Cozy stay near the beach and restaurants

We loved our visit to Manasota Key! The Beach Shack is a great location! We were one of the first guests to stay after hurricane Milton. The house is now in great condition. The public beach park was closed, but there is still beach access just one block away. We loved our kayak ride in the bay! We also loved being just a 10 minute walk to all of the restaurants/bars. We went to spring training baseball games on our non beach days. We saw lovely sunsets on the gulf side and a lovely sunrise on the bay side! We will definitely stay here again when we visit the area in the future

The Flamingo's Nest at the Beach Shack was a wonderful place for a long weekend on Manasota Key..

The property had everything you needed to have a relaxing break. Location was great, it was a 3 block walk to many local eateries. The beach was very nice and close to the unit. The owners also offered many toys for your beach and surf entertainment.

Heather was an excellent communicator for the stay at her place.

My daughter and her husband stayed at Heather’s charming house. It’s very near the beach and restaurants in a quiet neighborhood. They very much enjoyed their stay. Heather connected them with a ride from and to the airport. I highly recommend The Beach house!

Great getaway

We absolutely loved our time at the beach shack. The outside shower was a hit for my 4 and 2 year old and also made it so convenient to get them cleaned off from the beach before going inside. The reviews I read before booking kept mentioning the hosts thought of everything and it’s true. It was perfect for our weekend getaway.

Awesome place!!

We absolutely loved Falmingos Nest and Manasota Key. The house is clean and has everything you could ever need including an outdoor shower, bikes and kayaks. Heather was super responsive and helpful. The beach is across the street and the restaurants are a short bike ride/ walk away. Loved it! Can’t wait to come back!

The perfect getaway

We had an amazing time in the Flamingo Cottage at the Beach Shack. Communication was easy. The cottage was extremely well equipped and super clean. We enjoyed exploring the nearby beaches and of course hunting for shark teeth. We could not have asked for an easier or more enjoyable time! We hope to return soon!

This property was amazing bed comfortable and very clean and they thought of everything including snacks and drinks with a bottle of wine. Beautiful and the chimes out my door to hear was lovely.

Cute and close to the beach!

I loved staying in the Flamingo’s nest. It was a very short walk to the beach (across the street and down a short side street) It was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The decor was absolutely adorable and added to the beach experience. Heather and Rod are the ultimate hosts! They’re friendly, accommodating and really care about providing a great experience for all of their guests. Communication was top-notch; I would rent one of their units again and would recommend to anyone staying in Manasota Key.

Great place

This was a perfect place for our family. It was an easy walk to the beach (everything you need included, umbrellas, chairs, toys, boogie boards, etc. ). We have 2 small children (6 and 3) and we were able to kayak and relax at the beach as a family. We will stay here again. They really think of everything.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
Rod and I are northern transplants from Ohio and Pennsylvania (respectively) that moved to Florida back in 1990. We have been married for going on 25 years and have two wonderful sons- Conor and Quinn who have kept us busy for the majority of these years with school activities, Club soccer and Boy Scouts. As we move into the empty nest stage of our lives in a few years we are working on our "Nest". We look forward to sharing this "Nest" with you as well.

What makes this property unique

Spending time with friends on Manasota Key led us to fall in love with the island. The quaint community of visitors gives you a sense of belonging. When you drive over the small draw bridge that takes you on to the island your eyes sneak a peak to the water to see if the dolphins are in view - you can't help but let out a breath of calmness as you have entered your relaxing destination. Many travelers come from the North during the winter months to beat the cold weather and stay for months on end- year after year. Others that live in Florida or the warmer areas come to get away from our everyday life even if just a short drive. While at the Beach Shack you will feel at home whether it is for a weekend -a week - or a month. The warm "Good Mornings" from those on the beach looking for Shark's Teeth (which are abundant if you look) or those you pass while walking/biking just makes you feel like you have found your Home Away from Home. The Beach Shack of Manasota Key will become a favorite and repeat destination for you- Promise!!
