About this property

120 steps to beach! Safely on the beach side of the road!

Lazy Days beach cottage is a comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath home that is just 120 steps from the Gulf of Mexico. The home is well-stocked and ideally located between the public beach and Stump Pass State Park on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. Stumpy’s “free golf cart ride” stops at the home for island transportation.

"Tarpon Capital of the World". This area is the state's second largest marine estuary, species making it one of the best places to fish in Florida.

Discover the wonders of Stump Pass Park, where you can explore 265 acres of sandy trails, boating, and pristine beaches. Encounter diverse wildlife including herons, pelicans, and dolphins. Don't miss the sea turtle nests coming alive with hatchlings from May 1 to October 31.

Fossilized shark's teeth are a favorite find for beachcombers, and you'll find many among the shells. Snorkel in the clear water for sand dollars and tropical treasures. Set up your umbrella and enjoy peaceful sunsets undisturbed, away from the public beach.

Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit and we supply the fun:
*Smart T.V.’s in every room
*High speed internet
*Beach Cruisers
*Kayaks
*Hammock
*Outdoor Fire Pit
*BBQ
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We thoroughly enjoyed the pet-friendly environment, and our puppies Carly and Emma, had a wonderful time. The rooms, kitchen, and the entire space were charmingly decorated. Due to the impact of Hurricane Helena and Milton, the area had suffered significant damage, and many homes were still undergoing repairs. The hosts were delightful, and communication was prompt and efficient. We certainly plan to return.

The house was clean and recently updated. The location was perfect and only a few stops away from the beach. We will definitely be staying here again!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at lazy days. The place inside was beautifully decorated and very comfortable it felt like home. The owners were very nice and responsive. We thought perhaps the outside could do with some cleaning and improved upon slightly. A keypad on the back door would be nice so we don’t have to walk through the house coming from the beach. We will definitely be coming back. It was a very nice stay. Thank you for all the details.

The host was very friendly and even let us check in early, which we appreciated. The location was good, and overall the house had potential for a great stay.That said, some advertised amenities weren’t as expected. The grill hadn’t been cleaned, the beach umbrellas and cart were broken, and the ice maker didn’t work. Only a few laundry strips were provided, yet checkout required washing towels, and no dishwasher detergent was supplied though we were asked to run it. I even had to replace the fridge filter myself.Individually these things are small, but together they showed a need for better upkeep. A simple checklist between guests would solve most of it. The booklet promised “everything you need” and even asked for a 5-star review, which didn’t match the reality.

Wonderful accommodations and location! The hosts are very easily accessible for communication and have the home set up beautifully. Our kids loved the board games and the easy walk down to the beach. We brought our own gear but the house has bikes, beach chairs & towels, a beach cart, boogie boards, everything you pretty much need. The beds were very comfortable and the appliances were top notch. Only small things we noticed for possible recommendations throughout our week, specifically when traveling with young kids, was towel hooks inside the bathrooms or on the shower walls to hang all the suits and it’d be nice for a key pad on the back door also so when you’re coming straight in from the beach, no one has to go around to the front and trek thru the house to let the beachy family inside to get cleaned up. We loved our stay here and won’t hesitate to return. It’s exciting to see the Key recovering little by little after Milton. Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

Host profile image
My story with this house began the moment I stepped onto the property. I instantly fell in love with Manasota and this house, especially that first, effortless walk—less than a minute—down to the beach, diving headfirst into that beautiful, big blue ocean. It wasn't just a purchase; it was a realization of a dream I share with my entire family, who also own the nearby Amanda Seahorse cottage.

Why they chose this property

🏖️ Sharing the Dream of Peace

Over the years, we've shared our deep love for this unspoiled island through our investment property. It has been one of the most profoundly rewarding experiences to offer a sanctuary—a place of peace and deep relaxation—to those who work so hard and navigate the daily stresses of life. Our guests have been truly amazing, and the cottage has responded by being the perfect haven for their escapes.

What makes this property unique

🦈 The Key Highlights of Manasota Beach:

Unspoiled Atmosphere: Minimal development, which provides a true retreat into nature directly from the cottage.

Shark Tooth Hunting: It's part of Florida's famous "Shark Tooth Coast," making it a unique and fun activity for all ages.

Peaceful and Laid-Back: Known for its low crowds and tranquil vibe, perfect for long walks and unwinding.


🛎️ Your Family, Working for You

With our entire family experienced in real estate and professional property management, we pride ourselves on a tradition of service where the customer—you!—is our focus. When you stay at Lazy Days, you are not just renting a house; you are becoming part of our family's dedication to quality.
