About this property

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, Sunset on the Beach, Sunrise on the Dock.

Experience the pinnacle of Florida living where every coastal craving is met. Located a mere 120 steps from the sand, this property offers a front-row seat to the Gulf’s turquoise waters. Start your morning hunting for prehistoric sharks’ teeth on the beach or take a short, scenic stroll to the world-famous Stump Pass State Park to immerse yourself in untouched wildlife and pristine trails.

Beyond the beach, your lifestyle expands to the water’s edge with access to a private community dock—perfect for an afternoon of fishing or launching your next adventure. When the sun begins to set, leave the car behind. You are within easy walking distance of vibrant shops, waterfront restaurants, and the soul of the island’s live music scene. Whether you’re casting a line into the Gulf or dancing the night away, this is more than a home—it’s an all-access pass to paradise.

Enjoy the entire island on our complimentary bikes while you enjoy our PRIVATE SINGLE FAMILY HOME with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a lanai for ultra enjoyment. If you like privacy enjoy our fenced back yard with a hammock, fire pit and grill. Take advantage of our outside shower with hot and cold water. Seahorse Cottage is one of the few homes with access to a semi-private dock on Lemon Bay and 120' to the aqua waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Kick back, chill and grill. Spoil yourself with the complimentary bikes and all the beach toys you will need. Enjoy the most beautiful and undiscovered isle in Florida. We are dog friendly and your fur babies have a fenced yard for their protection. There are big screen smart T.V.'s in every room, high speed internet, and plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

Host profile image
Linda is a Florida native so it was important to find a home that reminded her of "old" Florida. We searched the entire State and fell in love with Manasota Key the minute we crossed the bridge. We love our guests and have made many friends that visit us each year. We found the perfect home with the perfect location. Dan was in property management at the ski resorts in Colorado while Linda made her career in real property law. Our combined management skills are essential to make all our guests have the best beach vacation possible.

Why they chose this property

Linda is a native of Florida and wanted a home with that old Florida feel. There aren't many islands left that aren't filled with high rises and tourists. We found our gem and we hope our guests love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We are one of the few rental homes on the key that has access to the prestine Gulf of Mexico (1/2 block) and the waters of Lemon Bay (1 block). Enjoy sunrise at the dock with a cup of hot brew while enjoying majestic nature that can only be found in Lemon Bay Acquatic Preserve. Complete your day by enjoying a beautiful sunset at the beach. Now that's island time all within a block away.
