THE BAREFOOT BUNGALOW

Open your front door to find a beautiful white sand beach  with warm, gulf coast waters waiting for you. Sunsets are unbelievable!

This unique property has access to gulf coast beaches on one side and placid bay water on the other. Enjoy your day on the bay side with manatees and dolphins often joining you.  The bay side offers you fishing, kayaking, swimming in the heated pool and free dock slips. Spend evenings on the beach side experiencing the world-class sunsets! Manasota Key sunsets are truly events worth planning your day around.

The Barefoot Bungalow is in easy walking distance to great beachfront restaurants with live music most every night. Yet, you are far enough away to enjoy tranquility hearing nothing but the sound of waves.  

THE OCEANVIEW OASIS

The next-door neighbor to The Barefoot Bungalow is the Oceanview Oasis. It has the same beautiful white sand beach with warm, gulf coast waters waiting for you. 

 Because of the unique access to both the beach on one side and placid bay water on the other, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. You can have sand in your toes by just opening the front door! Sunsets on Manasota Key are truly an event to plan around as you collect our famous seashells and sharks' teeth.  

Walk to great beachfront restaurants with live music most every night or take the free shuttle. While at home, revel in tranquility with nothing but the sound of waves while you sit in your rocking chair. 

THE POOLSIDE PARADISE

This golf course home's view is both beautiful and peaceful!  The extra large lanai provides a perfect place for bird watching and stunning sunsets.

The Poolside Paradise has been fully updated inside and out!  It boasts a spacious, open floor plan with a wall of windows to enjoy the view of the The Hills golf course in your backyard.  The new pool deck and lanai provide space for both sun and shade to enjoy your days.

Minutes away from multiple white sand beaches and surrounded by seven golf courses ensures a dream vacation for everyone. Come soak up the sun and enjoy the best of Florida living!

THE CADDYSHACK

A spectacular view can be enjoyed while lounging at The Caddyshack. Relax on your lounger while watching wildlife and golfers on The Hills, one of seven golf courses in the area. 

Enjoy the extra large lanai that includes a bar area, a heated swimming pool and even a swim-up bar! The lanai provides a haven for sun or shade, depending on your preference.  

The Caddyshack has an open floor plan and is fully updated inside and out. Gulf coast beaches and state parks, famous for their sunsets, sea shells, sharks teeth and turtle nests, are just minutes away!
