January Beach Retreat Escape. Heated Pool & Sauna, Short Walk To Beach.

Your dream beach getaway awaits at Sunset Beach Retreat on beautiful Manasota Key, one of Florida’s best-kept coastal secrets — just 500 steps from the beach. Known for its uncrowded white-sand beaches, incredible shelling, and breathtaking sunsets, Manasota Key offers a peaceful, authentic island escape away from the crowds of busier destinations.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing family vacation, a fun girls’ weekend, or a memorable group getaway, this private coastal retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and resort-style amenities.

Spend your days exploring Manasota Key Beach and nearby Stump Pass Beach State Park, a protected nature preserve famous for its pristine shoreline, wildlife sightings, shark tooth hunting, and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the Gulf Coast. Dolphins, manatees, and coastal birds are often spotted just offshore.

Back at the home, unwind in your private resort-style backyard designed for relaxation and wellness. Take a dip in the pool, relax in the 5-person infrared sauna, or reset with a cold plunge after a day in the sun.

For guests who love to stay active or explore the island, Sunset Beach Retreat delivers. Enjoy complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, and bicycles, challenge friends on the putting green, or take advantage of the optional 6-person golf cart rental to cruise the island, visit the beach, or explore local restaurants and live music spots with ease.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious, open layout designed for gathering and comfort, with room for everyone to relax after a day at the beach. With sleeping accommodations for groups, fast Wi-Fi, and all the comforts of home, this retreat is ideal for everything from laid-back beach days to active island adventures.

Enjoy nearby beachfront dining, local seafood favorites, and live music, or venture a short drive to Englewood, Venice, Boca Grande, and Sarasota for shopping, fishing charters, and memorable day trips.

Whether you’re escaping the cold, celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving time by the sea, Sunset Beach Retreat offers the ultimate Manasota Key experience — steps from the beach, rich in amenities, and designed for unforgettable stays.

  • Stump Pass State Park is a gem in Southwest Florida. There is a trail through the forested area of the park, but the best part is along the beach. Check the tides, when the tide is in, much of this area is covered with water, but when it's out, there is a spectacular, windswept, quiet beach to explore, complete with tons of shells and the trees and stumps that give this park its name. #BeachBound

Sunset Beach Vacation

The property was absolutely amazing! Beautiful house and setting! Wonderful amenities. It had everything a family needs for a beach vacation. Our grandchild loved the play area and the putting green. The host was extremely responsive and helpful.

Everything was perfect! You are so lucky to get to stay here, it was a blast! Beautiful home and great service. We road the bikes down to Englewood to compete in the Inflatable Invitational, and to Stump Pass State Park. We took the kayak to the beach. It was perfect to celebrate my son’s graduation from college as well as all the birthdays we had. We would love to stay here again, we used everything, the sauna, pool, playground, golf, kayaks. I didn’t have time to try out the paddle boards, maybe next time. They have everything you need, coolers, shampoo and soap, it’s all been thought of. The only thing I couldn’t find was a hand mixer but it wasn’t a problem my daughter brought hers. Thank you for the memories Katie!

Amazing spring break long weekend stay.

Our stay at this house was nothing short of amazing. The condition was impeccable, and the appliances were top-notch, equipped with everything we needed to cook delicious meals. Even on cool spring nights, my kids couldn’t resist the warm pool.The location was perfect. It was close enough to town to experience the small island ambiance, yet it felt like we were right next to the ocean. We took advantage of the optional golf cart rental, which was an absolute must-do. It allowed us to conveniently run from home to town for dinner, lunch, and even to the beach.One of the best things about this house was the inclusion of many activities and amenities that weren’t even listed on the seller’s website. The communication with the owners was top-notch, and they were an incredibly friendly couple. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a luxurious and enjoyable vacation.

Last Spring Break with our HS Senior

My wife and I took our 18 year old daughter away for spring break and we were joined by good friends and their 16 year old daughter.The Retreat was quite a treat. Everything was very thoughtfully decorated, immensely equipped, and we lacked for nothing.We all had a great time enjoying the island from this amazing property. The professional listing pictures are beautiful but don't fear that they are hiding anything by having them professionally taken. It is even better than photos can capture.Two big things we think the owners can add to the listing offerings are:1) The smart TVs in every room allow for pairing of gaming controllers and streaming of games without the need for a console. Great for a relaxing evening wind-down or if the weather isn't conducive to collecting rays.2) A short kayak trip can take explorers to dolphin encounters in the Bay just behind the retreat. We saw 7 total different dolphins on a single paddle and they were swimming around and under us.The value of the golf cart can not be overstated either. It was the perfect conveyance to everything on the island without having to use our personal vehicles. That allowed us to stay in vacation mode.The property was extremely clean and fresh from floor to ceiling.We definitely hope to return and enjoy more of Katie's hospitality in the future.The Retreat

Beautiful, FULLY STOCKED house and property. This was a great house for two families of four! The kids loved the bunk room and adults apprecaited the comfy king bedrooms on the other side of the house. The kitchen had everything we needed and all the odds and ends for a beach day were also available (towels, buggies, beach chairs, a cooler, floats, etc.) The beach was in walking distance, but we had probably more fun in the backyard enjoying the pool, ninja-style playground, fire place, and cold plunge! Definitely reccomend for families with younger kids :)
