About this property

Gulf View! Tiki Bar with outdoor TV! Bikes, Kayaks & Sups! Now that's Vacation!

Welcome to The Highview at Stump Pass Place Resort adjacent to Florida's highly acclaimed Stump Pass State Park. Come as you are, kick off your shoes, and immerse yourself into this little tropical Paradise. Located on the southern tip of Manasota Key on The Gulf of Mexico, we enjoy offering couples and family's a wonderful value added vacation and a great guest experience as well.

At our resort you will feel right at home the minute you arrive. From your own private Tiki Bar with large screen TV and built in YETI cooler to the lush tropical landscaping and spotless accommodation, we like to think we've thought of everything to make your stay both memorable and enjoyable.

NO ferries or water taxi needed. Just drive over the bridge to our island and enjoy your freedom and spontaneity.

See high above it all and enjoy panoramic water views of The Gulf and Lemon Bay. The best sunsets, sunrises, full moons, weather patterns and rainbows are all right here on top of The Highview! One more bonus, there's also awesome star gazing in the evenings from our top deck as well. 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.

Just a short walk from the house and you're inside Stump Pass State Park. This is where you will be going to the beach, launching the water toys, and making life long memories. Stump Pass State Park has one of the most beautiful pristine beaches in all of Florida! Make sure to take full advantage of our FREE Kayaks, Sups, beach wagons, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, coolers 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. 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!

Perfect Family Beach Vacation
This rental was just right for our family of seven. The proximity to the beach was a huge plus as well as the extra amenities like bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, beach chairs, sand toys, and beach wagons. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets on the deck. The shell cleaning station was great. The kids loved the cornhole as well. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and relaxing. We loved it!

A Perfect Getaway
We stayed on the first floor and it was perfect. Just a short walk to the ocean side for fun waves for the kids or a two minute walk to calm water for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Accomodations were exactly as shown.

Great location and everything we could need to play at the beach! Shower water did not get very warm, water from the kitchen sink tasted and smelled of chlorine, and the smoke detector went off at 5am! Other than those issues we had a great stay!

Best House and host
This was our second year staying with this host. This year we brought along two other families and rented the entire house and it was perfect. The view was amazing, everything you need is already there such as beach chairs and beach toys. The location is perfect with a very short walk or bike ride(bikes provided by host) to the beach or to restaurants or beach shop and you just feel right at home at any of their locations. If you want a laid back beach vacation this is the place for you!

A really great house to stay in
We loved staying at this house. We've been going to Manasota Key for 7+ years and this house was awesome. Plenty of water toys (kayaks, noodles, paddleboards, life jackets, etc) and bikes to use. The house was the perfect size and was clean and enjoyable. Don't pass up the opportunity to stay here.

Beautiful property and short walk to beach
We truly enjoyed our stay!! The property is just as described and the neighborhood is quiet. Publix is only about 10 minutes away and you're only 1 mile away from tasty restaurants. The beach is a short walk from the driveway, while there we found sharks teeth and had a manatee encounter. If we stay again it will definitely be upstairs because you can hear the upstairs neighbors walking about.

Manasota Stay
Was extremely happy with the place. It was a Beautiful, clean and well kept property. In addition, the area was Very Peaceful and people were very friendly. What made our stay exceptional were the Excellent amenities (bikes, kayaks, paddle boards etc.) located on the property. This made it fun and entertaining for the whole family. However, the Only suggestion i do have for families traveling to the area with multiple families hoping to enjoy time together, is to be sure to rent on the same property due to the strict regulations of having visitors on the property. Fortunately, the area does offer great restaurants, bars & grills where we ended up eating eating night instead of having casual dinners on the property in order to dine together. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Fantastic Condo in Englewood
This is a really terrific 2 bedroom condo across the street from the beach in Englewood, FL. The condo itself is modern and clean. The highlight is the deck on the condo level as well as the "sky-deck" which is shared with the 2nd floor unit. The sky deck might be the highest point on the island, offering fantastic views, especially during sunset. The condo also comes with lots of amenities, such as: bikes, cornhole, beach chairs and beach toys, Stand Up Paddleboards and kayaks. Great location in a laid back area that is perfect for a fun and relaxing vacation. It is also walkable to Stump Pass State Beach, which is a public beach with access to both the Gulf and the intercoastal waterway. Highly recommend.

Nice place
Place was just as pictures showed. The added use of bikes and kayaks was wonderful. We did watch sunset from roof top a few times. Great location even though it is not right on beach, it is 3 minute walk to beach. I have previously stayed in other units on other street. We rented boat from Allure boat rental and had great time with this unit as our base. Lots of beds but only one bathroom, but we really did not have a problem with that.

Like new, super clean and well stocked. It is exactly as the pictures and description in the post. Great restaurants nearby. Before booking, the owner answered my questions super fast. And during our stay bad weather affected the island and we received a phone call from the Realty Manager to check that we were all right, which was very kind.

We have been visiting Manasota Key for 20+ years now and have rented several different places over the years. The Highview exceeded our expectations. The property is well maintained, the unit has everything we needed, kayaks and bikes so fun, and the location is perfect. Peter was super responsive when my husband was trying to work and there was an issue with the WiFi. We will definetly be back!

40th birthday celebration!
We loved everything about the property! The location, the grande view from the high view, I LOVED the outdoor shower (& I used the slower water as well as the fast stream!), the wonderful towels, the "store" where we could use wagons, umbrellas, paddle boards, kayaks, the attention to detail. Just a minor thing: perhaps place a mirror in each bedroom because we had 4 women all trying to do our hair. But it all exceeded our expectations & would plan to come back! We loved the walk to the beach with our parade of wagon & cart to the water! Thank you!!It was a marvelous trip! Close to airport!

Why they chose this property

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 Resort 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!
