Private home with a pool on a tropical island, only a 2 minute walk to the Gulf!

Come relax at our private home on tropical Manasota Key! Your toughest decision will be whether to swim at the semi-private beach on the Gulf of Mexico or in the pool with a view of Lemon Bay.

This charming home has everything you need for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway. The main living area has an open floor plan with a spacious living room, fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The living quarters are separated to allow friends or family to have a space all their own. One side of the house has a private owners suite with a king bed and full private bathroom with a walk in shower. The opposite side of the home has a bedroom with a queen bed with its own pool access, a bedroom with two twin beds and a large full bathroom. The covered patio area provides opportunities for open air dining and is attached to the screened-in lanai. The living room and all bedrooms are equipped with smart TV’s with streaming capabilities. Other amenities include an outdoor shower, gas grill and laundry room.

Manasota Key is a picturesque barrier island with an old Florida feel. The location offers easy access to plenty of outdoor activities including fishing, kayaking, golf, hiking and of course, beach combing! Both the sunsets over the gulf AND the sunrises over the bay are breathtaking! First-rate restaurants are just a mile away and live entertainment is available to you whenever the mood strikes.

Access to beach and access to beach equipment is great
We loved all of the little extras with this place; beach chairs, floaties, the outside shower is awesome! The location is fantastic to the beach, restaurants etc. The one thing I think is important to note is that the twin beds, I beleive, are kids beds. So my 6’ tall son was not fitting in the bed really well. But all in all…awesome rental! Beautiful vacation. Would definitely go back!

Great stay!
House was amazing and just what we were looking for. Spent hours upon hours in the pool and you could see the bay as you floated in the water. House has everything you would need and more. Beach was a short walk away. Golf cart shuttle will pick you up and drop you off to any restaurant up the road. Awesome happy hour specials at all the bars with Lock & Key bring the most fun with the scratchers. Already planning a return trip!

Not a good experience
When we first arrived at the property the front lock didn’t work, we contacted the owner and they sent someone to try to fix the lock twice. We were left with one key which wasn’t a big problem because we could just go to the back door to let ourselves in because the sliding doors didn’t lock at all. There was also no hot water in the guest bathroom.

Exactly what we needed
This rental was absolutely lovely and just what we were looking for! As seen in the pictures, it is not state of the art, but rather gives that true Florida feeling you had when you were a child. The location was great… We walked to the beach every day along the quaint, private path. The kids started and ended every single day in the pool. At one point the property manager came by to check on the pool, and she was absolutely fabulous to chat with. No complaints at all… The only recommendation I would have is if you like or need a softer pillow to bring your own. I ended up going out to purchase one and Left it in the home for future guests. Overall exactly what we were hoping for! Thank you so much!!

Perfect location to enjoy Manasota Key Beach
Our stay here was idilic. The beach was minutes away via a private foot path and the pool at the house perfect. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and private. The house was roomy and had all needed to make our 3 week vacation stress free and relaxing. Would have booked it for next year but someone beat us to it :)

Relaxing vacation
We had a great time at this property. We truly enjoyed being so close to the beach as well as having a private pool. We spent most of our time outside in the pool or looking for shark teeth at the beach. We walked down the beach to the restaurants twice for lunch! Our family truly enjoyed this area and cute little rental house.

Relaxing exploration hub
This property was a great place to stay for our family. It was a quick walk to the beach and the pool was great for big kids during little one’s naps. It was a quick drive to Blind Pass Beach, great paddle boarding locations (Bill Coy Preserve at Buck Creek was our favorite), and hiking spots. The kids loved finding shark teeth and fishing from the shore. We reeled in a small bonnethead shark by surprise! The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. It made for a simple and enjoyable vacation! Kirsten was also quick to help us the one time we needed something.
