About this property

Entire place

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

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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area.

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.

This was the perfect place for our family. So close to the beach and all the needed equipment for a relaxing day. Proximity is perfect so that if we did get too hot at the beach, just an easy quick walk back. And the gear helped us found TONS of shark teeth at the beach!
