Manasota Beach Cottages

Painted in cheerful, bright colors, our cottages are just steps from the world-famous Manasota Key Beach, featuring restrooms, lifeguards, and miles of pristine sandy shoreline. Manasota Beach is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets, abundant seabirds, playful dolphins, seasonal sea turtle hatchings, and one of the highest concentrations of shark teeth in the United States.

Right next to the cottages, you’ll find a convenient boat and kayak launch on the Lemon Bay Intracoastal Waterway—perfect for fishing and paddling enthusiasts. It’s common to spot dolphins and manatees swimming alongside your kayak. For those who enjoy biking, Manasota Key offers more than 15 miles of scenic roadway, much of it shaded by large native trees.

Our location is just minutes from downtown Venice, home to award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, and a lively weekend farmers market. A short drive north brings you to Sarasota, where you can explore mangrove tunnels by kayak, stroll the iconic St. Armands Circle with its many shops and restaurants, or visit the renowned Ringling Museum and historic mansion.

With so many attractions and activities nearby, there’s truly something for everyone. If you’re looking for something specific, simply ask your hosts—they’ll be happy to offer personalized recommendations. Few destinations combine natural beauty, privacy, modern amenities, and endless activities at such an affordable value. Come unwind and enjoy your stay at Manasota Beach Cottages.

For the enjoyment of all guests, this is a no smoking and no pet property.
