The Manatee: Bring Your Dog, Stay for the Sun

Summary:
Breakfast around the window-lined dining table, a one-block walk to the beach, then a dip in the shared heated pool. The Manatee gives six guests three proper beds: a king in one bedroom and two queens in the other.

This upstairs apartment has an equipped kitchen, free shared laundry and beach gear. Up to two friendly, quiet dogs, each 50 lb or less, are welcome with a $200 non-refundable pet fee. One flight of stairs is required.

The Space:
Bring everyone to breakfast around the window-lined dining table, then pack the shared beach wagon for a one-block walk to the sand. At The Manatee, your holiday can move from a beach morning to a shared-pool afternoon without a complicated plan.

Two bedrooms hold all three beds: a king in the primary bedroom and two queens in the second. Up to six guests can sleep in the bedrooms, leaving the living room ready for conversation or a movie.

This upstairs apartment is reached by one flight of stairs. Friendly, quiet dogs are welcome within the pet limits listed below. The heated pool, courtyard, grilling area, laundry and beach equipment are shared with other Inn guests.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The primary bedroom has a king bed with a mattress topper and a Smart TV. In the second bedroom, two queen beds share one room, with upgraded linens, clothing storage and another Smart TV.

All three beds are in the two bedrooms, so up to six guests can sleep without converting the living-room sofa. The two queens are together in the second bedroom; this is a two-bedroom apartment, not a three-bedroom home.

BATHROOM
One remodeled bathroom has updated tile and a walk-in shower. Fresh towels, a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body soap and shower gel are provided. Freshen up after the sand before everyone gathers for dinner.

UPSTAIRS ACCESS
The apartment is on the second floor, reached by one flight of stairs. Plan luggage and access around the needs of everyone in your group.

KITCHEN & DINING
The window-lined dining area has seating for six, making breakfast or a long dinner part of your time together. The kitchen includes a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster and blender, along with cookware, dishes and silverware.

Make coffee before your walk to the beach or prepare dinner when a meal at home sounds right. The living area has a sofa, armchair and Smart TV, with an open connection to the kitchen and dining area. Wi-Fi is available.

SHARED POOL & COURTYARD
The heated pool, courtyard seating and on-site propane grill are shared with other Inn guests. Choose a poolside chair between swims or bring a meal to the shared outdoor tables. These facilities are community spaces, rather than a private pool or courtyard for Manatee.

BEACH-DAY EXTRAS
The beach is one block away, with shared wagons, chairs and coolers available for your trips to the sand. Free shared laundry helps refresh swimsuits and beach towels, and free on-site parking is provided.

COMFORTS & FAMILY EXTRAS

BRINGING YOUR DOG
Up to two friendly, quiet dogs, each weighing 50 lb or less, are welcome under the existing policy, with a $200 non-refundable pet fee. Keep the full house rules in mind when planning your stay.
