About The Owner

This home is owned by two brothers and their families. We love sand, saltwater, swimming and especially fishing. We chose Manasota Key because it is quiet, uncommercialized and still represents the unspoiled old Florida.

What can anyone say that would describe their stay at THE BEACH HOUSE in less than a million words? Unfortunately, I have 2370 characters left to let anyone know how our vacation week turned out at this piece of "heaven on earth." Spectacular residence, worth every penny, marvelous, so much fun, breath taking views, relaxing. Sunsets, sunset, sunsets...on the deck or the beach! Did I mention relaxing and fun? We decided to dine-in, all but one meal. Way more fun cooking in a completely decked out kitchen, than going out. Sleeping arrangements - wonderfullllll! Everyone had room to move and a place to hide. The owners thought of everything. Our congrats to you! And our children loved the beach and the outdoor shower! We loved the special time it gave us to reconnect with our children and their families. The worst part of THE BEACH HOUSE...leaving it behind after 7 delicious days. Other highlights were shelling, shark teeth hunting for kids (and adults!); yoga for anyone at 9am on the beach, friendly people everywhere you walked, dolphins, pelicans, and as our grandchildren called him, Harry the Heron made his daily morning debut. Thanks again...we shall return!

My sister and I stayed in this beautiful home for the entire month of February, 2012 and 2013 as well. The house is so beautiful and spacious that we were able to entertain guests and family easily. The huge gourmet kitchen and beautiful deck eating area make cooking and serving a great pleasure!

Favorite activities were daily walks to explore Stump Pass State Park, kayaking and enjoying Margaritas at Flounders.

We can't wait to return!

Incredible beach house

5 of 5
Submitted: August 23, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This beach house is incredible in every way. It has the most breath taking view of the Gulf. We love the view and breeze from the top porch. Perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine. The house is so spacious and comfortable and so close to the beach. This was the second time my family and I (8 of us) stayed here. It is great for large groups. We love that the owners thought of everything you would need in a vacation house. That makes it so easy and relaxing. Thanks for the opportunity to stay here. I would recommend this place to anyone!! We love it and will definately return again!!

Nicest Vacation Home we've ever found

Our two families (4 “40-somethings”, with children now aged 20, 19, 16, 12 & 8) have been vacationing together on Manasota Key for years. This year, we were lucky enough to have discovered the Spofford property, and are now spoiled for anything less than this fabulous place!
It’s not easy to find a vacation home that sleeps nine. This place could not have been more perfect! TWO master King suites plus plenty of other comfortable “real” beds (not pull-outs) made for happy, well-rested people. And no fighting over bathroom time, with 3 ½, plus the outdoor shower. (nice!)
Incredible views from the spacious covered balcony! A perfect spot for watching the sunset and sunrise, every day; as well as feeling like you’re practically on the beach, but protected from the elements. MANY hours were spent there reading, doing art projects, and having great family time.
The Kitchen! Excellent – amazing array of equipment, and the separate grilling balcony was a big hit! We only went out to eat for one meal during the entire weeks’ stay.
So many things designed to keep everyone happy. The 1st floor family room with its Wii games was great for “indoor times”, keeping younger ones occupied, which provided others some peace and quiet ?. Didn’t even need to bring beach towels, and they had several beach chairs and a bunch of sand toys.
All in all, LOVED IT; we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!
(p.s. do note, as the owner describes, there are lots of stairs here)

Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: April 9, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
Our family ranging in age from 2 mos. to 94 yrs. gathered from Maine and Michigan to enjoy this heavenly spot. The house was beautiful inside and out-very clean and well-maintained. Its high construction provided spectacular views and the fenced area under the house was a cool place for little ones to play. The Gulf beach , a short walk away, was almost private. All of Manasota Key was surprisingly quiet for March in Florida. Stump Pass Park, the playground at the public beach (very close), boat rentals at a place near the bridge all provided lots of fun. We ate out just once at Mango Bistro in Engelwood because we so enjoyed the kitchen with a view, but there are restaurants within walking distance. The owners were very helpful and pleasant. We would recommend this to others and hope to return again with our family or friends.

My family and I spent a wonderful week on Manasota Key. This is a spectacular house in a beautiful area. The house has all the comforts and amenities you could ask for. Manasota Key is a relaxed, beautiful area. Lovely beach, restaurants within walking distance, close grocery store, spectacular sunsets, kayak and jet ski rental, para sailing. This was a fabulous vacation, one I did not want to leave. I hope to be back soon. Thank you!

This house and place is absolutely amazing. Our 16 months old loved the house, the beach and the water. We have to agree with all the prior reviews. The owners are great to deal with. If you are looking for a little place of paradise - this is it. We will be back.

Florida's Best Kept Secret

What can I say without being redundant. Our stay was awesome.
The best vacation, I believe, that my family ever had.
It goes without saying that two master bedrooms make for two happy couples. The children stayed comfortably in the "double" bunk bed room and the room with the single beds was perfect for my single daughter. There were plenty of bathrooms to keep everyone happy and the outdoor shower was PERFECT. Warm water cascading over you after a hot sandy, salty day on the beach...just gave you a satisfied feeling to end your day.
Our stay was in October and we pretty much had the beach to ourselves where we swam, snorkelled and fished daily. The weather was cool in the morning and HOT during the day. The dolphins and manatee swam by almost daily and we filled our coffers with shells and shark teeth.
It was paradise. The sunrises and sunsets were magnificent from the views on the upper deck.
Lynda was a pleasure to deal with and we felt like we were at home. The house was well stocked from linens to condiments, we couldn't ask for anything more.
I could probably go on and on about our stay here but can only say...rent it, experience being in paradise with all the comforts of home. We did and we are looking forward to going back because I believe this vacation home ruined us for all others.
