Semi-private fishing dock, free bikes Location, location, location just 2 blocks to restaurants where you can enjoy food, drinks, and great live music. Enjoy the entire island on our complimentary bikes while you enjoy our PRIVATE SINGLE FAMILY HOME with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a lanai for ultra enjoyment. If you like privacy, enjoy our beach with a hammock, fire pit and FENCED PRIVATE BACK YARD. Take advantage of our outside shower with hot and cold water. Our home is 120 steps to the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico; plus, we are one of the few homes with access to a semi-private dock on Lemon Bay where you can fish, enjoy the sunrise and admire nature at it's best. Great for sun worshipers and fisherman alike. Where else can you relish both the sunrise and the renouned Florida sunsets and only steps away. Manasota Key is the second largest estuary in Florida. Enjoy the island with the bikes and kayaks provided for your pleasure. Watch the sunrise on Lemon Bay and the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. Our home is fully renovated including new furnishings, appliances and the best stocked home on the Key. We are between the public beach (.1 mile) and Stump Pass State Park (.5 miles). Kick back, chill out and grill. Spoil yourself with the complimentary bickes and all the beach toys you will need. Enjoy the most beautiful and undiscovered isle in Florida. We are dog friendly and your fur babies have a fenced yard for their protection. There are big screen smart T.V.'s in every room, high speed internet, Netflix and plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home. If you are wild about nature, you will love the stroll to Stump Pass Park. There are 265 acres of sandy trails, boating and miles of pristine beaches. The wildlife is amazing. Artists and sun worshippers aren't the only species drawn to our little island. Our breathtaking beach is also popular with fisherman 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 dolphins at play. Take a walk on the wild side and watch the sea turtle nests come alive with hatchlings May 1 to October 31. Our key is famous for shelling and finding fossilized sharks teeth as you walk the newly renourished beach. Snorkel in the clear water for sand dollars and everything tropical. Put up our umbrella because there's lots of room. We're just far enough from the public beach that you can enjoy the sunsets undisturbed. For all you fishing enthusiasts, the area is the second largest marine estuary in the state. You will find several species in our waters. Boat to nereby Boca Grand the "Tarpon Capital of the World". The area has several boat ramps so bring your boat. We have plenty of room to park or just fish from the private dock. Kick back, chill out and grill. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Visual alarms in hallways - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Tennis - Water park - Water sports equipment - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling - Unit size: 1,200 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23620000/23612100/23612011/w1293h1002x3y6-18c3366a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 120 steps to beach!

AC was cold for 75 degrees, loved the outdoor shower coming from the beach. Also I was surprised how comfortable the beds were, took care of our aches and pains of the day. My comment is the TV. It’s streaming and could not figure it out on how to get local channels so we didn’t see much news while there, maybe some instructions would be nice. This comment however does not take away from my overall review as we are there for the beach anyway. Will book again ##### Ada H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy L.

It is close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and public beach where morning yoga takes place daily. We did have a glitch at check-in but were able to reach Linda through VRBO. Suggestions: -getting bikes serviced as one of the bike spokes was broken, making it unusable, leaving only one bike. - Would be good to know where to purchase wood for the fire pit or provide it. -In binder at property, list suggested areas to put kayaks in the water.

Jun 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amanda’s Seahorse Cottage Amanda’s seahorse cottage was everything the description said it would be. If anything I would say the description pictures did not do it justice. The location was great, the property was clean, it was a very short walk across the street to the beach and the added use of the dock for sunrise was great. On the down side, we could not use the kitchen to cook meals the way we had intended. There was a major problem with roaches, especially at night. Instead of cooking the groceries we bought we ended up eating out at almost every meal. This was nice to some degree but also very expensive. When we notified the owners about the infestation of roaches they were quick to respond but the local bug company could not make it out to spray the house. They did however offer an apology for our inconvenience. They stated the house had been sprayed a week prior. We ended up going to a hardware store and buying bug spray to spray it ourselves. I believe once the bug problem is handled this will be a great choice for anyone visiting Manasota Key! ##### Robert A. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth J.

Everything was clean and to be expected! We had just enough amenities and perfect access to our local favorites (beach, walking paths, restaurants). Manasota Key is a hidden gem and we’re eager to see it back on its feet from last year’s storms. Grateful for an amazing stay. ##### Elizabeth J.

The house is very well decorated and had everything we needed for the week. There are so many restaurants and shopping in close vicinity. The beach is just a short walk across the street, and never felt overcrowded. Beach chairs and an umbrella are provided, along with any toys if traveling with children. I would recommend beach shoes as there are a lot of broken shells along the shoreline. During our stay we saw both dolphins and 2 manatees close to the beach. If i get a chance to bring mom to Florida again, i would definitely stay her again. ##### Debra K. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom K.

If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet "Old Florida" charm and pace, this is the place to stay.

Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location snd property The property was better than advertised. Perfect location in a quaint little beach town. The owners were great. In fact they mailed us our rapid charger that we accidentally left in the bedroom. Only negative was that the master bed was softer than I prefer. ##### Bryan G. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LORA S.
