Beachfront Cottage, Best location on Manasota Key, Sleeps 4, Kayaks and Wi-Fi

Updated and charming cottage RIGHT ON THE BEACH where you can sunbathe, swim, snorkel, collect shells and sharks' teeth, and fish. Spectacular 180 degree exposure to the Gulf of Mexico. Turtles and Toes is a peaceful and relaxing refuge that will refresh your mind and soul.
Sleep and wake to the soothing sounds of the surf. Walk or jog the16 miles of the sandy key. Be endlessly entertained by shore birds, pelicans, dolphins, turtles and tortoises, all right at your doorstep. Go shell or sharks' teeth hunting or kayaking, fly a kite, fish, or just chill out and be mesmerized by the emerald water. And you'll be amazed by the gorgeous sunsets followed by a star show that dips all the way into the sea.
You'll find a wall-mounted 52" flat screen TV, a bedroom TV, Blu-ray players, Sonos, Wi-Fi, and a sleek, well-supplied kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful walnut island. The large deck has a bistro table and chairs. There are many chairs and umbrellas for the beach.
With health safety in mind, you may check in and check out independently, letting us know when you do each. Of course we are available if needed!
We have very high cleanliness standards, disinfecting everything with the appropriate products. The bed coverings and towels are washed in high temperature water.
We call this little hideaway "Turtles and Toes." It is over the North Key drawbridge to Manasota Key and down a private lane. Isolated, yet it is near shopping, 15 golf courses, restaurants, and the many amenities and events that Venice and Englewood have to offer.
Airports: Punta Gorda--48 mi., Sarasota--37 mi., Ft. Meyers--77 mi., St. Petersburg--78 mi., Tampa--85 mi.

Tranquil Pre-Christmas Escape
What an amazing cottage! It is exactly as described. Outside pictures depict an older small cottage but the inside has been updated and is very cozy. There are other houses and cottages around it but everything makes it feel as if you have the beach completely to yourself. There aren't any high rises or public beach accesses so it's definitely not crowded and loud. We were there the week leading up to Christmas so I'm not sure if that was a factor. Upon stepping out on the porch, you feel you are on the beach...you couldn't be any closer. The sunsets are spectacular and you don't have to leave the premises! This is advertised as sleeping 4 but be aware that is 2 queens in the 1 bedroom so I would recommend this as a couple get away or a family with 2 small children or even a solo traveler wanting some tranquil time. It was the perfect location for us!

We really enjoyed our stay at Turtles and Toes! It's a nice cottage in a prime, quiet location. The owners clearly care about the quality of your stay and it shows. The cottage itself is cozy and was perfect for the two of us. The finishes have been updated nicely. We will definitely stay there again!

A perfect location for us to visit family and unplug next to the Gulf. Collecting shells and shark teeth was a plus. Wonderful opportunities for photos.The location is amazing. Donna is a terrific host. We hope to see the tortoise on the next visit!

If we could give this more than 5 stars, we absolutely would!
While you would think, driving in, that you won't have privacy, you would be wrong. This is the most amazing piece of paradise we have ever stayed at. Before we even got to the front door, we were entranced by the view! The cottage is so cozy and welcoming and absolutely PERFECT! Almost anything you would need for a perfect beach trip is in this place somewhere. For our first Gulf of Mexico vacation-- we couldn't ask for a more perfect place. Each morning, we walked the short way to the beach and each morning there were more and more markers for turtle nests! We saw birds, a stingray, and A MANATEE SWAM UP TO US! (Admittedly we freaked out at first, but a manatee!!!) We watched dolphins at sundown one evening, and so many lizards! I'll admit, my wife cried when it was time to go. I cannot recommend Turtle and Toes enough, and I certainly can't wait to go back!
