About this property

30 Seconds to Beach Path! Outdoor Tiki Bar w/ TV! Kayaks, SUP's, Bikes & More!

Welcome to The Highview at Stump Pass Place Resort on Manasota Key. Come as you are, kick off your shoes, and immerse yourself into this little tropical Paradise. Located on the southern tip of Manasota Key, 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 the Tiki Bar with built TV and 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.

Enjoy this 4 bedroom, 2 Bath duplex overlooking The Gulf and Lemon Bay. Each floor has its own separate entrance. Each floor has two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, living room and private decks. This unique configuration allows everyone to be together on the property, but still have the ability to retire in complete privacy at any time. Watch the waves roll on to the beach from all decks and windows. Enjoy the roof top deck offering panoramic water views of The Gulf, Lemon Bay, and some of the best sunrises and sunset you will ever see!

Just a 30 second walk to our deeded beach path or a just 3 minute walk to Stump Pass State Park at the end of our street. Here you can go to the beach, launch the water toys, and make lifelong 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 beach cruiser bikes, Kayaks, Sups, beach wagons, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, coolers and more!!

While inside, walk freely around the open floor plan. There's WIFI, four bedrooms with high quality linens, and 4 flat screen TVs. Enjoy cooking your favorite meal in one of two fully equipped kitchens. The comfortable open Living room has a large flat screen HDTV, and beautiful Gulf and beach views.

Love the outdoors? you'll feel right at home here. Cook out on one of our Weber grills. The picnic area and tables are nestled in sea shells. Found some great stuff at the beach???...Wash off your bounty in the custom built shell cleaning station.

Enjoy the enclosed open top outdoor shower with hot and cold running water and blue sky views. Walk around the property sipping a cool drink and be swept away by the lush tropical landscaping that surrounds The Highview.

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!

Both 2/1's were clean. Home is walking distance to the beach and a quick ride to the local restaurants, publix, starbucks etc. Management replied to my messages quickly.

Holiday Beach Time

The pictures on the listing are exactly what you will see when you arrive and we were so impressed with everything this place had to offer. We had 10 in our group (18 and up) and it was great. The beach was a short walk, lots of nearby restaurants and things to do. We would return. One suggestion is to have some lights by the grills in the future. The Tiki area on the lower level was great for watching all the new year football bowl games!

Even Better Than Advertised

This house is super clean and updated. We rented both units. We had everything we needed. The location to Stump Pass Park is perfect. Even with smaller children we didn’t miss not having a pool at all. They were plenty entertained exploring Stump Pass. Would definitely rent this again! This our first time renting a golf cart when staying on Manasota Key and will always do that for now on!

Everything you need and more

2 separate apartments were very nice so our babies could sleep in one while we gathered in one. The unit even had a crockpot which I always bring mine so suppers are easy after a day at the beach. We had so much fun gathering shark teeth and shells. Nice beach chairs and wagon for hauling was super nice too! The only thing my girls would have liked was a full length mirror but I was absolutely fine without seeing a full length view of my beach body😂

Great house, Awesome View, Plenty of Toys

We rented both units, they are identical 2br, 1 ba each, separate stairs & entry ways. Great communication, impeccably clean, cold AC, well maintained. A great vacation! The ‘end of stay’ cleaning was a little excessive but probably because we left on an early flight out. If you’re familiar with the area you know what the area is like. Really good restaurants, beach access 1/4mi away — we didn’t understand how to bring 6 kayaks to the beach without using the car — I really thought the beach access was way closer from the description. We used the awesome bikes everyday. If you have young kids or elderly or mobility impaired folks traveling, know that the stairs to Unit 7 are plentiful and steep. Really beautifully remodeled with nice furniture, fully stocked kitchen (supplies & tools not spices), awesome amenities. We loved our stay — 14yr olds up to the 49yo and 7 folks in between!

