What an adorable bungalow!
This property is really perfect! Wish we had longer to stay and will definitely come back! Steps to water on either side. Don’t miss the sunsets on the beach to the west. To the east, Lemon Bay is just down the road. Be sure to notice the amazing garden 2 houses down the road - clearly a labor of love! Easy access to restaurants and activities, but still super quiet - the perfect balance. The furnishings and decorations in the Bay Breeze Bungalow are very comfortable and classy. The property is top notch!

Quaint but clean
As expected. Very clean, but a bit of a musty smell. Would be nice if there were longer hours to use common spaces--9 pm seems more reasonable, especially in the winter. Access to the beach and beach gear were great.

Perfect location!
The location was fantastic! The beach was a quick, block and a half walk away. Beach chairs, towels, and other items were available. We loved having access to kayaks and paddling in Lemon Bay. The studio was clean and well appointed. Many starter items, a bottle of wine, and other goodies were there to welcome us. Communication was easy with the owners. The only complaint I had was that the “posh” bed was not to our liking. Please keep in mind that this is very subjective. Others may love the bed, we did not.

Hi! My husband Frank had fond memories visiting Manasota Key Beach with his grandparents every year. We later met each other after college on a Florida vacation - introduced by grandparents! We knew we just had to find a special place on they Key some day. We spent years looking for the perfect place in the perfect location & Blue Starfish Beach Resort was born:).

Numerous FREE desirable amenities. We noticed a number of area beaches disappeared in high tide & we loved how our beach is plentiful with sand at all times and never gets crowded - it is our little bit of paradise which we are thrilled to share with our guests. We love that we can quickly walk to so many activities. Just one minute walk and we our sipping mimosas with our toes in the ocean. One minute walk the opposite way to enjoy the tranquil waters of Lemon Bay & be amazed as dolphins jump. Only 5 minute walk to our left is the magical, #1 rated local attraction - Stump Pass State Beach Park - acres of secluded shoreline. Ready for some fun night-life- walk just 8 minutes down our beach to the key's 4 most popular restaurants with live tropical music, comfy outdoor seating & casual dining plus free beach yoga classes & reasonably priced watersports rentals - jet ski, parasailing, boating etc.
Our beach villas were just renovated to offer everything we like to have when on a beach vacation - all the comforts of home are included plus free amenities galore. We want each guest to have an amazing beach vacation with memories to last a life time. It is our absolute pleasure to be your hosts!
