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.

Great secluded property
Just what we were looking for to get away from all the hustle. Very private house loaded directly on the beach, beautiful sunsets. This is our second time stating here which means we like a bunch. Everything we need to getaway and relax.

Cute Cottage with an Ocean View!!
If you are looking for a place to recharge and relax this is the place for you. Just spent 7 days at Turtles and Toes located on Manasota Key right on the beach. Incredible view from the deck where we spent a lot of time reading and enjoying the view of the water. Very peaceful and quiet area. Cottage has been remodeled and comes with everything to make your stay enjoyable. Stores, restaurants and shopping are near by. Donna, the owner lives near by and is willing to help if need be. We had a wonderful time and will be back!

A perfect week
We loved our stay at Turtles and Toes! It was cozy, comfortable, steps away from the beach, and close to great restaurants. Joe and Donna made it feel like a home away from home. Thank you!

Great oceanfront getaway
This is our third visit with a fourth planned in early 2025. This rental is very clean and has all the amenities you will need for a relaxing get away. The location is great too. The beach is just steps away from the deck and the sunsets are wonderful. There are plenty of good restaurants just a short drive away too. The owners are communicative and responsive.

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!
