Great location
This place was adorable! The property is small but very well organized and close to everything. I was originally a little concerned about the walk to the beach Based on viewing the map but it took less than three minutes to get there and the walk is super easy. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and living space worked great for our group of 2 adults and 2 teens. We would definitely consider staying here again!!

They’ve thought of everything!
Best online vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at. They have literally thought of every need you have! Snacks and goodies when you arrive, beach cart and storage chest stocked with all things beach, every appliance you might need, spices, air purifier, smart tvs in every room, usb outlets next to bed, dust buster for quick cleaning, kayaks, SUPs and fire pits. Well done! You have set the bar high for the next rental and will be coming back soon! Also manakey is a hidden gem in SWFL. Thanks so much!

5 star vacation cottage, look no further!
This was the first time our family visited the area. The day before check in we received all information to make locating property and check-in easy. After 21 hours of driving, we were welcomed by an adorable cottage, everything new and clean. We found a great "beach buggy" in the screened in porch that had umbrella, chairs and easy 3 minute walk to the beach with everything you needed! Beautiful large tv in living room & bedrooms, wine, snacks, cold beer and water in fridge, coffee, tea, spices, dishwasher...you need nothing!! The beds and pillows were wonderful, bathroom came with sunscreen, shampoo/soaps, such a great place to just bring yourself and go. During the morning we enjoyed bike rides around the area and also took the Kayaks to the bay to watch dolphins! Easy trolly cart made it an easy walk, and enjoyed the bbq for steak and sitting by the fire at night. Owners were very nice, very quiet inside the cottage and close to all the restaurants and beaches. Easy bike ride or grab a free ride with Stumpys golf cart service. I normally like to try new places every year but this is one place I will return. Our only regret is that we picked a few places to stay at for a few weeks and we would of been happy staying here the whole time.

Wonderful property, amazing location!
We recently had a family gathering at Manasota Key, Shorebird was beyond perfect for our group of 17. The accommodations were perfect, everything was clean and the property was well equipped with beach items, boogie boards, shark tooth searching tools, umbrellas, chairs, bikes, kayaks, etc. Jen and Eddie made us feel so welcomed! We loved that there were plenty of kitchen items to prepare meals, that was very handy especially feeding 17 people! We loved using the BBQ area each night and between the patio and enclosed patio we had plenty of room for everyone to find a spot. We all utilized the outdoor showers, and loved the shower that had its own private area, with shampoo and conditioner. It was also an added luxury to have washer and dryer access, so handy, again Jen and Eddie went above and beyond and had detergent available. The location exceeded all expectations, it was such a quick walk to the beach, we went back and forth many times a day. The kids loved boogie boarding each night as the sunset, such a fun experience for them in the warm waters of the Gulf. So many added touches that really helped make us feel at home, and so many thing’s available in the kitchen that were so helpful for our stay. We came from California, so having all those small things like lunch baggies and foil was amazing. Thank you so much Jen and Eddie! Loved your home and all the great things you have done to make it feel so welcoming and comfortable!

Stayed here for long weekend with wife 2 boys and mother in law. Property was in excellent condition and my wife and I were surprised at all of the amenities. There were bikes, coolers, nice beach chairs, snacks and many other items that you don’t often see at rentals. The property was very clean and quiet and made for a great weekend.

Great Cottage!
The cottage was as promised and more! The property is lovely and has everything you need. The location is easy to find, but the walk to the beach may be too much for people with mobility issues. All the amenities you need are there, and they leave you a little welcome package for your arrival with some snacks. Manasota key is delightful and this cottage fits right in!

Relaxing Mini-Vacation
This is a very comfortable, clean, well-appointed “cottage” - we loved every minute of our stay at this wonderful rental! As Floridians, it was our first trip to Manasota Key and a too-short getaway (only 2 nights) - we wish we could have stayed longer! Our host Jen was very responsive and answered emails within minutes. The check-in process was very smooth and the Piping Plover was equipped with absolutely everything we needed. It was the perfect getaway!

We decided on Manasota Key because we were told it was quaint, laid back, peaceful, and has that “old” Florida vibe. It was all that and more. The beach at Stump Pass was heaven. Looking forward to a future stay.

Wonderful Beach Vacation Spot!
We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute! We walked the short distance to the beach access area daily and relaxed on the beach while the kids played in the surf, found sharks teeth, shells, and then had a comfy and very clean place to return to at the end of the day. The cottage was updated and has been newly renovated. Everything was beautiful and clean, and it had everything we needed for a great trip. We will definitely be coming back!
