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!

Beach lovers dream
This cottage was absolutely amazing! Was exactly as advertised, just come with your bag. Everything else is provided. If you choose to cook in, just get your groceries and everything else is there for you. Great addition are the bikes and kayaks, we so enjoyed having these items available. We will be back with more family to enjoy this picture perfect place. Great job Jen and Eddie!!

Greatest escape!
This home was a wonder to stay in. Everything u could possibly need was available. The outdoor showers were so handy after the beach! The laundry, the porches, the everything was great! They provided such wonderful instructions, it answered all questions for before, during, and after stay. I can’t wait to return and stay longer next time! We spent a lot of time on the beach each day!

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!

fabulous mini vacation
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.
