Beach Cottage In Paradise
We had a lovely stay at Sandy Toes. When we arrived the fridge was stocked with much appreciated drinks. The house was really lovely. The beach was super close. Our youngest learned to snorkel there and found many sharks' teeth. My only complaint is that we did not stay longer! My kids keep asking when we can go back!

Repeat Stay!
We were here for a long weekend earlier in the summer and loved it so much that we had to return and everything was just as lovely as the first visit! No detail is overlooked and the property is wonderful, just steps away from the beach, clean, and loaded with amenities to make you feel at home. Not to mention that these are some of the nicest beaches in Florida with something for everyone.

Home Away From Home
This place was amazing! You really do only need just your flip flops and clothes. They really think of everything from anything you need at the beach to shampoo and body wash plus way more. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Can't wait to book again!

Wonderful Stay!!
This was such a wonderful stay for my family and small dog. We had such a great time, paddle boarding, kayaking, shell collecting. Carol and Pete have thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. Pack a small bag and off you go, the unit is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Great location, about 2 minute walk to private beach, and 4 minute walk to Stump Pass park. The unit was super clean and very comfortable, possibly one of your best stops since using VRBO. We will visit again.

40th Anniversary Trip
We had the joy of staying at Water's Edge on the bay front for our 40th anniversary! The unit was as clean & lovely as pictured & described. We had an amazing week! We watched the 4th of July fireworks from the bay & enjoyed short walks to the beach for hunting shark's teeth & swimming. Pete and Carol are the best hosts and made us feel right at home!

Wonderful Stay!
We stayed in the Osprey Retreat, and it was wonderful! The rental was spotless and came with all of the amenities you could ever ask for on a beach retreat. Of all the rentals where our family has stayed, this one was top notch. Pete and Carol are excellent to work with and truly care about the vacationers that call their retreat home while staying on beautiful Manasota Key, and the goody basket is a nice surprise. This cozy nook is steps from the beach, and Pete and Carol make sure renters are provided with information on great places to eat and things to be sure to check out while visiting. We also enjoyed a fantastic lunch (and DOLE WHIP!!!) at the Beachcomber Trading Post. When we come back, we will be staying at the Beachcomber. It is a little slice of heaven.

Best Hosts on the Gulf Coast!
We’ve visited Manasota Key countless times in the past, but this is the first time we found a place to stay that feels just like home. Carol and Pete were warm & friendly, not to mention incredibly helpful. Be sure to stop by the Beachcomber for an amazing cup of coffee & breakfast to start your day! The beaches are pristine and the shoreline is littered with beautiful shells and shark teeth. Thanks for everything, we can’t wait to come back!!

Surf’s Up
By far our favorite place we have stayed for a vacation. The beach is steps away, We found sooo many shark teeth, the restaurants are within walking distance (great food), Surfs Up had every single thing you need stocked and absolutely gorgeous interior and the most beautiful landscaped courtyard with fire pits and grills. They have bikes and kayaks to use as well as beach toys. I didn’t want to leave :) We will definitely be going back. Thank you Carol for everything!

Fantastic Stay
Our family had a fantastic stay at this resort this past week. I will say even with booking this place, Carol, the owner, worked hard to find my family the right cottage and for the best deal. She immediately called me back if I needed to leave a message. She searched her properties and found us the perfect one. It was truly a wonderful place for us to have a vacation together. Trust me when I say that the owners have knocked it out of the park in terms of small details and personal touches to make your stay special. I cannot even name all the things that my family noticed that had been attended to before we even needed to ask. We stayed in the Royal Palm cottage and it was IMMACULATE. I am super fussy about cleanliness and this place was clean. The bed linens were very nice and the towels were great. All the things in the kitchen were new and gleaming. I felt very, very comfortable here. The beach is a short walk down the road and is absolutely incredible. I'm a native and know a fabulous beach when I see it. Each cottage is perfectly placed and the landscaping cleverly done so you cannot even tell if there are other guests. It is very private feeling and quiet. We cannot say enough nice things about this place and the owners. This was a memorable vacation for this grandma/mama and we will not soon forget our wonderful time here. Thank you so very, very much Carol. Stay here as you will not be disappointed. It truly is a resort feeling place and top notch.

This Is An Actual 5 Star Property
I hate the rating system on VRBO because of properties like this. This property is in the highest tier. Top 2% of the properties I have stayed at. Clean, easy access, parking, amenities, furnishings - sure all that. But it's the intangibles that set this property apart. A welcome basket, a spice rack, drinks in the fridge, shampoo in the shower both inside and out, nice towels, beach toys, the list goes on. I know none of these things seem like a big deal but it's all of these and more that show a level of care by the owner to provide a great experience. If we come back to Manasota Key, I won't be looking at other options - I am booking this place again.

