Bayfront sunrises, private dock, private pool & spa

Welcome to The Cozy Beach Home on Manasota Key Island — a rare Gulf-front gem with captivating sunrise views over Lemon Bay. This updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath coastal retreat, plus a bonus room with two twin beds, is designed to help you unwind, recharge, and fully embrace the Florida beach lifestyle.

Nestled in a private, serene setting with endless water views, this home blends island-inspired charm with modern comfort. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas feature breezy coastal décor and expansive windows that frame the sparkling Bay, keeping you connected to nature from every corner of the home.

Outdoors is where this property truly shines. The lower level offers a covered entertainment space complete with a beach bar, grill station, and plenty of room to relax. Enjoy the private pool (pool/spa heat available at an additional cost), unwind in the spa hot tub under the stars, sip drinks at the elevated deck bar, or gather around the firepit. Step right out to the brand-new private dock, perfect for morning coffee, sunset views, fishing, or simply watching dolphins and manatees cruise by. This is vacation mode—every day.

Private beach access is located just across the street. Please note that the stairs providing access are temporary and do not have railings and are used at your own risk. (See additional photos) This beach is perfect for walks, shelling, and shark-tooth hunting.

For swimming and sunsets, Manasota Key Beach is just minutes away and easily reached by golf cart or e-bike (rentals available locally). Adventure lovers will appreciate the variety of nearby activities, including jet ski rentals, kayak rentals, sunset tours, and dolphin cruises.
