Villa Mojito Dazzles

In a prime Manasota Key location, our talented interior designer created this beach bungalow gem with 2 bedrooms and sofa sleeper, Smart Tv's & granite kitchen with dining set. Walk only 1 minute until your toes are in Gulf of Mexico at delightfully uncrowded beach! 5 walk to Stump Pass. Longer walk or free shuttle to good restaurants with live music. Unwind in on-site Swim Spa with waterfall & massage therapy jets in common area. Spot dolphins with free Kayaks. Peaceful, quiet
We are professional hosts with nearly two decades of caring hospitality experience and numerous happy repeat guests with glowing reviews.

Nice get away from the tourist traffic!
Great location! The Key has only one road with very light traffic. The beach is not crowded and you only have to walk across the street to get to the beach. The kids had fun in the heated pool. Good size for kids, but not for a lap swim workout. There are some restaurants close by with live music less than a half mile away. Easy access to sidewalks to walk up and down the Key. Grocery stores - Publix, Winn Dixie and Walmart are on the main drag about 3-4 miles away. This place had all the kitchen items we needed, beach stuff and kayaks!

Stay at Mojito
We enjoyed our first stay on Manasota Key. The area is beautiful and quaint. The cottage was adorable and perfect for what we needed. Loved the close proximity to the ocean and the beach chairs and cooler offered for use. Easy check-in and checkout process. Appreciate the cottage being stocked, especially the coffee and toiletries.

My friend and I wanted a little break from the cold, so we decided to meet for a long weekend in Florida. The Villa Mojito was the perfect find! Adorable, extremely clean and in a great location. We had a wonderful time that wasn't long enough. I highly recommend this little gem.

Perfect quiet Florida island spot
Very clean, well-maintained, small but very functional 2 bedroom cottage. Quiet neighborhood. Short walk to beach. Kayaks for protected bay. Good bars/restaurants and bike rental about a 15 minute walk. Well managed. Very happy with this experience!

Beach Getaway
I stayed at Villa Mojito with my daughter and husband. We wanted a quick getaway close to walk on the beach and enjoy restaurants. The villa had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing couple of days. It was clean and a very quiet neighborhood. We walked a couple of minutes to the beach about an hour before sunset and easily found sharks teeth on the shore. We look forward to going back.

Just what we were looking for!
Visited Manasota Key on past trips and have come to love the area. Found Casa Mojit and gave it a shot. Priot to booking, reached out with a question which was promplty answered and I booked. Upon arrival, we were provided with a code to the door and were off to a great start. All the necessities were provided which helped with packaging. We did some shopping locally for some snacks, light meals, beverages and cocktails. Lots of great restaurants nearby which if you want are within walking distance or a short drive away. One of the great things about this place is the location. If you walk out and walk about .1 miles to the right, you are at the Gulf Of Mexico. If you walk to the left a slightly shorter distance, you are at Lemon Bay. If you walk to the other side of the Property down Friendship Lane at toward Lemon Bay, there are a few Benches to watch the sunrise over Lemon Bay as you sip your coffee. If you go towards the Gulf at sunset, you can grab a beach chair along with your favorite cocktail and enjoy the sunset. The property had all your beach essentials (chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, boogie boards, a coller.) One of the highlights was sifting through the beach sand looking for fossilized shark teeth which kept us busy part of the time. Another thing I loved was the access to the kayaks on the property. I went on a sunrise kayak and enjoys view. Overall a great place to stay. It did have a musty smell at first, but not horroble.
