About this property
Best Location on Manasota Key, Cottage Sleeps 3, Kayaks and Wi-Fi
Updated and charming cottage RIGHT ON THE BEACH where you can sunbathe, swim, snorkel, collect shells and sharks' teeth, and fish. Spectacular 180 degree exposure to the Gulf of America. Turtles and Toes is a peaceful and relaxing refuge that will refresh your mind and soul. Please be aware that large pick up trucks or any very large vehicle will have difficulty turning around in the driveway or lane.
Sleep and wake to the soothing sounds of the surf. Walk or jog the 16 miles of the sandy key. Be endlessly entertained by shore birds, pelicans, dolphins, turtles and tortoises, all right at your doorstep. Go shell or sharks' teeth hunting or kayaking, fly a kite, fish, or just chill out and be mesmerized by the emerald water. And you'll be amazed by the gorgeous sunsets followed by a star show that dips all the way into the sea.
You'll find a wall-mounted 52" flat screen TV, Sonos, Wi-Fi, and a sleek, well-supplied kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful walnut island. The expansive patio has a table and chairs as well as chairs and umbrellas for the beach.
With health safety in mind, you may check in and check out independently, letting us know when you do each. Being the actual owners, we are readily available if needed!
We have very high cleanliness standards, disinfecting everything with the appropriate products. The bed coverings and towels are washed in high temperature water.
We call this little hideaway "Turtles and Toes." It is over the North Key drawbridge to Manasota Key and down a private lane. Isolated, yet it is near shopping, 15 golf courses, restaurants, and the many amenities and events that Venice and Englewood have to offer.

About the host
Hosted by Donna and Joe Phipps

We moved permanently to Sarasota County in 2018 from Ohio after spending 5 winters here. This cottage on the beach is simply paradise and it gives us great pleasure to share it with our guests. The check in and check out procedures are contact free for the safety of us all. We'd love to hear a bit of your story too.
Why they chose this property
Turtles and Toes caught our eye because of its spectacular location. Then we discovered the delightful and comfortable interior of the cottage and it was irresistible. And so with a bit of work we now have a beautiful place to occupy ourselves and to share with others who we hope will appreciate the relaxing ambience and make lasting memories here.
What makes this property unique
A major benefit of course is being on the beach. At the same time, it is very close to many opportunities for sports, dining, shopping and sightseeing. Guests can take advantage of the many local attractions or, if they choose, remain sequestered at the cottage. Just about every evening you'll be treated to an awesome sunset.
The wildlife on the beach and in the water is endlessly entertaining.
Our welcome book inside the cottage highlights some of the many local places of interest and offers suggestions for restaurants and adventures.
