We are so incredibly grateful for the time, effort, and financial commitment it takes to join us for our wedding. Your presence truly means the world to us! More than just celebrating our love, we hope you'll take the opportunity to enjoy our little slice of paradise in Englewood and Manasota Key. Please keep in mind that January is a popular season on the Key, and accommodations tend to fill up quickly. We highly encourage you to book your lodging well in advance to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay. For those traveling from out of town, we recommend planning to stay the nights of January 2nd and 3rd, 2025, as our ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 PM on Saturday, January 3rd. We’d be heartbroken for anyone to miss it due to traveling! I've put together a list of accommodations located within 20 minutes of the venue. We have put some hotel and rental property recommendations. I also recommend expanding your search for hotels in Englewood, Placida, Venice, North Port, and Port Charlotte as these all are within a 30-minute radius of Manasota Key. Airbnb, VRBO, and Expedia have plenty of great options as well by searching "vacation rentals near Manasota Key." If you have any questions or need help, feel free to reach out to Drew and Peyton— we know the area well and would be happy to help! Thank you again for your love and support—whether near or far, we feel so blessed to have you in our lives! With love, Drew & Peyton

Travel Information

For our Orlando friends: Travel time can vary depending on when you leave. Typically, the drive from areas like UCF or Lake Mary takes about 3.5 to 4 hours if you’re heading out in the morning or early afternoon. However, we've found that leaving after 7 PM can cut the drive down to around 2 hours and 40 minutes—definitely something to keep in mind when planning your trip! For our friends and family coming from Michigan, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri and beyond: First and foremost, thank you so much for considering joining us—we’re truly honored to have you in our lives, whether you’re able to attend or not. For those flying in, we recommend checking out Punta Gorda Airport or Sarasota/Bradenton Airport, which are serviced by budget-friendly airlines like Spirit and Allegiant. If you’re looking for more flight options, Tampa International is the nearest major airport with a wider range of airlines and routes.

Hotel

Manasota Key Resort

Our top pick for staying directly on Manasota Key: This charming beachfront resort has been a favorite of the Tinsley fam and extended family since the early 2010s—we absolutely fell in love with it! Recently fully renovated, it offers a comfortable and relaxing stay right on the Key. It's just a short drive or a 10-minute walk to both the ceremony venue and our house, making it a super convenient option.
