About this property

BEST BEACH ON THE KEY 60 STEP AWAY ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cottage is the perfect place to stay!

YOU WILL LOVE OUR COTTAGE 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. FREE ISLAND SHUTTLE! ***WATCH MY VIDEO!***
A little about the Beach Cottage. It is the original home on the property and sits independent on a large double lot next to the 3/1 Beach House. Both are private and are in a excellent location being 60 Steps from the beach (150 feet ). 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 renovated it back to a house from an art studio the prior owner made it into. It has all been upgraded to to the quality of a new home but we restored all of the cypress and terrazzo to keep it's Old Florida Beach House charm. There is no other home this cool or romantic to rent on the Key it looks like it came straight off a HGTV episode! 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 3/4 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 or 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 staying at a friend’s home not a hotel. It is furnished like a home and 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) You can see more pictures and see our awards and reviews.

Need more space the 3/1 MAIN HOUSE is adjacent and sleeps 6 to 8 and has a Billard room with a Brunswick drop pocket pool table!

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...nothing
Explore protected wildlife areas and bird sanctuaries
Visit Stump Pass State Park
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.

Beautiful Cottage in Paradise!
My husband and I spent a week at this cottage for our anniversary. Check in was easy and it was very clean and amply stocked with everything we needed for the week. Area is quiet and peaceful and we truly felt like we were in paradise. The owner was very nice and gracious and checked in with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Would highly recommend this property and it’s adjoining unit. We will most definitely be returning. Thank you Scott for making our anniversary week such and wonderful and memorable experience!

Quiet Escape in a Great Location
We had a lovely stay over New Years. The location is perfect to the beach and the beach itself was lovely. We walked to the state park, went shark teeth hunting, and walked to the local restaurants. The location is very relaxing and peaceful. We appreciate being able to bring our fur babies too, as they are part of our family. Next time we will bring our bikes now knowing how bike friendly Manasota Key is! The house had perfect accommodations for a family of 3 and the shed with nice quality beach chairs, toys, surf boards, etc. was a welcomed treat!

Pictures don't do it justice!
The property was beautiful! Even closer to the beach than i was expecting. Standing in the driveway you can see the ocean. The beach is fantastic, clean and barely anyone there. The key has amazing restaurants and lots of boat/kayak rentals, plus a great gift shop. The property itself exceeded expectations. It was extremely clean, there wasn't a single bug spotted inside our entire stay. The kitchen is well equipt with dishes, as well as kitchen basics (coffee, salt, pepper, etc). There were plenty of extra sheets, towels and blankets. All the furniture was comfortable and not outdated like I saw in another review. We greatly appreciated the old florida charm. Scott was an amazing host! He was very courteous, gave great directions and was very responsive with any questions we had. We came for our honeymoon and stayed 6 days. We will definitely be back!

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!
