About this property

120 steps to beach! Safely on the beach side of the road!

Lazy Days beach cottage is a comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath home that is just 120 steps from the Gulf of Mexico. The home is well-stocked and ideally located between the public beach and Stump Pass State Park on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. Stumpy’s “free golf cart ride” stops at the home for island transportation.

"Tarpon Capital of the World". This area is the state's second largest marine estuary, species making it one of the best places to fish in Florida.

Discover the wonders of Stump Pass Park, where you can explore 265 acres of sandy trails, boating, and pristine beaches. Encounter diverse wildlife including herons, pelicans, and dolphins. Don't miss the sea turtle nests coming alive with hatchlings from May 1 to October 31.

Fossilized shark's teeth are a favorite find for beachcombers, and you'll find many among the shells. Snorkel in the clear water for sand dollars and tropical treasures. Set up your umbrella and enjoy peaceful sunsets undisturbed, away from the public beach.

Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit and we supply the fun:
*Smart T.V.’s in every room
*High speed internet
*Beach Cruisers
*Kayaks
*Hammock
*Outdoor Fire Pit
*BBQ

Second time staying on Manasota Key near Englewood Beach. House is at a perfect location for beach access, restaurants, fishing charters, and more. Property was clean and well stocked - we used the kitchen for multiple dinners and had all we needed. Was too hot for the outdoor dining, but would be great in cooler weather. Would stay again without hesitation.

Awesome!!! The house was everything in the description and so much more. The house was spotless and extremely cozy. Just a short walk to the beach. Collected of 40 sharks teeth and a boat load of shells. Communication was spot on. Wife and I are already talking about coming back next year. Definetly worth it!!!

Best runaway weekend I’ve ever taken. I needed to clear my mind, to rest and this LazyDay stay did exactly that, it delivered. Communication with the host was spot‑on from start to finish, quick, and super helpful. The property description—both from the host on Vrbo and from previous renters—was completely accurate. It lived up to the hype and then some. Truly the perfect mind‑clearing getaway. Everything matched expectations, and the experience was exactly what I needed.

Lazy Days truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we walked in, we could tell how much care had gone into the property. Everything was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, and so welcoming. There were more than enough linens and towels, and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.We loved the covered parking and spent many mornings and evenings relaxing on the covered back patio. After long days at the beach, the outdoor shower with direct access to the bathrooms was such a thoughtful feature. The house was also stocked with plenty of beach supplies, so we didn't have to worry about bringing much with us. Best of all, the beach is only about 150 feet away. Being able to walk there in just a minute or two made this trip feel especially relaxing, and the beach itself was absolutely beautiful.The only small suggestion we have would be to provide a few additional kitchen cleaning supplies. We enjoy keeping the home clean during our stay and leaving it in great condition for the next guests and the owners.We made so many wonderful memories here and were genuinely sad to leave. Thank you for sharing such a lovely place with us. We will absolutely be staying at Lazy Days again the next time we visit Manasota Key!

The place was nice & location was good. It needed to have an easier check-in as the instructions for front & back doors were different than what was in the instructions. It would have been nice to have instructions for the TV’s. The bathrooms can use some updating & a toaster oven. Also disappointed that there weren’t 2 nice bikes to ride. Rusty & old & bike tire didn’t work. We liked that the beach was close by & could walk. Bed in primary bedroom was very comfortable & kitchen was nicely updated with washer & dryer. Overall it was good.

The house has been completely renovated and is in a great location. It is easily walkable to the bars/restaurants and Stump Pass. It is a very short walk down the road to the beach and we took the provided beach chairs down to the beach for most sunsets. The only negative is that the bathroom for the queen bedroom is a long walk away from the bedroom. All and all it was great- the owners and Perry did everything they could to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

Host profile image
My story with this house began the moment I stepped onto the property. I instantly fell in love with Manasota and this house, especially that first, effortless walk—less than a minute—down to the beach, diving headfirst into that beautiful, big blue ocean. It wasn't just a purchase; it was a realization of a dream I share with my entire family, who also own the nearby Amanda Seahorse cottage.

Why they chose this property

🏖️ Sharing the Dream of Peace

Over the years, we've shared our deep love for this unspoiled island through our investment property. It has been one of the most profoundly rewarding experiences to offer a sanctuary—a place of peace and deep relaxation—to those who work so hard and navigate the daily stresses of life. Our guests have been truly amazing, and the cottage has responded by being the perfect haven for their escapes.

What makes this property unique

🦈 The Key Highlights of Manasota Beach:

Unspoiled Atmosphere: Minimal development, which provides a true retreat into nature directly from the cottage.

Shark Tooth Hunting: It's part of Florida's famous "Shark Tooth Coast," making it a unique and fun activity for all ages.

Peaceful and Laid-Back: Known for its low crowds and tranquil vibe, perfect for long walks and unwinding.


🛎️ Your Family, Working for You

With our entire family experienced in real estate and professional property management, we pride ourselves on a tradition of service where the customer—you!—is our focus. When you stay at Lazy Days, you are not just renting a house; you are becoming part of our family's dedication to quality. We are committed to making your stay as seamless, comfortable, and memorable as possible.

We look forward to continuing our tradition of offering something truly special on Manasota Island and welcoming you to your next Lazy Day.
