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

We thoroughly enjoyed the pet-friendly environment, and our puppies Carly and Emma, had a wonderful time. The rooms, kitchen, and the entire space were charmingly decorated. Due to the impact of Hurricane Helena and Milton, the area had suffered significant damage, and many homes were still undergoing repairs. The hosts were delightful, and communication was prompt and efficient. We certainly plan to return.

Fabulous!

My BBF of many years and I had a weekend girl's trip and it could not have been better. The house is so nice, beautifully decorated and well stocked! It was a huge plus to have comfy beach chairs and beach towels. As we all know, those can't travel easily when flying. Loved our morning walks to the beach to enjoy our coffee. It really is just a short stroll. The beach was lovely and uncrowded and we spent most of our time there. It was so great to be able to walk back and forth to enjoy the beach. The beds were sooo comfy! Would definitely love to come back!

The host was very friendly and even let us check in early, which we appreciated. The location was good, and overall the house had potential for a great stay.That said, some advertised amenities weren’t as expected. The grill hadn’t been cleaned, the beach umbrellas and cart were broken, and the ice maker didn’t work. Only a few laundry strips were provided, yet checkout required washing towels, and no dishwasher detergent was supplied though we were asked to run it. I even had to replace the fridge filter myself.Individually these things are small, but together they showed a need for better upkeep. A simple checklist between guests would solve most of it. The booklet promised “everything you need” and even asked for a 5-star review, which didn’t match the reality.

They thought of everything.

This place is one of the most clean, nicest places I have stayed on a beach vacation. From talking to hosts before the visit to the time we left, everything was wonderful! The house smelled clean. Like the smell you want in your house when your mom does a surprise drop in. The floors were beautiful, I could walk around the house and my feet stayed clean. The house was open and bright. The beds were delightfully comfy. Plenty of pillows. Everything was great. The kitchen was labeled. Everything had a label. I knew where everything was. No need to play Clue when looking for your silverware or trash bags. Also, you know how some places expect you to survive with a half a roll of paper towels and 7 squares of toilet paper for your stay? Not here. Everything was exactly as you needed it. The walk to the beach was exactly 120 steps. Yes, I counted. I couldn't resist. Driveway to sand, 120 leisurely steps. Take the beach cart. Trust me. Stay here. Breathe deep. Watch the sunsets. You deserve it.

This property is everything advertised and more. When they say they have everything you need they mean it. No need to bring beach chairs, beach towels or toys. Everything about the place is homey and comfortable. Dan and Linda are very friendly hosts and respond to your inquiries immediately. There is also ample parking for a boat or multiple vehicles. The location is absolutely perfect. You are just steps from the beach and within walking distance to the bars and restaurants. We had such a good time and will definitely be back.

Wonder home, fully stocked

This house has literally everything you need . Just bring your clothes and any personal items you need. The home had plenty of beach and bath towels, soap, shampoo, toilet paper. For the beach there were beach chairs, toys, boards, floats, ect.... There was even some sun care items. We loved the area and are looking at booking again in the fall/winter.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

Host profile image
Hello and welcome from Linda and Dan Ulmer. We have been looking for the dream home we could share and, after three years of vacationing on Manasota Key, we found our gem. We previously owned property in the Florida Keys and Dan had a large property management company so we are sure you will find us helpful and available 24 hours a day. We live in Cape Coral so we’re close. We still use our home when not rented so you will find it clean, comfortable and, most of all, friendly.

Why they chose this property

When searching for our home and living in the Florida Keys, we new we didn't want to be "stuck" on an island. Manasota is perfect. Shopping is close, wildlife is amazing and most of all we have beautiful water and the island abounds with shells and tropical surroundings. Our home was built in the 50's and totally reconstructed in 2017. It's wonderful to have the charm of an old Florida home while taking the worries out of problems created by age. We know it is essential to have two bathrooms and outside enclosed shower with outside living area.

Thru our own rental experiences we know the added expense of kayaks, bikes, float devises, balls, books, games, and the list goes on. We have it handled for you. Trust us, you will love it. We certainly do!

What makes this property unique

Location is the best thing about this property. 150 steps to a private beach, no traffic and private homes. We were lucky to have rented from our neighbor before we decided on this home. Now we share a vacant beautifully landscaped property between us. This makes a perfect place for weddings, family get togethers or just friends that want to be close. Our properties together will sleep 16 guests with 3 kitchens and 4 bathrooms. Perfect!! Together we have it all.
