Reviewer Comments:
My family loved our stay at Beachwalk. So much to do. The house was wonderful and we loved that it came with a golf cart. It really made it easy getting around to all the different activities and areas of the resort. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. Some things to improve would be an ice and water dispenser for the fridge and the bed on the first floor was really hot. Not sure if it was the mattress or sheets or both. I would recommend this house and resort to my friends and those looking for a great family beach vacation.

We rented this just a couple days before our October fall break trip. The staff were wonderful to work with and provided a high chair at no additional cost. The home was clean and well maintained. It was much larger inside than I expected and each floor had its own room. It for our family of 5 perfectly. The full kitchen and large dining table were just what we needed compared to other homes we looked at. The couch was large to fit us all as well. And the egg chair was a hit! I do wish there was one pressure gate that we could rent or a couple of them that stay at this home for safety. We pushed two footstools to the bottom of the stairs to deter our baby climbing alone. Also the fire pit and outdoor back chairs sit in a tree covered area so you are continually dealing with acorns or squirrels overhead dropping them on you. If a few of the smaller trees were cut out, it looks like the landscaping goes further as does the rock area. It needs just a little updating in the back. The covered porch was great as well and we were able to watch deer in the mornings. And the golf cart was a fabulous addition being in the back of the complex. We loved our beach time and park play! A fabulous stay at manatee retreat! Thank you! Will come again! Can’t wait!

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Manatee’s Retreat. The location can’t be beat with it being close to the park and a short walk to the activity enter to rent paddle boards and kayaks. We had 3 kids with us and the top bunk was unusable. It made so much noise with the slightest turn that the person on the top and bottom bunk couldn’t sleep. We ended up having the top bunk kid sleep on the couch. The couch was a whole other story. It was so gross that they threw a blankets all over it to cover the stains and rips. I hate to complain because we had a great trip, but these houses are expensive and want to leave an honest review. The cleaning company did a great job. It was spotless. The house just needs someone to run through it and update beds and couches for the price you pay.
