Very nice.
The house was nice and as pictured in the listing. The owner was very cooperative and responded immediately to my texts. There is a nice view of the gulf, but you have to drive every day to get to a beach. Due to my age and medical issues I found all the stairs to be quite challenging., but it is still a nice place to stay.

Beautiful property!
We booked this property for a family reunion, there were eight adults total. The whole house was perfect for our family and gave everyone the privacy they needed, but yet had wonderful gathering spaces to enjoy the beautiful views of the gulf. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning on the upper deck, and had dinners on the living room deck, enjoying the sunsets over the canal. The kayaks and paddle boards were a great addition as we enjoyed the water and the wildlife. Nikki was a great host and very communicative. She responded quickly and the check in process went smoothly. I highly recommend this property as it was very clean and nicely updated. So many amenities including a nice washer and dryer to wash up after a day at the beach. The master suite was my favorite with its private deck, views, and coffee bar and mini fridge. Overall, a great place to stay!

Mangrove Manner Vacation
The Mangrove Manner was magnificent! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the space, amenities and spectacular views! We have seen many animals in our travels around the world, but the active and abundant wildlife that live in the mangrove ecosystem marveled us every day! We saw a hammerhead shark, manatee, stingrays, dolphins and other beautiful sealife! In addition, my family enjoyed the massive swim spa and fishing off the dock! Finally, we thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views (of the canal, mangrove and gulf) from our third story master bedroom! We highly recommend this VRBO—it’s a true piece of paradise and Nikki is an excellent host and communicator—thank you. Nikki!

Awesome house! Even better host!
We have rented for many years from VRBO for our family. We have a wide range of ages so it's usually difficult to find a house that works. The Mangrove Manor was perfect. The house is immaculately clean, spacious, wonderful amenities. The host was so responsive and answered any questions or concerns that we had before and during our stay. I can not say enough good things about this vacation home or the hosts. It will not disappoint!!

About the host

Hosted by Nikki

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Nikki. My husband Mike and I purchased this property in April 2017. We've spent the last couple of months building this amazing new two story home. We hope to someday use this home as our retirement home but for now we want to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We loved that this house is in a peaceful neighborhood with great neighbors. We especially LOVE the nightly sunsets that will forever be unspoiled! The mangroves, between our dock and the Gulf, cannot be built on. We couldn't be more lucky!

What makes this property unique

Amazing sunsets and so much wildlife! The mangrove is full of stingrays and at least 5 kinds of fish. We have been lucky enough to kayak with dolphins and manatees! Every day we are greeted by a new and interesting bird from the Great Blue Heron to the Roseate Spoonbill - it is never dull!
