We had a great stay at this property! This was our second stay on manasota key, but the first at this rental. Everything was clean and as described. The beach access is a VERY reasonable walk, about 5 minutes from the door to the water. We would absolutely stay here again! We stayed with pets as well and everyone was very comfortable!

Overall, nice!
Cozy Cottage is in a great location, with easy access to a private beach area of the Gulf. It's nice to be able to walk to see sunsets, sun rises, Stump Pass Beach Park and to the town beach as well. We also found great restaurants etc in the town of Englewood. The owner is very helpful in terms of being great about responding quickly to questions. It was great to have beach chairs, umbrellas, etc to use, since we had flown to FL. The accommodations suited our needs, as we were more interested in the beach, nature walks, and being outside than in spending a lot of time inside. A couple of inside updates (for example, the sheets, although of course clean, were a bit worn) would make the property a little more welcoming. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Cozy Cottage.

Nice cottage!
We enjoyed our stay at the cozy cottage. Honestly, it was nicer than the pictures portrayed, and the neighborhood was quiet, safe, and close to the beach, which had private access about 8 doors down. We found lots of small sharks teeth - a first for us! We would recommend!

Loved Manasota Key
The property was very nice and we loved Manasota key. Very cute street. We did a lot of shark tooth hunting and found hundreds of the small ones. A beach cart was provided that made it easy to bring lots of stuff down to the beach. Also, the Stump Pass Park (short walk) was very nice. We brought our two dogs and though they were not allowed on the beach we did bring them a couple of times in the late afternoon (we had seen many other dogs being walked on the beach) and had no problems. The property owners suggestions for restaurants were very useful as well. Overall we had a wonderful experience. My only note would be that it would be good to have a little more toilet paper. With myself, my wife and three adult children the one backup in each bathroom is not quite enough.

December Stay
The property was not clean when we arrived. The floors had dust/hair along the trim throughout the house, the bathtub in the hallway had hair in the drain, and the spout was cracked/broken which was a hazard for our young children during bath time. The hallway bathroom’s drain cover was also broken and came out during bath time. We scrubbed the backyard patio table so we could use it for dinner. We did appreciate having beach toys, a cooler, and beach towels at our disposal because it was less we had to pack or buy.

Very comfortable. Everything needed was there. It was easy access to the beach. The beds were very comfortable. Should maybe have throw rugs inside the doors to help catch the sand. We wiped our feet on the outside mats and didn’t wear our shoes in but the sand got in anyway.

Great Property
Great property within walking distance to the beach. This property is part of a duplex but there must be great insulation because we could not even tell there was another family staying in the other unit. Clean unit with all of the amenities you need plus a shed that has beach chairs and umbrellas. Two ways to access the beach. You can walk north about 8 houses down and there is an access but these beaches are private up to the water so you can either walk the beach or sit with a chair at the water's edge. We had small children so we opted to go to Stump Pass State Park every day which is a 30 second drive or a 5 minute walk. Much better as you can do your full setup wherever you want along 1+ mile of beach. Definitely looking to stay here again in the future!

All Kitchen appliances need updating, patio landscape needs work, to many uneven blocks. Pots and pans need updating. Shed needs to be cleaned of unusable items - bikes, chairs need review. Management needs to pay more attention to property. Location and beach accessibility, including Stump Pass was convenient and great.

Perfect location!
This cottage had everything we needed for a nice beach getaway! It was conveniently located walking distance to the beach, state park and the restaurants on the key. We used Stumpy’s free ride sometimes and walked sometimes up to the bars. Easy to do both! It had a nice patio with Adirondack chairs to relax. Beds were comfortable although the extra blankets and linens we found looked dirty. Unfortunately, the red tide kept us from the beach all but part of one day so we cannot comment on the beach equipment nor did we end up using the bikes. Rikke was quick to respond to my questions and check in and out were a breeze. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

It was a nice place to stay walking distance to the beach. It was a few blocks walk to a couple restaurants or a short ride off the island to several other restaurants. Quite a bit to do in the area from outdoor activities to shopping and entertainment.

Perfect beach getaway cottage!
This cozy cottage was the perfect beach getaway from the frozen north (a.k.a. Minnesota). We were able to walk to the beach every day to boogie board, swim, fly kites, and look for shells/shark teeth. It was so wonderful to have a full kitchen to cook during the week and save some money. We would definitely stay here again! Perfect location and cute cottage! The only thing that would have made it even more perfect would be the addition of a kayak to use, but we did put the two bikes and beach equipment to good use!
