Located 2 blocks from beautiful historical downtown Dearborn Street, on a canal directly-connected to the intercoastal, with access to the gulf via the Tom Adams Bridge. It's hard to beat a day at the beach, and on Florida's Gulf Coast, there's nothing like Manasota Key, an 11-mile barrier island located in lovely Englewood Florida, where you can enjoy some of the best activities in the sun and sa
nd. Discover shells and shark teeth in the sand, participate in water sports, or take a wild island hike! The vacation of your dreams is awaiting you on Manasota Key, a slow-paced island that is pristine and unknown, with plenty of beaches and fresh salty air to go around. You know you're in a special place when you see a state park occupying the southern end of a barrier island; Stump Pass Beach State Park covers 245 acres at the tip of Manasota Key and provides access to beautifully pristine beaches on Lemon Bay and the Gulf Coast, with legendary Englewood Beach being right there on the way. And don't forget to catch a breathtaking Manasota sunset, the highlight of the Gulf Coast of Florida - make sure to plan your evenings around it! Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the orange sky and have leisurely conversations with your loved ones. Manasota Key is conveniently located south of Sarasota and Venice, making it a great destination between Tampa and Fort Myers. If you're flying in, consider Sarasota (SRQ, 40-minute drive) or Fort Myers (RSW, 60-minute drive) as your nearest larger airports. However, Boca Grande, Tampa and Orlando are also options, with Tampa being a 90-minute drive and Orlando a 2.5-hour drive; close enough to squeeze in a day at Disney if you'd like! And with only a short bridge separating Manasota Key from the mainland, you'll have even more water experiences to enjoy on the calmer Lemon Bay. Our home is located right off the Intracoastal Waterway, so if you bring a boat, all of the gulf coast is at your disposal for fun, fishing, and Florida sun fun.
