Coconut Club II is the Bomb!
Review Submitted: June 3, 2009

We can't say enough good things about this place. We have stayed across the road from the beach in Manasota Key, and after having a taste of being just steps away from the ocean, we're hooked forever. Sally & Jon, the owners were flexible, outstanding & always available if needed. We want to come back here every year if possible & will be telling our friends/family about this place (although we are torn about spreading the word because we feel that it's our own hidden treasure). Another positive is that there are 3 units in this tri-plex & so you can have a vacation with extended family & still have privacy if desired. The screened in porch on the top unit is fabulous and we enjoyed many beautiful, sunny days, as well as evenings by candlelight with the new friends we made who stayed in that unit. Sal & Jon provide most things that you'll need, including beach chairs, a sand flea catcher & fishing poles (if you're a fisherman), charcoal grill, washer & dryer on the second floor, along with a pretty well stocked kitchen. The unit was very clean & the kitchen/living room get great sunlight & have great views of the ocean, however there are blinds on all the windows if you like more privacy & less sunlight. The only small thing that we wished was different in our unit were the twin beds, as we are a married couple. We made it work by pushing the beds together & it was well worth that sacrifice with all the other positives. My husband thought the bedroom air conditioner worked excellent. When we got home to our own bedroom, he said he missed the "perfect temperature" of our vacation bedroom :) The beach loungers & umbrellas were a great addition, especially when you wanted to bake in the sun or get a break from it. :) We enjoyed Sharkey's on the Pier restaurant (great atmosphere) & Luna restaurant in Venice. There is a Wal-Mart & a couple of grocery stores within a 10 minute drive or less. We fished right off the beach in front of our unit & enjoyed beautiful Stumps Pass Park, which is walking distance from Coconut Club II. We had a beautiful walk in the waters of Lemon Bay & heard that many people have seen Manatees in the bay. We saw many sea urchins & some live shells. Wear your water shoes if you're going to walk in the bay. My husband found his share of shark's teeth on the beach. We didn't choose to go far from our own private paradise. Thank you Sal & Jon!
