Nice get away from the tourist traffic!
Great location! The Key has only one road with very light traffic. The beach is not crowded and you only have to walk across the street to get to the beach. The kids had fun in the heated pool. Good size for kids, but not for a lap swim workout. There are some restaurants close by with live music less than a half mile away. Easy access to sidewalks to walk up and down the Key. Grocery stores - Publix, Winn Dixie and Walmart are on the main drag about 3-4 miles away. This place had all the kitchen items we needed, beach stuff and kayaks!

Stay at Mojito
We enjoyed our first stay on Manasota Key. The area is beautiful and quaint. The cottage was adorable and perfect for what we needed. Loved the close proximity to the ocean and the beach chairs and cooler offered for use. Easy check-in and checkout process. Appreciate the cottage being stocked, especially the coffee and toiletries.

Beach Getaway
I stayed at Villa Mojito with my daughter and husband. We wanted a quick getaway close to walk on the beach and enjoy restaurants. The villa had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing couple of days. It was clean and a very quiet neighborhood. We walked a couple of minutes to the beach about an hour before sunset and easily found sharks teeth on the shore. We look forward to going back.

Just what we were looking for!
Visited Manasota Key on past trips and have come to love the area. Found Casa Mojit and gave it a shot. Priot to booking, reached out with a question which was promplty answered and I booked. Upon arrival, we were provided with a code to the door and were off to a great start. All the necessities were provided which helped with packaging. We did some shopping locally for some snacks, light meals, beverages and cocktails. Lots of great restaurants nearby which if you want are within walking distance or a short drive away. One of the great things about this place is the location. If you walk out and walk about .1 miles to the right, you are at the Gulf Of Mexico. If you walk to the left a slightly shorter distance, you are at Lemon Bay. If you walk to the other side of the Property down Friendship Lane at toward Lemon Bay, there are a few Benches to watch the sunrise over Lemon Bay as you sip your coffee. If you go towards the Gulf at sunset, you can grab a beach chair along with your favorite cocktail and enjoy the sunset. The property had all your beach essentials (chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, boogie boards, a coller.) One of the highlights was sifting through the beach sand looking for fossilized shark teeth which kept us busy part of the time. Another thing I loved was the access to the kayaks on the property. I went on a sunrise kayak and enjoys view. Overall a great place to stay. It did have a musty smell at first, but not horroble.

Nice cottage with great access to Gulf & Lemon Bay
Nice cottage with beach-themed bedrooms and plenty of storage space. It has a nice covered porch. Pool was perfect for a quick dip. Quiet location with quick access to the beach and Lemon Bay, yet still within walking distance of multiple restaurants. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Beach supplies (towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, toys) were included as well as access to kayaks.

Very comfy apartment/cottage, contemporary and up-to-date on furnishings, decor. Perfect for 2-5 people. Lots of beach equipment and nice kayaks. Perfectly located within walking distance between Gulf and Lemon Bay. Many, many turtle nests on beach (mid-July) and saw one hatch and talked with very active turtle patrol members. Walking distance to restaurants and a little shopping, plus a great fresh fish market. Well stocked full kitchen. Highly recommend.

Hopefully they have resolved their roach issue!
We rented the Mojito beach condo the weekend before memorial day, for a long family weekend. Upon arrival we thought the place was nice and cozy. It has items for the kids to play with at the beach, some beach chairs, pots, pans, beach towels and more. Our first day there was good. The following morning when we woke up, we found a little German cockroach saying hi from behind the outlet cover in the kitchen. We killed it and moved on with our day. The next day we woke up and found more cockroaches this time. They obviously felt at home as one was in the coffee pot, one was inside the stoves digital display...yes inside of it, and another one on the counter top, running behind my baby’s clean bottles. There was a dead roach in the dishwasher and a couple other alive ones in with the pots and pans. We then notified the managing service and they sent out the nice people who take care of the buildings. They came armed with Raid and caulking to fill in the gaps. We declined the raid because we had small children in the small house and didn’t feel comfortable with the fumes. During their inspection a little German cockroach ran across the floor, which they killed. They apologized and said the building would be fumigated after our stay was over. They did return shortly after with a little gift bag for the inconvenience and told us to send our contact info to management as they would reach out to us about the situation, and to offer a gift card. Unfortunately, we still had cockroaches and debated on leaving or staying. We finished out our stay as we only had one more night left, but had to wash everything before and after our use. It has been three weeks and we still haven’t received the offered gift card. Beware of the German roaches!
