About this property
120 steps to beach! Safely on the beach side of the road!
Lazy Days beach cottage is a comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath home that is just 120 steps from the Gulf of Mexico. The home is well-stocked and ideally located between the public beach and Stump Pass State Park on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. Stumpy’s “free golf cart ride” stops at the home for island transportation.
"Tarpon Capital of the World". This area is the state's second largest marine estuary, species making it one of the best places to fish in Florida.
Discover the wonders of Stump Pass Park, where you can explore 265 acres of sandy trails, boating, and pristine beaches. Encounter diverse wildlife including herons, pelicans, and dolphins. Don't miss the sea turtle nests coming alive with hatchlings from May 1 to October 31.
Fossilized shark's teeth are a favorite find for beachcombers, and you'll find many among the shells. Snorkel in the clear water for sand dollars and tropical treasures. Set up your umbrella and enjoy peaceful sunsets undisturbed, away from the public beach.
Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit and we supply the fun:
*Smart T.V.’s in every room
*High speed internet
*Beach Cruisers
*Kayaks
*Hammock
*Outdoor Fire Pit
*BBQ

About the host
Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer
My story with this house began the moment I stepped onto the property. I instantly fell in love with Manasota and this house, especially that first, effortless walk—less than a minute—down to the beach, diving headfirst into that beautiful, big blue ocean. It wasn't just a purchase; it was a realization of a dream I share with my entire family, who also own the nearby Amanda Seahorse cottage.
