About this property

The BEACH & BAY are steps away. Semi-private fishing dock, free kayaks & bikes

Complimentary bikes and kayaks 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 beach with a hammock, fire pit and fenced private backyard. Take advantage of our outside shower with hot and cold water. Our home is 120 steps to the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico; plus, we are one of the few homes with access to a semi-private dock on Lemon Bay where you can fish, enjoy the sunrise and admire nature at it's best. Great for sun worshipers and fisherman alike. Where else can you relish both the sunrise and the renouned Florida sunsets and only steps away.

Manasota Key is the second largest estuary in Florida. Enjoy the island with the bikes and kayaks provided for your pleasure. Watch the sunrise on Lemon Bay and the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. Our home is fully renovated including new furnishings, appliances and the best stocked home on the Key. We are between the public beach (.1 mile) and Stump Pass State Park (.5 miles). Close to wonderful restaurants with live island music where you can dance the night away.

Kick back, chill out and grill. Spoil yourself with the complimentary kayaks, bicycles 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, Netflix and plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home.

If you are wild about nature, you will love the stroll to Stump Pass Park. There are 265 acres of sandy trails, boating and miles of pristine beaches. The wildlife is amazing. Artists and sun worshippers aren't the only species drawn to our little island. Our breathtaking beach is also popular with fisherman 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 dolphins at play. Take a walk on the wild side and watch the sea turtle nests come alive with hatchlings May 1 to October 31.

Our key is famous for shelling and finding fossilized sharks teeth as you walk the newly renourished beach. Snorkel in the clear water for sand dollars and everything tropical. Put up our umbrella because there's lots of room. We're just far enough from the public beach that you can enjoy the sunsets undisturbed.

For all you fishing enthusiasts, the area is the second largest marine estuary in the state. You will find several species in our waters. Boat to nereby Boca Grand the "Tarpon Capital of the World". The area has several boat ramps so bring your boat. We have plenty of room to park or just fish from the private dock.

Kick back, chill out and grill.

The house was in the perfect location for food, beach and fun! The beach was very close and all that was needed was provided. It was the complete package. We are hoping to do it again soon if not the same time next year! Thanks for the great vacation!

Perfect location snd property
The property was better than advertised. Perfect location in a quaint little beach town. The owners were great. In fact they mailed us our rapid charger that we accidentally left in the bedroom. Only negative was that the master bed was softer than I prefer.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

Host profile image
We fell in love with Manasota Key the minute we crossed the bridge. We are retired and looking for an island we could call home. We were looking for a single family home that our guests would love. We were lucky to find two and are now looking to move to the area. 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.
