We just walked down the street to the beach to take long walks, collect sharks teeth, and watch the sunsets! We had everything we needed, and many extras --the tea, coffee and wine tray on the coffee table was such a nice touch! It was a bit chilly during our stay but we did swim in the little pool, which was lovely and warm. Loved the lanai, too. Thank you for a great stay! ##### Rebecca R.

It’s right off the main drag and an easy walk to the beach. We never saw a community hot tub or ping pong tables but we wouldn’t have used them anyway. The bathroom was super tiny and I can’t imagine more than 2 people being comfortable there but it was perfect for us. ##### Carlye S. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian F.

First time to Manasota Key. Old school beach town with some cool local dives. Right up our alley. Caught the shark teeth fever and casually found 300+ without really trying. The location was as good as it gets without being directly beach front. I would come back to this villa. ##### Brian F. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bradley S. Mar 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great find! We stayed 5 nights and had a great vacation. Although the island is still recovering from the hurricanes our unit was perfect. All new appliances and furnishings, A/C unit in every room and well stocked kitchen for cooking. Location is perfect, easy walk across the street to the beach and great access to the bay for our daily kayak trip to see the dolphins (3rd canal to the right had 3-6 every day we were there). All you need for the beach is provided, chairs, umbrellas, toys and even a cooler. A nice table outside the unit for evening cocktails or morning coffee. The pool is noce for a quick dip to cool off and the onsite laundry is all brand new and had 3 sets of w/d. Communication from our host was quick and she even provided some tips on things to do (farmers market on Thursday was the best). We really liked the area, everything is back open and the locals were all super friendly. ##### Bradley S. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice H.

The location couldn't be better! 210 steps to the beach (we counted) everything we needed was there. The house was decorated to perfection! I adored the thoughtful details throughout. They even had a smaller cooler for the beach days. The pool was heated and so much fun. If you want a wonderful place with the BEST service, this is the place! Thank you for the perfect week. ##### Janice H. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara M. Sep 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Charming Beach Cottage, Close to Beach Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Margarita. It is a charming little beach getaway with plenty of room for our party of three. I found the king bed very comfortable and while the bathroom is somewhat small, it worked out nicely for us. My daughter had no complaints about the double bed in the second bedroom. I loved how close we were to the very non-crowded beach. We had a great time hunting fossil shark teeth. We thought about taking the kayaks out to Lemon Bay but didn't think we could carry them. It wasn't until the second to last day that we saw the wheels for them. Anyway, I highly recommend staying at Villa Margarita for a really comfortable, fun vacation. ##### Barbara M. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher L. Apr 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday getaway Planned a trip for my wife’s birthday. She is from Florida but had never been to Manasota Key before. As soon as I saw this place I knew it was going to be perfect for us. Honestly we had no idea it would be so clean and tidy like it was. The decor and furniture placement made the space feel so much bigger. We absolutely loved the beach items already being there for us to use. Couldn’t have asked for an easier straight line to walk to get to the beach as well. The other home owners seemed friendly, though we kept to ourselves most often. Another thing we were impressed with were the kitchen items being readily available; including SPICES! We will definitely be back and I have saved this for future family vacations. ##### Christopher L. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caitlin H.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Perfect for a family with a couple kids or 2 couples. The kitchen was well equipped. Loved the screened in front porch, great for letting our suits and dive gear dry out. The pool area was very nice and there were a bunch of kayaks avaliable for use. We had a couple very minor issues (wifi and slow drain) and Elena was VERY quick to respond and super friendly and helpful! She made it clear that if we had any other issues to please text her and she would be happy to come right back and fix them. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for us. Great location, one block from a beautiful beach. Lots of really good restaurants close by, great suggestions and helpful info in the welcome binder. Very reasonably priced for the location and amenities! We're already talking about a return trip! ##### Caitlin H. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mary w. Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot Very clean, exactly as pictures showed, everything set up for arrival very nicely. The TV was on upon arrival which caused a lot of confusion and delay getting into unit. The next day we saw a sign outside that said the tv is often left on, couldn’t see the sign in the dark though. Beds very comfortable. Only very minor complaints that would improve the overall experience if resolved: Not all the doors close properly, especially main bedroom door. We had to have something propped up against it to keep it closed. The shower doesn’t drain well at all. The toilet paper is horrible but we assume that’s due to older pipes. Loved the location, kiddo loved the little pool, great kayaking, cute little welcome gift. Would definitely stay here again & would recommend. ##### mary w.

Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was such a cute Villa. It was just like home. It had everything I needed to make a meal. The Villa was very clean and even provided some popcorn, oatmeal, coffee, tea and condiments enough for afew days. The communication between us and property owner /manager was "spot on". It was just a short walk to the beach. I would differently stay there again. ##### debbie l.
