Manasota Beach Club has become a special place for my two sons and their families to visit in Englewood. The most beautiful accommodations and everything you want for a wonderful vacation. My family stayed in the Owl Thanksgiving, having Thanksgiving dinner at the Club, dinner was delicious.I want to say how proud I am that our area has the Manasota Beach Club. Thanks to everyone who had a part in making our stay enjoyable.

My entire family of nineteen people ages 7 to 81 spent 6 nights at the Manasota Beach Club and ALL loved it. There were so many activities to do from swimming in the pool, tennis, shuffleboard, hobie cat, kayaking, and real croquet.There was also tennis and croquet clinics with great instruction. In addition to those activities, there was a fabulous nature walk, where we visited a blue heron and egret rookery, a 40 year old bald eagle nest and fed acorns to scrub jays. There were evening dinners and activities for the kids. The biggest surprise was how incredible the food was. It was definately some of the best food I have ever eaten, very creative and imaginative. (I used to be a chef!) The club was extremely well run and a delight to stay there.
