an amazing property. We felt as though we were at our own private resort during our ten days spent here. The outdoor area is where we spent most of our time sunning in the loungers and relaxing in the cabana. The kitchen was furnished with everything we could imagine, and the master bedroom & bath is a great size. We had six adults and everyone had their own space. We spent time fishing and dolphin watching off the dock. Due to the tide, the beach across the road was only present at certain times of the day, but the drive to the other beaches on Manasota Key is not bad. The pictures do not do the property justice. We hope to return to this property again in the future!

We enjoyed our time and loved walking across the street to the private beach! It is a quiet area, and the people in the houses along the beach were friendly. The house is spacious, open with high ceilings, and eclectic decor. There are three large bedrooms, a nice dining room where we had family dinners, and a huge family room. The tv’s were too complicated for my liking with several remotes for each one. The town does not have nice shopping but we went to Sarasota for that. The guys found several golf courses they enjoyed. The beach is beautiful but there were days the tide covered it in its entirety! It did not stop us from hunting shark teeth which can be found in abundance. The agent was great to work with, and the overall experience was wonderful!

Beautiful week on Manasota Key. Villa was spacious and clean. Needing a few updates such as pool cushions and pier chairs. The pier was a little messy. However it was absolutely beautiful setting. It would be wonderful if the mangroves were cut back to show the view. It was really obstructed with the overgrowth. Thank you formsharing your slice of paradise. Morning walks on the beach and sunrise on the pier.

This was a beautiful property and we felt it was even nicer than the pictures showed. It is very tastefully decorated to a very high standard. We really enjoyed fishing on the dock and going to the beach across the road from the property.
