Gulf Sunset Cottages
Charming and private, Gulf Sunset's two rental units are just a short walk from Stump Pass State Park and its nature trails and birdwatching opportunities. Located beachfront on Englewood Beach, Manasota Key, Florida, the cottage is reminiscent of vacations from a simpler time. Manasota Key has been spared the development of other barrier islands on the Gulf Coast, and remains largely natural and unspoiled. You can swim year round, and collect some of the thousands of shells and fossilized shark teeth the gulf deposits on the beach every morning. Surf fishing is good from the beach, and boating is close by at Lemon Bay. The cottage is divided into two units; the upstairs, Soul's Rest, has one bedroom and one bath, and gulf views from every room. Downstairs, Heart's Desire has two bedrooms, a den, and a deck on the beach. There is a shower on the beach side, and beach umbrellas, chairs and toys for guests to use, as well as a washer and dryer, wireless Internet, and carport space for four cars.
