About this property

Lazy Days beach cottage is a comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath home that is just 120 steps from the Gulf of Mexico. The home is well-stocked and ideally located between the public beach and Stump Pass State Park on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. Stumpy’s “free golf cart ride” stops at the home for island transportation.

"Tarpon Capital of the World". This area is the state's second largest marine estuary, species making it one of the best places to fish in Florida.

Discover the wonders of Stump Pass Park, where you can explore 265 acres of sandy trails, boating, and pristine beaches. Encounter diverse wildlife including herons, pelicans, and dolphins. Don't miss the sea turtle nests coming alive with hatchlings from May 1 to October 31.

Fossilized shark's teeth are a favorite find for beachcombers, and you'll find many among the shells. Snorkel in the clear water for sand dollars and tropical treasures. Set up your umbrella and enjoy peaceful sunsets undisturbed, away from the public beach.

Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit and we supply the fun:
*Smart T.V.’s in every room
*High speed internet
*Beach Cruisers
*Kayaks
*Hammock
*Outdoor Fire Pit
*BBQ

Lazy Days

We would stay here again! It is important to note that there is a short walk down the road to the beach. We are used to staying at beachfront properties, and it was no trouble at all to walk to the beach and enjoy our coffee. We were very worried about all the private property signs on the beach based on reviews we read. We had no trouble at all finding a spot on the beach. We were impressed by the cleanliness here and we had a great time! It’s a perfect place to stay for a small family!

Great Vacation

My wife, adult daughter, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was just as advertized. It was clean with many conveniences. The beds and couch are comfortable. The washer and dryer are quite nice. Most importantly for the summer Florida heat, the ari conditioner kept things cool inside. The beach is clean, uncrowded, and close. There is an outdoor shower for washing off after the beach, and the back door leads to a bathroom for thorough showering. Lazy Dayz is highly recommended.

Consistently Comfortable

This was our second time at the property and it was a great stay. The renovations/updates were nice and made for comfortable accommodations. Between the rain and tree debris we couldn’t spend as much time outside using the house’s amenities as we had hoped, but we took advantage of the beach as much as possible. We are grateful for this consistently comfortable home away from home in Manasota Key. Thank you!!

Happy Travelers

We had such a great time! It was the absolute best location for us. We have small kids and a dog so it was nice that the beach was a very short, safe walk without any traffic to worry about. If you went right you were a short walk away to the state park, which was great because parking at the state park was very limited. We had a great time walking the dog through the trails and seeing well-preserved old Florida. IF you went left you were a short walk from the main beach area with lots of restaurants to choose from and a park. On Sunday night we walked down to the main beach in time to see the sunset drum circle that was also very family friendly. If you don't like to walk there is a stop for the trolley right outside. When we called to use it once it took the driver less than 5 minutes to pick us up. The beach house was very clean and nice. The A/C system was amazing and I don't know what magic they weaved to keep all the bugs away. Even when we were sitting outside I didn't feel one mosquito. An additional bonus is surrounding the back patio there are lots of beautiful trees and plants instead of just another condo building you may find at other beaches. The beds were very comfortable and linens and towels were nice as well. They had plenty of beach toys for the kids including boogie board, skim board, and kayaks. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Best Beach Cottage!

Check-in was an ease! Debbie was very helpful and called early on the day of check-in to let us know this house was ready whenever we wanted to check-in. We literally had everything we needed! The bikes were a huge hit for our teenage daughters. We had a new grill and the umbrella for the outside dining was wonderful! We were able to shower off after the beach in the outside shower with hot & cold water. Previous reviews mention the beach issue with a particular house. We simply followed the signs posted on the beach to ensure we did "trespass" on her property. We had no problems. We will be back for sure! This was perfect for our family and having our local family come to visit us during the day.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Linda Ulmer

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.

Why they chose this property

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!

What makes this property unique

Location is the best thing about this property. 150 steps to a private beach, no traffic and private homes. We were lucky to have rented from our neighbor before we decided on this home. Now we share a vacant beautifully landscaped property between us. This makes a perfect place for weddings, family get togethers or just friends that want to be close. Our properties together will sleep 16 guests with 3 kitchens and 4 bathrooms. Perfect!! Together we have it all.
