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.

We stayed for a long weekend with friends who rented one of the other cottages. We loved the location and the pool. The cottage itself is in need of maintenance and looks better in the pictures than in person, but overall we had a nice beach getaway and enjoyed our stay.
