About this property

Gulf Coast Beach Retreat. Pool & Sauna, Cold Plunge, Short Walk To Beach.

Your dream beach getaway awaits at Sunset Beach Retreat on beautiful Manasota Key, one of Florida’s best-kept coastal secrets — just 500 steps from the beach. Known for its uncrowded white-sand beaches, incredible shelling, and breathtaking sunsets, Manasota Key offers a peaceful, authentic island escape away from the crowds of busier destinations.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing family vacation, a fun girls’ weekend, or a memorable group getaway, this private coastal retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and resort-style amenities.

Spend your days exploring Manasota Key Beach and nearby Stump Pass Beach State Park, a protected nature preserve famous for its pristine shoreline, wildlife sightings, shark tooth hunting, and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the Gulf Coast. Dolphins, manatees, and coastal birds are often spotted just offshore.

Back at the home, unwind in your private resort-style backyard designed for relaxation and wellness. Take a dip in the pool, relax in the 5-person infrared sauna, or reset with a cold plunge after a day in the sun.

For guests who love to stay active or explore the island, Sunset Beach Retreat delivers. Enjoy complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, and bicycles, challenge friends on the putting green, or take advantage of the optional 6-person golf cart rental to cruise the island, visit the beach, or explore local restaurants and live music spots with ease.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious, open layout designed for gathering and comfort, with room for everyone to relax after a day at the beach. With sleeping accommodations for groups, fast Wi-Fi, and all the comforts of home, this retreat is ideal for everything from laid-back beach days to active island adventures.

Enjoy nearby beachfront dining, local seafood favorites, and live music, or venture a short drive to Englewood, Venice, Boca Grande, and Sarasota for shopping, fishing charters, and memorable day trips.

Whether you’re escaping the cold, celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving time by the sea, Sunset Beach Retreat offers the ultimate Manasota Key experience — steps from the beach, rich in amenities, and designed for unforgettable stays.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Swain

Host profile image
We are local owner’s / host that enjoy sharing our little slice of paradise with our guests. We chose this area close to our home for the old Florida feel, close proximity to the beaches, and crystal clear water, where our kiddos can enjoy the calm beach just steps from our home. Their personal favorite activity is searching for shark teeth all along the wonderful beaches.

Why they chose this property

Manasota Key is one of the few places left along the gulf coast that provides you with that Old Florida feel. A little slice of paradise tucked between Sarasota and Ft Myers, easy access to multiple International Airports. While on the key you can let the stress melt away, families can enjoy everything from the beaches to exploring Lemon Bay kayaking and boating alongside many dolphins.

Enjoy the wonderful local restaurant’s, that offers great food, drinks and live music. Dearborn Ave is just a short drive off the key, where you’ll enjoy great little boutique shops, farmer’s markets and more wonderful restaurants. A short 20 min drive inland to North Port provides you with the home of the Atlanta Braves Spring Training at Wellen Park in North Port. Wellen Park provides a great little downtown area, with live entertainment and activities scheduled throughout the week that includes live music, Friday night entertainment, Sunday Farmer’s Market, local shops, restaurants and a fantastic park that’s very popular with the kiddos.

What makes this property unique

Sunset Beach Retreat was professionally designed for families. We set out to create a place with a fresh design that compliments the wonderful beach surroundings that Manasota Key offers. With families in mind we packed it full of amenities for all age's.

Our goal is to provide a beach retreat that families can share and create life long memories that they can share with one another and come back to enjoy every year. So many options for your group to choose from. We offer a brand new pool that’s heated in the winter and can be chilled to a desired temperature in the dead heat of summer. For those looking for something different we offer a 5 person Infrared Sauna and Cold Plunge. The kiddos have their own area with our little playset that’s a sure hit for the kids in the fenced in backyard area, giving parents that peace of mind where the kids can play for hours while you relax and enjoy everyone’s company.

The new layout and interior design offers families and groups two bedrooms with King Size beds, along with a Bunk Room with four Full Size Beds for the kids or extra room for additional adults if you elect for an adult only trip. Both bathrooms have been completely redesigned and remodeled. We offer a large double vanity with huge walk in shower bathroom next to the bunk room and a bathroom with tub/ shower combo between both primary bedrooms.

The newly designed kitchen / and dinning room offers a beautiful island that seats 4 and a dining table that can seat up to 8 allowing everyone to dine together for those larger gatherings. We offer a brand new washer and dryer for your convenience to do laundry during your stay.

Everything from the inside and out has been professionally designed to provide the best relaxing and fun guests experience for families of all generations. Want explore the island in style, please reach out to us about the option to rent our 6 person golf cart for the convenience and enjoyment to cruise the island in style.
