About Us

For years, our family looked forward to our annual summer vacation on Manasota Key. After packing the car with beach essentials, the requisite road-trip snacks, and gallons of sunscreen, we would journey from Southern Illinois to the sandy shores of Manasota Key to indulge in much-needed relaxation, salty beach air, beachcombing for treasures on Manasota Key’s unique living beaches, and sun-kissed days. Inevitably, as our vacation week flew by, the familiar longing for 'just one more day' would set in, and most often, if conditions allowed, we would extend our visit by 'just one more day' (or perhaps a few more days). This longing to extend precious family fun inspired the name of our Just One More Day rental program.

"Just one more day" at Manasota Beach, FL, is an invitation to extend your stay in paradise. Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of waves crashing on the shore and the warm, golden sun rising over the clear, turquoise waters. Spend your day strolling along the pristine, sandy shoreline as a curious beachcomber, collecting seashells and shark teeth and feeling the soft ocean breeze on your skin. Indulge in the ultimate relaxation as you bask in the sun or take a refreshing dip in the inviting Gulf waters. As the day draws to a close, savor a breathtaking sunset painting the sky in vibrant hues, marking the perfect ending to an idyllic day in this serene coastal haven. Just one more day at Manasota Beach offers a tranquil escape and the opportunity to savor every moment in this slice of ‘Old Florida’ paradise. Whether you add 'just one more day' to your stay or if you decide, as we did, to make your vacation last a lifetime, The Hesse family can help make your dreams a reality. Let us know how we can help!
