Pete & I both love the beach and all it has to offer! After lots of searching up and down the east and west coasts of Florida, we feel that we have discovered the best location for our beach retreats & bungalows in the quiet city of Englewood on Manasota Key. We have found our “little slice of paradise” and can’t wait to share it with you!
We are “living the dream” here on Manasota Key! Our days are filled...walks on the beach, shell & shark tooth hunting, swimming, friendly folks, watching the osprey, bike riding, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating with friends and watching some amazing sunsets. Everyday is an outdoor adventure day on Manasota Key!
Our north property was purchased in June 2016 and has 4 retreats. We have totally renovated inside & out. The best part about this property is the location to the beach...150 walking steps. We created a tropical oasis in the backyard with lush landscaping around 2 paver patios and our signature surfboard shower with hot & cold water.
Our south property was purchased in December 2016. We tackled renovations inside & out and were ready for our first guests in January 2017. The best part about this property is each retreat’s semi-private patio area that includes their own outdoor gas grill. For larger families or guests, we created a community area at the center of the property where they can gather to just relax, eat or hang out.
Beachcomber Bungalows is located between our south and north properties and was purchased in 2018. This location opened for guests in November 2019 after a year of extensive renovations. Each bungalow has its own semi-private outdoor area complete with outdoor seating and a gas grill.
Beachcomber of Manasota Key (Beachfront) is located directly on the beach! The best part about this gulf front location is the beautiful views of the water and wonderful sunsets.
Beachcomber Hideaways is located to the west of our Bungalows. Completely renovated inside & out, this property welcomed its first guests in February 2021. Set amid lush tropical plantings, the Hideaways are definitely “hidden away”!
Beachcomber Bayfront of Manasota Key is located on beautiful Lemon Bay. Enjoy your front row seat to each and every fantastic sunrise! This property was purchased in October of 2021 and has been hosting happy guests ever since.
Our Bayfront property also includes boat slips that can be rented when you book a stay at any of our properties. The slip rental includes electricity, ice, fish cleaning station w/running water, and trailer parking. Now you can bring your boat on vacation!
We have started our own property management company along the way to bring the “personal touch” to your vacation. From the moment you arrive at one of our retreats until the moment you leave, our goal is to ensure that you have the best possible vacation experience!
You will find yourself with wonderful memories that will make you want to return again and again!!!!
