50th Wedding Anniversary getaway

We absolutely loved our condo! I was so clean and had everything we needed. The Manatees come up to the end of our dock. That made our trip. Location couldn't have been any better. Beach was close and walking distance to the area bars and restaurants. John was so helpful, he got back to us right away if we needed anything. We will definitely be back to stay again Dori & Craig

A great stay

Great property, fully stocked, comfortable and clean. Lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the birds, manatees and dolphins daily. Easy to walk over to the beach, or to the nearby restaurants and shops. I'll be back!

Great Condo with a beautiful view!

We enjoyed our stay very much at the Manasota Key condos. We had everything we needed & the kitchen was stocked with more cookware than I’ve ever experienced in other condos. The condo was clean & decorated appropriately with a beach theme. It is a beautiful area with a lot to do. We visited Boca Grande Island, Stump Pass SP, Siesta Key Beach & walked across the street to the beach. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock & saw dolphins close by. We definitely look forward to returning again to such a relaxing & enjoyable place. John is a great person to communicate with. He checked with us the following morning after our arrival just to make sure all was ok & he responded immediately if I contacted him with a question. The week passed too quickly & we hated to leave.

Enjoyable Stay - Awesome Views!

Bay Watch is an end-unit second-floor condo on Manasota Key. The condo was clean when we arrived and John was very easy to communicate with. The unit faces Lemon Bay and has awesome views from the screened-in lanai. The private dock looks brand new and there are benches for guests to sit and enjoy the water. There's a grilling area and picnic benches for your use just a short walk away. The unit itself is older. The lanai screen needs replacing and the kitchen floor tiles are cracked, but it looks as if the owners are making gradual updates and improvements. The bedroom is spacious and the king bed was very comfortable. There are plenty of towels, hangers, closet space, and extra pillows if needed. The kitchen is well-equipped with stainless appliances and all the essentials for cooking meals. The bag of coffee from a local coffee shop was a nice welcome gift! The pool area is clean and inviting and access to the private beach is convenient and easy to get to. There are older beach chairs and an umbrella for guest use on the lanai. There is a laundry room adjacent to the condo building. These are coin operated machines. Most of the machines are well-used and older but clean. It costs 2.00 per wash and 2.00 per dryer. It's important to note that the machines only take quarters and there's no change machine or laundry item vending machine for detergent, etc., so you need to come prepared if you're going to do laundry. There are a variety of restaurants and entertainment venues within walking distance. You can hear the music from the condo at night, but it normally quiets down between 10 and 11 pm and didn't bother us at all. Our stay at Bay Watch was during the off-season, so it was very quiet which is exactly what we wanted. It also rained a lot but we enjoyed watching the rain storms from our lanai at night while sipping some wine! Overall this was an enjoyable stay with awesome views!

A wonderful week - I highly recommend this condo!

My husband and I had a wonderful week at this condo. The screened porch was a wonderful way to spend the evening after a day on the beach. Everything you can possibly want is available…. if you don’t see something, you’re looking in the wrong place! The owner was even kind enough to arrange a week of 80 degree sunshine 😊

Definitely Paradise!!!

Kathy and I were able to have the most amazing time over the past two weeks!!! Thanks to John for making his condo available for us. He is the most accommodating host we have ever experienced and his place is everything thing he said it was and so much more!! I have already told many people that I know and several that we met while staying in Englewood, Florida. Again, I can't thank John enough.
