Manatee's Retreat is a lovely cottage that is far larger than it appears. This home offers plenty of available parking on a parking pad or extra room for a game of basketball with the family. A small shed with a 4 person golf cart complementary with the rental of this home in season. In close proximity of the Sandcastle playground but also located in one of the most private areas of Beachwalk away from the hustle and bustle of it all.

Enter the front door of this charming cottage to a living area that has a cozy fireplace, plush couch you can easily curl up on and watch your favorite movie on the flat screen TV. A galley kitchen with mainstream stainless steal appliances and all the cooking items you need for a family dinner. A dinning area for 6 is tucked around the corner for the entire family to sit down and enjoy a meal. Open up the lovely french doors from this dinning area to a large screen porch with additional seating at the long picnic style table w/bench seating and extra chairs. A fire pit is available for guest use just outside this porch area for roasting marshmallows. The main level of this home offers a queen bedroom with a cable equip television and dresser for all your items to be tucked away for the feel of home. A main level full bathroom is attached with a set of stand alone washer and dryer.

Up the staircase to another bedroom with a twin over full bunk bed and television. A full bathroom is also located on this second level. The loft offers even more sleeping space! A twin daybed that pulls out to make a KING bed and if that's not enough the loft offers a small sitting space with a natural view off the walk out balcony.

This home sleeps 7 comfortably more than enough room for a family and offers the luxury of a golf cart and a private space to relax away from it all. Don't pass up the opportunity to stay at Manatees Retreat and make this home your home for a full week in season or a long weekend off season. Any time of year is the perfect time to enjoy this home.

We had a great stay! We have stayed in past years at the beachwalk vacation properties, and we loved the community and things to do. I love how easy they make the check-in process, very well organized and home was ready and clean when we arrived. We loved the location and privacy of manatee retreat, and that it comes with the golf cart during our stay. We also loved the screened porch area of the home. Only negative was the condition of some dishes, old and broken pots/pans. But other than that, everything was great!

Overall good experience. I was surprised to see so many homes in one area. I had something else in mind - it really is like an addition. Great location tho (close to beach). Overall cozy home. Remote control broken. Porch lights (front and back broken - told management but never fixed during our stay). Golf cart major plus. Kitchen fairly stocked. Enough to do your own cooking. Al's grocery nearby. Took forever to get my refund back. Went over labor day (~9/5) and I just received refund on 9/21 for my deposit. I called earlier to find out status of my refund and the office staff indicated that it was processed on 9/6 but it never was???? So be patient on your refund. You will get it back, just may take awhile! Again, cozy home - I just wish it was in a more of a semi-private setting. I was unaware there were so many homes at that location.

Sweet stay at Manatees Retreat

We love the location of Manatees, tucked back in the rear of the property. Our kids are able to walk to the playground safely and cruise the area on their bikes. The house is spacious and provides most everything we needed during our stay.

Great location. Great vacation experience. The golf cart was definitely a selling point. We would not have enjoyed walking that far everyday. Beach chairs handy and appreciated the toilet paper, dishwasher and dish soap provided even though it was not stated on the form. My son loved the basketball hoop and close proximity of playground was great. No problems with manatee retreat. Seemed clean. Only maintenance problem was that the bathroom door on main floor did not close presenting privacy issues for the bedroom. If they are looking to stock anything new I would suggest a 13 x 9 pan for baking. We also could not find hot pads to use so had to use towels. We did a lot of cooking in oven and on gas stove and pan handles got really hot. Thanks for a great vacation experience!

Manatee third visit in 5 years.

wonderful home...close to park...can send the kids out to play without needing to be there....very dissatisfied and upset with the security guard who was giving out 'tickets' warning stickers to way too many people for parking...if you're going to advertise the house comes with a golf cart which with about 75 homes they all do...you need to provide parking places and much bigger near the Lake board walk....many people complained that the golf cart is a big selling point and if you can't account for the parking need...you lose our future business....not happy and neither were many guests.

This was a lovely little home away from home! We spent a cold family weekend here cuddled up on the couch, enjoying the fireplace and watching movies. (We hit a redbox about 10 minutes away; maybe pack some DVDs for cold weather to add to their stock?) The property was clean and more than enough for a family of 4. The windchill hovered around zero when we visited and it was still amazing. The kids loved the loft area. I can't imagine what a blast it would be during the summer. I'm working on a girls weekend when the weather is warmer! I already have recommended to family members to check this place out! Management was flexible with both check in and out. I only wish we had stayed one more night!

House was ready. Golf cart was charged. Everything in home was clean. Fireplace refused to light----maintenance man was a great help to us. He provided town information with a smile.

Very relaxing!

We had an amazing time. We really enjoyed the screened in porch b/c we had a large group in multiple houses and we were all able to gather here for one of the big meals b/c there was the additional porch seating. We had a very fun time!

We had a mini family reunion on the last four days before the start of school when family from Austin and Houston joined our Chicago bunch for some summer fun. Our daughter owns a cottage near Manatee's Retreat. Manatee accommodated four adults and a two year old very comfortably. Our daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren were able to join us for meals and game nights. The cottage was clean, beautifully furnished and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the screened back porch. During a rainy spell it was a wonderful gathering place. On night we had "somemores" around the fire pit. The golf cart was also a great help. The pool and beach were wonderful. I would highly recommend Manatee's Retreat for family fun.

Review Date: 07/28/2015

My husband, two kids and I stayed here for a week and found the cabin to be just what we needed. There was plenty of room for us each to have our own private spot when we needed quiet, but the family room and dining room were large enough for us to get together for meals and playing games. We really appreciated having the golf cart... there was no way we could have walked to the beach with our two young kids and all of our beach supplies without it. Another benefit was that it is located towards the back of the neighborhood, so we didn't get a lot of traffic or noise. The house is across the street from the playground, so sometimes you'd hear kids yelling, but that was only during the few hours of the day when we had windows open. For the most part the playground was deserted, and personally, we liked the proximity. Most of the house is surrounded by trees, and one morning we saw two deer! Having a washer/dryer was very handy also. The only downside of our stay was that there were some cleanliness/maintenance issues, such as a rip in the screen door that let in all sorts of bugs (we killed bugs all week long, but expected that given the woods-like setting) and the furniture and rugs were pretty grubby. I realize that it must be hard to keep rental furniture looking nice, but the couch was so stained I didn't feel comfortable sitting on it. The dining room chairs had chair pads that had just been placed over very visible stains that made sitting and eating there a little unpleasant. I would rent this cabin again due to the size, location, and price, but it would help a lot if the furniture had been professionally cleaned and/or covered with washable slipcovers.
