"Wonderful Stay"
We had a wonderful stay at the White Pelican. Jen was a very accommodating host. She has done a fantastic job of creating a beach vacation experience at Shorebirds Cottages. The White Pelican was clean, had a well stocked kitchen for cleaning, and all the amenities were in excellent condition. Do yourself a favor and book this place. You will be so happy you did.
I can’t describe how wonderful our stay was here. It was so clean, so bright and welcoming, the grounds were so lovely and we were so close to stump pass which meant full days hunting for shark teeth (we found over 800 in 4 days!). Will definitely be coming back!
Our family had a great time at the rental. Although much of the area is still under repair from the hurricanes last year all of the businesses were open and our rental was excellent. We had a couple small issues and the property owners were quick to respond and provide superb service. We will be staying there again in the future. Thank you!!
This location was great! The condo was very clean and new. We loved being able to take the bikes to go eat and use the beach chairs for the short walk over to the beach. They also have kayaks and when we went out the dolphins swam next to us! This place is great! And we will be back!
One of the best, if not ‘THE BEST’ Airbnbs we’ve stayed at.
The place was very clean, and tastefully decorated.
The host had though about every little thing a guest might need
Will definitely recommend. Will come again.
My family and I had a great time. Perfect place to enjoy the beach and then peace and quiet at night. Bikes were great for back and forth to the beach and kayaks allowed us to get up close with the dolphins. Clean, accomodating, and exactly es described.
Jen's place was the perfect beach cottage on Manasota Key! The unit had just been remodeled and everything was pristine. The amenities offered were excellent as well, they had everything needed for a beach vacation so you don't have to worry about bringing anything.
Location was also great. Easy walk to the beach. Restaurants were a little further but my 5 year old managed without complaints!
Beautiful place and wonderful host! We will definitely come back to visit!
I stayed here previously with some friends and absolutely loved it. I took my family there this time around and they loved it just as much! Great place to stay and walking distance to the beach!
This was the perfect place to spend the last two days of our Florida vacation. Very clean, had everything we could need, and all of the beach items were great. A quick walk to the beach and very quiet at night. We would love to stay here again in the future! The bottle of wine and cold beers in the fridge were the cherry on top after a day of travel!
Single mom traveling with two teenage girls. Needless to say, I wanted a safe place that was really close to the beach. This place was perfect in every way. Jen and Eddie have thought of Everything! There were even snacks and cold drinks to revive the weary traveling teens. Another family stayed in the adjacent unit, but we did not hear them at all. Nighttime was so peaceful. There were super fancy beach chairs and an umbrella that did not blow away or flip inside out - already packed into a beach cart! The bicycles were adorable and fun. Bring a backpack so you can haul your souvenirs back from the surf shop on the bike. I could go on and on. This place is amazing and we had a wonderful time!
Great place place to stay. Very clean.
We had a wonderful stay in Englewood. The unit is very clean, bright and cheery. It is stocked with everything you need for a fun vacation. Jen went above and beyond with a few surprises upon check in that were a very nice touch and made us feel welcome. We met our neighbors and had fun kayaking and paddle boarding on Lemon Bay. The beach is also a quick walk. Everyone is town was very friendly and welcoming as well. I highly recommend staying here and would not hesitate to stay again if I’m ever back in Englewood!
Great family cottage!!
Great place to stay!
Great experience all around. I would highly recommend this place and the host really understand how to design first rate Airbnb experience.
Had a fantastic trip and our stay at Jen’s place helped make it a great weekend! Property was clean and great convenient location to local restaurants and beaches. The amenities on the property (especially use of the bikes) made for an easy way to get around. Would love to stay here again! Jen was very easy to communicate with and helpful also!
We enjoyed our quick stay here. Great location, very clean, and we enjoyed using the bikes! Jen always responded quickly with any questions we had leading up to our stay.
Jen was a great host and so helpful and the airbnb was perfect.
Such a cute and clean place! Everything was as stated and all the beach "toys" were fantastic! We had a great time and will be back!
Everything was absolutely gorgeous! It was so close to the beach and cute restaurants! The water is gorgeous and we got to see dolphins as well! This is the perfect place to vacation with your significant other! Thank you for everything!
If this place is available, look no further! Updated and adorable, clean and so comfortable! We were there in May 2022 and it was quiet, even with another family next door. The air was on, ready for us. The sheets were soft and already on the bed! TVs in both bedrooms and the living space. The photos really do not do this place justice. Walking distance to the beaches and a gear-stroller is ready to go! There are coolers here, so you don’t need to bring even a collapsible one. Beach towels, too. Not one complaint. I don’t think you’ll have one either, but if you do, the owners are super responsive. This place is so stinkin’ cute!
We loved our stay at Shorebirds on Manasota. We discovered a new key, adorable and small peninsula. We loved the bikes, kayaks and paddle boards, the house was so quaint and clean and the grounds even better. Thank you Jen!
Perfect place to spend a vacation. Cozy. Clean. Decorated to give that ocean side feel. Bikes, kayaks, fire pits close to restaurants and beach. It has everything you need!
