About this property
Chillax on the Beach or by the Bay!
Private beach on the Gulf. A community dock with bay access. This bayside condo was renovated in October 2023 and it provides you with everything you need for the best, most relaxing vacation ever.
The unit is a second-floor 2-bedroom condo located in a very quiet, well-maintained, beautifully landscaped, 30-unit condo complex on Manasota Key within walking distance to Englewood Beach.
Our unit includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and spacious living room. Bedrooms consist of a king bed (serta perfect sleeper -the only official mattress of the National Sleep Foundation engineered to help solve 5 common sleep problems) in the primary bedroom, 2 twin beds in the secondary bedroom (mattresses replaced 12/2021), and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Our condo has plentiful towels for the beach and bath, beach chairs, and other amenities to make your vacation as comfortable as possible.
We do our very best to decorate and maintain everything in clean, working order as this is a vacation destination for friends as well. We use what you use so the towels, cutlery, and place settings are all kept fresh and purchased specifically for the unit vs. hand-me-downs brought from home. For entertainment, there is basic cable, Netflix, and Roku on a 50" LED TV with high-speed internet so you can enjoy some evening couch time or have options to keep the kids entertained so you can relax on the screened-in balcony. Our friends live here too so we understand your needs.
There are also great restaurants, bars, and shops all within a 5-10-minute walk.
POST HURRICANE HELENE & MILTON UPDATE:
The condo was not damaged in either hurricane, but the Association grounds and buildings were. The hurricanes brought 4' to 5' surges, leaving a deep layer of sand, especially on the Gulf side. The pool was completely submerged, and the wooden decking floated off the foundation. In addition, the boardwalk and wooden decks on the Gulf side remain buried under several feet of sand and sections of vinyl siding were blown off most buildings. Much recovery work has been done; for example, the pool was repaired and is now open. All air conditioning units have been replaced since they were all submerged. However, there are still noticeable unfinished projects that will be completed soon. One thing remains: the beach is beautiful, and the sunsets are spectacular!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jim Fraser
Our family loves Manasota Key and hunting for shark teeth on the beach. We bought this condo on the bayside to compliment the one we have on the gulf. The bayside seems to have a unique "chill" feeling that just lulls you into the whole laid-back feeling you get in Englewood. We love the fact you are within walking distance to great bars and restaurants frequented by the locals. And the short walk to a private section of the beach makes this condo very special.
Why they chose this property
If you want to people-watch, Englewood beach and park is a 5-minute walk or 0.2 miles away. Nature lovers will enjoy Stump Pass state park & beach which is 1.5 miles away. This is our family's favorite beach and one of the reasons we purchased on Manasota Key. Stump Pass is situated on the southernmost 1.2 miles of the Key and features a long hiking trail through the scrub and a quiet undeveloped beach. With very limited parking available you are guaranteed the most private, secluded, public beach experience in south-central Florida.
What makes this property unique
On your vacation, you will likely see dolphins and manatees, spectacular sunsets, and hear the calming sounds of the Gulf of Mexico on the private beach a short walk from the door.
Too much of the beach? Do what we do and take a break and relax by the heated pool or on the dock just outside the unit overlooking Lemon Bay, the intercoastal waterway. High-speed Internet access extends well outside the unit so you can get caught up on emails or surf the web while at the pool or the beach.
Enjoy fishing? If you don't want to charter a deep sea excursion at one of the local marinas or fish off the pier, just relax and fish off the private beach or bayside dock. It is all just a few steps away on private grounds.
There are also a number of great restaurants, bars, and shops all within a 5-10 minute walk. Many of these establishments feature live music and are also frequented by the locals so you know the quality of food and entertainment you can expect. Being within walking distance of restaurants, beaches, the pool, and the dock means you will go days without getting into your car for that relaxing resort-type atmosphere.
