60 STEPS TO BEST BEACH ON THE KEY! PRIVATE HOME ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEAUTIFUL BOTANICAL GARDEN

WE MADE IT THROUGH THE STORMS! 😁 WE ARE REPAIRING FROM THE HURRICANES AND PLAN TO BE OPEN ON OR BEFORE CHRISTMAS WEEK AND NEWLY REMODELED. WE MAY BE DELAYED IN ANSWERING QUESTIONS DUE TO THIS BUT WILL GET BACK TO YOU. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BOOK ANY DATES IN 2025. THANKS SCOTT

YOU WILL LOVE OUR HOUSE AND ITS LOCATION. WE ARE LOCATED ON THE BEST SECTION OF THE BEACH AND 1/2 MILE NORTH OF THE STATE PARK AND 1/2 MILE SOUTH OF RESTAURANTS AND NIGHT LIFE. WE GET LOTS OF SHELLS AND FOSSIL SHARKS TEETH WASHING IN DAILY.
***WATCH MY VIDEO!*** WE ARE 5 STARS AND 18 YEARS RENTING OUR PRIVATE HOME!! Staying with us you have access to FREE ISLAND SHUTTLE! CONTACT ME FOR LAST MINUTE DEALS! (PET FRIENDLY)

A little about our family home, we have a lovely spacious house 3 BEDROOM 1 BATH PLUS A OUTDOOR SHOWER.
Our home is spacious and has a great room and a Billiard room. There is a guest cottage ( If you need additional space which is available for rent separately on this site it is a 1/1 #7001915 ) which was the original home on the property sits adjacent to the Beach House. This is our family home and we take great pride in both of them! The House and the Cottage sit independent on a large double lot and are in a excellent location being 150 feet from beach. It is very private and unique because of the location and all of the landscaping. We purchased the house several years ago from a local artist who had it for 32 years and have redone it while keeping it's Old Florida Beach House charm. It is a rare find on the key because of it's quite location in a residential neighborhood as well as its 2 lots give you lots of open area with botanical gardens making you feel like your in you own private beach compound. It is located 1/2 mile from the state park and 1/2 of a mile from the restaurants, bars with live entertainment and shops.
The BEST PART is you will find yourself a "stone's throw" 60 steps (150 ft) from a wide private beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
Since this is our family vacation home you will find it's like being in a friend’s home not a hotel. The home has also been completely redone is furnished like a home not like a rental. It has been renovated and decorated beyond any other home available for rent!! You will find everything you will need with the exception of a beach towel and your clothes. (ALL ROOMS HAVE SMART TV's AND WIRELESS INTERNET) Also this is the ONLY rental home that we know of with a BILLIARD ROOM, featuring a beautiful Brunswick drop pocket pool table.


NEED LESS SPACE? Our 1/1 beach cottage may be the place. Excellent location 150 ft to the beach and is available for rent separately on this site (sleeps 4)

Very nice and clean house. Price very reasonable. Steps away from the beach! Spoke with Scott when we arrived earlier than planned and he let us check in early on short notice. Awesome week with my family. I would stay here again. Thank you Scott!

Excellent!

Perfect place for what my husband and I needed. Pool table was fun, shed full of beach toys. We didn't need to use our vehicle our entire stay - rode bikes when we went to dinner. Nice screened in porch for morning coffee. Excellent location, nice neighbors. Big screen TVs all worked easily! Host was super nice and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Great location

Great host. Easy to contact and very responsive. The house is on a nicely shaded lot just a hundred feet or so from the beach. On what I consider to be the quiet south side of Manasota Key. We had a great time relaxing in the evening with several rounds of billiards. Highly recommend.

Sunrise with Turtles

Great house with 3 bedrooms each having a TV, so all could enjoy down-time. Great outdoor shower. Enjoyed the pool table. Got up for Sunrise, and Turtle Patrol was excavating a nest at the beach. Watched 7 baby turtles make it to the surf. Walk to Stump pass was beautiful, and so peaceful. This place is a treasure. Can't wait to go back.

