💖 Why You'll Love This Home
Ibis Cottage sits directly on the sand with uninterrupted Gulf views, offering a true beachfront experience on Manasota Key. The home is positioned to take full advantage of its setting, with wide sliding glass doors that open to an expansive screened lanai and outdoor patio just steps from the shoreline. Inside, the layout feels open and connected, with a bright living space that looks straight out to the water. The updated kitchen and dining area flow easily together, creating a comfortable space to gather between beach time. Both primary bedrooms feature private bathrooms, and the enclosed outdoor shower, accessible from the full bathrooms, adds a beach-ready touch. Beyond the beach, guests have access to the adjacent Manasota Beach Club resort amenities including a heated pool, Har-Tru tennis court, pickleball, playground, classic shuffleboard, and more to explore.

👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect For
Ideal for a romantic retreat for two, couples traveling together, or friends seeking space and privacy.

🎞️ Imagine This
Wake to the sound of waves, watch sea oats and dune sunflowers sway in the coastal breeze, and catch the occasional dolphin surfacing offshore or pelican plunging into the Gulf. Spend your days lingering, mesmerized by the ever-changing views and natural beauty around you. Collect shells, hunt for Manasota Key's famous fossils, and search the shoreline for fossilized shark teeth. As the sun begins to set, return to your cottage and watch the sky shift colors with nothing but water in front you.
