BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, Sunset on the Beach, Sunrise on the Dock.
Experience the pinnacle of Florida living where every coastal craving is met. Located a mere 120 steps from the sand, this property offers a front-row seat to the Gulf’s turquoise waters. Start your morning hunting for prehistoric sharks’ teeth on the beach or take a short, scenic stroll to the world-famous Stump Pass State Park to immerse yourself in untouched wildlife and pristine trails.
Beyond the beach, your lifestyle expands to the water’s edge with access to a private community dock—perfect for an afternoon of fishing or launching your next adventure. When the sun begins to set, leave the car behind. You are within easy walking distance of vibrant shops, waterfront restaurants, and the soul of the island’s live music scene. Whether you’re casting a line into the Gulf or dancing the night away, this is more than a home—it’s an all-access pass to paradise.
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 fenced back yard with a hammock, fire pit and grill. Take advantage of our outside shower with hot and cold water. Seahorse Cottage is one of the few homes with access to a semi-private dock on Lemon Bay and 120' to the aqua waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Kick back, chill and grill. Spoil yourself with the complimentary bikes 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, and plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home.

Amazing location with beach and dock access for fishing! Kids had the best time and we were able to walk to everything we wanted to do. House had everything we needed and we were able to enjoy the fire pit and smores one night as well!
Property was clean and had everything we needed plus a few extras. Beach chairs and wagon were hugely appreciated! We met the owners and they were very nice, responsive and accomodating. Would love to stay there again.
We loved the property! It was very nice and clean. We love the Englewood area and would definitely stay here again. Just a short walk across the street to the beach makes it a great spot!
This was the perfect place for our family. So close to the beach and all the needed equipment for a relaxing day. Proximity is perfect so that if we did get too hot at the beach, just an easy quick walk back. And the gear helped us found TONS of shark teeth at the beach!
Close walk to beach. Fishing dock was Fantastic. Easy communication with owners. House was great. Great location! Restaurants close. Rented waverunners close by. Beach was not crowded at our area but plenty of people further down. Loved It!
The house was in the perfect location for food, beach and fun! The beach was very close and all that was needed was provided. It was the complete package. We are hoping to do it again soon if not the same time next year! Thanks for the great vacation!
Great house, decor and location. Just down for a few days looking around the area for a new location to come this winter or spring. Used to spend that time at FMB until Ian hit so looking for a new get away spot and this was a great find.
Amanda's Seahorse Cottage was sparkling clean, comfortable, and it provides everything you need inside and outside for a beach vacation. This trip was a return visit for my parents and my husband and I, and we'll definitely be back in the future. We love the house and the location!
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.
If you are looking for the activity of Daytona or Myrtle Beach, this is not the booking for you. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet "Old Florida" charm and pace, this is the place to stay. Quiet beach right across the street. great restaurants and bars within walking distance of house - yet far enough not to be bothered by noise. Bungalow has everything you need for a nice beach stay. Spent the weekend with family before son deployed to Kuwait. Thanks for such a wonderful memory.
Love the place, newly renovated love the decor perfect for the 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
It is a nice, well maintained and beautifull furnished house on the great Manasota Key. It has everything you need for a nice beach vacation.If we come back to Florida, we would stay here again.
Even though it rained almost the whole time the beach was still beautiful and calming. Check in and out was effortless and nothing can be better than an outdoor hot shower under the stars!!! We’ll definitely return!!
Such a amazing week ... great location. The house is perfect for a family. House had eveething we needed. Found some awesome shells. A vacation to remember
Beautiful vacation home with all the amenities. Just a block from the beach and what a relaxed vibe for our stay. Everything we needed was provided and having the beach wagon, chairs, and noodles to float made the experience that much better. Easy to find, check in was a breeze, very clean, comfortable bed, and every time we turned around we discovered something else we loved. Stump Pass was amazing and this location was great for shelling and finding sharks teeth. We will be back.
We stayed with our two kids, under 5, and enjoyed the property. We loved the proximity to the beach, loved the beach amenities the homeowners left us to use, and the closeness to restaurants and some beach shops. The house was well equipped with the things we needed to cook, entertain, and relax. It's nice to see the area rebuilding after the hurricanes last fall. House was clean and well kept! We would stay again.
This was our second time at this location and fourth year at one of Dan & Linda’s properties. 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.
