About this house rental
Escape to By the Seaside, a beautifully appointed luxury coastal home on Manasota Key, one of Southwest Florida`s most desirable barrier islands. With over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this spacious retreat offers the perfect setting for family vacations, couples traveling together, and unforgettable beach getaways.
Located directly across the street from private deeded Gulf beach access, you`ll spend your days swimming in crystal-clear waters, collecting the area`s famous prehistoric shark teeth, shelling along miles of sandy shoreline, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply relaxing under the Florida sun.
Just a short walk from the home, you`ll also enjoy private Lemon Bay dock access at the end of Sandpiper Drive. Guests are welcome to fish from the dock, launch their own kayaks or paddleboards (not provided), or use it for temporary boat loading and unloading. It`s the perfect complement to the home`s Gulf beach access, allowing you to experience both sides of Manasota Key`s unique waterfront lifestyle. (Overnight docking and parking at the dock are not permitted.)
Inside, you`ll find spacious open-concept living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, multiple Roku Smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and comfortable furnishings designed for both entertaining and relaxation. The home`s flexible floor plan includes a private ground-floor guest suite with an ensuite bathroom, making it ideal for extended families or guests seeking additional privacy. The lower-level recreation area provides even more space to gather after a day at the beach.
Outdoor living is just as inviting, with multiple covered patios, an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach, and a BBQ grill perfect for outdoor dining.
One of the best parts of staying on Manasota Key is exploring everything the island has to offer. Take advantage of Stumpy`s Free Ride Golf Cart Taxi (tips appreciated), offering complimentary transportation to many of the island`s popular waterfront restaurants, beach bars, live music venues, and local attractions on the south end of Manasota Key.
Beyond the island, you`ll be just minutes from Englewood Beach, Blind Pass Beach, Stump Pass Beach State Park, Boca Grande, Historic Dearborn Street, Lemon Bay Park, championship golf courses, marinas, fishing charters, kayaking, paddleboarding, boutique shopping, and waterfront dining.
