About this house rental
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.

Loved this place! We had everything we needed! The host has thought of everything. We loved the bikes and kayaks (and I appreciated the helmets and life jackets). We took the kayaks on the intercoastal one day and had a dolphin come up right next to us. It was easy to walk or ride bikes to the beach. Property was very clean.

Beautifully thought out and decorated. Fantastic for crawling babies and a toddler, very clean and set up for three groups (grandparents and two daughters with their families) the host even bought a second playpen for us and had it on site. The keyless entry and golf cart was very practical since parking can give you that “tiny space edge” over your car. Walking to the Biat House (1/2 a block!) was a pleasant surprise as it’s delicious and not crazy crowded with activities to keep littles busy and a great view. We enjoyed the hot days in the pool and cool evenings with plenty of propane with the fire pit. We’ve come to this area for years with different family/friend configurations so I think I’m a good review to consider if you’re looking for a fantastic location for a group, very clean, and perfect especially when sharing a house for a week extended family!

This house was AMAZING and so was Katie!!! My husband and I stayed there for 5 nights and our daughter stayed for one night. We stayed at a different place 6 weeks prior as Sunset Beach Retreat was booked. Booked a last minute trip to escape the cold and it was available. So glad it was available because we found our home away from home for future escapes! House is bigger than what the pictures show and the pictures are accurate. We don’t have small kids, but the house is great for someone that does. We spent everyday at Stump Pass which is less than a 10 minute walk. We loved the kayaks, paddle board and the sauna. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Everything was very clean. The house is on a very quiet street and I think we saw less than 10 cars go by during our stay. You could hear the ocean while relaxing in the heated pool. We didn’t want to leave! I know I already said this, but Katie was amazing! Checked in daily, gave recommendations and was extremely helpful with our last minute trip. Would book again and will be booking again as long as it’s available! Everything about it was 10 out of 10!
