About this property
The BEACH & BAY 120 steps away. Semi-private fishing dock, free bikes
Location, location, location just 2 blocks to restaurants where you can enjoy food, drinks, and great live music. Enjoy the entire island on our complimentary bikes while you enjoy our PRIVATE SINGLE FAMILY HOME with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a lanai for ultra enjoyment. If you like privacy, enjoy our beach with a hammock, fire pit and FENCED PRIVATE BACK YARD. Take advantage of our outside shower with hot and cold water. Our home is 120 steps to the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico; plus, we are one of the few homes with access to a semi-private dock on Lemon Bay where you can fish, enjoy the sunrise and admire nature at it's best. Great for sun worshipers and fisherman alike. Where else can you relish both the sunrise and the renouned Florida sunsets and only steps away.
Manasota Key is the second largest estuary in Florida. Enjoy the island with the bikes and kayaks provided for your pleasure. Watch the sunrise on Lemon Bay and the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. Our home is fully renovated including new furnishings, appliances and the best stocked home on the Key. We are between the public beach (.1 mile) and Stump Pass State Park (.5 miles).
Kick back, chill out and grill. Spoil yourself with the complimentary bickes and all the beach toys you will need. Enjoy the most beautiful and undiscovered isle in Florida. We are dog friendly and your fur babies have a fenced yard for their protection. There are big screen smart T.V.'s in every room, high speed internet, Netflix and plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home.
If you are wild about nature, you will love the stroll to Stump Pass Park. There are 265 acres of sandy trails, boating and miles of pristine beaches. The wildlife is amazing. Artists and sun worshippers aren't the only species drawn to our little island. Our breathtaking beach is also popular with fisherman and ecotourists. It isn't unusual to be joined by a heron on your walk, see a pelican fishing as you throw out your line, or perhaps you'll come across dolphins at play. Take a walk on the wild side and watch the sea turtle nests come alive with hatchlings May 1 to October 31.
Our key is famous for shelling and finding fossilized sharks teeth as you walk the newly renourished beach. Snorkel in the clear water for sand dollars and everything tropical. Put up our umbrella because there's lots of room. We're just far enough from the public beach that you can enjoy the sunsets undisturbed.
For all you fishing enthusiasts, the area is the second largest marine estuary in the state. You will find several species in our waters. Boat to nereby Boca Grand the "Tarpon Capital of the World". The area has several boat ramps so bring your boat. We have plenty of room to park or just fish from the private dock.
Kick back, chill out and grill.

About the host
Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

Linda is a Florida native so it was important to find a home that reminded her of "old" Florida. We searched the entire State and fell in love with Manasota Key the minute we crossed the bridge. We love our guests and have made many friends that visit us each year. We found the perfect home with the perfect location. Dan was in property management at the ski resorts in Colorado while Linda made her career in real property law. Our combined management skills are essential to make all our guests have the best beach vacation possible.
Why they chose this property
Linda is a native of Florida and wanted a home with that old Florida feel. There aren't many islands left that aren't filled with high rises and tourists. We found our gem and we hope our guests love it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
We are one of the few rental homes on the key that has access to the prestine Gulf of Mexico (1/2 block) and the waters of Lemon Bay (1 block). Enjoy sunrise at the dock with a cup of hot brew while enjoying majestic nature that can only be found in Lemon Bay Acquatic Preserve. Complete your day by enjoying a beautiful sunset at the beach. Now that's island time all within a block away.