A Perfect Stay
Our stay at Beachcomber Bungalows of Manasota Key was wonderful. The 6-night stay, Apr. 22 - Apr. 28, 2024, could not have been better in the Bungalow named Gulfside Getaway. The unit was spotless with all the inside amenities we needed plus the unexpected welcome basket of added items, was over the top. What makes this facility unique is the exceptional landscaping that makes this feel like a tropical resort, with private out of doors seating areas and its location only a short block from the beach. Special items supplied for guests include bicycles, paddle board, kayaks, and gas grills for each unit. The owners could not be more accommodating.

A Perfect Girl's Weekend!
This place was everything it advertised, clean, comfortable, steps from the beach, a cute little outdoor shower to rinse off after a beach visit, even some drinks and snacks available upon arriving, it was so nice! The staff is super friendly and communicative. We rode bikes to dinner and lunch, (Beachcomber Trading Post is the best of the breakfast and lunch options!) and walked to Stump Pass, even found a megalodon tooth! I'm already planning a return trip!

The Perfect Place To Relax!
Second time at this house , and we absolutely love, love it! The house is perfectly cleaned and stocked and decorated beautifully! It has easy access to the beach just across the street! The backyard is also our favorite little place to enjoy after the beach or in the evenings! They were super easy to book with and so so friendly! Would highly recommend!

It’s Been 3 Weeks And I’m STILL Talking About It
This has got to be one of the BEST places we’ve stayed. Immediately felt at home and the little touches made a huge difference. The additional things that come with the location make this a fantastic stay. Our daughters took out the kayak and had a close experience with lots of dolphins. They will always remember the experience. The bikes were used every morning and we stopped by their restaurant to enjoy b’fast and lunch 3 days of our trip. The beach was not far and we found many teeth. Such a fantastic trip. I will be booking again.

A Wonderful Time At Beachcomber
My family and I had the most wonderful time at the Beachcomber in Manasota!! This property is immaculate! Everything was spotless when we arrived. What a pleasure to stay here. All the surroundings so well kept and just impeccable. Truly the owners know how to run and keep their lovely property. Thank you Carol!

Wonderful Spot!
This property was in a great location: it was super close to the beach and close enough to bike or walk to restaurants, but not too close to the "downtown" area so that it was still really quiet and peaceful at night. We could hear the waves from the porch! The accommodations were immaculate - super clean and organized with absolutely everything you might need. Carol was a wonderful and gracious host, and we were so happy that our dog Cody was welcome too. We've already recommended this location to our family and friends and hope to be able to come back sometime soon ourselves! Thank you!

Paradise At The Beach
This was a picture perfect vacation - after years of searching for the right paradise to return to annually we finally found it! Cozy and quiet - with lush landscaped grounds, every detail has been considered. The property is immaculate, organized, well stocked, comfortable and oh so close to the beach! Bikes, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, beach carts, beach towels and everything you need for a day at the ocean. Seriously, just bring flip flops and bathing suit and some sunscreen - and the rest is on site, waiting for you! Carol is a responsive and helpful host. We had a problem with one of the TV remotes and she replaced it in a flash. She helped us with local recommendations, especially the local free Stumpy shuttle to restaurants and more - a must! The welcome book and appliance guide were an event planner's (me) dream come true. The beachcomber's new restaurant on the bay was delightful for breakfast and lunch. The trading post had plenty of fun beach items too. Groceries were a breeze just over the bridge, easy to fill out the fridge. Oh - and - Don't miss the locals celebrating sundown with the sounding of the conch shells! We will be back - again and again - can't wait!

Perfection
We stayed 4 nights and loved everything about this place. We walked maybe 1/8 of a mile to the beach daily and used the provided beach carts, chairs, umbrella to get us and our stuff back and forth. We walked about 1/2 mile to the nearby restaurants and enjoyed music every night. The bungalow is quiet, clean and has everything needed to relax and recharge. Thank you for creating this place for us to enjoy!

Top Notch!
Surf’s Up is the cleanest, brightest, most organized condo that we have ever stayed in! The owners have decorated (both inside and outside ) to make this condo super cute and comfortable! Close beach access, bikes, kayaks, fire pit, and great porch make it perfect. Good communication with the owner…walking distance to some restaurants and a short drive to get groceries and to visit other restaurants. We would love to come back!

Great Location, Property And Amenities
Stayed in Seagull Landing, 1080 Gulf Drive, great location at end of island one block off beach, very close to state park. Having the bikes, beach gear, and kayaks to use was a nice perk. Best part about property is that the owners take extra care to make sure all is well with your stay. Glad to know about this place and all the others that are part of Beachcomber of Manasota Key. Would like to return and stay in one on the beach in the future!

All of their properties are first class and spotless. We stayed at a fourplex which was immaculate and decorated beautifully.

