About the host: I own two properties at Tamarind Gulf and Bay Condominiums. I have been an owner there since it opened in 1981.
I was born and raised in Michigan and attended U. of D. Jesuit High School and Michigan State University.
I lived in Ontario, Canada for 35 years mostly in Whitby. I returned to Michigan in 2010. I currently reside in Fenton, Michigan when I'm not on Manasota Key.
Why this property? I love the unit and the view is to die for!

Thanks very much for your kind words and I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. I look forward for your stay in 2025.
Tamarind Condo
The condo we rent from Bob Stanley is always kept neat and tidy and updated with all amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. The beach is steps away from the private patio and easy access to Englewood Public Beach. There are wonderful Gulf views with spectacular sunsets we've enjoyed with great folks - owners & renters alike. The heated pool is available across the road (easy walk) as well as bay side fishing/boating/kayaking for individuals to use. Tamarind is conveniently located within a short driving distance to restaurants and shopping. This Manasota Key location is quiet, lovely and away from the busy traffic that sometimes frustrates FL visitors/residents. Highly recommend the Tamarind Gulf & Bay Condominiums. Looking forward to visiting soon!

Thanks Steve and Cheryl for the kind review. I always enjoy having renters who are a pleasure to have using my units. Tamarind is truly my happy place and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you. Sometimes I enjoy just walking the one mile to where the restaurants and stores are, and other times we like to call Stumpy's free golf cart service to take us there if we don't feel like driving or walking. So many great choices await your visit! I look forward to you coming back again this year!
Our Happy Place
This year would have been our third consecutive, had Hurricane Ian not made its presence known last September. Our visits to your home on Manasota Key, have been so enjoyable it is hard to describe with only one word. "Fantastic, Terrific, Amazing" are all words that could be used, however we would say "Peaceful or Enjoyable" best suits your home to us. Your home, has definitely made its way into our hearts and has become our home away from home. Your condo has everything a family needs to make for a great vacation to the beach. The furnishings, bedding, kitchen items, washer/dryer, linens, wifi/TV's, beach and patio items are all more than adiquate for a family beach style vacation. We greatly appreciate your letting us visit. Thank you.

Thanks Perry for your review! We were both lucky to find each other and enjoy the beauty and peace you find at our relaxing vacation condo. I also enjoy sharing our love for our Alma Mater, Michigan State University! I look forward to having you back again this year to enjoy my beachfront condo's comfort and amazing views!
My wife and I rented B512 for 2 to 3 months/year for 14 years
The condo is about 100 ft. from the beach overlook and offers unparalleled sunset views. Our owner was always quick to respond positively to our inquiries!