Nice little cottage

I don’t know that I would advertise this place as a house. It’s more of cottage as there is another house connected to it that is also being rented out. Need to have a exterminator come out. Saw 4 palmetto bugs. Otherwise great place to go for the weekend.

Another Great Stay!

This was our second time renting here after a wonderful time a few years ago. Even better than we remembered! Literally steps to the beautiful gulf beach ( where I caught several Pompano we cooked on grill at the house) a barn packed full of bikes and all kinds of beach gear made for great days, several nearby indoor/outdoor restaurants that you can walk or ride the free trolly to made the days complete. Scott is a superb host, not only checking in with a text every couple of days to see if we needed anything, he even offered to let us stay over when my wife was too ill to travel home. You simply won't find a better beach getaway or a better host!

Great Location

The house was a super cute little property really close to the beach. We just had to walk down a little path. It was clean, and there were beach-y things ready to use (towels, chairs, etc). The only thing is the 2nd bathroom listed is an outdoor shower head for rinsing off after the beach. It was a tough week for my family to share one bathroom. We still really enjoyed our stay!

Amazing!

Great house, great location, and the house was everything and more than expected. I must say this is the first time we have left from vacation and everyone was actually in tears. Scott was an awesome host. Great communication and an awesome info booklet waiting for us in the kitchen that told us everything we needed to know about the house and the island. We will definitely be back, but it will for surely be for more than 4 days. This is the house you are looking for if you want an awesome vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
I have been here since 1995 and take pride in my families home to not only keep it in great shape and nice than other properties but I keep improving it every year to make it the BEST. I like to get to know my guest and they like to come back that's why I have 34% repeat business this past year. Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or to visit about our are and things to do.

I am from Colorado my fiancé Caroline is from Rhode Island. I moved to Florida back in 1995. Both of us work in the medical field. I am a USCG Master Captain and a NAUI dive instructor and we both spend a lot of time on our boat at our beach or on the motorcycle. If you stay at our home and want rent a boat, charter a fishing trip, go scuba diving or rent a Harley Davison and ride around I can help you out. Caroline is the tour guide and shopping guide person and can tell you where all the malls and outlet stores are in Sarasota which is 15 to 20 minutes away.

Why they chose this property

We take great pride in our home. This quaint beach house is within easy walking distance to a Tiki bar on the bay, fine dining and casual restaurants as well as a convenience store and other shopping and boardwalk. We have simply tried to think of everything you would want, or need, to make your vacation a very special experience. We are literally 150 feet from one of the most beautiful beaches that Florida has to offer, as well as being only 600 feet from Lemon Bay. Bring your boat, use one of the nearby ramps, rent a dock or moor on the bay. You will have direct access to the Gulf of Mexico within minutes. This is a renowned fished and boating area. You can surf cast off the beach from anywhere on the island, or charter boats for tarpon, flounder, grouper, mackerel or redfish.It doesn't get any better than this!
This home is the perfect getaway from the bustle and noise of everyday life, or to enjoy the glamour and excitement of Florida's Gulf Coast. The choice is yours:Spend a day at the beach, just doing...nothingExplore protected wildlife areas and bird sanctuariesVisit Stump Pass State Park or Dine at one of the local restaurants.
This home is only minutes (0.4 miles) from some of the finest dining and nightlife in Florida. The area also has plenty of opportunities for shopping, golf, boating, fishing and much more. We are within easy driving distance of many of Florida's most popular cities and attractions. Venice and Sarasota are a short drive, and provide many cultural attractions and unusual shopping opportunities. We are within a 2-3 hour drive of Tampa/St.Petersburg, Orlando (Disney World), Fort Myers and Naples.

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! Beach is a stones throw away! 150 feet. No busy roads to cross and you don't have to walk blocks to find a place to access the beach like most other places and we are a family home not a rental! Restaurant's, Bars, State Park and Public Beach all within 1/2 to 3/4 mile. Also we are in a really nice residential street not condos!