Carol was in contact with me before and after we arrived. She gave recommendations and what to expect. When we arrived there was a welcome basket and a book of recommendations. The condo was well stocked with equipment (bikes, kayaks, chairs and even an umbrella) and kitchen supplies. Stump Pass Beach was a 5 minute walk away. There are outside showers to wash off when you get back.Cannot recommend Carol enough 😊

Every Aspect Of Our Stay Exceeded Our Expectations!
From the accommodations, the amenities, the special gift basket, the beach access, the available recreational items (bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas), it was all 5 star. Communication before, during, and after our stay was top notch. It gave me peace of mind knowing what to expect ahead of time as well as knowing that someone was available if we needed anything. Location was great for local activities and restaurants. My family had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to come back!

Serenity
The feeling when we pulled up was, this feels comfy. Going inside we were impressed by the cleanliness and loved the beach decor. It was a short and shady walk to the beach. My friend and I took her mother with us and we all loved the peaceful stay. We were on our first shark tooth hunting adventure. Sure enough in one day we found over a 100 between 2 of us! There is a "toy box" that had almost anything you could want for a day on the beach. I used the sturdy sand sifter all day to hunt for teeth. Also, there is an excess of shells that wash up daily. Really an interesting beach to explore and happy place to stay! There are a few restaurant/bars a few blocks away and we were not disappointed. A great time was had by all!

Wonderful First Time In Manasota
This was our first time in Manasota Key and it was amazing. The property was absolutely great! Completely stocked and every little detail taken care of. Carol, the host of Beachcomber properties, was exceptional. We tried out their food truck at the entrance of the island and greatly recommended… early breakfast by the water with good food and coffee cannot be beat! We traveled with our beagle and we found there is a dog beach in South Venice (about 20 min away) and had a great day. We will back!

One of Our Best Vacations
My husband and I just had the most wonderful vacation at the Beachcomber in Manasota Key. Our cottage, Periwinkle Place, was perfect…the pre-arrival instructions were very well done and helpful, the cottage was decorated with the perfect beach motif, a welcoming basket full of goodies added to feeling most welcome. It’s truly a 3 minute walk to the beautiful beach. Beach carriers, chairs and umbrellas are provided. Wonderful restaurants are within a short drive…5-10 minutes. Put Magnolia’s on the Bay on your “must go” list! We’ll definitely return to Periwinkle Place! 5 stars!

Wonderful Vacation Spot!
Wonderful vacation spot! We visited with two adults and two teenage girls, and the size was perfect for us. The girls loved the snack basket on arrival and we enjoyed the drinks. The house was outfitted with almost every item you could need. We drove a distance so it was nice that there were so many things we didn't have to pack. From kitchen items, spices, board games, sand toys, kayaks and so much more! The whole place was very neat and clean, updated and comfortable. The beach was a very short walk, the bay was up the street to launch kayaks, we saw dolphins several times very close, we saw baby turtles leaving their nest in the state park. The girls found a jar of shark teeth, and tons of shells! Very great place to stay.

* * * ~ ABOUT US ~ * * *
Pete & I both love the beach and all it has to offer! After lots of searching up and down the east and west coasts of Florida, we feel that we have discovered the best location for our beach retreats & bungalows in the quiet city of Englewood on Manasota Key. We have found our “little slice of paradise” and can’t wait to share it with you!
We are “living the dream” here on Manasota Key! Our days are filled...walks on the beach, shell & shark tooth hunting, swimming, friendly folks, watching the osprey, bike riding, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating with friends and watching some amazing sunsets. Everyday is an outdoor adventure day on Manasota Key!
Our north property was purchased in June 2016 and has 4 retreats. We have totally renovated inside & out. The best part about this property is the location to the beach...150 walking steps. We created a tropical oasis in the backyard with lush landscaping around 2 paver patios and our signature surfboard shower with hot & cold water.
Our south property was purchased in December 2016. We tackled renovations inside & out and were ready for our first guests in January 2017. The best part about this property is each retreat’s semi-private patio area that includes their own outdoor gas grill. For larger families or guests, we created a community area at the center of the property where they can gather to just relax, eat or hang out.
Beachcomber Bungalows is located between our south and north properties and was purchased in 2018. This location opened for guests in November 2019 after a year of extensive renovations. Each bungalow has its own semi-private outdoor area complete with outdoor seating and a gas grill.
Beachcomber Hideaways is located to the west of our Bungalows. Completely renovated inside & out, this property welcomed its first guests in February 2021. Set amid lush tropical plantings, the Hideaways are definitely “hidden away”!
Beachcomber Bayfront of Manasota Key is located on beautiful Lemon Bay. Enjoy your front row seat to each and every fantastic sunrise! This property was purchased in October of 2021 and has been hosting happy guests ever since.
Our Bayfront property also includes boat slips that can be rented when you book a stay at any of our properties. The slip rental includes electricity, ice, fish cleaning station w/running water, and trailer parking. Now you can bring your boat on vacation!
We have started our own property management company along the way to bring the “personal touch” to your vacation. From the moment you arrive at one of our retreats until the moment you leave, our goal is to ensure that you have the best possible vacation experience!
You will find yourself with wonderful memories that will make you want to return again and again!!!!
