Manasota Key holiday

This place is just great! Stock up at the grocery store on your way in because once you arrive you will not want to leave! Our week long stay was thoroughly enjoyable. I was hesitant about the rental prepayment arrangement by check rather than credit card. However, I learned that the owners are extremely genuine and made our rental transaction seamless, otherwise. It was everything they said it would be. Bill called to check in on us to make sure all was well and he really encouraged us to enjoy the house and its ammenities rather than imposing restrictions on what we could or couldn't do during our stay. The large, open floor plan of the house is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is gigantic and has plenty of surface space to work with and to lay out a spread for a large group without anybody tripping over each other. The view of the beach, through the multiple sliding glass doors, is magnificent, as soon as you walk through the front door, and you will enjoy it while cooking or working from inside. (We brought our own laptops: beware the internet signal and cell signals are not reliable should you absolutely need to conduct business.) Watching the waves roll up to the sand, the dolphins surfacing out in the gulf, and the spectacular sunsets were exciting even for us and we are 25 year Florida residents. The house was clean, very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need to prepare meals and to enjoy the beach. The boat dock across the street is a great bonus feature to explore the bay side. This is real, old Florida at its best. The pictures don't do the place justice. We will definitely be back!
