With a unique location and unmatched value added amenities, this two bedroom one bath suite at has everything you need for a great vacation. Be sure to see our reviews.
Location,location,location! What a location The Highview has. Situated on the southern tip of the Island, you could almost throw a coconut from Gulf to the Bay here and just a 60 second walk to our deeded beach path. When views, quality and cleanliness are important , The Highview delivers all and more!
Enjoy our beach cruisers bikes, Stand Up Paddle Boards, kayaks, and every other beach toy you can imagine. It's all FREE of charge and included with your rental. Kick back in the orange lifeguard chairs and take in the awesome views. Our signature roof top deck is like the Islands only light house. Imagine yourself sitting high above it all with a cool drink in your hand. You are now overlooking the entire south end of Manasota Key. Nothing but blue water and blue sky everywhere. The Highview gets two thumbs up from the locals and is a great spot for any occasion.
Walk freely around the open floor plan and decks. There is high speed wireless internet, two bedrooms with high quality linens, and three flat screen TVs. Enjoy cooking your favorite meal in the fully equipped kitchen. The comfortable open Living room has a large flat screen HDTV and peekaboo Gulf Views. If outdoors is your thing you'll feel right at home here. Two Weber grills and picnic tables nestled in shells. Wash your new found shells in the shell cleaning station, enjoy the enclosed outdoor shower with blue sky views or just sip a cool drink and be swept away by the lush tropical landscaping and soft night lighting that surrounds 'The Highview'
One of the best things about this home is it's location. It's right next door to Stump Pass State Park. There are 265 acres of sandy walking trails and pristine beaches. You can ALWAYS find a section of beach all to yourself. The wildlife here is amazing. You will see pelicans diving for fish, Osprey in tree tops, dolphins and manatee swimming the shoreline. Sea turtles lay eggs here every year and don't forget to look for prehistoric sharks teeth (not hard to find) and go shelling at the point. If you've been here before you know it's allure, if it's your first time, get ready for a soul refreshing journey!

After exploring Florida's Gulf coast for the perfect slice of paradise we kept coming back to the little unknown island called Manasota Key. The perfect mix of peace and quite, nature, and some fun Key West style restaurants just up the road. Anything else you need or want is just off island .
Our home sits on the southern most tip of the Island and is next to Stump Pass State Park. This home has awesome panoramic water views of both Lemon bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Come smell the fresh salt air!
this was a great place to stay for a week to get away from he Wisconsin winter the house has everything you need to enjoy the Beach or Manasota Island with the Bikes that are included. The location is perfect for a laid back get away clean and Comfortable and the Highview deck on top the house is Amazing for watching the Sunset.
Thanks Pete very nice place you have, would stay here again.
I don't usually write reviews but I have to take the time to thank the Tamaro's for a wonderful stay at their property. Everything was perfect! We had a great time biking, kayaking and enjoying the beach and Lemon Bay while staying in an absolutely great apartment. It is super clean, comfortable and tastefully done. Everything that you could possibly want is included for your enjoyment, with the added benefit of that great rooftop deck for enjoying a sunset cocktail. Thank you again for a great week, we hope to return soon!
Having rented vacation homes for years we were impressed. The home is comfortable with lots of space. Bikes, kayaks, snorkel gear and other beach stuff are a real plus so you don't have to bring all this from home. Great beach towels and linens also included. Nice views from the roof deck. Easy walk to State Park. Free shuttles available to local restaurants and tiki bars or just walk it; less than a mile. Quiet neighborhood so no worries of the Spring Break crowds.
Nicest rental we’ve had probably anywhere! Can’t think of a thing that wasn’t provided for our comfort or amusement. Everything you need for the perfect beach getaway is at the Highview. Hope we may pass this way again and stay with you!
The house had everything we needed. Sand toys, bikes, iron, hair dryer, plenty of beach towels. The weather was perfect and the beach was awesome! We would definitely considering staying again.
We enjoyed a 3 day weekend here the week before Thanksgiving. The property was very clean and we really loved having access to bikes and kayaks. We roamed all over the island (land and sea) and seldom got into the car after arrival. The deck on the top offers super views of the gulf and the bay. It was a great place for morning coffee @ sunrise. Pure serenity. The proximity to the beach and state park on south side was perfect. I would highly recommend this unit for a small family. We would love to visit again.
There is no reason to stay anywhere else on Manasota Key. You won't find a cleaner place to stay on Manasota Key. Everything is just footsteps away. Rental agent and Owners could not be nicer.
Launch our kayaks and Stand up Paddle Boards (included with your rental) at Stump Pass State Park next to The Highview. Explore the beautiful undeveloped islands and take in the nature from dolphins and matinee swimming right by you to the wide array of birds and other treasures.