They thought of everything

We really enjoyed our stay at Highview. Our family rented both units for the week. Every morning we enjoyed coffee on the roof with the ocean breeze and first light. The home was comfortable and the hosts thought of everything. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, coolers, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and even carts to haul all the gear to the beach. The bikes and kayaks were great. We went kayaking on the bay several times and enjoyed paddling up to the point where the bay joins the gulf where we saw manatees and dolphins on several occasions. We also liked to walk up to this point on the beach in the morning. The home was clean and there were clear instructions for everything. We had everything we could need. The place is very cute and well decorated. The beds were very comfortable. We spent most of our days on the porch playing games and waiting for the cooler afternoons. We loved the area. It was quiet and not touristy at all. There were tons of shells and shark teeth on the beach. It was a great place for a vacation.

A very nice place

Our family of 10 stayed in units 6 and 7. The units were very clean and organized. Communication with staff was great for check in. There is one bathroom on each floor which was a bit challenging for our size of group and I wish that I would have read the description closer. Much of the beach is restricted by property owners (which I have not experienced before). Therefore, it is a fairly short walk to the beach— but feels longer with toting beach equipment, heat, and not being able to set up in front of certain houses. Charcoal grills were not easy to use- but we figured it out… not real convenient. Access to kayaks, paddle boards., etc., was a big bonus- but you must have a vehicle that is large enough to transport them to the launch (in the park, 1/2 mile approx away). We did a tour with Native Charter Company and their customer service was fantastic. They are only a short distance away from the home.

Quaint, relaxing & FAMILY friendly

I’m not one to write reviews but WOW what a nice surprise. We didn’t know much about the area and chose this location without much research. Home owners have thought of everything. Our group had both units and ranged from 10 to 70 years old. Something for everyone with a clean comfy home(s), pretty much anything you need for kitchen needs, charcoal grills, outdoor shower, onsite laundry, etc. Endless assortment of toys with bikes. SUP boards, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, coolers and carts to manage it all. Location we found to be relaxing and comfortable. We say tripped to Sanibel and Fort Meyers and young ones wanted to know when we could go back to ‘our’ beach. You’re not directly on the sand but we didn’t find that to be an issue for our group. Access is a few houses down and then the state park at the end of the street. Beach was great. Plenty of space to spread out. Shells are plentiful and variety was surprising. Manatee and dolphins in the surf on occasion. Fun spot for young and old. Communication with the owners was excellent with prompt response. Very nice.

Great Family Weekend

We went with my family and rented both units. They were both very clean and well stocked. We loved having access to the bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, grills. The laundry room was well stocked with tons of beach toys, chairs, coolers, and umbrellas. The beach was a short walk away so the beach carts came in handy with everything that we ended up bringing down to the beach for the kids. We watched (what we could,it was behind another tall house) the sunset and sunrise from the rooftop deck. Grilled out for dinner 2 of the 3 nights. I went down to the public beach by bike one morning to do the yoga on the beach class. One thing to keep in mind is that when they say that they need you out promptly at 10am, they aren't joking. We were all packed up and just finishing up the check-out list (you have to wash all of the towels before you go which is a first for us, but not a huge deal) and saying our goodbyes. It was 9:50 and the cleaning people show up, sitting in the driveway just staring at the house because our cars will still in the driveway. It was just odd. Other than that, we had a great time and would go back. It was a great trip.

Amazing Vacation

What a wonderful week we had. We were a family group of 5 adults and 5 children (ages 6,7,8,9 and 10). From the moment we arrived until we left this morning there was not a dull moment. The house was immaculate and there wasn’t a thing we needed that wasn’t there. The grandchildren were very impressed with all the fun water things the home provided for their entertainment at the beach. We would all highly recommend this rental.

An excellent adventure

We had both suites with grandparents below and the kids and grand-kids above. The accommodations were spotless and fresh, we had everything we needed when we arrived. The “toys” came in useful as we didn’t have to go rent them and they were right there whenever we wanted to take a bike ride or kayak. The beach just a few doors down gave us a mile of uncrowded beach and easy access, we had dolphins swimming not 10 feet away from us in the canal. The restaurants were close enough that we could walk to them. The owners made sure that we had everything we needed and took excellent care of us, thank-you! Highly Recommended - We hope to be back again next year.
