Vacation
Was a very enjoyable and relaxing vacation. The rental had everything you could possibly need. Amy was very happy to help you with suggestions about activities in the area. The pool was not heated when we arrived and they had the pool guy there the next morning to have it fixed. The private beach across the street was beautiful!!! They provided beach chairs and towels as well. Would definitely stay again!!!

Great location with a beautiful beach! We had a wonderful detail stay while on Manasota Key. Beach was a convenient walk from the Blue Island Inn. The host Amy gave us some great recommendations for dinners out. The state order at the end of the island had some great walking trails with beautiful views! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay!
The location and view were awesome, place was very clean, stocked with all the amenities you would need. My partner and I loved watching the sunrise in the morning and even got to do some fishing off the dock. Hosts were very communicative and available for any questions. 10/10 would love to stay again!
