The master bedroom has a full bath with an updated shower and a large closet. The second room is an office/bedroom with a pullout twin size Murphy bed and a half bath. We have also added a queen pull-out sofa bed and a queen blow up mattress to sleep a 4th person in the living room area if necessary. comforter, sheets, pillows and blankets are also provided for all beds.
Manasota Key is a quiet community with a sense of Old World Florida with easy access to local bars and restaurants which makes this an ideal location for your relaxing and convenient getaway. You can walk to the nearby restaurants and bars as well as the mini-mart for last minute essentials. There is also a free shuttle service if you choose not to walk. Just call Stumpy’s Free Ride (https://www.facebook.com/StumpysFreeRide)
Sunburst Condos have bay access with a private dock (first come first serve) just across the street where you can enjoy the sunrise, pull your boat up to go fishing, launch your kayak through the state park mangroves, or take a swim in the pool. You can walk to the beach side and enjoy the beautiful Gulf of Mexico/America by day and its amazing sunsets at dusk. There is also a common area if you choose eat or grill outside on both the beach and bay sides of the property.
Manasota Key has several beautiful public beaches to visit, especially Stump Pass Beach State Park which is located on the southern most tip of the island. It is a true gem! Explore remote white sandy beaches which are perfect for fishing, swimming, and beach combing! Visitors can launch a kayak and paddle around the two islands just east of the park's land base. While at the park, visitors might see West Indian manatees, gopher tortoises, snowy egrets, least terns and magnificent frigate birds. Ranger-led nature hikes are available in the winter.
We hope you choose us for your next beach vacation!
As of April 2025 the majority of the beaches and businesses are re-opened following Hurricane Milton (Oct 2024). There are a few restaurants that lost their kitchens and have yet to open or have had to change their menu slightly. There are also a few public beach lots that are still undergoing repairs. Our condo grounds were inundated by sand and saltwater which led to the loss of grass, some trees, and our beachfront deck sitting area. Repairs are currently in process so we apologize for any inconvenience. Please be understanding that the Key is actively undergoing repairs for the next year or so following the direct hit from the hurricane..

This is such a beautiful spot on the beach! It is very cozy, so clean and was stocked with essentials. Our host is wonderful and she stayed in touch in case we needed anything. It was such a perfect way to relax for our week long vacation. We found lots of shark teeth while sifting through the sand. All restaurants were within walking distance and good! We will definitely stay again next visit to Manasota Key!

We had a great month at this condo in Sunburst complex. Very clean and comfortable and everyone staying there were so welcoming and friendly. The only thing that we would prefer is the ability to sleep two in the extra bedroom should we have company for a few days.The location is wonderful!!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Mar 2024
Thank you Deborah for your lovely comments and the wonderful feedback! We agree and we really want to put bunk beds in that back room because it is a small room. I don't know if you knew while you were staying but we added a new pull out queen sofa bed in the living room. We purchased a special board that you place under the mattress when it is opened and it is very comfortable! We hope that you stay with us again soon!
My wife and our son stayed here for a week and the condo was perfect. The condo itself was very clean and seemed to have recently been updated. The location was awesome as we were a few steps from the boardwalk leading out to the beach. We would definitely rent this place again in the future.

Everything was as described. The unit had everything you could want to make it comfortable. The beach was literally steps away with a nice deck area. Pool was across the street but we did not see it as an inconvenience at all. Met some really nice people there too! Quite a few nice restaurants within walking distance.

The condo was exactly as listed/expected. Very clean, nice decor, comfortable bed. We had everything we needed. Communications with the owner were very good and kind. She gave us recommendations on things to do and restaurants which was appreciated. We loved the location - close enough to walk to multiple restaurants. Beach chairs and a beach bag were available for our use. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back!

The condo is decorated beautifully and there was a great room for me to put on my makeup. Since it was 2 of us we each had our own bathroom. The shower stall is beautiful and very relaxing. The customer service was amazing, fully stocked kitchen and you can see the beach from your window! It was an amazing time and we will definitely be back. Thanks to the owner who is amazing and responsive.

We took my mom back to see the area we spent every summer at for 25 years when I was growing up. We have not been there in 38 years. The condo and beach were fantastic. It was perfectly decorated and very very clean not to mention the fact that it had everything we needed and more. The hospitality was 5 star!! Thanks for giving our family the perfect remembrance ! We highly recommend staying here.
