Family-Friendly Beach Cottage Manasota Key

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our family had a great stay! We traveled with a baby, toddler and two dogs and had plenty of space and everything we needed. Birgit was quick to respond when we had questions. The house is spacious and comfortable. We loved being able to walk across the street to the beach! And the convenience of having an outdoor shower to wash off the kids. There was lingering hurricane damage nearby, but Birgit’s place is pristine! We would definitely return in the future.

Spacious 2 Bedroom Home | Near Beach | Heated Pool

HeatherRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The stay was in a nice neighborhood. Enjoyed spending time at the pool there. The house was clean and free of clutter. When we had issues with the AC, Melissa responded right away and worked hard to fix the issue immediately. She refunded us the night as we stayed at a hotel with the house at 80. The AC got fixed the next day and we stayed our final night. Thanks Melissa for all your help making for a great stay.

PRIME Location! 60 Steps to PRIVATE BEACH Dogs OK!

Jo-AnneRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Beautiful home for a stay at the beach. We like to cook as a family so this beautiful, extremely well equipped kitchen had everything you could possibly need for a meal! The home is spacious, comfortable and well equipped even beyond the kitchen! The local Turtle Patrol welcomed us into their group! Learned so much, and got to observe the logging of a new nest. Would whole heartedly and return. Manasota Key is a beautiful spot!

TROPICAL OASIS, MINUTES FROM THE BEACH!!

TracieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great stay! The place was immaculate, quiet, and very well-appointed—everything we needed was thoughtfully provided. It's just a short drive to the beach, which made it incredibly convenient for relaxing days by the water. The host was extremely attentive and responsive, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, beachside getaway.

*New Listing* ☀️TheAquaOasis🌴Pool-6 miles to beach

RalphRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Kellie's place "The Aqua Oasis" was everything we were looking for. It was bright, clean, comfortable, well decorated, spacious, stocked well, and only 10 min or less to the beautiful and tranquil waters of the Gulf. The pool was nice to take a dip in and the fact that she accepts pets is great for us canine owners! Also, Kellie was a very prompt communicator which was appreciated when we needed her. If I'm ever back in the Englewood area, I'll definitely stay again.

Lil Nauti South is a perfect place to unwind.

MorganRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a perfect little getaway! This was our first time ever coming to Englewood/Manasota Key and we’re already planning our next trip back. My husband and I love to look for sharks teeth and we found a little over 1600 in our 6 day stay!! Stephanie thank you again so so much for everything and for opening your home to us! Very easy check in/out. Extremely clean and such a sweet host who thought of everything to make our stay cozy and content! Variety of board games, tons of beach supplies available for guest to enjoy, and the drink tumbler souvenirs were such a nice and thoughtful gift. We cannot wait to be back! :)

Ocean Oasis on Manasota Key - Ocean View

BriannaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay at Brian and Alicia’s place was just what we had hoped for for a relaxing family friendly vacation! The condo itself had everything we needed from all kitchen appliances to extra towels (you need a lot when you spend every day at the beach and pool!). They were super friendly and quick to respond, very helpful with recommendations and going above and beyond what you’d find at most other airbnbs. Highly recommend staying here and we hope to be back!

This has been our best AirBnB experience yet! Marti was an awesome host! The unit was extremely nice and newly renovated! Very private but close to the beach and restaurants. My husband and I stayed here for our 1 year anniversary and enjoyed the place so much we already booked another stay with there for later this year! The bed & pillows were comfortable and there was a nice ceiling fan! And we loved the pool!!

Boardwalk Beachfront Getaway

JennaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a great time visiting Beth’s unit at The Boardwalk Condominiums. The condo itself was perfect for our family, the view of the Gulf was beautiful, and Manasota Key area was so fun for our family with ages ranging from 73 years old to 12 years old. Lots of fun walking to restaurants and hopping between the pool and beach. Thanks for everything, Beth!

Lemon Bay Beach House with Private Backyard

KennethRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I chose Anton’s property to provide short travel for four of us on a great Florida island for my 78th birthday. The three bedrooms and two full baths were perfect for our privacy needs. Having garage parking for one of our cars was very convenient. The home was not disappointing in any way. The large living room and seating was very comfortable. One issue that we conquered quickly was the lack of a streaming service connection since we all had a series that we were watching at home. When we arrived home after early dinners out, we found that we were sitting in the living room and talking to each other face-to-face and discussing ranges of interesting topics until late in the evenings. Thank you again Anton and Marina, I will definitely return. Ken

Your guide to Manasota Key

All About Manasota Key

Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast south of Sarasota and Venice, Manasota Key is an 11-mile barrier island known for its peaceful beaches and diverse wildlife. A short bridge over the calm waters of Lemon Bay connects the island to mainland Florida, while the key’s white sand and turquoise water provide limitless shelling and snorkeling opportunities, often yielding an assortment of fossils and shells. You can frequently spot local wildlife here, including dolphins, manatees, and gopher tortoises. With several nature parks, hiking paths, and picnic tables stationed near many of the beaches, there are many ways to enjoy the magnificent sunset views and the warm Gulf breeze in Manasota Key.

Hop over to the nearby cities of Sarasota and Venice for additional restaurants, shopping experiences, and museums, such as the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the 1927 Historic Venice Train Depot.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Manasota Key

Winters on Manasota Key are generally mild, while summers are hot and humid, so you likely won’t need to pack a jacket. While the summer months tend to see more rainfall and a potential hurricane here and there, the showers are generally short and more risky weather is rare, meaning there is plenty of time to enjoy the beach during this season. In addition, May through October is turtle nesting season, and around July, you may spot large numbers of baby sea turtles emerging from the sand and rushing toward the water. Be sure not to disturb these animals, and give them plenty of space.

The weather cools down somewhat in the fall, and in mid-November, fun activities such as the Siesta Key Crystal Classic Master Sand Sculpting Competition also bring people into town. You can vote on your favorite sand sculptures, take sculpting lessons, enjoy live music, and indulge in the local food trucks for all-around entertainment.

Stump Pass Beach State Park

Located on the south end of Manasota Key, the park is situated between the Gulf of Mexico and the calm waters of Lemon Bay, giving visitors year-round swimming, snorkeling, shelling, fishing, and birdwatching opportunities. The secluded beach is also lovely in wintertime when hiking trails make the park a popular place to catch a glimpse of the many native animals that reside here, including manatees, tortoises, and numerous species of birds.

Venice Area Audubon Rookery

The Venice Area Audubon Rookery is a small island in the center of a pond that is internationally known for its bird- and wildlife-watching opportunities, as well as being suitable ground for a picnic pit stop. Feast your eyes on the numerous different species as they build nests, incubate eggs, and raise their chicks. Bat houses have been added to the rookery, allowing you to view hundreds of bats emerging in the evenings. The rookery is run entirely by volunteers, who won’t hesitate to share an extra pair of binoculars for optimal viewing.

Blind Pass Beach

Blind Pass Beach is considered a sheller’s dream, with half a mile of shoreline sand studded with seashells and shark’s teeth. You can fish, kayak, or walk the trails lined with mangrove trees, all while checking out dolphins making their occasional loops in and out of the warm Gulf waters.
