About this property

Bayfront Boat House Bungalow

Panoramic windows face the Inlet -- Just a sidewalk's width from the water of this cozy queen studio. Equipped with a full kitchen, this "boat house" (on land) is truly unique, and still just 200 feet from our private beach on Casey Key. Experience an open floor plan, newly remodeled italian marble floors, kitchenette and sitting area.

Casey Key Resort provides a unique experience on Casey Key -- With Gulf Front beach on one side of the property and Venice Inlet waterfront on the other! It's a quiet, secluded area with mostly residential homes. No condos or high rises will spoil the peace and tranquility of relaxing by the Beach.

On the Venice Inlet, you can fish, kayak, paddleboard or watch the variety of waterfowl. On the beach, search for sharks teeth, relax in one of our beach loungers or sit in our large pavilion overlooking the Gulf. As part of our Casey Key Beach Club, you can rent luxury beach loungers, umbrellas and wagons from us!

The Resort is a four acre Gulf to Bay property with 200 feet of private beach frontage as well as dockage on the Bay. The 25 individual bungalow residences are comprised of studio efficiencies, one bedroom one bath, two bedroom two bath, and three bedroom two bath units all with full kitchens nestled among coconut palms. Staff are on site daily to help you.

Come relax by the Beach and unwind. We look forward to serving you!

Great view on waterway

A great stay. We liked watching all the boats going in and out of the water. Only disappointment was there was no laundry facilities. I thought I saw on the site that there was. A great place for an extended weekend.

Modern and cute

The staff are so friendly and accommodating! Great unit on the inlet, Yet so close to the beach. We didn’t miss having a pool at all, and there are several dining options nearby. Great beach, very private, as it is a decent walk from the public beach (Nokomis).

Awesome Location. Loved the Boat House

This is the best of both worlds. We stayed in the boathouse on the canal And a very short walk across the property and you are on the gulf! Only bad thing was the red tide. No fault of the property.

Super relaxing

It felt like being in a houseboat surrounded by water. It is very compact but super functional. My husband and I fell in love with it as soon as we saw the posting...even though we swear we never stay in a place without a KB. We are so glad we let our intuition prevail. And the QB was comfortable and in no way an issue. The location is great also. There are a couple fine restaurants within a 10-min walk and it is an easy drive to Venice.

Loved it!

Absolutely loved everything about it! The location, free entertainment at the boat ramp across the inlet and easy access to the beach. The only thing the Boat House lacked was a freezer and a Keurig (reg coffee maker was available). We bought a styrofoam cooler to help hold ice and it was doable all other amenities were great. Definitely would like to come back.

Just fabulous

This exquisitely renovated boathouse is perfect for a single or couple. Almost in the water (as any boathouse should be), it turns a small space into a beautifully designed and fully outfitted studio. We brought friends into see it and they were amazed, each wanting to recommend it to other friends. The beach and other amenities are shared with other guests of Casey Key Resort, but this unit is separate and very private, with a lovely place for two to eat outside. Look at the pictures. They do not lie. Very highly recommended, especially to those who enjoy a lovely sunrise (it faces East).

Small but sweet and nice location.

This building is small but we expected this as it was explained in the description, slightly smaller than the size of a typical hotel room. It was nice to be able to watch boats being launched from the boat landing across the inlet from the building. There was no gasoline odor either. This is as a nice place to stay. It was clean and close to the ocean and to Nokomis Beach as well as having nice private beach access as part of the resort . Venice, FL was not too far away and there were a lot of cute shops there. Watching the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico while sitting under the pavilion or on the beach was a highlight. Also, we were able to see dolphins in the water by the North Jetty, about a mile walk from this unit.

Cool Place

Quaint little place right on inlet and across from boat ramp so entertaining watching people load and unload boats all day. Short walk to private beach just across street. Quiet during the week busier on weekend. Only recommendation would be at least 3 towels instead of two for women like to put their hair in towel and a king bed little softer would have been perfect.

Casey Key

We had a most wonderful time staying at the "Boathouse" efficiency cottage on Casey Key. The location is absolute perfection with large windows looking out at the waterview on three sides. The boats coming and going at the boat launch across the inlet, followed by swarms of pelicans, are fascinating to watch. The cottage provides all modern amenities and is nicely decorated. We did not want to leave!

Hidden Treasure

We are so glad we found this hidden treasure! This unit is privately separated from the others and almost surrounded by water. We loved the privacy! The staff was very friendly and efficient with our needs. This location has a little bit of everything to offer including great food in the area (Pop's was our favorite), easy access boat and kayak launch sites nearby, and direct beach access. We rented bicycles from a nearby company for a low cost and enjoyed roaming Casey Key. Don't miss out on the sunsets! We will be back!
