BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, Sunset on the Beach, Sunrise on the Dock.

Experience the pinnacle of Florida living where every coastal craving is met. Located a mere 120 steps from the sand, this property offers a front-row seat to the Gulf’s turquoise waters. Start your morning hunting for prehistoric sharks’ teeth on the beach or take a short, scenic stroll to the world-famous Stump Pass State Park to immerse yourself in untouched wildlife and pristine trails.

Beyond the beach, your lifestyle expands to the water’s edge with access to a private community dock—perfect for an afternoon of fishing or launching your next adventure. When the sun begins to set, leave the car behind. You are within easy walking distance of vibrant shops, waterfront restaurants, and the soul of the island’s live music scene. Whether you’re casting a line into the Gulf or dancing the night away, this is more than a home—it’s an all-access pass to paradise.

Enjoy the entire island on our complimentary bikes 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 fenced back yard with a hammock, fire pit and grill. Take advantage of our outside shower with hot and cold water. Seahorse Cottage is one of the few homes with access to a semi-private dock on Lemon Bay and 120' to the aqua waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

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

We loved the house and location. Probably one of the cleanest VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Being so close to the beach and bay was the best of both worlds. The privacy fence was a plus so we could let our dog safely outside without a leash. The host thought of every detail to make this home comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you for such a relaxing vacation, it was just what we needed!

What a nice place to stay!! The kitchen was very well equipped and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Loved the walk in shower in the master bath. The location was wonderful. Just a very short walk to the beach. Closer than a lot of so-called oceanfront properties. No steps to negotiate. The beach chairs were very comfortable and easy to take to the beach with the beach buggy provided. The home is decorated very nicely with a seahorse theme. The lanai is very comfortable and large. The pass through window from the kitchen to the lanai was very useful when we cooked out on the provided grill. We didn't use the outdoor shower. However, if my grandson had been there, it would have been perfect for him. We did, however, use the spray hose every day when returning from the beach. We would gladly stay in this lovely home again in the future. The three of us found around 1700 shark teeth during our one week stay. However, no big ones. But we're happy. The ocean in this area is so clear with lots of shells to choose from for your collection. Also, we fished at the dock and caught 3 catfish which we cooked and ate that night. The dock gives a beautiful view of the bay and the boats that pass through there.

Beautiful vacation home with all the amenities. Just a block from the beach and what a relaxed vibe for our stay. Everything we needed was provided and having the beach wagon, chairs, and noodles to float made the experience that much better. Easy to find, check in was a breeze, very clean, comfortable bed, and every time we turned around we discovered something else we loved. Stump Pass was amazing and this location was great for shelling and finding sharks teeth. We will be back.

Quaint Beach Adventure

We stayed with our two kids, under 5, and enjoyed the property. We loved the proximity to the beach, loved the beach amenities the homeowners left us to use, and the closeness to restaurants and some beach shops. The house was well equipped with the things we needed to cook, entertain, and relax. It's nice to see the area rebuilding after the hurricanes last fall. House was clean and well kept! We would stay again.

This was our second time at this location and fourth year at one of Dan & Linda’s properties. Everything was clean and to be expected! We had just enough amenities and perfect access to our local favorites (beach, walking paths, restaurants). Manasota Key is a hidden gem and we’re eager to see it back on its feet from last year’s storms. Grateful for an amazing stay.

Birthday getaway

Mom and i traveled from Wisconsin to celebrate her 86th birthday.We flew into Sarasota and it was an easy drive using google maps. The house is very well decorated and had everything we needed for the week. There are so many restaurants and shopping in close vicinity. The beach is just a short walk across the street, and never felt overcrowded. Beach chairs and an umbrella are provided, along with any toys if traveling with children. I would recommend beach shoes as there are a lot of broken shells along the shoreline. During our stay we saw both dolphins and 2 manatees close to the beach. If i get a chance to bring mom to Florida again, i would definitely stay her again.

Relaxing Old Florida Charm

If you are looking for the activity of Daytona or Myrtle Beach, this is not the booking for you. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet "Old Florida" charm and pace, this is the place to stay. Quiet beach right across the street. great restaurants and bars within walking distance of house - yet far enough not to be bothered by noise. Bungalow has everything you need for a nice beach stay. Spent the weekend with family before son deployed to Kuwait. Thanks for such a wonderful memory.
