Cottage holiday rentals in Manasota Key

Marc and Dave were incredible. They were responsive and proactive! I will definitely be back. We had a family of 7 and even though it was small, we were comfortable. The bikes were an added bonus and amazing to use for our trips to the Daiquiri Deck! Although the weather didn’t cooperate we still had an amazing time and would 10000% recommend this place. Traveling with 5 kids can be stressful and they made accommodations seamless!

We had a great trip and loved our stay at the cottage! There was plenty of room for our family of 4 and our dog. The cottage was well stocked with everything you may need. We also liked that there were no stairs. The courtyard was very pretty and had games set up. It was a short, pleasant walk to Crescent Beach, our favorite beach in the area. It’s beautiful, less crowded than Siesta Beach, and a great spot for shelling. During low tide we were able to get to Point of Rocks and that area is so beautiful! Highly recommend!

Clean, comfortable unit. Kitchen was well stocked. Bathroom had a generous supply of plush towels. Danil and David were great to work with. I would return again.

Small but cozy place. Perfect location to walk to the beach or to get something to eat.

From the moment we arrived at this top-rated “Quaint Cottage,” we knew we’d found something special. This charming retreat sets the bar for excellent stays. Inside, every detail felt outstanding—from the freshly laundered linens and plush towels to the fully equipped kitchen that made cooking a breeze. Madeline’s communication was first-class, offering clear check-in instructions and local recommendations that turned our weekend into a seamless escape. Every little touch—from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the thoughtful supply of beach chairs and umbrellas—was superior… the gold standard of hospitality. Location-wise, you couldn’t ask for more: just a quick four-minute stroll to Crescent Beach’s powdery white sands, turquoise blue water and deep red, yellow and orange sunsets. Within steps you’ll find a lineup of dining options—fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants, laid-back bars serving sunset cocktails, and cozy cafés perfect for post-beach coffee. In every way, our stay was awesome!

Marc is the owner of the property, but Dave, the property manager, is the real MVP. I’ve never met the man in person, but I can tell you—Dave isn’t built like the rest. I am a director in sales, (had the fam tag along for my meeting in sarasota) and I’d hire him in a heartbeat. His attention to detail and proactive communication were honestly next level. The morning of our arrival, Dave reached out to let us know the crew had finished cleaning early and offered us an early check-in—which was a huge win with kids who were antsy to get to the beach. Then, without any prompting, he followed up on our departure day to offer a late checkout. We had an early flight and couldn’t take advantage of it, but the offer alone speaks volumes about his thoughtfulness. The place itself had everything: bikes, cornhole, table tennis—and even pool floats that were awesome to use in the ocean, too! It was a perfect little spot to spend quality time with my family. Highly recommend, and major kudos to Dave

We loved Lara's place, and she was extremely easy & quick to communicate with. We love the quiet neighborhood and the pool was the cherry on top! We will definitely be reserving her sweet home again!

Dave took good care of us during our stay. There were a few minor issues but Dave was responsive and quick to get things replaced/fixed. We were in contact throughout the week, which was great. We loved having the bikes and the beach supplies. Pool volleyball and ping pong were a huge hit! We will definitely be coming back next year for our annual family vacation. Marc is easy to get ahold of, informative and helpful. Thank you for hosting us!

Easy check in and check out. Very private space and very secure with the security gate. Felt right at home! My friend and I have stayed here multiple times and it’s great every time!

Place was perfect. Close to beach and eatery’s. Very Florida like with the gardens all around. Had everything we needed. She was sweet as well as her husband.

Amazing location, we were in walking distance of the downtown & the beach. The house was perfect for our family. Very clean and had everything we needed. Chairs, a cooler and a beach wagon was provided for our beach trips as well. The sunsets on Seista Key Beach were beautiful. We had some wonderful meals at the local spots, it’s a great place to relax and unwind, very laidback. The host Mark was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back in the future.

Very nice host, she was accommodating and understanding of our circumstances

Loved this place! Will be returning, home was clean and stocked, perfect location. Very close drive to beaches and restaurants. It is a 35 minute walk to the beach and the internet connection was spotty but still a great place to stay!

By far the most relaxing vacation our family has taken. The home is even more beautiful in person than the pictures show. The host's style and decor are just perfect for a cool beachy vibe which adds to the whole experience of being on LGI. Hosts were extremely accommodating during our stay. We cannot wait to return! ☀️

Michele’s place was the perfect place for my husband and myself. The house was very clean and comfortable. We brought our boat and rented Michele’s golf cart. Michele’s instructions for docking our boat and using the cart was helpful and precise. Michele was very flexible and gracious when we asked to arrive a day earlier. We very much enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again and recommend her place to others.

My wife and I loved it. We spent 2 weeks there and it was a perfect place in a perfect location. Highly recommended and we will plan a re-visit if it’s available on my next trip.

Very pleasant and peaceful property. I loved the place. very comfortable beds ,linens, and pillows. I used a kayak and the firepit every day I was there. Very close to the Peace river and tours. Definitely would recommend to friends and I'll be back.

Jim's surf shack is the perfect siesta key get away. The walk up to it through the courtyard was so inviting every time. Inside was spotless, had everything I could ask for including complementary k cups. His dock across the street is the perfect place for a morning coffee or nightcap. Jim was also an extremely pleasant host. Although not always guaranteed, he offered me early check-in that was quite earlier than normal. Due to timing, I could not take advantage of it but it just shows how gracious of a host he is. 5* through and through and I cannot wait to come back to the shack!

Great place and great host! We were there for a pickleball tournament and the house was very convenient to the venue, restaurants, and stores. Easy check in and very cute place

Great place located within walking distance of Nokomis beach and beach bars/restaurants. Few minutes drive to Venice for numerous other food options, along with fast food on the main road nearby. Very peaceful location.

We had a great stay at Magnolia cottage. Easy drive to the beach. Very clean, felt safe. It was nice that Karmen reached out to me to make sure we got checked in without any problem.

House was very cozy comfortable and relaxing , Choose from many beaches around area , would stay there again.

We had a lovely time at Mattie’s Cottage! It’s the perfect size for a romantic getaway and we made full use of the beach items on property! We would love the opportunity to stay again in the future.

Kelly's place was a welcoming retreat. So quiet, beautiful surroundings and lots of creatures to see and hear. The cottage is cozy and well equipped, lots of natural light, a comfortable bed, quality linens and a spacious, well lit, shower. :) We had everything we needed, enjoyed the time we spent there and hope we can return on one of our future trips to Englewood.
