About this house rental



Professionally designed and decorated home located just steps from the sand. Location, location, location! 1 min walk to the beach or 7 mins walk to restaurants, bars and shopping.

TWO master suites with king beds, bedroom with queen and twin beds, and another room with a queen bed and a twin XL trundle. Bathed in warm, tropical earth tones, this home features beautiful hardwood floors throughout the living areas and high-end custom tile bathrooms. The 'upside down' floor plan features four bedrooms on the entrance floor and a breathtaking top floor with 15-foot cathedral ceilings with a brightly lit cupola. Brand new stainless steel appliances. Beautiful quartz countertops. Three separate porch sitting areas stunning views. Additional shaded breezy seating and outdoor sitting on ground level.

This is widely regarded as the best street on the island, with nightly sunset gatherings with our full-time resident neighbors and other guests. You'll never want to leave! All are welcomed to join "Wednesdays on Wilhelm!" A beloved and well-known tradition on the island, all are welcome to BYOB and a favorite dish to share at this fun beach party - every Wednesday during the winter months. Grab you flip flops and beach chair and meet other guests and residents at sunset. Good vibes all around!

Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit. We’re not kidding, we have it all. Enjoy the most beautiful and undiscovered beach in Florida. We offer smart TV, high speed internet and 2 extra monitors for remote workers, along with plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home.

If you're wild about nature, you will love walking the serene and uncrowded beaches of Manasota Key. Our breathtaking beach is also popular with wildlife and ecotourists. It isn’t unusual to be joined by a heron on your walk, see a pelican fishing as you throw out your line, or perhaps you’ll come across a dolphin at play while kayaking the blue waters. Take a walk on the wild side and watch the sea turtle nests come alive with hatchlings May 1 to October 31.

Another fun amenity for the island is the "Stumpy Bus", a volunteer-run free shuttle in the form of a decorated 8-seat golf cart. Grab a cocktail and hop on board to most of the bars/restaurants on the island. They work for tips so bring some cash to share the love!

Finding fossilized sharks teeth is a favorite find of beach walkers and you will find many among the mounds of shells. Snorkel in the crystal clear water for sand dollars and everything tropical. Put up your umbrellas and spread out because there’s tons of room on our uncrowded beaches.

For all you fishing enthusiasts, the area is the second largest marine estuary in the state. You will find hundreds of species in our waters. Nearby Boca Grand is the official “Tarpon Capital of the World”. The area has dozens of boat ramps so bring your boat. We have plenty of room to park. (Local boat rentals are also available through local businesses.)

In addition to being renowned for its fishing, Boca Grande is widely regarded as the most exclusive coastal enclave in Florida and you'll marvel at the historic and famous Gasparilla Inn. Great shopping and restaurants. Take a 20 minute drive to a different world! Rent a golf cart while you're there and drive down Banyon Street, one of the most famous streets in Florida.

This beach home is beautiful and has great views of the beach! We are a party of 6-three couples-and had the best time making memories here! We loved walking the beach every morning after our coffee, looking for shark teeth and shells (found so many) then going back to make sandwiches and snacks before spending the afternoon on the beach. The home is within walking distance to some of our favorite restaurants where we had great meals and drinks nightly! We used Stumpys Free Ride for our commute back to the house a couple nights and walked the beach back on the other nights! The sunsets on the beach are top notch and we enjoyed them nightly!

This place was absolutely perfect! The views were spectacular! We enjoyed every second of our stay. The beach was the most beautiful beach I’ve seen in Florida and I originally from Tampa. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The only complaint I would have and really it’s just preference is that having TV’s in our rooms would have been nice. But again such a beautiful few days of being with family to build new memories after the loss of my son two years ago. This house and it’s serene view brought me joy and some much needed peace in my heart.
