Beautiful Beach Resort on Manasota Key
Our family friendly resort consists of six apartments, all with two bedrooms except for one which has one bedroom. There are three apartments downstairs and three upstairs (only a dozen steps).
The gulf front apartments are larger than the rest and they have a breathtaking view of the beach. All apartments have great views from the living area, kitchen, master bedroom, and even from the bathroom.
Every apartment has a queen size bed in the master (except #4 which has a king) and two single beds in the other bedroom. Each apartment comes with a full size kitchen, including a microwave, coffeemaker, and toaster. All linens, dishes, pots, and other necessities are provided for you. All you need is a beach towel, your bathing suit, some sunscreen, and just enjoy the water and the sun.
As you step on the sand, time stands still. Dolphins leap in the air while blue herons, egrets, and sandpipers mingle close by, loggerhead turtles come ashore to lay eggs, and baby turtles scurry from the nest to the water.
The gulf is mostly calm, safe, clear, and yields many treasures: sand-dollars, seahorses, and all kinds of small tropical fish. As you stroll on the beach you will find lots of prehistoric sharks' teeth and an amazing variety of seashells.
Manasota Key is a barrier island: unspoiled, pristine, breathtaking. It has no traffic lights, only a two lane road separating beautiful white sand beaches and Lemon Bay. There is easy access from Englewood to the island with two toll free bridges. The Island House sits on a wide stretch of private beach and provides the perfect place to rest comfortably at the end of a fun filled day.
“This was the best vacation spot we have been to in years. We came back to the Island House many time during year!.”
