Gemütliches 1-Zimmer Refugium mit Veranda – Nahe Strände & Flughafen

Enjoy your stay at the Lazy Manatee Apt! We are conveniently 20 mins to Anna Maria Island and Sarasota Airport. We are also about 10 mins away from Manatee Memorial Hospital. Our one bedroom apartment is perfect for your long or short term stay. This apartment is situated within a small complex but does have its own private entrance and front porch.

The space is cozy and comfortable with everything you need for a short or long term stay. This apartment is a part of a small complex of 5 with a shared back yard space. This apartment is the only one with its own private porch and swing.

Everything inside the home is of course private. Everything outside of your unit including the community game room and backyard is a shared space.

We love interacting with our guests but that interaction is determined by you! Feel free to ask us anything about the area, we want you to have a great vacation! You may seldmonly see us on site, tending to the garden, visiting other guests etc and we will be sure to say hi!

A quiet and safe neighborhood just off the main road.

It is totally doable getting around by Uber but I always recommend renting a car to explore the area.

This apartment is a part of a small complex of 5 units. All your neighbors are guests like yourself and likely are traveling for work or pleasure. I do have one elderly man who lives in the east most apartment. He tends to the yard and takes care of our plants as well. He lives here full time and his privacy and right to a peaceful living environment should be respected.

Please note the check in time is 5pm, however I will always send the check in as soon as the home is ready. Most times, I am able to send the check in around 3pm however It is never a guarantee. We will always try our best to get you in as early as possible.

** A 4% CHARGE WILL APPLY FOR ANY CANCELLED RESERVATIONS***
Friendly Reminders Before Your Stay:

Third-Party Bookings:
If you’re booking on behalf of someone else, please let us know in advance. We’ll need their full name, phone number, and a valid photo ID before approval. While your own Airbnb account is verified, a third-party guest is not—so this extra step ensures safety and compliance for everyone. Many hosts do not allow third-party bookings, but we’re happy to accommodate them with proper verification.

Damages & Responsibility:
Please treat the home with care during your stay. The booking guest is responsible for any damages, late checkouts, or additional cleaning required.
This includes plumbing issues caused by flushing foreign objects, excessive toilet paper, or baby wipes. If a plumber is needed to remove a clog or restore service, the cost of that visit will be billed to you as damage reimbursement.

Pets:
We love hosting furry friends! Please let us know before arrival so we can include the pet fee(s), which covers the extra cleaning care they require.

The fee is per pet—if you’re bringing more than one, we’ll manually request the additional fee after your booking is confirmed.

If a pet arrives unannounced or undocumented, a $300 fee will automatically apply after check-in.

Cancellations:
This reservation is non-refundable. We recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your plans in case something unexpected comes up.

Smoking:
The home is non-smoking indoors. Smoking is welcome outside only—please use designated areas and dispose of butts responsibly. A minimum $500 fee applies for indoor smoke remediation.

Extended Stays (29+ Days):
Stays over 29 days must be requested and approved in advance. We’ll require your photo ID, email address, and a signed lease agreement confirming your check-in and check-out dates.

No security deposit is required; however, there is a $365 private insurance cost that will be requested after booking.

Your reservation is not fully secure until the lease and ID are received.

About Us:
Kosta Coast Vacations operates under Mitchell Dean Realty and is authorized by the homeowners to sign leases on their behalf.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about this process—there are no exceptions to these policies, and we’re always happy to help ensure a smooth stay.
