Spring break
Lovely, clean place to stay! The unit was completely redone recently. Kayaks were great to use on Lemon Bay. Beach 2 block walk away but Unit comes with beach cart, beach chairs & umbrella. Quiet neighborhood. Great kitchen and even a grill in the backyard. Check in was super easy and the 2 owners were quick to respond to my questions. Would stay here again

Spring break at Turtle Cay
Our family had a great time at the Beach Shack. It’s a safe area, and we enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and local bars and restaurants. There is shopping nearby too. The kitchen is fully stocked and we used the gas grill twice. Rod and Heather were amazing hosts. They promptly answered all of our questions and even brought over some fans and a cooler and beach bag for us to use. We were welcomed with a large basket of snacks and beer, wine, and water in the fridge too! Thx for an amazing stay on Manasota Key!!

Rest and Relaxation
Hospitality was wonderful and made the stay for me. The extra snacks, drinks, shampoo, laundry detergent and extras was so nice. Honestly, made my trip. So nice getting there and seeing a cold beer in the fridge. I am a Registered Nurse, so this trip was much needed. Super clean, walking distance to restaurants. Beach was wonderful, we found lots of sharks teeth.

Wonderful stay at Turtle Cay Beach Shack!!
Heather and Rod's Beach Shack was perfect for my brother and I visiting our mother in Englewood. It had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves and even have our mom visit for dinner. Heather and Rod are super hosts and wonderful people! I feel I have new friends in Englewood and will definitely be back to the Beach Shack. Thanks you two!!

Do worries stay!
The place was perfect...every amenity was there plus a gracious bottle of wine, sodas and snacks. The kicker was the outdoor shower ( hot and cold water) to me that made the vacation. The unit is new and updated including central A/C.The beach is just a block away. Property has beach access but you must park yourself “at waters edge” and not any closer to the homes on beach property. Waters edge means your chair as close to the water as possible. Beach owners are there and watching...

Highly Recommend. Amazing location, only 2 minute walk from the beach. Heather and Rod were great hosts, we had 2 small issues that they sorted out within under 30 minutes of asking. We made good use of the kayaks and bikes, bbq, and sun room. We saw dolphins both in the ocean and in-land water.

Just as Good as Advertised
We couldn't have been more pleased with this weekend getaway beach cottage. Heather has thought of every little touch to make the whole experience extra easy and enjoyable. Things like plenty of soft comfy blankets for cooler evenings, games and books (we enjoyed the Yahtzee - haven't played that in years!), many lovely snacks stocked and ready for us, and all of the outside amenities like the bikes that we rode to the beach, the kayaks, grill (we made good use of that one evening), and screened lanai all showed the attention to detail that made this an outstanding value. The shack is situated toward the south (quieter!) end of the island, walking distance to Stump Pass State Park where we found at least 10 sharks teeth. Many restaurants and shops are a very short drive or pleasant walk away, and the helpful binder we found on the kitchen table gave us a lot of information about things to do and see. Very cute turtle-themed decor. Great, clear directions on how to access, check in and check out. Just a great trip, thanks Heather and Rod!
