Beachcomber of Manasota Key (North) - Englewood, Florida

We stayed in the Osprey Retreat, and it was wonderful!

The rental was spotless and came with all of the amenities you could ever ask for on a beach retreat. Of all the rentals where our family has stayed, this one was top notch. Pete and Carol are excellent to work with and truly care about the vacationers that call their retreat home while staying on beautiful Manasota Key, and the goody basket is a nice surprise.

This cozy nook is steps from the beach, and Pete and Carol make sure renters are provided with information on great places to eat and things to be sure to check out while visiting.

We also enjoyed a fantastic lunch (and DOLE WHIP!!!) at the Beachcomber Trading Post.

When we come back, we will be staying at the Beachcomber. It is a little slice of heaven.

Our family had a fantastic stay at this resort this past week. I will say even with booking this place, Carol, the owner, worked hard to find my family the right cottage and for the best deal. She immediately called me back if I needed to leave a message. She searched her properties and found us the perfect one. It was truly a wonderful place for us to have a vacation together. Trust me when I say that the owners have knocked it out of the park in terms of small details and personal touches to make your stay special. I cannot even name all the things that my family noticed that had been attended to before we even needed to ask. We stayed in the Royal Palm cottage and it was IMMACULATE. I am super fussy about cleanliness and this place was clean. The bed linens were very nice and the towels were great. All the things in the kitchen were new and gleaming. I felt very, very comfortable here. The beach is a short walk down the road and is absolutely incredible. I'm a native and know a fabulous beach when I see it. Each cottage is perfectly placed and the landscaping cleverly done so you cannot even tell if there are other guests. It is very private feeling and quiet. We cannot say enough nice things about this place and the owners. This was a memorable vacation for this grandma/mama and we will not soon forget our wonderful time here. Thank you so very, very much Carol. Stay here as you will not be disappointed. It truly is a resort feeling place and top notch.

A perfect girl's weekend! This place was everything it advertised, clean, comfortable, steps from the beach, a cute little outdoor shower to rinse off after a beach visit, even some drinks and snacks available upon arriving, it was so nice! The staff is super friendly and communicative. We rode bikes to dinner and lunch, (beachcomber trading post is the best of the breakfast and lunch options!) and walked to stump's pass, even found a megalodon tooth! I'm already planning a return trip!

We had the joy of staying at Water's Edge on the bay front for our 40th anniversary! The unit was as clean & lovely as pictured & described. We had an amazing week! We watched the 4th of July fireworks from the bay & enjoyed short walks to the beach for hunting shark's teeth & swimming. Pete and Carol are the best hosts and made us feel right at home!

My family and I had the most wonderful time at the Beachcomber in Manasota!! This property is immaculate! Everything was spotless when we arrived. What a pleasure to stay here. All the surroundings so well kept and just impeccable. Truly the owners know how to run and keep their lovely property. Thank you Carole!

Every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations! From the accommodations, the amenities, the special gift basket, the beach access, the available recreational items (bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas), it was all 5 star. Communication before, during, and after our stay was top notch. It gave me peace of mind knowing what to expect ahead of time as well as knowing that someone was available if we needed anything. Location was great for local activities and restaurants. My family had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to come back!

Our family absolutely loved Sandy Toes! The backyard patio is like paradise and everything inside is pristine and so well-kept. The beach is SO close, and we loved all of the beach gear provided. The paddle boards are so much fun! We found a ton of shark’s teeth and loved watching the sunsets. The fire pit also makes for a lovely evening, and the outdoor shower is beautiful and so convenient. Carol is so accommodating, and we would 10/10 recommend staying here!!

Fantastic place to stay on Manasota Key! All of their properties are first class and spotless. We stayed at a fourplex which was immaculate and decorated beautifully. The owners live nearby and were very accommodative to our needs and questions, not to mention how friendly they were! We had everything we needed for a beach vacation, and then some. We would highly recommend Beachcomber of Manasota Key for a truly wonderful vacation!
