We stayed 4 nights at this absolutely beautiful property. The home was clean, bright, homey and welcoming. We rode the bikes to and from the beach twice a day (2-3 minute ride)d loved both indoor and outdoor spaces at the unit. We will DEFINITELY book again!
Our family of four had a fantastic stay at this condo. It was incredibly clean and had wonderful amenities. We loved the kayaks and bikes. The location was perfect and the beach access was close by. We look forward to booking here again!
This property truly exceeded all expectations! The house was spotless and beautifully decorated, with all the conveniences you could need. Thoughtful touches, like snacks and a bottle of wine, made us feel incredibly welcome. We loved the outdoor space and screened-in patio, perfect for relaxing. Great location âwithin easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants, yet peaceful and quiet. The hosts were exceptional, with excellent communication and an impressive renovation after the 2024 hurricane damage. They didnât miss a single detail. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
Booked last minute and we were quite impressed. Very clean. Nicely organized and stocked with extras. Small, but fit two adults and a 5 yo for our sleeping very well.
Impeccable cleanliness, wonderful location and attention to detail âŠ.with more than everything you could possibly need available! Many thanks for a spectacular vacation! We will be back!
We loved this beach house and can't wait to return. We flew to Florida with minimal items to avoid extra luggage costs and they had thought of everything you would need for a great time enjoying the ocean - coolers, sand toys, beach cart, umbrellas, etc. My favorite were the bikes and kayaks though!
Our family of 3 stayed at the Shorebird property and it is as advertised. Cozy and clean with all the amenities. Close to beaches and with the use of kayaks and paddleboards as part of the stay I would highly recommend. Hosts were great and answered any questions very quickly. We would definitely stay again!
Our family had a great time staying at this location. Super nice and clean, close to the beach and all the needed amenities. Highly recommend and we will book again in the future.
Perfect spot for our girls trip. Only needed snacks, sunscreen, and ourselves. The house is a short walking distance to the beaches and restaurants. All beach necessities are thought of and the outside showers, grills, and patio are perfect for a relaxing night.
Oyster Catcher at Shorebird is a must stay! From
The second we arrived, everything was 5 star! So many amenities and well thought out information. Bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, games⊠never needed anything in addition to what was provided. We appreciated the snacks, bottle of wine, stocked supplies - even down to sunscreen. Our girls trip to Manasota Key was just what we needed. We loved the enclosed porch and the privacy that the cottages offered. We will for sure be back! Our first (and not last) stay was amazing! Thank you for your attention to detail to make guests feel so special and welcomed!
Beautiful cozy home away from home. This place really did have everything you needed. I mean everything. Additionally, this place was beyond clean! Iâve been vacationing in FL for 18 years and this place is by far the best!
This property set the tone of our spring break vacation. It was a girls trip/spring break for my high school senior and her BF. I invited a long time girlfriend. The cottage was well decorated, simple but perfect in it's space. We spent most of our time outside on our screened in porch and around the fire pit. What really put it over the top for us was the beach amenities, ie: beach chairs, cart, kayaks, beach toys etc. Everything was quality and well taken care of. Location was great!... Situated between Stump Pass Park (which is a must!) and the restaurant/bars. Easy walks to the beach. We would definitely stay there again. I wouldn't even look for another property. BTW - it was our first time on Manisota Key and we loved it!
You will not be disappointed in your stay here. Fully appointed kitchen, comfortable furnishings, awesome screened porch and you can walk to everything!!
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed and then some. Updated and clean; well stocked with towels and linens and kitchen stuff. Loved the outdoor amenities as well. We will be back!
Loved staying here!
Great location and have everything you can think of to enjoy your beach vacation.
Very clean and cozy! We enjoyed the screened in porch and outdoor fire pit.
The owners were exceptional.
My family has wanted to come to Manasota Key for many years and I am so thankful we found Shorebird!! We stayed here with 17 people, we all agreed that this was perfect and met all needs for our large group. Upon arrival the snacks and wine were a huge hit! Right away we felt welcomed and at home. We were able to put the bags down and walk a few blocks to the beach. We loved the location, so safe and quiet, just minutes away from the beach which allowed us to walk back and forth with ease. The added beach amenities were amazing, from the carts, to the chairs, umbrellas, shark tooth hunting tools, boogie boards, bikes, kayaks- Jen and Eddie thought of every last detail to make going to the beach fun and easy! We really loved that there were so many kitchen items that really helped cooking for 17 people so much easier- it was also so handy having the little kitchen items like lunch baggies and foil, very impressive touches. We also all loved the outdoor shower- it made it so handy to get clean after a day at the beach. We used the BBQ area every night and utilized the screened in porches and outdoor seating. Everyone slept very comfortable in the nice beds. It was an added bonus to have laundry access right there at the house. The kids looked forward to boogie boarding each night at sunset in the warm waters of the Gulf We felt so welcomed right away and Jen and Eddie were very fast to respond to messages. Thank you so much for making a memorable stay for our family!
This is a super cute cottage with lots of amenities for both enjoying yourself at the beach or staying cozy at the cottage. We loved the screened in porch and the fire pit, and the beach cart was so helpful for the short walk to the water.
We would 100% recommend this property! Jen has thought of everything which made our life easy. Loved the outdoor shower, all the beach stuff for us to use, the screened porch, laundry, and grill. And the little lizards were a hit with our 4 year old! We will stay here again for sure.
We couldn't have been happier with every detail and beyond that the host could think of to make our stay at these cottages once again - absolutely perfect. If visiting Englewood or the area, these cottages are consistently clean, fresh, and are always better than described. Thank you!
