The location was fantastic, the amenities were wonderful from the bikes and kayaks to the fire pits and grills. The interior was really well done and stocked better than any place we have ever stayed. We made dinner at the unit several nights. Nice touch with wine, beer and snacks in the unit on our arrival. Jen and Eddie are great people, and we had some great conversations with them. Close to the action of town and a short walk to the beach or the state park. We had a great stay. The Lock and Key was a great bike ride destination and had a fantastic charcuterie board and beverages. Thanks! ##### Pippero P. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel M.

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! ##### Rachel M.

My family really enjoyed staying at “White Pelican.” Everything about this property was perfectly described in the listing and completely met our expectations. The property was both fun and relaxing, every detail was thought of and everything we needed was provided. Even as a Florida resident (owning beach toys, chairs, carts, kayaks, ect) I enjoyed going on a beach vacation and not having to bring all of our beach gear! Added bonus the “snack basket,” we all loved this extra treat! Manasota Key itself is a nice small area perfect for a relatively quiet vacation. It was perfect not having all the touristy activities and shops around. Overall, we lived our stay and highly recommended staying here! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim W.

Just a few steps down the road and you are at the beach enjoying the beautiful beach! Let me just say HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST!! They provided everything you could possibly think of for your visit… Beer / wine / and snacks were there upon arrival what a surprise 🥰. They had bikes and kayaks and so much more to use while on our stay. You thinking about cooking they have spices/oils pots and pans everything you need to cook your meal. The kids had a GREAT time sitting by the fire pit and of course so did we! We will definitely be back. ##### Kim W. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angel C.

Beds and bedding was very comfy and house was very clean. Had everything you needed even the little extra stuff they put in there to make you feel welcome and at home. What a great host! The back yard was beautiful and enjoyed it in the evenings. Close to beach and bay. Enjoyed the kayaks seeing the dolphins! Thanks for a wonderful stay! ##### Angel C.
