The location was perfect. The rooms were large and each had a full bathroom. The one difference on-line vs in-person was the boat dock which appeared to be storm-damaged and was missing the dock cover. The home could use spare bed blankets, and the kitchen accessories needed help like a broken toaster and lack of good large frying pans and sealed containers for food. The A/C worked great; the master bedroom had an additional portable A/C in the room but we felt it wasn't needed in March. The property management company wasn't very responsive despite great email commitments.

Thank you for staying with us at Manatee Cove and for sharing such thoughtful feedback, Frank. We’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout, en-suite bedrooms, and that perfect location, those are some of our favorite things about the home. We appreciate you noting the condition of the dock and a few kitchen items. Those details matter, and we’ve shared them with our team so they can be addressed and refreshed where needed. We’re especially sorry to hear that communication didn’t feel as responsive as it should have. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we’re taking a closer look to ensure we’re showing up for our guests in a more timely and consistent way. Thank you again for your feedback as it helps us continue to fine-tune the experience. We hope you were still able to enjoy a relaxing stay and would consider joining us again in the future.

Beautiful property in a great location on st Armand’s. Very comfortable beds and bathrooms. Couches are wonderful. Nice kitchen, could use a few more basics like salt and pepper, food storage containers, but that’s minor, it’s lovely. Pool, garage, patio, access to water, putting green…this place has everything!
Steven - Posted: 1/28/2026
Thank you for sharing this, Steven! We’re so glad you enjoyed the comfort, location, and all the extras—from the pool to the putting green. We appreciate the thoughtful note on the kitchen basics and will pass that along to the team. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back for another relaxed, luxury island stay in Siesta Key Luxury Rental Properties.

The property and location is first class. You can easily walk to Saint Armans Circle and enjoy shopping and dining. The kayaks were perfect to enjoy a evening cruise seeing manatee and dolphin right off the dock. The walk to the beach is a little long but there is a nice cart included (with chairs and umbrellas) to make transporting your beach gear easy.
Darren - Posted: 7/24/2025
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the property's prime location, the convenience of the kayaks, and the beach cart. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Thank you, Lido Key Vacations

Something for everyone
We had 6 adults and 4 children from 7 to 14 and there was so much for everyone to do. We were just a 3 minute walk to Lido beach with its beautiful white sand and a 1 minute walk to St Armand’s with its cute shops and multiple restaurants and ice cream places. The house had a great 20 foot putting green and a nice pool and outdoor patio area that the kids and adults could enjoy. The bedrooms were spacious and the master suite upstairs was really huge. We had a few issues with an AC condenser line leak, but the management company sent someone over promptly. We used the kayaks off our dock to paddle around the canal. We have rented homes for our group of 10 For several year and this property really has it all!
