About this house rental

LaySea 8 is an octagonal house with a spectacular 360 degree view of the Gulf of Mexico, Nature Preserve and Pine Island Sound. Located on the last street on the island across from the Nature Preserve and just a short walk to the nicest beach on the island. House has been recently updated and has everything you need to relax and escape to paradise! The house has a huge screened-in wraparound porch on the main level that offers areas to dine, nap, read or have an intimate conversation. On the main level is the kitchen, dining room and living room....each with a big slider to the porch. Two bedrooms (both have king beds) are on this level along with 2 baths. The upper level is a beautiful octagon shaped room with a futon for extra sleeping. From there, go up to the Crow's Nest for beautiful 360 degree views of the island. Watch the sunrise over Pine Island Sound and catch the most spectacular sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. Get around the island using the provided golf cart.

We’ve been using short term rentals for years and this was one of the best! The arrival was very smooth and the property manager Raj and his partner Jackie were great, very friendly and responsive though out our stay. The house was super clean and had everything you could possibly need including a large smart tv. The crows nest was fantastic with 360 degree views of stars at night. And only 4 min walk to the main beach.Recommended highly

Panama Shell Drive one of the best locations on the Island, next to the nature reserve and short walk to the beach (past John Thain’s enormous house).
