About this property
Best Location on Manasota Key, Cottage Sleeps 3, Kayaks and Wi-Fi
Turtles and Toes is a peaceful and relaxing refuge that will refresh your mind and soul.
The 600 square foot updated and charming cottage RIGHT ON THE BEACH is where you can sunbathe, swim, snorkel, collect shells and sharks' teeth, and fish with a spectacular 180 degree exposure to the Gulf of America.
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 king-size bed and a wall-mounted 52" flat screen TV, Sonos, Wi-Fi, and a sleek, well-supplied kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful walnut island. The expansive terrace has two tables and chairs as well as chairs and umbrellas for the beach.
With health safety in mind, you may check in and check out independently.
But being the actual owners who live nearby, we are readily available!
We have very high cleanliness standards, disinfecting everything with the appropriate products.
The modernized Old Florida cottage is over the North Key drawbridge to Manasota Key and off a private lane. It is isolated, yet it is near shopping, 15 golf courses, restaurants, and the many amenities and events that Venice and Englewood have to offer.
Please be aware that large pick up trucks or any very large vehicle will have difficulty turning around in the driveway or lane.

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.
