This house was perfect. The location is great. We enjoyed the heated pool and spa. It was really nice to sit in the spa on chilly nights. The 2 minute walk to the beach was so easy especially with all of the equipment that comes with house - chairs, beach cart, umbrella, cooler, beach toys, etc. Thank you Olaf and Marissa for such a lovely home.

We recently stayed at Manatee Watch for a week (2 Adults and 4 kids ages 17,16,13 and 10). This property was perfect for our family. It was clean, had all the amenities and was very comfortable. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and where we spent most of our time. It was a very short walk to the beach as well as to shops and a few restaurants. A short drive and you could easily get to everywhere on the island. Our host, Marissa, met us when we arrived and was extremely nice and welcoming. We hope to visit sometime again. Would highly recommend.

We have just had a fantastic 11-night vacation at Manatee Watch. The home is very well situated on a waterway, yet just a few minutes walk from beautiful Holmes Beach. There is a Publix a couple of minutes drive away along with a Walgreens and a range of good restaurants offering a range of options from breakfast to dinner. It is an easy drive to the other beaches, shops and restaurants on the island or down to Longboat and Lido Key. There’s great shopping and restaurants 30 mins away at St Armand Circle. The house itself is tastefully furnished and very comfortable, the kitchen is well supplied and most importantly the whole house is absolutely, spotlessly clean. By the lovely pool, is a covered area outside offering various, very welcome sitting options in the shade along with a barbecue and TV. We saw manatees, including a mother and baby, from the back deck every day: it was a truly wonderful experience. Olaf and Marissa were very easy to contact and communication and response were always excellent. It was lovely to meet them both on arrival and we appreciated the time they took to show us round and ensure we knew how everything worked. We had no issues at all during our stay: everything worked perfectly. We have stayed in a lot of vacation homes and this was by far our favourite: it was a very special home-from-home. We would highly recommend this beautiful house as a base on AMI and are already planning on when we could return. Thank you Olaf & Marissa.

We loved staying at Manatee Watch! We brought our 4 teenage boys and they loved the location to the sea, the trolley, their favorite breakfast spot and the pool and hot tub too. They fished on the dock and the pier too! The daily manatee sightings were an added bonus and such fun! The house was very clean and had a nice kitchen we cooked in a few times. Thank you to Olaf and Marissa :) Kindly, The Domingues/Kearstan Family.

Our family (3 young kids under 5) stayed here for the week and this place was just perfect!! Very clean, tons of fresh towels, felt very well kept up. Beds were firm but comfortable. Everything well stocked (without clutter) more so than other rentals we have stayed at. Pool and hot tub were clean and warm. Olaf greeted us on arrival and showed us how to work everything in the pool area. We definitely saw some manatees right off the dock, kids got sprayed by one and found it hilarious. Beach supplies were perfect with cart, pool floats, sand toys, chairs, umbrellas, cooler. Quick walk to the beach that was not crowded and absolutely gorgeous. We also loved the location. Quiet street with easy access to trolley, grocery store, beach etc. quick few minutes on golf cart to north of island but also closer to brandenton etc. if exploring south. Really recommend this place! Our family had an amazing time discovering AMI, and left feeling so refreshed! Thanks for hosting us :)

This home suited us to a tee. Right on a canal and a short walk to the beach. The house is very clean and well equipped, even beach chairs, pool floats and sand chairs. Can’t wait to return!

The property was very clean & felt bigger & brighter than the pictures showed. We loved watching the manatees from our deck every day. Very short walk to the beach & a wonderful pool & hot tub. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was amazing and was even better than the pictures showed. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, beach buggy, beach toys, beach umbrella, coolers and folding chairs. The back porch and pool area were great and anytime we weren't at the beach, this is where we were. The location was also great with a short, two block walk to a beautiful beach for locals. Definitely plan on coming back in the future!
