This place is absolutely perfect. We had a Bayside view with Ocean access across the street!
The property is very well cared for and the care takers actually care.
We will return to this quaint neighborhood and great property.

Fourth stay at this property, but first time in this particular unit. The property as a whole is very nice and well maintained. Paint and maintenance are up to date. There is more than adequate parking and a community laundry facility. The large pool and deck area is shared by the building next door, but there is plenty of room. We brought a boat and the docks are far above average for the area. No loose boards or fittings. Fresh paint and non-skid on the treads. Plenty of wash hoses and power outlets. The unit itself was very clean and well appointed with comfortable furniture and newer appliances. Plenty of kitchen utensils, pots, and pans for meal prep. Traditional and "K" cup coffee maker. Lots of fluffy towels for the bath. Slept better than a baby in the comfortable bed. Large closet with a small drawer cubby for storage was just right. Back porch / patio had great view of Lemon Bay. With a constant parade of boats and wildlife there was always something interesting to see. The beach is just across the street with convenient access thru a sister property. Key code access on the door, so no having to pick up and return keys. Also one less thing in your pocket when you go to the beach.
John the property manager was right on top of making sure we got in ok. Very attentive to communications and a breeze to work with.
We've been coming to this area for decades and have stayed in a lot of places. These are some of the best for us. We will be staying here again.

What a lovely VRBO! I’ve stayed in many and my friend manages four of her own, so I know the ins and outs quite well. This place checks all the marks. Great location. Stocked well with plenty of household goods, towels, sheets, and beach accessories. There was everything one would need to enjoy this condo. Lovely view, impeccably clean, lovingly decorated. Would totally stay here again. Perfect for enjoying the beach and central to lots of neighboring towns. A+

Great location
We spent a week on Manasota Key at El Galeon East. The location was perfect. We went for a walk every morning in beautiful weather along Beach Rd and over the bridge to the mainland. It was an easy walk to several restaurants that were close by and the food was excellent. The beach was across the street so it was a 2 minute walk. Beach chairs and an umbrella were provided in the condo, so everything was perfect.

Small condo with dock space
It is priced just about right. Older property that could use a few upgrades. The highlight is that it is on the water and sitting on the balcony looking at boats. It was not crowded when we were there so we had a lot of privacy, however, the balcony is open to the neighbors balconies. Owner should replace the beach chairs and umbrella. They are old and the chairs are so rusty that I had rust stains on my white cover up! Otherwise, well stocked and had all we needed. The pool was very nice.

Great location!
The location of the condo is spot on as you overlook Lemon Bay from your lanai and are only a short walk to the beach. We did see occasional dolphins from our lanai which was wonderful and found it enjoyable to watch the boat traffic on the bay.
We were also within walking distance of many of the restaurants in the area which we took advantage.

Wonderful View
I very much enjoyed my stay in Bay Life Condo! The view was fantastic. The condo was very quiet, comfortable, clean, safe and had everything I needed for my stay. There were friendly people all around and nice restaurants nearby. I couldn't ask any more for a wonderful vacation on Manasota Key. I've been there many times but this was by far the nicest place I've stayed. I will return next year and hope to stay in the same condo again.

Very Clean with Beautiful Views
We loved our stay at the Klein’s Condo this year! The cleanest condo we’ve ever stayed in! Beautiful decor and everything thing you need for a home away from home! Loved seeing pelicans and dolphins from the porch each day! Short walk to a beautiful beach where we found over 400 sharks teeth during our stay! We can’t wait to come back!! Already planning our next trip with more family to join us! Thank you for sharing your Piece of Paradise with us!

El Galeon on Manasota Key
This property has a great view of the bay. The deck looks right out over one of the docks. The people that manage this property do a wonderful job of communicating and making sure everything is great. We even received new oversized beach towels to use for yoga on the beach!

The perfect vacation spot!
This beautifully decorated condo with tranquil views of Lemon Bay and the Intercostal, provided wonderful quiet times for resting while also being only a minute walk from all the “action”. Our days were spent with yoga on the beach every morning, walks or boat rides, lunches at different restaurants down the street all with daily and evening music entertainment. Don’t miss the Sunday drumcircles or Thursday open air market. This property is so well maintained and completely equipped, there was nothing else we needed, but just incase, the management made sure we could reach them. We highly recommend this condo and look forward to returning!

A Little Piece of Paradise
As soon as we walked we felt like we were in a beachy, relaxing atmosphere. Everything in the rental was bright, fresh, clean and up to date! The first thing we did was go out on the patio and see the amazing 180 degree water view! Steps away, across the street, is the gulf where the sandy beach was literally covered in shells of all kinds! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware and utensils just like home! I would most definitely recommend this rental, as well as the island itself, for beach goers, boaters, people who fish and those who enjoy good food, music, friendly people and relaxation!

Relaxing getaway
Cute condo with a fantastic view! We brought our boat, and were able to have it right in our back yard. The condo was equipped with everything we needed. The location close to all the restaurants is excellent. We could sit on the patio and listen to the music from The White Elephant pub. We would definitely go back!

Wonderful Vacation Spot!
My husband and I absolutely loved staying in this condo! It was very clean, tidy and simply designed. John and Carol were great with quick responses when we needed them. We will definitely be back. El Galeon is a spot my husband's family has been coming to for many many years and we will definitely be back to stay in this unit. Love the family vibe the complex carries. The view from our balcony was beautiful for breakfast and sunset; also most everything we needed was a short walk away. Thank you for your hospitality!! -Kaitlin & Jason

Beautiful Bay View!
My husband and I really enjoyed this condo. Everything was in great condition and it was so clean! Mornings and evenings on the lanai were truly beautiful. We saw dolphins near the dock every day and it is just a short walk across the street to the beach. A boat tour aroud the bay was a highlight of our stay. We hope to return to this condo.

Great vacation spot
My husband and I spent the month of April at El Galleon Condo in Manasota Key.
We highly recommend the apartment and the area.
The apartment was neat and sweet, we had all the comforts we needed for the month.
Joe and Carol were welcoming and available to us for any questions we had regarding the many things to do in area.
The balcony from the apartment gave us beautiful sunrises and lots of nature viewing. We saw dolphins, manatee lots of pelicans all from our own chairs!
The beach just across the street gave us spectacular sunsets and great shelling. Sharks teeth were the fun find.
We had our daughter and grand daughter visit for a week and they loved the place too.
We were all very comfortable and had plenty of activities to do for all ages.
Perfect vacation, we highly recommend!
Hope to do it again!
As a note, when I had a health issue, I was recommended to a walk in at Tiffany Mall, the place was wonderful, attentive and thorough. The best experience you could have with an emergency away from home.

Perfect vacation. Area is beautiful, Stump Pass SP is lovely and feels secluded. The Condo is sweet, clean and efficient. The owners are charming, and very helpful. The balcony view of Lemon bay was a real treat, sunrise, dolphins, long legged birds and MANATEES right there! The beach is a simple walk away, we did yoga on the beach (which is offered daily) great shelling and fantastic sunsets.The restaurants and music just up the street were fun too. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommended!
