I am so happy that I gave this quaint property a chance! Don’t let its size fool you, it has all the amenities you need, with exceptionally clean rooms and a location that makes it easy to tour the area. That’s just the beginning!!! The beds, pillows, and linens are the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced at a lodging property. The icing on the cake is the amazing customer service from the owner. My daughter and I felt like we were staying with family. We were treated so kindly and Anna went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Can’t wait to return!

The location is great for access to Manasota Key. I was there to address hurricane damage on the key and the hotel also had some damage to the pool which was being addressed. Anna, the property manager, was wonderful and would ask if I needed anything and was very sweet and helpful. The hotel is clean and safe. I was pleasantly surprised with a lovely stay.

Very friendly and helpful host! We were loaned beach umbrella and chairs the prior guests left behind, which made a huge difference going to the beach and avoiding sunburn. Short drive to the excellent Englewood public beach.

We booked thru Expedia and shortly after received a text message from Sun Life Beach Hotel
Informing us that they had no power or water from being hit by hurricane Milton. I have yet to figure out how to get this credited we had no stay and had to book at another location.
