Updated 9/28/2020 There are many choices in Manasota Key Rentals and it can be hard to find one with accurate reviews. Many will claim to be “beachfront” or have an “ocean view” when in reality you have to stand on a chair in the bathroom to even see the water. I hope this list helps you narrow down your options for your Manasota Key vacation rental.
5. Marie and Jay’s 3BR Beachfront Duplex
If you have a large group this is one of the best possible Manasota Key rentals available, because you can rent both sides of the duplex (if available), giving you access to 6 bedrooms if needed. It’s about impossible to find a rental with that many bedrooms adjacent to each other. If you just want to rent one half that’s perfectly fine too, the units are totally separate. The offseason rates on this rental are hard to beat, up until the end of December you can rent for only $170 a night! Great reviews of 4.9/5 on VRBO and this rental has been recently remodeled.

4. Jennifer’s 3BR Direct Beachfront Condo
This Manasota Key condo is in the newest complex in the area. This unit was built in 2005 and is absolutely gorgeous. There are beach views from multiple areas of this condo including the large screened in lanai. The kitchen is wonderful and the 3 bedrooms make it great for families. One nice thing about this unit is that the price doesn’t go way up during the busy season, it rents for about $220-230 a night year round. This does make it a little tougher to find openings in Feburary and March but its worth checking the availability calander here: https://www.vrbo.com/479047 Frequent Islander Grade: B+
3. Sally’s 1BR Beachfront Cottage
This is a smaller unit being a 1BR but it is perfect for couples. This is the most popular beachfront Manasota Key rental on VRBO and its not surprising. The price is affordable, the location is perfect on the island, and you are literally ON the beach. When I say on the beach I mean step out the door and you are on the beach. This unit isn’t fancy and it won’t wow you with marble floors but you can’t get closer to the beach and the price can’t be beat. Not suprisingly the reviews on VRBO are a near perfect 4.9/5 with over 100 verified stays. Check the availability here: https://www.vrbo.com/230263 Frequent Islander Grade: B+
2. David’s 4BR 4BA Luxury Beachfront Condo
This is the biggest condo available on the island, with 4 full size bathrooms each having their own bathroom. This is in the same complex as #4 on our list above, so this unit was built in 2005 as well. This is actually one of the nicest condo’s available to rent in Southwest Florida. The price actually a lot less than you would guess given that it is a 4BR 4BA, you can rent it for as low as $285 in the off season or $371 during the high season. When you figure this unit is essentially 4 seperate hotel rooms plus a high end kitchen and living room you see what a value David’s condo is.

Top Pick: Gulf to Bay Beachfront 4BR House
Wow. This Manasota Key rental has managed to achieve the near impossible perfect 5/5 user review score on VRBO, with 46 verified stays. There is 2 master suites with King beds and private bathrooms, a “bunk bed” room with 4 bunk beds for the kids, and 2 other bedrooms with twin or single beds. This house can handle a lot of people, with beds for everyone. It includes beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and everything you need to head to the beach. Speaking of the beach its about 10 steps off your deck. You simply have to see the pictures of this unit other than the one I’ve included here, you can check it out at this link: https://www.vrbo.com/107505 We simply can’t recommend this house enough, if there was a rating higher than A+ this would be one of the rare units that would deserve it.
