Private beach on the Gulf. A community dock with bay access. PLEASE NOTE; THE ASSOCIATION HAS CLOSED THE POOL FOR JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, AND POTENTIALLY SEPTEMBER TO PERFORM NEEDED REPAIRS. This bayside condo provides you with everything you need for the best, most relaxing vacation ever.

The unit is a second-floor 2-bedroom condo located in a very quiet, well-maintained, beautifully landscaped, 30-unit condo complex on Manasota Key within walking distance to Englewood Beach.

Our unit includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and spacious living room. Bedrooms consist of a king bed (serta perfect sleeper -the only official mattress of the national sleep foundation engineered to help solve 5 common sleep problems) in the primary bedroom, 2 twin beds in the secondary bedroom (mattresses replaced 12/2021), and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Our condo has plentiful towels for the beach and bath, beach chairs, and other amenities to make your vacation as comfortable as possible.

We do our very best to decorate and maintain everything in clean, working order as this is a vacation destination for friends as well. We use what you use so the towels, cutlery, and place settings are all kept fresh and purchased specifically for the unit vs. hand-me-downs brought from home. For entertainment, there is basic cable, Netflix and Roku on a 50" LED TV with high speed internet so you can enjoy some evening couch time or have options to keep the kids entertained so you can relax on the screened-in balcony. Our friends live here too so we understand your needs.

There are also great restaurants, bars, and shops all within a 5-10 minute walk.

About the owner: Our family loves Manasota Key and hunting for shark teeth on the beach. We bought this condo on the bayside to compliment the one we have on the gulf. The bayside seems to have a unique "chill" feeling that just lulls you into the whole laid-back feeling you get in Englewood. We love the fact you are within walking distance to great bars and restaurants frequented by the locals. And the short walk to a private section of the beach makes this condo very special.
