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

The house has been completely renovated and is in a great location. It is easily walkable to the bars/restaurants and Stump Pass. It is a very short walk down the road to the beach and we took the provided beach chairs down to the beach for most sunsets. The only negative is that the bathroom for the queen bedroom is a long walk away from the bedroom. All and all it was great- the owners and Perry did everything they could to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

What a great mini vacation at Lazy Days! The house absolutely fit our needs perfectly and the bonus beach toys were put to good use. The kitchen was equipped with newer appliances, and although we chose to eat out most of the time, all the cooking essentials were up to par. Having the beach right down the road was amazing. Our 14 year old got to venture out all over the key for fishing opportunities and had an amazing time making friends with the locals. We had zero issues during our stay, but I'm sure they would have been dealt with. Great communication on the front end from the owner/manager. We would definitely stay at Lazy Days again! 5 stars for sure.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

🏖️ Sharing the Dream of Peace

Over the years, we've shared our deep love for this unspoiled island through our investment property. It has been one of the most profoundly rewarding experiences to offer a sanctuary—a place of peace and deep relaxation—to those who work so hard and navigate the daily stresses of life. Our guests have been truly amazing, and the cottage has responded by being the perfect haven for their escapes.

What makes this property unique

🦈 The Key Highlights of Manasota Beach:

Unspoiled Atmosphere: Minimal development, which provides a true retreat into nature directly from the cottage.

Shark Tooth Hunting: It's part of Florida's famous "Shark Tooth Coast," making it a unique and fun activity for all ages.

Peaceful and Laid-Back: Known for its low crowds and tranquil vibe, perfect for long walks and unwinding.


🛎️ Your Family, Working for You

With our entire family experienced in real estate and professional property management, we pride ourselves on a tradition of service where the customer—you!—is our focus. When you stay at Lazy Days, you are not just renting a house; you are becoming part of our family's dedication to quality. We are committed to making your stay as seamless, comfortable, and memorable as possible.

We look forward to continuing our tradition of offering something truly special on Manasota Island and welcoming you to your next Lazy Day.
