About this property

Gulf side condo be on the beach in minutes!

I want to provide you with an update regarding the Sunburst Condo complex, which was impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The complex itself sustained only superficial damage, and the majority of amenities have either been fully restored or are in the process of recovery.

Notably, the sun deck on the path to the beach and the boardwalk to the beach were destroyed; however, plans are in place to rebuild these, though we do not have a confirmed timeline yet. The pool deck was also damaged, but repairs have commenced, and the pool itself has been repaired and is available for use. You can still access the beach the only difference is you will have to walk on a sand path rather an wooden path.

Regarding the broader impact, Manasota Key was significantly affected by these hurricanes, with many properties experiencing much more severe damage than our complex. The island is in the process of recovery, with ongoing rebuilding efforts to return to its former state. If your stay is planned for 2025, please be prepared for an environment with more construction activity than usual.

The public beach has not yet reopened, as there is an ongoing process to sift and return sand to the beach area. However, the beach directly in front of the Sunburst Condos is open and the sand there has been sifted, ensuring a clean and enjoyable beach experience.

On a positive note, several local establishments, including The Waverly, White Elephant Pub, and Beachcombers Trading Post, have reopened. Other restaurants are actively rebuilding and are expected to welcome guests in the near future.

Please feel free to reach out via call or message if you have any questions. Manasota Key is eager to welcome guests back, striving to restore the authentic Florida charm that many love.

Perfect location for a beach vacation

Perfect location with easy access to the beach, pool, and fishing. If you’re looking for a place to stay that is right on the beach this is the place for you. You get to experience the beach without being surrounded by a ton of tourists. It’s a wonderful, small town beach condo.

Improvements needed

We've stayed in this general area many times. Spoke with other guests who didn't have complaints. I read a review before booking that said they would stay at this condominium again but never this unit. I thought since there were SOME reviews that pointed out areas of improvements those things would've been improved upon, but that's not the case. We arrived for a later check-in. It became evident throughout our stay that this place was never properly cleaned. Hair ties and false eyelashes in the bathroom. Goldfish and popcorn from previous tenants in living room. Kitchen was decently stocked with dishes etc. Not well stocked with paper towels (1 small roll) garbage bag(just the 1 in the can) hand soap or toilet paper. Shower curtain was moldy and crusted together! Called real estate company that over sees property and their solution to no garbage bags was for me to drive to them and pick up a couple from their office. Although better than telling me to go buy my own, our day was planned and I didn't want to interrupt it to do that so I ended up buying my own later that evening (when I had planned to drive down to the stores/restaurants). My choice I know but shouldn't have been an issue to begin with. Location is wonderful. Pool area is very nice.

Christmas vacation 2021

We really enjoyed the gulf side and the beach. The pool was out of commission for a few days because of a storm that passed through. The kids were kinda upset but luckily it was nice enough for the beach. The beach chairs and toys will probably need to be replaced soon. They had beach towels to use so that was nice. The ceiling fans in all the rooms NEED to be replaced very soon. The 2nd bedroom one makes terrible sounds. The living room one won't turn off unless you unplug it. The kitchen was pretty well stocked, I mentioned on our review with the realty company that baking sheets are needed. We will stay in the complex again but probably not in this unit. The other guests that were there during our time made the trip great for us adults and kids.

Just perfect

This condo was great! Easy 2 minute walk to beach and it had everything we needed for a carefree day in the sand and surf! We had plenty of private space on the beach and spent most of the day there! We loved the community beachside patio and the bayside pool! Everyone was so friendly! The condo was perfect! Loved the well stocked kitchen and super soft towels. My teenage son loved the ability to ride his skateboard between the 2 units. Definitely recommend this gem for a small family vacation getaway!

We always have a great time in Englewood and this condo is in a great location. The condo is fully stocked and clean. We didn’t have any issues with the air like other reviewers. The only thing we didn’t like was having to leave to go home haha. Thanks for a great place to stay for our trip.

Great vacation, as always!

We have stayed in this unit several times and as always, we had a fantastic time! The unit was very clean and is a great place to stay because it is easy to social distance. You have a private beach with few people there so we felt very comfortable. In fact, one of the days, we had the pool all to ourselves! Made for a great vacation. We will definitely be staying here again!

Stay was ok

Place was clean but hot when we arrived and it took a long time to cool down. It was definitely outdated and could use some new furniture. You couldn’t turn the air down below 72 degrees and when you left to go somewhere, when you came back house was hot again. When you are outside in the sweltering heat you want to step in a cool house. It was never cool. Check in and check out was easy enough.

About the host

Hosted by Angelia Hudkins

Host profile image
Our family purchased the condominium in July of 2012. We have another condo in Punta Gorda and love Southwest FL. We have been looking for a place on the beach when we found this unit. Our family enjoys vacationing in SW FL because there is so much to do and you don't have to do anything to enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

You won't find a better value with a location like this. A very short walk will put you right on the beach. Everything you need to have a great trip is here. Many restaurants are within a 10 minute walk. A beach canopy and ice chest are provided in the storage closet along with boogie boards. Great place to search for shark teeth and shells. A covered parking spot will keep you vehicle cool and protected. The pool is heated and has a beautiful view of the bay.

What makes this property unique

Privately owned with care and touch noticeable in the decor and furnishing however onsite manager available to help with any problems. Plus you can be on the beach in minutes.
