About this property

Manatee House - Beautiful bayfront house

Beautiful bayfront home with 3 full bedrooms. Watch the sunrise over Lemon bay and the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Just a short 4 minute drive to one of the public beaches: Manasota Beach to your right and Blind Pass Beach to your left, each with free parking.

This home is beautifully furnished and is wonderful for a family gathering (limit of 8 people). The living area is open-concept so that you can enjoy being together while you're cooking, dining, and watching the large screen TV.

There are three nice-sized bedrooms each with a queen-size bed, plus bunk beds for the visiting grandchildren, and three full bathrooms completely updated. There are nice bay views and a view of the volleyball court from the master bedroom, living room, kitchen and screened balcony. In addition the property has an open patio and a small deck near the dock with a hammock to enjoy. Among the amenities are a washer & dryer, gas grill, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a sandy volleyball court, kayaks for your use, a long dock on Lemon Bay, and beach chairs to take to the public beach. Bring your boat, there's plenty of space to park a boat trailer.

There are several nice restaurants near the south end of the island, a gift shop, convenience store, and boat/kayak rental shop. On the mainland you'll find grocery stores, all kinds of shopping, hospitals and walk-in clinics, and now a new waterpark in North Port, all within a short drive from the house.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our new favorite spot.

Over the last 7 years We have been visiting the area and at many houses in the Engkewood/Boca Grande/Little Gasporilla/Manasota Key area, and this is our favorite so far! It was great for families and friends, I can’t wait to bring the kids next time. The house was set up and decorated beautifully. It had everything we needed, even chairs and kayaks! We loved waking up to the beautiful sunrise ever morning, jumping on our boat or going to the beach. The communication with the property management was absolutely wonderful. Best experience yet.

Perfect for families

This house was perfect for our large family with plenty of room for everyone. We fished off the dock, brought our jet skis which we kept there (tied to the dock) and the kids loved having the volleyball court where they played every night once the sun set. There are two houses that share the property but that was not an issue at all. In fact, if we came with a smaller group I'd probably stay at the smaller front house. There is plenty to share with everyone. We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful on Lemon Bay

The house is beautiful and was well stocked for our needs. Would be a perfect family getaway to reconnect and relax. The view of Lemon Bay from the screened deck overlooking the water is fantastic and our favorite spot. Having a dock at your fingertips is a fisherman’s dream. However, so other renters are not thrown off guard as we were…the dock and all water equipment are not just for your own use but is shared with the other rental at the front of the property. That is not in the description, and we did not see the note by the refrigerator until after people walked around the house to use the dock. Imagine renting a house with a gorgeous pool only to find out when you got there that the people next door are allowed to use the pool anytime they like. It wasn’t a big deal for us but if you are looking for total privacy you might not get that here. The Manasota Key Beach is a very short drive and there is no fee to park (it is our favorite). Sandbar restaurant is excellent and also a short drive. Stump Pass State Park is a must while here ($3 parking fee). There are so many things to do and see in this area. The house is lovely, and I would stay again. You won’t be disappointed with this rental.

We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay at this Lemon Bayfront home! This house does not have a pool. We think that you are calling Lemon Bay a 'gorgeous pool'. Other people reading your review could worry that a neighbor will come over day or night to swim in a pool at this house.

Amazing view of the bay-Fantastic, large,clean house for families!

The pictures don’t do this house justice, it was better than what we expected! Because the island is small, the way the plant growth is wedged between properties, we had so much privacy, peace, & quiet. The bedrooms are spread out around the house so my 3 children all had their own space. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. My husband spent every morning fishing in a kayak on the bay and every evening fishing off the dock. We did have to purchase a volleyball to play, but the wal-mart is only 15 min away. All the rafts, boogie board, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, were provided so we didn’t have to bring anything. The wagon is a plastic little tikes wagon so it was a struggle to roll on sand. If you’ve never been to MK, you need to know, you can only get to the beach if you drive to one of the 4 public beach access points. Even though this house sits across the street from the beach, you can’t get to it without walking thru someone else’s private property. Now, we did discover an access trail to a private section of the beach that’s wonderful. It’s 3 houses north of this house. There’s a shell trail that takes you straight to the beach. We learned the hard way though it may not be the best for swimming, especially if the waves are choppy. There are rocks on the ground so my feet got cut up when a wave pushed me over. Just be cautious if you use this piece. It’s beautiful though for enjoying the sand and sunset. The sand on MK is not soft and white. It’s gritty and gray, so that was disappointing for us. The water is really pretty though, an aqua color. We had bad seaweed the first 2 days but it cleared out and swimming was so enjoyable. You will see manatee at the bay and in the ocean with you. The island has some large lizards too that resemble a cousin of the iguana. They’re harmless if you leave them alone. The view of the bay from this house is absolutely amazing! If you go in the summer, the back porch is so hot since there’s not a ceiling fan, so just be prepared. I found A fan in the closet & plugged it up to the outlet behind the couch so I could Have some air flow while on the porch. The beds are very comfortable and there’s plenty of xtra towels & sheets/blankets in the closets. The best restaurant on the island is The Sandbar! Large portions, so much to choose from and fun servers!

A week of rest and relaxation

First, let us start with the positive features. A clean and spacious home with room for our large family! We loved it and all the amenities!The best of all we ever rented there, house wise. Now the downfall, the lack of beach access😞Perhaps a golf cart could be provided to help access the beach or perhaps a neighbor across the street would allow families access. I know we would happily pay a fee just to have the ability to cross directly to the beach!

Beautiful House Gorgeous view close to beach

We loved this house. It was perfect for 3 couples or with kids. The house is beautifully renovated , a great floor plan giving guests privacy and a beautiful view of the bay. The owner has it generously stocked with every thing you need, from the kitchen to the beach. There was no beach access at the house which was disappointing, but there are 2 beaches within minutes away. It is easier to put all of the beach gear in the car than to walk anyway. Blind Pass and Manasota Beach are great beaches to play or for long walks. Collect your fair share of sharks teeth and shells! The dock is fantastic. We caught redfish, snook, trout, and lots of Jack Cravelle. Beautiful sunrise views, dolphins, and manatees. It is fun to watch the Mullet jumping.
