Manasota Key Resort - Englewood, Florida

Elizabeth Smith

This was a dream vacation. The resort was absolutely beautiful and had so much to offer.

Lemon bay market had great food. The chairs are extremely comfortable to sit in and the turf area had a ton of activity offerings. Our room was on the gulf side but a courtyard / pool view and There was a seawall with tons of seating nearby to watch the sunset. They have a lending library and a toy borrowing area. We found and used an umbrella from the borrowing area the last day and were grateful for the extra shade since we forgot one. We found tons of shark teeth too.

The rooms are beautiful and they do have pet friendly ones as well as a dog walking area.

Every single resort employee we interacted with on the phone and throughout our vacation was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind. They made sure we had a room to accommodate our dog, since we hadn’t known how to do that on the site when we booked.

We will be back, this is by far the nicest vacation we’ve taken- it’s quiet, beautiful, friendly and welcoming with a lot of activities and options.

Our first time in Manasota Key. We were celebrating our anniversary and were surprised by the staff with a personalized card and bottle of champagne.
We stayed in a 1 bedroom bungalow. It was complete with kitchen living space dining space with separate sleeping space. Very comfortable!! Enjoyed paddle board, mini golf, ping pong and right out door was cornhole and a hammock. The ocean was steps away but I will warn you no sandy beach. Crushed shells so come prepared. We will gladly return staff were friendly and very clean and lush property.

Peaceful weekend getaway. Celebrating our wedding anniversary at this beautiful resort made it extra special. The accommodations were fantastic. I loved the beach theme room decor was very calming. The one bedroom suite had everything we needed for our stay. We had ocean front view to watch the spectacular turquoise waters from our balcony. The staff was very friendly and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be coming back many more times. And sure to tell our friends and family about this hidden gem.

My family has stayed at the Manasota key resort the last 3 years for our family reunion. The location is great surrounded by water with the beach on one side and a place to pull up on boats on the other. They recently added a restaurant which was convenient with good food that we enjoyed! The staff is very friendly and accommodating ?

Our family reunion consists of 100+ people some years with 40 or so rooms booked. As much as I love this place, the prices have gotten too high for all of our family to afford since we do this annually and many of the family members have to fly, book a rental car etc. When we found this hotel 3 years ago the prices were manageable. Wish they would go back to something everyone could afford.

Best vacation ever! Thank you for the stellar service! Location was perfect! Shelley and the wonderful lady with the bejeweled lash’s & Carson were great!! Beautiful location, awesome room! The only thing that would have made it completely perfect would have been if the beach bar & market were open all week but besides that.. fantastic! Thank you so much!! See you next year!

Our time at Manasota Key Resort was unforgettable! We stayed 2 years ago and were blown away with all of the upgrades since we last visited. Our room was absolutely adorable and impeccably clean (which would seem to be impossible being on the ground level on the beach but they managed to do it!). EVERY single staff member was BEYOND helpful and friendly. The amenities were countless, the grounds were beautiful, and our smiles were endless. We can’t wait to go back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip here! Our goal was to find shark teeth with our children and we found 25 without any special equipment! The kayaks were great, my husband and son fished off the dock at night and saw lots of snook (need live shrimp). We enjoyed the Lock N Key restaurant during our stay. Truly an incredible resort!

Overall terrific with great staff (this was my second stay)! Couple of recommendations:
1. Mats at front doors and maybe on balcony to help pick up sand.
2. Workout towels in fitness studio.
3. Ensure luggage carts have pumped up tires.
4. Some beach chairs are getting worn out.

Rooms are well appointed with everything you need. Love full size fridge. There is only a two burner stove with no oven (just a decent sized toaster oven). The amenities/pool/bikes, etc are excellent.
