About this property

Beachfront Cottage, Best location on Manasota Key, Sleeps 4, 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 Mexico. Turtles and Toes is a peaceful and relaxing refuge that will refresh your mind and soul.
Sleep and wake to the soothing sounds of the surf. Walk or jog the16 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, a bedroom TV, Blu-ray players, Sonos, Wi-Fi, and a sleek, well-supplied kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful walnut island. The large deck has a bistro table and chairs. There are many 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. Of course we are 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.

Tranquil Pre-Christmas Escape
What an amazing cottage! It is exactly as described. Outside pictures depict an older small cottage but the inside has been updated and is very cozy. There are other houses and cottages around it but everything makes it feel as if you have the beach completely to yourself. There aren't any high rises or public beach accesses so it's definitely not crowded and loud. We were there the week leading up to Christmas so I'm not sure if that was a factor. Upon stepping out on the porch, you feel you are on the beach...you couldn't be any closer. The sunsets are spectacular and you don't have to leave the premises! This is advertised as sleeping 4 but be aware that is 2 queens in the 1 bedroom so I would recommend this as a couple get away or a family with 2 small children or even a solo traveler wanting some tranquil time. It was the perfect location for us!

We really enjoyed our stay at Turtles and Toes! It's a nice cottage in a prime, quiet location. The owners clearly care about the quality of your stay and it shows. The cottage itself is cozy and was perfect for the two of us. The finishes have been updated nicely. We will definitely stay there again!

Great stay!
We had a great stay. The cottage is in a super location and very quiet surroundings. The cottage was extremely clean and very well-maintained, and had everything you needed. We would definitely stay there again, and would recommend it to others without hesitation.

About the host

Host profile image
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.
