We were looking for a quiet week sitting on the beach, getting away from winter. The property was perfect! Owners next door checked up on us to make sure everything was fine. They had great restaurant suggestions. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for us. Highly recommend!

Peaceful location

We had a great stay! Everything was just as listed in VRBO, direct beach access across the street, manatees every evening on the bay side and so quiet and peaceful day and night! Communication was amazing for check in/out and also quick responses with any questions we had. The cottage itself was nicer than expected and plenty of space for 2 ppl.

Kozy on the Key

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kozy Kottsge. It is the perfect, little, couples retreat nestled into a great beach area. Manasota and the surrounding areas have so much to offer in beaches, recreation and restaurants. After a hot day playing on the beach, you can relax on the lanai in the shade and watch the wildlife in Lemon Bay. The hosts were also some of the nicest we have seen in our travels.

Better than Advertised

Our stay at the Kozy Kottage was great. It was clean. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The two minute walk to the beach was easy. The beach was fairly quiet when we were there (not many people). The sunsets were great. The town was nice as well. Tiki Bar and Grille was our favorite place we went back a few times. Locke and Key Restaurant and Farlow on the Water were also good food and service. We plan to come back to Manasota Key in the future and would definitely stay at the Kozy Kottage if it is available.

Kozy Kottage was clean and well appointed as described. Check in and check out were smooth and easy. The location is ideal for easy access to the beach and the bay. The hosts were great with communication and their attention to details made this a most enjoyable vacation. A trip to the Venice Audubon rookery is a must for bird lovers. Beachcomber restaurant was a favorite spot for a sandwich and a drink while watching the boats in the bay. Manasota Key is truly one of our favorite places.
