Serene Retreat - 5 mins to Beach, with Beach Gear, Firepit, Bicycles
Welcome to Pelican Hut!
Escape to a serene and welcoming beach home with old Florida charm.
Just 2.5 miles from Englewood Beach in Manasota Key, the sandy shores of the gulf are within a short drive or bike ride’s reach. Whether you love to swim, fish, go shelling, shark tooth hunting, or other water activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, parasailing, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
This newly remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features an inviting open concept, creating a seamless flow from the modern kitchen to the cozy living area.
Bedrooms / Bathrooms
The bedrooms and bathrooms are setup in a way that provides both privacy and convenience. The master bathroom is integrated into the master bedroom. For added versatility, the second bathroom and bedroom are separated by a pocket door, creating a distinct and private space – an ideal setup for two families or couples traveling together. This thoughtful design ensures that everyone enjoys their own retreat, making your stay a perfect blend of togetherness and personal space.
Sunroom & Lanai
Enjoy the Florida breeze in the screened lanai, indulge in some friendly competition at the gaming table, or unwind in the bright sunroom with a good book.
Outdoors
Venture outdoors to the cozy fire pit or cook a delicious meal in the grill. Backyard is fully fenced for your privacy. Enjoy the complimentary bikes for exploring the neighborhood. There is a selection of beach gear at your disposal including towels, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, beach wagon, boogie boards, shark tooth rake / sifter, and sand soys.
