Escape to the peaceful charm of Manasota Key and unwind in the lower level of this beautifully renovated duplex—your perfect coastal retreat. This inviting getaway features two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for families or small groups seeking rest and relaxation.

Step outside to enjoy the impressive 60-foot screened-in lanai, a true tropical oasis where you can sip coffee in the morning breeze or relax after a beach day surrounded by lush greenery. With beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, coolers, and towels provided, you’ll have everything you need for effortless days by the shore.

Just 175 steps from your door, you’ll discover a nearly private stretch of pristine 5-mile beach—perfect for shelling, searching for fossilized shark teeth, or simply soaking in the sun. Watch dolphins and manatees glide through the turquoise Gulf waters and stay for the sunset, when the sky bursts into brilliant shades of pink and gold.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love being just minutes from Stump Pass and Lemon Bay Aquatic Preserve, home to some of Florida’s best fishing and kayaking spots. When it’s time to explore, stroll or ride one of the complimentary bikes to nearby restaurants and shops—or hop on Stumpy’s Free Ride shuttle for easy transportation around the island.

Inside, you’ll find a stylish blend of comfort and convenience with Smart TVs in every room, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked kitchen. The thoughtfully designed layout includes a king bed, queen bed, and Murphy bed, accommodating up to six guests. Additional touches like central air conditioning, a washer/dryer, and a Pack ’n Play make this home both family-friendly and functional.

Experience the laid-back magic of Old Florida living in this peaceful coastal community—where beach days, bike rides, and unforgettable sunsets await. Book your stay today and make this serene Manasota Key retreat your home away from home.
