Amazing Experience
Submitted: February 23, 2013

My stay at the Sandbox was PHENOMENAL!! I highly recommend ANY time you can, to stay here. So many reasons why that it's hard to compose how I will say all of them!
The owners are very accommodating and just amazing people. The community is rich and absolutely wonderful. The beach is at your feet the moment you step out of the door, what a wonderful feeling! And the house, though steps from pure sand, is still close enough to stores and shops that it's not a hassle to "run to town". During my stay, I was lucky enough to see a large sea turtle, at least 3 feet wide, come ashore and lay eggs on the beach. A few days later, a friendly manatee was swimming along the sand bar and I was able to go up and pet the animal. Such an amazing experience to have nature going on around you. On the 4th of July, I watched fireworks displays to the North, East and South of the tranquil section of Manasota Key where we were. Definitely a view I will NEVER forget. Then, there's the SANDBOX! The beach house really does feel like home. The owners do a GREAT job of making sure that the guest(s) aren't without basic functionary things, and even add on to that feeling with typical household things that some beach house rentals don't offer. The decor is fantastic, the upkeep is top shelf and the backyard is an added and very appreciated bonus. The furniture is high quality, the appliances are equally fine, and the spacious layout will make you feel right at home. No longer the cramped, dull, boring, unimpressive spaces that most other rentals have...go to the SANDBOX! NOW!!

Ever think you could walk out your door into a perfect, moonlit FL night and walk a few yards to sit in the silence on the beach, watching a wonder of nature unfold? Well here you can....we DID! Huge sea turtles lumber out of the Gulf onto this beach to lay and bury their eggs each year. It's a truly amazing, in the wild, natural site! Ant that is just ONE of the many things that make this home AMAZING!
This adorable beach house looks even better in person than in these pictures. The owners spared no detail in giving it a true FL Beach House feel. It has everything you need and more. We've stayed here many times and it is always super clean and even well stocked with clean, luxurious beach towels! The location is perfect...one house back from the beach. You walk the equivalent of going next door and you are ON the very quiet, private beach. The beach has perfect shelling, sunning, fishing, playing and relaxing opportunities.
The owners are just a phone call away should you have any problems and are caring, friendly people. I would recommend this property to any couple, family or group. There is plenty of room and you will get a real taste of the FL beach house life walking on the beach at sunrise or sunset, visiting local restaurants or night life, walking to an amazing old light house or taking a drive to any number of area beaches within an hour's drive. Shopping too, is convenient on the key and in the adjoining town.
Give the beach house a try...you won't be sorry. It can easily become a family tradition!

The Sandbox was perfect for all of us, including our furry friends. It was very comfortable and had all the amenities of home, and then some. We enjoyed the sand, sun, and surf just a few steps away; or cooled down inside watching the Olympics, playing Scrabble, or reading. The Sandbox and Englewood are great finds and we'll be sure to visit again! Thank you Lisa & Tom for sharing The Sandbox! Don't forget to try the Wine Bistro (behind the boutique), it was another great find!

I've visited this beach house with my family and friends quite a few times in the past couple years and have always enjoyed our stay! Such a beautiful getaway, yet it has all the comforts of home. The beautiful view of the Gulf from the upstairs porch accompanied by the comfy hammock and cool breezes, makes it hard not to relax and enjoy yourself! With the quiet, almost private beach being just steps away, it allows less time to be spent on loading and unloading essentials in the car and trying to find a place to set up on the public beach and more time spent having fun. It is definitely a very comfortable, spacious, and accommodating place to stay!

We were needing a few day family retreat. This place was cozy and fit our family of 8 perfectly. Plenty of options for sleeping, fully working kitchen, and safe backyard for letting the dog outside to tinkle! Great place to hang out to get off the beach. We played board games and rested alot. The beach is just a few feet away with very easy access. My kids loved it and look forward to a return visit.

Absolutely beautiful vacation home packed full of
every amenity imaginable. From beach towels to
novels to video games to internet access...this place
has it all! In addition, you are one house from the
edge of the Gulf...just steps each day to be soaking
up the sun on the beach. The house is always
spotless and in perfect condition...looks like a
model home! HIGHLY recommended!

My family stayed here back in late Spring and had a wonderful time! There was plenty of room and the Beach is just a "Hop Skip and a Jump" really. My inlaws stayed down in Ft.Meyers and they liked this place better, so they visited us almost daily just about sunset time of course, the sunsets are amazing. Don't forget to get yourself a famous hot dog from Lock and Key within walking distance.
