Faaaaaabuuuuuuuulous
Loved the little yard , ate dinner out there almost every night . Great location, loved the little cart with beach chairs . Melinda was great very clear with house rules, checking in and out and any questions we had. Dog friendly was great and supplying blankets to cover furniture or bed and special towels for them was great . Having a washer and dryer was an extra bonus. Thank you. We needed a beach retreat.

Hi there!
I’ve traveled all over the world, but I currently live between Florida and Virginia, working as a holistic animal practitioner. I love to spend my free time fishing, which allows me to connect with nature and unwind in tranquility.

I aim to provide the best experience with personal service and local recommendations! Nothing is more reassuring than finding a place that feels like a second home on your travels!

Why they chose this property

The home is nestled on Manasota Key, a true paradise along the southwest coast of Florida, offering a tranquil, unspoiled, and nature-rich getaway. Located in the charming town of Englewood, this barrier island provides a unique blend of pristine beaches, abundant wildlife, and a laid-back atmosphere, making it a hidden gem on the Gulf Coast.

Manasota Key is renowned for its unspoiled beaches and untouched natural beauty. The four main public beaches—Englewood Beach, Blind Pass Beach, Manasota Beach, and Stump Pass Beach State Park—each have their distinct charm.

One of Manasota Key's unique claims to fame is its title as the "Shark Tooth Capital of the World." Fossilized shark teeth are often found on the island's shores, making it a popular destination for fossil hunters and beachcombers. You can spend hours searching for these ancient treasures washed ashore by the Gulf's gentle tides.

Manasota Key is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Stump Pass Beach State Park, at the southern tip of the island and right around the corner, offers hiking trails, and excellent birdwatching opportunities. Keep an eye out for ospreys, herons, and other coastal wildlife. Kayaking and paddleboarding are popular ways to explore the mangrove-lined waterways and spot dolphins and manatees.

Manasota Key is the perfect place to unwind. The island's unhurried pace and natural beauty encourage you to relax, read a book, or listen to the gentle waves lapping the shore. It's a peaceful retreat where you can disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with nature.

Here are some attractions you will be looking to visit during your stay.
