About this property
Best views on island! Steps to beach. Near Boca Grande. Great beaches, fishing
Professionally designed and decorated home located just steps from the sand. Location, location, location! 1 min walk to the beach or 7 mins walk to restaurants, bars and shopping.
TWO master suites with king beds, bedroom with queen and twin beds, and another room with a queen bed and a twin XL trundle. Bathed in warm, tropical earth tones, this home features beautiful hardwood floors throughout the living areas and high-end custom tile bathrooms. The 'upside down' floor plan features four bedrooms on the entrance floor and a breathtaking top floor with 15-foot cathedral ceilings with a brightly lit cupola. Brand new stainless steel appliances. Beautiful quartz countertops. Three separate porch sitting areas stunning views. Additional shaded breezy seating and outdoor sitting on ground level.
This is widely regarded as the best street on the island, with nightly sunset gatherings with our full-time resident neighbors and other guests. You'll never want to leave! All are welcomed to join "Wednesdays on Wilhelm!" A beloved and well-known tradition on the island, all are welcome to BYOB and a favorite dish to share at this fun beach party - every Wednesday during the winter months. Grab you flip flops and beach chair and meet other guests and residents at sunset. Good vibes all around!
Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit. We’re not kidding, we have it all. Enjoy the most beautiful and undiscovered beach in Florida. We offer smart TV, high speed internet and 2 extra monitors for remote workers, along with plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home.
If you're wild about nature, you will love walking the serene and uncrowded beaches of Manasota Key. Our breathtaking beach is also popular with wildlife and ecotourists. It isn’t unusual to be joined by a heron on your walk, see a pelican fishing as you throw out your line, or perhaps you’ll come across a dolphin at play while kayaking the blue waters. Take a walk on the wild side and watch the sea turtle nests come alive with hatchlings May 1 to October 31.
Another fun amenity for the island is the "Stumpy Bus", a volunteer-run free shuttle in the form of a decorated 8-seat golf cart. Grab a cocktail and hop on board to most of the bars/restaurants on the island. They work for tips so bring some cash to share the love!
Finding fossilized sharks teeth is a favorite find of beach walkers and you will find many among the mounds of shells. Snorkel in the crystal clear water for sand dollars and everything tropical. Put up your umbrellas and spread out because there’s tons of room on our uncrowded beaches.
For all you fishing enthusiasts, the area is the second largest marine estuary in the state. You will find hundreds of species in our waters. Nearby Boca Grand is the official “Tarpon Capital of the World”. The area has dozens of boat ramps so bring your boat. We have plenty of room to park. (Local boat rentals are also available through local businesses.)
In addition to being renowned for its fishing, Boca Grande is widely regarded as the most exclusive coastal enclave in Florida and you'll marvel at the historic and famous Gasparilla Inn. Great shopping and restaurants. Take a 20 minute drive to a different world! Rent a golf cart while you're there and drive down Banyon Street, one of the most famous streets in Florida.

This is a beautiful, very well maintained home just steps from a wonderful beach. Everything we could possibly need was there waiting for us, from beach equipment, to kitchen gadgets and spices. Communication with our host was also wonderful. We plan on returning next summer!
Everything was clean & beautiful! Wonderful property manager that reached out to ensure that everything was working properly and we were having a great time! Would definitely stay again!
This house was perfect for our family vacation! Great location! We had a blast! Will definitely be keeping this place in mind for the next time we vacation!
There was nothing about this stay that didn’t exceed expectations! Host was so great to work with and checked in to make sure everything was great- IT WAS. Have never seen more “included” in a rental and we’ve stayed in nearly a dozen over the years. The location was spectacular and with bay to gulf access we watched every sunrise and sunset for the week. 4 bathrooms and the beach sold us at booking, but the amazing home and 360 degree views from multiple decks on the house blew us away- walk outside and in a few steps (I consider this home beachfront) you’re on the beach. We stayed as 6 adults (our grown children and partners) and was the perfect place. Could have easily added more people space wise but Mom and Dad are selfish . We travel each winter to sun and beach (Cabo, Key West, St Croix) but this stay wins! Relaxation and luxury across the board, thank you Lynda and family for letting us enjoy your home!
