The Neighborhood:
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.

Perfect stay in a beautiful area.

The condo was perfect for us, fully kitted out and with beautiful views of Lemon Bay. Ideally situated across road from the beach and a short walk to bars, restaurants and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return in the future.

Paradise by the sea

The property is super clean and very well equipped with all you need for a good vacation. The balcony of the apartment overlooks the inland waterway where you can watch birds and the occasional dolphin in the water. Easy access to the sea is across the road where you can hunt for sharks teeth. Communication from the host is informative, friendly and highly efficient. A great stay worth a second visit.

Perfect place for relaxation

What a lovely VRBO! I’ve stayed in many and my friend manages four of her own, so I know the ins and outs quite well. This place checks all the marks. Great location. Stocked well with plenty of household goods, towels, sheets, and beach accessories. There was everything one would need to enjoy this condo. Lovely view, impeccably clean, lovingly decorated. Would totally stay here again. Perfect for enjoying the beach and central to lots of neighboring towns. A+

Nice place, well equipped, convenient to beach and bay.

Fourth stay at this property, but first time in this particular unit. The property as a whole is very nice and well maintained. Paint and maintenance are up to date. There is more than adequate parking and a community laundry facility. The large pool and deck area is shared by the building next door, but there is plenty of room. We brought a boat and the docks are far above average for the area. No loose boards or fittings. Fresh paint and non-skid on the treads. Plenty of wash hoses and power outlets. The unit itself was very clean and well appointed with comfortable furniture and newer appliances. Plenty of kitchen utensils, pots, and pans for meal prep. Traditional and "K" cup coffee maker. Lots of fluffy towels for the bath. Slept better than a baby in the comfortable bed. Large closet with a small drawer cubby for storage was just right. Back porch / patio had great view of Lemon Bay. With a constant parade of boats and wildlife there was always something interesting to see. The beach is just across the street with convenient access thru a sister property. Key code access on the door, so no having to pick up and return keys. Also one less thing in your pocket when you go to the beach. John the property manager was right on top of making sure we got in ok. Very attentive to communications and a breeze to work with. We've been coming to this area for decades and have stayed in a lot of places. These are some of the best for us. We will be staying here again.

Great location

We spent a week on Manasota Key at El Galeon East. The location was perfect. We went for a walk every morning in beautiful weather along Beach Rd and over the bridge to the mainland. It was an easy walk to several restaurants that were close by and the food was excellent. The beach was across the street so it was a 2 minute walk. Beach chairs and an umbrella were provided in the condo, so everything was perfect.

Small condo with dock space

It is priced just about right. Older property that could use a few upgrades. The highlight is that it is on the water and sitting on the balcony looking at boats. It was not crowded when we were there so we had a lot of privacy, however, the balcony is open to the neighbors balconies. Owner should replace the beach chairs and umbrella. They are old and the chairs are so rusty that I had rust stains on my white cover up! Otherwise, well stocked and had all we needed. The pool was very nice.

Great location!

The location of the condo is spot on as you overlook Lemon Bay from your lanai and are only a short walk to the beach. We did see occasional dolphins from our lanai which was wonderful and found it enjoyable to watch the boat traffic on the bay. We were also within walking distance of many of the restaurants in the area which we took advantage.

I very much enjoyed my stay in Bay Life Condo! The view was fantastic. The condo was very quiet, comfortable, clean, safe and had everything I needed for my stay. There were friendly people all around and nice restaurants nearby. I couldn't ask any more for a wonderful vacation on Manasota Key. I've been there many times but this was by far the nicest place I've stayed. I will return next year and hope to stay in the same condo again.

About the host

Hosted by John Klein

Host profile image
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. Now we own two, manage one and we love visiting and being able to share them with others!
