About the Property
Enjoy our private single family 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. Fully renovated and 150 steps to the Gulf of Mexico. Great for sun worshipers and fisherman alike. An easy stroll to the second largest estuary in Florida awaits you and we have free kayaks to enjoy both. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! Fully renovated, including new furnishings, stainless steel appliances, and the best stocked home on the Key. Best shelling around or you can swim, fish, boat, or make it a “Lazy Day” and just read in the hammock. The best location on the Key! We are between the public beach (.6 miles) and Stump Pass State Park (1.2 miles) on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. For those not familiar with the island, property to the north of the public beach is a rocky coastline while property on the bay side means dragging your belongings across a busy road. Stumpy’s “free ride” has a stop at our home and will take you any where on the island for a tip. You just can’t get any better than that.
Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit. We’re not kidding, we have it all

If they want to run with the wildlife, take them on a stroll to Stump Pass State Park.

Owner Info
Linda Ulmer
Year Purchased: 2018
About the owner: Hello and welcome from Linda and Dan Ulmer. We have been looking for the dream home we could share and, after three years of vacationing on Manasota Key, we found our gem. We previously owned property in the Florida Keys and Dan had a large property management company so we are sure you will find us helpful and available 24 hours a day. We live in Cape Coral so we’re close. We still use our home when not rented so you will find it clean, comfortable and, most of all, friendly.
When searching for our home and living in the Florida Keys, we new we didn't want to be "stuck" on an island. Manasota is perfect. Shopping is close, wildlife is amazing and most of all we have beautiful water and the island abounds with shells and tropical surroundings. Our home was built in the 50's and totally reconstructed in 2017. It's wonderful to have the charm of an old Florida home while taking the worries out of problems created by age. We know it is essential to have two bathrooms and outside enclosed shower with outside living area.
Thru our own rental experiences we know the added expense of kayaks, bikes, float devises, balls, books, games, and the list goes on. We have it handled for you. Trust us, you will love it. We certainly do!
