*** WHAT SHALL WE DO TODAY?
Here are a few suggestions (please note that most of the below you can do without even getting into your car!):
Start your day by grabbing your coffee and watching a majestic sunrise over Lemon Bay right from your own lanai. Take a short walk and join in on some morning yoga on the beach.
Are you a beach lover? Stroll across the street and go for a swim. Collect seashells and shark’s teeth. Sunbathe and listen to the soothing sounds of the Gulf. Take a long walk on the seven miles of peaceful, unspoiled beach. Fly a kite. Fish in the surf.
Water sports. Bring your boat and park at our dock. Don’t have a boat? Take advantage of the many local boat rental options. You can also rent jet skis, kayaks, stand up paddle boards and more. Take advantage some of the best fishing around, from our dock, a boat or the Gulf Beach.
Food, Drinks and Entertainment. There are several restaurants within easy walking distance. Have a waterfront meal or just some drinks while listening to live music. If you are bold, you may even be able to show off your karaoke skills!
Last, but certainly not least, complete your wonderful day by watching an amazing sunset over the Gulf!
We hope to hear from you soon so we can help you plan your vacation!

About John Klein
John and Maria
John Klein purchased this Condo in 2014
Why John Klein chose Englewood
John and Maria. We share a love for the beach. During some recent cold winters up north we were compelled to purchase a place that we could always get away to. We finally did and we couldn't be more happy with our choice. Each time we visit our place in Manasota Key, we love it even more than the last.
What makes this Condo unique
When we saw this property we immediately fell in love. It has the quiet serenity of Lemon Bay with it's gorgeous sunrises and yet the Gulf of Mexico is less than a two minute walk across the street. The El Galeon complex is so clean and beautifully maintained that it feels like home . When we come here we can park our car and not get back into it, if we so choose. We can walk to several restaurants or pubs and spend all day at the beach. We can go out for a boating or hiking adventure or just relax and collect seashells and shark's teeth and watch the sunset over the Gulf. We love that the beach here is not built up like resort towns yet it has everything we love in those places. We love to go down to Stump Pass State Park, on the south side of the Key, where it feels as though you are on a island in Caribbean. Manasota Key is a well kept secret!

Beautiful Spot on Manasota Key
Terrific location in a very comfortable condo.
John could not have been more hospitable. It was well stocked with everything you could need.
The views from the lanai are very relaxing. Between the dolphins and the pelicans, there's always something to watch!
We would definitely come back again.
Another wonderful stay in a perfect paradise at Ba
My wife and I arrived in paradise and it was even better this year. What made it so perfect was seeing the dolphins everyday and just perfect weather..This was our third year returning and we want to return next year again. The condo was very clean, warm and had every comfort needed to be in paradise. Don't even think twice if on the edge of whether or not to reserve for vacation..Staff was attentive and perfect.
Hi Tony, Thanks for the great review and thank you for being the very best guests! Looking forward to hosting you again in the future!
Nice
very nice place. Only minor problem was VRBO instruction's said, call realtor for key. Realtor had no idea, I called owner and got a repose immediately. I was given a code for the place. The rest of the week went great. Everyone was envious of my place.
Hi Tim, Thanks very much for the review! As you know now, we have convenient keyless locks and don't need a realtor! I will see if I can get VRBO to modify their wording! Hope to hear from you again for another stay!
Great location!
Very cute place! Soft bed sheets and towels. Loved the location! Great views of the bay to watch all the activities. Loved all the birds and even caught a small glimpse of a manatee. Walking distance to bars and restaurants. Nice to listen to the music from your patio. You can walk to the beach right across the street and hunt for shark teeth! Would love to return!
Hi John, Sounds like you did it right! Thanks for staying with us and hope to hear from you again!
Great Beach Get Away
Outstanding views of Lemon Bay while also having a very short walk to beautiful Gulf of Mexico beaches. Condo offered almost anything you would want for a one or two week stay at the beach. Excellent facilities for docking a boat within a few feet of the condo. Beautiful state park about 1 mile away. We would strongly recommend this property to a friend or relative and can't wait for our next visit.
Hi Michael, Thanks very much for your review. We are glad you had a great stay. We look forward to hearing from you again in the future.
If there were 6 stars - this place would get it!!
We absolutely love this place! The harbor on one side and a very, very short walk across the street to the Gulf. Immaculately clean. Pleasantly decorated. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Convenient (walking distance) to excellent restaurants and live music. Super management team! Every request responded to immediately. Walking distance to Stump Pass Park where you'll watch the dolphins play and find sea-life and shells and sharks teeth. Morning beach yoga a 5 minute walk away. What else could you possibly want? This was our second visit and I wouldn't stay anywhere else in the area (except maybe the other condo they manage in El Galeon East). :-)
Thanks Katrinka! It was great to have you guys back again. Once again I see you took full advantage of all the great aspects of the island! Until next time.
Location
Just south of Sarasota, off the coast of Englewood, this beguiling barrier island is in perfect harmony with its surroundings. No traffic lights, no high rises, no deed restrictions, just a two lane protected canopy road leading you to swaying palms, an endless white sand beach, and the warm, turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Casually sophisticated, Manasota Key offers a variety of lifestyles. Opulent waterfront estates mingle effortlessly with cozy beach-side cottages and classic winter residences. An eclectic variety of shops populate nearby Historic Dearborn Street and restaurants tempt eager visitors on and off the key. Nearby sandbars offer soothing relaxation or invigorating water sports while big amenities are just minutes away. Manasota Key is the perfect match for those that would appreciate Century’s old Banyan trees alive with tropical birds, frolicking dolphin, loggerhead turtles, balmy sea breezes, the kiss of the sun, and the magic of the sunset endow Manasota Key with a dramatic, sensual, and serene ambiance. To get away from it all but requires the convenience of nearby airports. If you enjoy casual waterfront dining you’ll love the numerous restaurants, accessible by boat along the Intra-Coastal waterway from Sarasota to Boca Grande. Take family and friends 5 minutes south to Stump Pass and swim with the dolphins, hunt for pre-historic shark’s teeth and fossils, grill out, or just watch the sunset into the Gulf of Mexico. We assure you this is the most natural barrier island remaining on the west coast of Florida.
