About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Newly renovated Key to Life Beach House is your place to be on Manasota Key.

This newly renovated 2 queen bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home is a great home away from home for your next vacation. The tropical setting on the quiet south end of the Key makes for a great place to wind down from a stressful life. This private, fully furnished, tastefully decorated home is only 250 steps to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beach and has a peak a boo view of Lemon Bay. It truly is a perfect place for your next get away.

This home offers a beautiful kitchen with new cabinets, quartz countertop, and breakfast counter with an open floor plan dining and living room, 2 bedrooms, each with queen beds and their own bathrooms. The living room has queen size sleeper sofa.
With this home, you will be provided with many amenities to make you feel at home and help make your stay comfortable and memorable. Some of the amenities include a fully stocked kitchen with a Keurig coffee maker, 55' Smart TV in the living room, and free wireless internet access. It is also complete with a laundry room with complementary use of washer and dryer. New AC unit installed in Fall of 2023 to make the warm days more comfortable.
For the outdoor grilling enthusiast, there is a 5 burner gas grill on the screened in Lanai. We also have a tandem Kayak, life jackets, 4 Tommy Bahamas backpack beach chairs with coolers and a beach cart.

You will have a very short walk from the Key to Life Beach House to our deeded beach path for your beach walks, shelling, fishing or for hunting for prehistoric shark teeth. You may want to take a dip in the Gulf or just sit on the beach and watch for the dolphins and manatees to swim by. The beach is a great place to watch an amazing sunset in the evenings.

Stump Pass State Park is only a 2 block walk from the front door, where you will find hiking paths, kayak and paddle board rentals, and over a mile of undisturbed "old Florida" shoreline. It is a perfect place to fish or to launch a kayak or paddle board and a pristine beach that is one of the best kept secrets on the Gulf Coast.


After a day at the beach, you can come back and relax in your own screened in lanai with comfortable patio furniture and plenty of play space for spreading out. Here you can enjoy some good conversation or just relish the evening air and
the peace and tranquility that Manasota Key offers.

If you're in the mood for an evening out, simply call for a free shuttle to take you to the local restaurants on the key. The Lock 'N Key, The SandBar Tiki Grille, The Waverly and Magnolias on the bay are all located on the island and offer great food in a family friendly atmosphere, some with live music most evenings. When you are through with your meal, the shuttle will bring you back home. There are free beach yoga classes every morning on Englewood Beach. The Key has gift shops, fresh sea food market, as well as a local convenience store. If you are in the mood to rent a pleasure boat, jet skis or or take a fishing charter, several water sport rental option are available on the Key.

Drive off the Key and you will find several grocery stores, countless eating choices and a Walmart within few minutes drive. The artistic city of Englewood is full of wonderful shops and offers a unique shopping experience.

Come and let the Key to Life Beach House be your next vacation paradise.

Floor lay out was different than normal, with 2 bathrooms in the master bedroom, but we figured it out so both couples had privacy and their own bathroom. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. They even had some spices for us to use. Very pleased with location and house, definitely would rent again.

Lovely Beach House, Lovely Hosts

Our family booked a last minute beach getaway before school started back up and this little house was perfect! The property is well cared for, with many updates, including all new appliances, since the hurricane. The host was amazing and the home had all we needed and then some. With the beach steps away, we spent most of our days in the sand and on the water. While the island is still recovering with many properties under repair it is still the beautiful, friendly, laid back place we love. Thank you for the memories!

Key to Life Beach House was amazing! The pictures online do not reflect the beautiful renovations that have been made. The house was well stocked with everything we could possibly need or want. It was very close to a wooden boardwalk for easy beach access. Even though Stump Pass State Park has not reopened from the last hurricane we were close enough to walk down the beach to the end of the key which was so peaceful. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Shark tooth adventure!

The home has been beautifully renovated, the pictures do not do it justice! Manatosa Key is obviously still recovering from Hurricanes Milton and Helene but people should not let this stop them from visiting! Perfect beach house if you’re wanting to stay at the beach. Literally steps from the beach. Our kids, and the adults, spent hours collecting shark teeth and playing at the beach! Definitely will be back!

Very sorry to all of the property owners due to the devastation of Milton last October. I can sympathize. This home is an extremely nice renovation with very comfortable beds. I’m of the opinion that bedding is one of the most important features for an owner to provide to their guests. We plan to return soon. Our daughter moved into this area (works on Manasota Key) a few months back from where we live in north metro Atlanta, and it had been a couple decades since we’d been to this area of Florida as we are in Walton County / Miramar Beach.

Amazing property

The home was spotless and better appointed than any property I have stayed at. I always bring my own spices and knives, but I wouldn't have needed to. The beds were comfortable and the living room welcoming. The location was perfect, steps away from Stump's pass or the gulf. We spent the sunsets on the beach and there were so many activities close by. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We love the house and location. The house is great for just hanging out or hosting a few friends for dinner or cards. Easy access to the beautiful beach with no challenges. 20 minute walk to yoga on the beach is a big plus for me. Owners are very easy to communicate with. Can't wait to come again.

This property was even better than expected . It looked very nice on the rental site but many new renovations that were done made the house even better. It was found to be very clean and very well stocked from cleaning supplies to kitchen items to beach chairs , towels etc. Beds very comfortable ! Cindy was very helpful answering any questions we had. The location is great…quieter end of the Manasota Key and close to the beach and Stump Pass State Park. Look forward very much to returning next year! We loved it ! Carol & Al

Nicely renovated, close to the beach

Our family stayed at the property between Christmas and New Year’s. At the time of the booking our stay there were older pictures of property in the listing so we were pleasantly surprised by the upgrades. Check in was straightforward and owner was communicating with us and helpful. Just before our arrival at the property owner notified us that because of storms that were rolling through gulf a week prior there was some water intrusion into the house and dishwasher was not working and bathroom door was swollen from water, however when we arrived we discovered that there was no internet and some other electrical problems. We understood that those things happen and didn’t expect those issues resolved during our stay especially during Christmas break. Owner offered discounted rate for our inconvenience and we moved on. This property is clean, well equipped and close to park, beach and restaurants definitely worth considering when planning to stay in Manasota Key. Im leaving 4 Star rating just because our inconveniences but definitely 5 star when everything works as expected.

Awesome little place

Our stay was great - short walk to the beach. Wanna B Inn was closed due to construction so beach was very quiet and private. We did want to use the bikes but tires were flat and when we went to use the pump noticed one of the tires was completely blown so we walked but that was not a big deal for us. Overall a great little place to stay.

Great beach house!

This place was perfect for our beach headquarters. Gorgeous beach just a short walk away. Great layout for two couples. House is spacious, charming, relaxed, unassuming. We especially loved the giant lanai and bonus bed in the breezeway! The bed mattresses and pillows were new/ish and very comfortable (which, unfortunately can be unusual in rentals). The couch pull out mattress was actually very comfortable - really! (Tempur pedic?) You can't feel any bars or any part of the frame under it! We prepared/ate every meal at the house/made lunch for beach. Kitchen was roomy and very well equipped. Close access to grocery/convenience stores and pharmacies. There was a cold snap at the beginning of our visit and the house had comfortable heat. When the weather got more seasonal, the AC was great as well. Very comfortable! Hosts extremely responsive. Would love to stay here again.
