Direct Beachfront Cottage On Private & Secluded Beach in Manasota Key

Are you looking for the perfect hide-a-way on a tropical island
with your own private beach; a beach so private that you are likely
to see more dolphins than people? Do you dream of a beach that is
littered with shells and sharks teeth, where you can enjoy one
magnificent sunset, after another? Then you have found your dream come true...
Our Cuddlefish Beach Cottage is on a secluded beach on the quiet island
of Manasota Key. Our private beach is covered with gorgeous shells
and numerous sharks teeth. Just off shore is one of the few Florida
west coast reefs in just a few feet of water; perfect for snorkeling
and fishing. We have 2 screened lanais; one literally on pilings sittings right over the surf, perfect for enjoying the beach while lounging in the shade (no sun screen required), and another attached to the back of the house for Bar-B-Qing and relaxing. Betweenour cottage and the beach is our own very private back yard, shaded by towering palm trees. Our cottage has all new appliances including a Sub-Zero
refrigerator, 3 TV's with DVD and cable, cable high-speed internet, and
iPod/MP3 ready music players in each room. Golf, tennis, restaurants
and shopping are only minutes away on the mainland.
