About this house rental

Get ready for the vacation of a lifetime at this extraordinarily unique beachfront home on Manasota Key! Offering a front-row seat for spectacular sunsets, this property blends privacy with breathtaking, show-stopping views of the Gulf! Nestled behind a private, oak-filled yard, the real magic reveals itself once you ascend to the decks: an unbelievable panorama of turquoise waters and endless horizon.

Two Residences, One Unforgettable Experience

Designed for privacy and comfort, this rental features two unique residences, making it perfect for families or groups who cherish togetherness but appreciate personal space. Both the main home and the entirely separate guest suite exude coastal charm, featuring open-beamed peaked ceilings and a mix of warm hardwood and tile flooring.

Main Home Highlights:
Coastal Living: A spacious great room flooded with natural light and beauty from the outdoors.

Chef’s Kitchen: Enjoy a nicely styled kitchen equipped with whitewashed wood cabinets, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash—perfect for preparing seaside meals.

Master Retreat: The master suite offers easy access to the deck through triple sliders, plus a bathroom with double sinks and plenty of counter space.
Outdoor Extension: A massive 24x10 screened lanai with wood flooring and vinyl windows extends your living area, letting you enjoy the breeze in any weather.

Private Guest Suite:
Your guests will feel right at home in the entirely separate guest suite. Equipped with its own private bathroom and living room, it offers unmatched views through multiple sliding glass doors. It’s a sanctuary within a sanctuary.

Outdoor Living at Its Best
Life here revolves around the outdoors.
Expansive Decks: An oversized deck space connects the residences, offering an infinite amount of room to relax, sunbathe, or dine al fresco.
Under-Home Swing: Find a quiet moment on the swing underneath the stilted home, watching the waves roll in.

Direct Beach Access: Spend your mornings walking along the private beach or splashing in the blue-green waters.

Detached Garage: An oversized detached garage provides ample storage for your car and beach gear.

End every day with a glass of wine on the deck, waiting for the coveted "green flash" as the sun dips below the horizon. You are just moments away from the quiet charm of Manasota Key, the neighbor to Venice and Sarasota. Explore local restaurants, enjoy exciting nightlife, or simply keep an eye out for sea turtles coming ashore.

Stay in paradise, unwind, and embrace the private beach life. Book your stay today!

Beautiful location, had a great time and the property was everything we hoped for.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
My husband and I loved this house so much! The location was excellent, and the beach and views were absolutely amazing. We watched the sunset every night and saw dolphins and manatees almost every day.One of our favorite features was the deck surrounding the house. It was so nice to be able to sit outside anytime without dragging sand into the house. We also loved that we rarely had to turn on the air conditioning during the day. Opening all the doors allowed the beautiful gulf breeze to keep the house very comfortable, and hearing the sounds of the waves was incredibly relaxing.We have been renting houses on Manasota Key for over 30 years, and this was truly one of our favorites. We look forward to coming back!

Our Host, Andrew was prompt and very helpful taking care of an internet issue. The house is directly on the beach and is as described.

The property was perfect for us! Very unique architectural design and was equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked so we dined in twice. The houses are literally on the beach which was very convenient. Gorgeous views and we enjoyed sitting on the deck at night. The owner was very nice and helpful with my many questions. We would definitly stay here again.
