The amenities were some of the best we have ever experienced. A remarkable refurbishment after hurricane Milton. The finishes were in line with those of when hiring a top tier contractor. The little things such as USB A & C charging ports in select wall outlets. The screened porch was a favorite location to have meals and relax between adventures. Great proximity for walking to Stump Pass State Park where we launched kayaks and watched the sunsets.

What a beautiful cottage, so comfy, fresh, up to date and well appointed, and the host was fabulous. Our son and his family enjoyed staying here. It is truly minutes from the beach (our 3 yo granddaughter had no problem walking to it), plus they were able to enjoy all that Manasota Key has to offer. The screened lanai was so large and comfortable plus there was everything a young family would need to enjoy a day at the beach. There will definitely be repeat visits!

We had an incredible stay at the oyster catcher. All of the beach supplies made our travel from Texas that much easier. We use the bikes and kayaks daily. The house was beautiful and clean, and we really appreciated the welcome basket of goodies. Jen was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay there longer!
