About this property
120 steps to beach! Safely on the beach side of the road!
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

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.
