Pineapple Express at the Beach Shack Just one block from the beach!

Rod and I are northern transplants from Ohio and Pennsylvania (respectively) that moved to Florida back in 1990. We have been married for going on 25 years and have two wonderful sons- Conor and Quinn who have kept us busy for the majority of these years with school activities, Club soccer and Boy Scouts. As we move into the empty nest stage of our lives in a few years we are working on our "Nest". We look forward to sharing this "Nest" with you as well.

The love of the beach has brought us together with you. We are excited to be able to share this Gulf Oasis with our friends, family and guests. We want to expand our circle by inviting visitors from all over the US, Canada and World to experience the quiet, serene location we have found at the Beach Shack of Manasota Key. It has given us great peace and relaxation and we have now been fortunate enough to own a piece of this paradise to share with all of you. And an FYI this property part of a triplex with a matching unit, Seaglass Inn, that offers the same amenities as well as the Flamingo's Nest that is a fully updated one bed/ one bath. We thought it perfect to be able to bring another family/friends and still be able to have your own space. Ask us about availability for both sides!! Unique Benefits

Spending time with friends on Manasota Key led us to fall in love with the island. The quaint community of visitors gives you a sense of belonging. When you drive over the small draw bridge that takes you on to the island your eyes sneak a peak to the water to see if the dolphins are in view - you can't help but let out a breath of calmness as you have entered your relaxing destination. Many travelers come from the North during the winter months to beat the cold weather and stay for months on end- year after year. Others that live in Florida or the warmer areas come to get away from our everyday life even if just a short drive. While at the Beach Shack you will feel at home whether it is for a weekend -a week - or a month. The warm "Good Mornings" from those on the beach looking for Shark's Teeth (which are abundant if you look) or those you pass while walking/biking just makes you feel like you have found your Home Away from Home. The Beach Shack of Manasota Key will become a favorite and repeat destination for you- Promise!!