Perfect Place to Bring your family for the ultimate vacation. Plenty of seating - inside and out. Great area and beautiful views from every window for the best sunset and sunrise.
This place was absolutely perfect! The views were spectacular! We enjoyed every second of our stay. The beach was the most beautiful beach I’ve seen in Florida and I originally from Tampa. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The only complaint I would have and really it’s just preference is that having TV’s in our rooms would have been nice. But again such a beautiful few days of being with family to build new memories after the loss of my son two years ago. This house and it’s serene view brought me joy and some much needed peace in my heart.
We have been vacationing in Englewood quite often over the past few years, and this is my new favorite house to stay in. It has everything you need, is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with everything in great condition. It is steps from the private beach. I would highly recommend this rental.
This beach home is beautiful and has great views of the beach! We are a party of 6-three couples-and had the best time making memories here! We loved walking the beach every morning after our coffee, looking for shark teeth and shells (found so many) then going back to make sandwiches and snacks before spending the afternoon on the beach. The home is within walking distance to some of our favorite restaurants where we had great meals and drinks nightly! We used Stumpys Free Ride for our commute back to the house a couple nights and walked the beach back on the other nights! The sunsets on the beach are top notch and we enjoyed them nightly!
This house was perfect!! Beautiful inside and out with a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed fishing from the beach, the Sand Bar for lunch and local fish from the market. House was well stocked with supplies for the beach and host was terrific with excellent communication. We have been to the area several times and this was by far and away our best trip. Just an amazing house and we cannot recommend it enough!!!!
Beautiful house! Wonderful location! Gracious host! It has everything you could ever need in a beach house! We had a group of 2 couples with our 4 adult kids (in their 20s) and it met every need we had. Would be perfect for small kids too. We loved the super easy walk to the beach, proximity to restaurants, comfy beds, and came home with a ton of beautiful shells. Highly recommend!!!
Absolutely beautiful beach home. Fantastic layout for sharing with friends or family. Very quiet stretch of beach just a few steps away, close enough for a baby monitor during nap time (we had a one year old in our party)! Also a short walk to the bars and restaurants. Fantastic sunsets! Super friendly and responsive host/owner, and that special feel of actually staying in someone’s home that they use vs. just a pure vacation rental.
A perfect house with stunning views that allow you to see the gulf and the bay, sunrise, and sunset. Updated living spaces with cozy beds and everything you need for a week on the beach. The host is exceptional with excellent communication. You won’t be disappointed.

About the host
Hosted by Lynda Spofford
This home is owned by two brothers and our families. We love sand, saltwater, swimming and especially fishing. We chose Manasota Key because it is quiet, uncommercialized and still represents the beautiful and unspoiled old Florida.
We selected Manasota Key due to its overall ease of access (vs other barrier islands), close proximity to regional/international airport, abundant restaurants and great grocery stores.
We love our return guests who return year after year and who love our quiet little island as much as we do. We have an extraordinarily high ratio of return guests and referrals vs other hosts.
WE ARE NOT REALTORS AND WE DO NOT LEVERAGE PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT COMPANIES. We offer more flexibility and will do whatever we can to sure your stay exceeds your expectations.
Why they chose this property
Our street is widely regarded as the best streets on the island. Sunset is a time of gathering every night. Guests may decide to celebrate sunsets from the beach or from the convenience of any one of our three porches. Tradition calls for ringing the mounted bell on the top deck as the sun falls below the horizon.
What makes this property unique
Our home arguably boasts the best views on the island. While not directly on the water, our home is built on 19' pilings and offers unobstructed views from every room of the house. We leave behind everything for your use and enjoyment so make yourselves at home!
