About this property

Directly On The Beach, Oceanfront Condo with Beautiful Views of the Gulf!

  • Looking for the best view of the Gulf of America and a private beach on Manasota Key?

    You have found it! Our cozy condo is the perfect island vacation. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a honeymoon destination or just a cozy place to relax and enjoy the beach and amazing sunsets, this is the place. We are located directly on the beach with rare, hard to find, panoramic views for miles in both directions of the beach and of the Gulf of America. You'll enjoy spectacular, unobstructed views of the Gulf from inside the condo and on the covered, open porch. Spend your day hanging out at the beach directly in front of your condo watching the waves roll in. Watch the beautiful sunset every evening while relaxing on your porch or while having a romantic sunset dinner inside. Several restaurants, live music every night, and shopping are all within walking distance, including Magnolias on the Bay, which is right across the street that serves lunch and dinner.

    Enjoy keyless and easy entry.

    Our condo is updated with high end quality bathrooms and kitchen.

    This condo is on the top floor and does require walking two flights of stairs but oh so worth it! We call it the Stairway to Heaven :)

    Beach chairs are provided for your enjoyment. Free Cable TV and free WIFI are included as well.

    Our condo sleeps 4 and has two full baths. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living room area that has a solid privacy divider and a closet.

    There is a washer and dryer for your use.

    Free parking for 2 cars.

    The condo is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay.

    We do allow children and 1 dog. Additional guests are not permitted on the beach or at the condo.

    If you don't see your dates available, we also own the condo in this building directly below, which is also direct beach/Gulf view and may be available.

    PLEASE NOTE: Our building is the only true beachfront in our complex of three buildings with direct views of the Gulf and beach inside the condo and on the porch.

    The other two buildings in the complex are situated on the road and in the middle of the complex and require a short walk to the beach.

    If you're looking for a place to sit on your porch and enjoy the sunset or watch the waves roll in, our building is the only one that has that luxury in our complex.

Great location, Nice place to relax and find sharks teeth !

It was great , everything we needed right on the beach. Felt so bad for the surrounding hurricane damage. Please stay here and visit the local businesses/ restaurants and help them out . They are trying to get their lives back together. A little support goes along way .

Great Location and Great Property

My wife and I spent 11 days enjoying the Condo. The porch kept out any rain while we watched the sea birds and beautiful beach. The condo is walkable to several restaurants even for us 70+ year olds. We did not rush up and down the two flights of stairs but the good railing made them very doable.

Peaceful and relaxing

This was really a nice getaway for our anniversary. The accommodations were as depicted in the listing pictures. It was clean and well kept. The beach was very accessible and we appreciated the use of the umbrella and beach chairs in the storage unit. The views were very nice from the balcony and there were a number of restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend and use again.

Perfect quiet beach stay

The apartment was exactly as described. Super clean, well appointed, and almost on the beach. The view from the balcony is amazing. The only slight problem we had was that the pull out sofa bed is not comfortable for an adult. Perhaps best to use it for a child. We definitely hope to return.

Perfect Beach View

Perfect for two. Cozy and comfortable. Great view of gulf from balcony. Beach just steps away. Felt like a private beach. Very quiet and relaxing. Be prepared for steps required to access condo. A little challenging but worth the view.

Lovely apartment right on the beach

The apartment is comfortable. The porch overlooking the beach is wonderful . Unfortunately, the damage from the hurricane is up and down the beach and definitely makes the area less desirable. That’s not the fault of the owner . The owner could have been more forthright about the damage though. We were shocked at the devastation.

Paradise

We have stayed here for quite a few years and really appreciate the updates that the new owner has done. Loved that it is no pets and no kids. It gets harder to climb the steps every year ,but thats cause our age. Already trying to decide what date for next year. Also appreciate the privacy and even though the owner lives in the area she respects your privacy..⛱

Beautiful view

One of the cleanest rentals we’ve stayed in. We checked in before shopping for food and were surprised at all the supplies provided. We were able to eliminate several things from our list. Overall it was exactly as portrayed in the description. If you’re a reader, you might want to bring a book light. There is only one lamp in the living room area.

Lovely September Stay

We walked in the front door and could smell the cleanliness. Everything was crisp and in excellent condition. We had everything we needed for a multi-day getaway, right down to details like trash bags, toilet paper and hand soap. The view of the ocean was incredible and unobstructed. Getting on the beach was a matter of walking downstairs, grabbing our beach chairs and taking maybe 10 steps? 20 steps? This was literally beachfront. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Little Piece of Paradise

This upstairs (28 stairs...) unit is right on the gulf with wonderful views of the sea & beach. It was spring break so the area was crowded as well as the beach, despite signs noting its privacy for the complex. The condo is all you need but beach towels need to be replaced and unit needs more hand towels and wash cloths. And the floors need a deep clean - as well as the sofa . These things are just a bit 'tired' or soiled from alot of use over time. And the shag area rugs collect alot of sand/are less than ideal for a beach property. Overall, you can't beat the location and proximity to the gulf. We loved the porch for relaxing and great sunsets. If you aren't particularly 'fit' the stairs might be challenging. Would come back tho.

Great rental, great view

Overall the rental is fantastic exactly what we expected from the pictures. Centrally located on Manasota Key and directly on the beach. The only negative, which has nothing to do with the rental, is the damage and clean up from the hurricane. First, several restaurants are closed on the key. This worked out as we just traveled to find places we have never been but for those looking to stay on the key your options are limited. Second, there is major beach reconstruction going on. The entirety of our trip consisted of dump trucks, bull dozers and bobcats running loads of sand from englewood beach to in front of our rental and down the beach. This starts at 7am and lasted until 5pm. Constant beeping and construction noises the entire time. This made the beach in front of the rental unusable. Englewood beach is closed with giant mounds of sand to be redistributed on the beach. The point of me sharing is this is beyond the owners control but the beach is unusable and the options for food are limited. Please consider this when booking.
