We loved everything about this property! It was hands down the most well appointed rental we’ve ever stayed in. Everything from the delicious snack basket and beverages upon arrival to the abundance of wall hooks for hanging just about anything! Thank you so much!! We had a fantastic stay.

Great location, thoughtful details
This is a great little condo that is updated and clean. The amenities were great, including kayaks, bikes, outdoor shower, tons of beach gear. The owner left several sweet touches including snacks, wine, beer, and toiletries. Beach access was about a 5 minute walk, and came right out at the best shark tooth hunting area. We really enjoyed our stay and will visit again.

Wonderful getaway!
Enjoyed this getaway with my husband. We arrived to find everything exactly as described! The owner has snacks, a bottle of wine and a few cold beers for you. There is sunscreen, a few toiletries if you need them & even cleaning supplies. The facility inside and out is very clean! We parked our rental car and rode the bicycles to the restaurants & Stump pass park where we walked the trail and went to beach. We used the wagon one day as well to go to the beach. You definitely won't be disappointed if you enjoy riding bikes, kayaking, walking and like a clean place to stay!

5 stars Perfection!!
My family has wanted to come to Manasota Key for many years and I am so thankful we found Shorebird!! We stayed here with 17 people, we all agreed that this was perfect and met all needs for our large group. Upon arrival the snacks and wine were a huge hit! Right away we felt welcomed and at home. We were able to put the bags down and walk a few blocks to the beach. We loved the location, so safe and quiet, just minutes away from the beach which allowed us to walk back and forth with ease. The added beach amenities were amazing, from the carts, to the chairs, umbrellas, shark tooth hunting tools, boogie boards, bikes, kayaks- Jen and Eddie thought of every last detail to make going to the beach fun and easy! We really loved that there were so many kitchen items that really helped cooking for 17 people so much easier- it was also so handy having the little kitchen items like lunch baggies and foil, very impressive touches. We also all loved the outdoor shower- it made it so handy to get clean after a day at the beach. We used the BBQ area every night and utilized the screened in porches and outdoor seating. Everyone slept very comfortable in the nice beds. It was an added bonus to have laundry access right there at the house. The kids looked forward to boogie boarding each night at sunset in the warm waters of the Gulf We felt so welcomed right away and Jen and Eddie were very fast to respond to messages. Thank you so much for making a memorable stay for our family!

Perfect piece of paradise
We had a wonderful time at the property and it was even cuter than the pictures! We loved using the bikes and though we didn’t get to the kayaks we can’t wait to try them next time. The place was so clean and the beds super comfy. The space was perfect for our family and we loved the screened in porch and the outside spaces to hang in the morning and evening. We walked to the beach daily and biked to dinner at night. Will absolutely stay here again. A great layout inside and out and they thought of every detail!

Relaxing getaway!
My family really enjoyed staying at “White Pelican.” Everything about this property was perfectly described in the listing and completely met our expectations. The property was both fun and relaxing, every detail was thought of and everything we needed was provided. Even as a Florida resident (owning beach toys, chairs, carts, kayaks, ect) I enjoyed going on a beach vacation and not having to bring all of our beach gear! Added bonus the “snack basket,” we all loved this extra treat! Manasota Key itself is a nice small area perfect for a relatively quiet vacation. It was perfect not having all the touristy activities and shops around. Overall, we lived our stay and highly recommended staying here!

We enjoyed our visit at this location. Quite, lovely town! Just a few steps down the road and you are at the beach enjoying the beautiful beach! Let me just say HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST!! They provided everything you could possibly think of for your visit… Beer / wine / and snacks were there upon arrival what a surprise 🥰. They had bikes and kayaks and so much more to use while on our stay. You thinking about cooking they have spices/oils pots and pans everything you need to cook your meal. The kids had a GREAT time sitting by the fire pit and of course so did we! We will definitely be back.
