This. Property. Is. A. Gem. Period. Full stop.
First of all, âManasota Key Retreat with free use of bikes and paddle boardâ RESTORED OUR FAITH IN VRBO 5-star RATINGS, with regards to cleanliness.
This property checked our biggest box: it is clean, Clean, CLEAN!!!!!
You are staying in someoneâs home-away-from their year âround home. Who care about their home. It shows!
Quite honestly, the ownerâs care and attention made it a privilege for us to take care of the property as well as we do our own, if not better!
Our small dog positively reveled in being able to sunbathe out on the screened lanai (NO worries about hawks!) and Bark Beach is close enough we were able to visit for sunsets very conveniently. Lemon Bay Preserve and Shamrock Park are also a hop, skip and small jump away.
The beds are comfy, the air conditioning system superb, the kitchen had everything we needed and the neighborhood is so nice and quiet it was a real treat to be able to take a long dog walk down the wide road without having to worry about traffic. And, for our small dog, the yard is huge, by coastal property standards. Wonderfully-friendly neighbors on both sides and the ownerâs property manager Ron is positively outstanding with communications. (Weâve done VRBO for awhile now and rapid communications is a big help in avoiding small issues turning into bigger ones, unnecessarily.)
We are already booked for next year so, THAT should say it all! thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
