Manasota Beach awaits you! Drive down picturesque Manasota Beach Rd. and turn onto a private, dead end road with a Sarasota county walking path at the end. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. This manasota beach neighborhood has long been hailed the best in the area-for its proximity to manasota beach (0.9 miles/5 min bike/2 min drive) secluded properties and the many wildlife preserves-from the Florida scrub jay to the gopher tortoise. Don't get stuck in a "south venice" or a location south of Manasota Beach road-this is where it's at!

Our VRBO boasts true hospitality with no detail left untouched. From plush spa rolled-towels to local coffee and FIJI water! If you’re looking for a thoughtful, boutique-like home, that is entirely cared for by its owners-read on…

Home sits on a private, dead end road with a walking trail at end! Few neighbors, backyard entirely fenced, ultra private and peaceful. You will be amazed at the level of privacy this home offers. Enjoy the sun, grill, relaxation and sounds of birds and wildlife from a lounge chair on our deck! We've created spaces and nooks that offer R&R at its finest.

FLOOR-PLAN is the perfect "split" layout: 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths on opposite sides of the home making it ideal for one couple, two, or a couple with children. Offers the ultimate privacy!

MAIN ENTRANCE/FRONT PATIO is a lovely paver patio with chairs to enjoy that morning coffee. Behind the front door is a sunny, very fun space that emphasizes vacation fun! Decorated in a cool, updated bohemian-beach style, you will feel right at home. Our home is the eptiome of comfort!

Plenty of options for fishing-from calm intercoastal waters to the gulf-ask us about fishing and we'll "hook" you up! Gulf waters tend to be calm and tranquil, perfect for swimming, wading or snorkeling or paddleboarding. We have created a mini "chamber of commerce" with lots of brochures, menus and information about our beautiful Sarasota county area. So many things to do, you will readily take advantage of our many recommendations for the area-from the best places to fish to kayaking, manatee & dolphin watching, finding sharks teeth, restaurants and so much more.
