What an adorable bungalow!
This property is really perfect! Wish we had longer to stay and will definitely come back! Steps to water on either side. Don’t miss the sunsets on the beach to the west. To the east, Lemon Bay is just down the road. Be sure to notice the amazing garden 2 houses down the road - clearly a labor of love! Easy access to restaurants and activities, but still super quiet - the perfect balance. The furnishings and decorations in the Bay Breeze Bungalow are very comfortable and classy. The property is top notch!

Quaint but clean
As expected. Very clean, but a bit of a musty smell. Would be nice if there were longer hours to use common spaces--9 pm seems more reasonable, especially in the winter. Access to the beach and beach gear were great.

Perfect location!
The location was fantastic! The beach was a quick, block and a half walk away. Beach chairs, towels, and other items were available. We loved having access to kayaks and paddling in Lemon Bay. The studio was clean and well appointed. Many starter items, a bottle of wine, and other goodies were there to welcome us. Communication was easy with the owners. The only complaint I had was that the “posh” bed was not to our liking. Please keep in mind that this is very subjective. Others may love the bed, we did not.

Affordable, Peaceful & Great Location
My husband and I needed a quick get away, we had stayed in Manasota Key in August and with it only being an hour and a half away from us it's a perfect place to go. Had great communication with the host prior to booking. The low fees are what led me to pick this place. Other listings may have said they were $10 more a night but the fees were outrageous! We loved the convenience of an easy walk to the beach. I will say I don't normally book places like this was but pleasantly surprised with the decor and the mattress was very comfortable. I definitely recommend for couples only or friends renting out multiple units because it is a tight knit of rooms. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of not hearing kids, babies or teens (sounds bad I know but we just lost our 5 month old this year hence the get away) The only thing I would say I noticed was there were multiple dehumidifier's in the room that filled up with water twice in our 2 night stay. Very humid and stagnant air when not on, however they were already aware of the issue and the dehumidifier's helped when they were working so I didn't even bring it up to the hosts. As a Floridian myself who knows this area, I know they were hit hard from hurricane Ian and still working on rebuilding the area so I assumed it's from that. Over all I would recommend as an affordable get a way!
