About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Newly renovated Key to Life Beach House is your place to be on Manasota Key.

This newly renovated 2 queen bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home is a great home away from home for your next vacation. The tropical setting on the quiet south end of the Key makes for a great place to wind down from a stressful life. This private, fully furnished, tastefully decorated home is only 250 steps to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beach and has a peak a boo view of Lemon Bay. It truly is a perfect place for your next get away.

This home offers a beautiful kitchen with new cabinets, quartz countertop, and breakfast counter with an open floor plan dining and living room, 2 bedrooms, each with queen beds and their own bathrooms. The living room has queen size sleeper sofa.
With this home, you will be provided with many amenities to make you feel at home and help make your stay comfortable and memorable. Some of the amenities include a fully stocked kitchen with a Keurig coffee maker, 55' Smart TV in the living room, and free wireless internet access. It is also complete with a laundry room with complementary use of washer and dryer. New AC unit installed in Fall of 2023 to make the warm days more comfortable.
For the outdoor grilling enthusiast, there is a 5 burner gas grill on the screened in Lanai. We also have a tandem Kayak, life jackets, 4 Tommy Bahamas backpack beach chairs with coolers and a beach cart.

You will have a very short walk from the Key to Life Beach House to our deeded beach path for your beach walks, shelling, fishing or for hunting for prehistoric shark teeth. You may want to take a dip in the Gulf or just sit on the beach and watch for the dolphins and manatees to swim by. The beach is a great place to watch an amazing sunset in the evenings.

Stump Pass State Park is only a 2 block walk from the front door, where you will find hiking paths, kayak and paddle board rentals, and over a mile of undisturbed "old Florida" shoreline. It is a perfect place to fish or to launch a kayak or paddle board and a pristine beach that is one of the best kept secrets on the Gulf Coast.


After a day at the beach, you can come back and relax in your own screened in lanai with comfortable patio furniture and plenty of play space for spreading out. Here you can enjoy some good conversation or just relish the evening air and
the peace and tranquility that Manasota Key offers.

If you're in the mood for an evening out, simply call for a free shuttle to take you to the local restaurants on the key. The Lock 'N Key, The SandBar Tiki Grille, The Waverly and Magnolias on the bay are all located on the island and offer great food in a family friendly atmosphere, some with live music most evenings. When you are through with your meal, the shuttle will bring you back home. There are free beach yoga classes every morning on Englewood Beach. The Key has gift shops, fresh sea food market, as well as a local convenience store. If you are in the mood to rent a pleasure boat, jet skis or or take a fishing charter, several water sport rental option are available on the Key.

Drive off the Key and you will find several grocery stores, countless eating choices and a Walmart within few minutes drive. The artistic city of Englewood is full of wonderful shops and offers a unique shopping experience.

Floor lay out was different than normal, with 2 bathrooms in the master bedroom, but we figured it out so both couples had privacy and their own bathroom. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. They even had some spices for us to use. Very pleased with location and house, definitely would rent again.

Lovely Beach House, Lovely Hosts

Our family booked a last minute beach getaway before school started back up and this little house was perfect! The property is well cared for, with many updates, including all new appliances, since the hurricane. The host was amazing and the home had all we needed and then some. With the beach steps away, we spent most of our days in the sand and on the water. While the island is still recovering with many properties under repair it is still the beautiful, friendly, laid back place we love. Thank you for the memories!

Key to Life Beach House was amazing! The pictures online do not reflect the beautiful renovations that have been made. The house was well stocked with everything we could possibly need or want. It was very close to a wooden boardwalk for easy beach access. Even though Stump Pass State Park has not reopened from the last hurricane we were close enough to walk down the beach to the end of the key which was so peaceful. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Shark tooth adventure!

The home has been beautifully renovated, the pictures do not do it justice! Manatosa Key is obviously still recovering from Hurricanes Milton and Helene but people should not let this stop them from visiting! Perfect beach house if you’re wanting to stay at the beach. Literally steps from the beach. Our kids, and the adults, spent hours collecting shark teeth and playing at the beach! Definitely will be back!

Great place to enjoy your vacation.

Very nice house with great access to the beach. House is very clean with lots of toys for the beach as well as bicycles to ride. Enjoyed all the fun things to do on the Key as well as in Englewood and surrounding area. Very good restaurants and shopping close by. We were lucky to be able to see Manatees every morning at a fishing dock at Blind Pass Beach just up the road. Overall, a great time.

Awesome little place

Our stay was great - short walk to the beach. Wanna B Inn was closed due to construction so beach was very quiet and private. We did want to use the bikes but tires were flat and when we went to use the pump noticed one of the tires was completely blown so we walked but that was not a big deal for us. Overall a great little place to stay.
