This property has a lot of privacy with water views on 3 sides. The home and grounds are totally Old Florida even though the house has been completely and lovingly renovated. Lots of high quality linens and well stocked kitchen. Highly recommend!

The house was clean and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the docks and screened porch. The location was fantastic, as it gave us access to all the things we enjoy about the area. The owner was quick to respond toquestions and was very nice!

Manatee Cove is an outstanding place, so peaceful and serene! We had everything we could've possibly needed and more for a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed fishing off the docks on the property and at the marina close-by. The beach was quiet and relaxing, then we would enjoy roasting marshmallows in the fire pit out back. Many of our meals were prepared in the well-stocked, large kitchen. And the best part...the beds were so comfy! I can't say enough positive things about this home and host! Christina was so helpful during the booking process and throughout the week. Can not wait to come stay again!

We have now stayed here twice and loved it each time. The host is great and very easy to communicate with. The only thing I would like to see is one of those cordless vacuums- they pick up the sand so much better than a broom. Other than that loved our time! The fishing was great from the bigger dock.

First of all, the host is amazing! She was so prompt in answering all of my question. The location was incredible. We were able to kayak and fish off the docks on the waterway right behind the house. We were a short drive to the beach, which was beautiful and pretty empty considering so many schools are on spring break. The house was comfortable and cozy. We were able to cuddle up as a family on a rainy morning and watch a movie. Everything we needed was there. I’m not going to lie, it’s also me that is itching to go back!

Our family came to stay and enjoyed ourselves. The kayaks, fishing, and location all seemed amazing. Then we spied a huge binder of additional rules not mentioned in the listing. Also there were cabinets locked and marked for owner usage only. There were also storage closets that were locked as well, plus family portraits displayed in the hallway. It was strange to say the least. There were also check out instructions and other notes throughout the home, which seemed a bit odd. We still made sure to try to enjoy our stay, and make the most of it. There was a very limited amount of towels and washcloths, so we constantly had to wash them. We had to do dishes daily as well, as we found ourselves cooking more than dining out. We made sure to clean up after ourselves, swept daily and even mopped twice while there for a week. We cleaned up everything we could with the limited supplies in house. We stripped beds, and left any dirty towels in the bathrooms as marked on the fridge note. We cleaned tables, wiped surfaces, took out trash (even brought out to road once), and placed things back where they were before check out. Mind you we were shocked when after check out we received an additional cleaning request, claiming excessive mess was found. I don’t know what else to say, we cleaned to our best ability, but also had already paid $250 for cleaning services. This is a vacation rental, and I guess the host expects you not to use it. Nice place, just not vacation friendly.
