We are very family friendly and tried to think of everything all ages would need at this house to build memories to last a lifetime.

Rated one of the Top Five VRBO rentals on Manasota Key for its size. You will not want to pass up a chance to enjoy all it has to offer both inside and outside of the house.

Welcome to Paradise!

Enjoy your get away at this spacious, well appointed home with updated furnishing, top of the line appliances, granite counter tops and cabinets throughout, situated just steps from Gulf of Mexico beaches.

Manasota Key, a quiet barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico is located just south of Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, and Casey Key. It is also just north of Fort Meyers and Sanibel Island. You can day trip to explore some of these other beaches and return to the comfort of your own home away from home each night.

The Sugar Shack has been recently updated with new flooring and furnishings. It comes complete with WIFI and high-speed internet, if you choose to stay "on the grid", however after a day or so in paradise, getting off-the-grid becomes much easier.

The Primary bathroom is finished with a granite counter top, ceramic tile floor, and combination tub shower. Guest bathroom has a granite counter top and a ceramic tile stall shower. There is also an outdoor shower to wash off your sandy feet.

All 3 bedrooms have over-sized closets and televisions for your enjoyment. The primary (upstairs) bedroom has a queen bed, the downstairs bedroom has a queen bed, and the bunk room has a full over full bunk bed with a twin pull put out trundle & an additional twin bed.

Imagine being located on Manasota Key and staying less than 150 yards from the beach!

Lounge in the sun or under the moonlight on the 2nd floor large deck, or enjoy some R&R on the large covered ground lanai spending your time on the porch swing or hammocks. Enjoy your meals under the lanai, the ceiling fans will help keep you cool as you take in all this property has to offer.

At night enjoy sitting by the propane fire as you make S'mores and talk about the memories you created at Manasota Key.

If the beach is more your thing, which we suspect it probably is, fill up the Sugar Shack's beach-wagon with the supply of beach toys for the kids, chairs and umbrella to enjoy the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We also provide 3 adult Kayaks, 4 kid kayaks, 4 paddle boards, and life jackets that you can be used during your stay (based on the condition from the previous guests).

If fishing is more up your alley use our poles (based on the condition from the previous guests) and fish from the beach, or from Lemon Bay. Both are under 150 short steps away from the Sugar Shack.

Shell & shark tooth hunting is a popular way to also pass the time on Manasota Key, you won't come home empty handed. You will find more shark teeth here than any other beach around us.

Cruise around the Island on one of the bikes or scooters that we provide. We offer lots of sizes of bikes and helmets so that your whole family can enjoy (based on the condition from the previous guests).

The Sugar Shack has all of the cooking utensils you need to make your favorite meals at your home away from home. There are several restaurants with live entertainment that are a short jaunt from the home (walking or bike riding distance for most). More than enough places to visit a new one every night during a weeks stay.

Golf, Jet Ski's, Charter Fishing, Snokeling, Dolphin Watching Tours, Parasailing, and Boat rentals are available on the Island, less than 5 minutes away. The Sugar Shack binder will have information on all of these activities to help you plan once you arrive.

Come experience why the Sugar Shack on Manasota Key is such a popular destination for our guests of all ages.

WONDERFUL place, it has everything you want or need for your stay in Florida. It's a great place to stay with children, younger or older. It is so convenient to the ocean or the bay! And the owners are very kind and were so helpful with our extremely late check in. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends, especially ones with large families! It was such a blessing to be here!

Sugar Shack was perfect for our family. Easy walk to the beach and had absolutely everything you could need. We felt at home and will definitely stay here again. The host were great. This house made our trip a breeze

We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely return. The location is the standout — roughly 100 steps to the water, which puts it closer to the beach than most beach locations we've stayed. The house was stocked with everything you need for a beach day: boogie boards, kayaks, paddle boards, chairs, and wagons to haul it all down. Food options nearby made logistics easy. The hosts were responsive throughout and made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend for families. A

Our stay at sugarshack was amazing!! The home has everything you need and then some. It is beautifully decorated and the location is perfect. We were steps from the beach and the bay. We had a wonderful time inside and outside of the home with so many areas to hangout and relax. We will definitely be back to this wonderful home!!
