About this property

Seaside Treasure with Stunning Sunsets

Welcome to Castaways and 14A! Amongst the miles of spectacular beaches along southwest Florida’s gorgeous sapphire coastline, your direct GULF FRONT seaside treasure awaits.

This bright, recently updated, sunny condo is beach front! Just walk out your door, down the path and onto the sand. This condo boasts panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico from the living room, dining area, kitchen, and private balcony.

Step out onto your private balcony to enjoy stunning sunsets or just to sit and watch the waves roll in. Directly in front of you will be miles of unspoiled, powdery white, sand and the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf.

Keep an eye out for breaching dolphin, soaring eagles, osprey, diving pelicans and sea gulls as you stroll the ocean’s edge. Additionally, colorful seashells and sharks teeth are sure to catch your eye. They are plentiful! As you beachcomb, be sure to watch for an occasional sand dollar too! Feel free to bring your coffee and join the morning yoga class on the beach. There is no charge, and this group meets 7 days per week, year around!

This recently updated and well-appointed condo features a master bedroom with a queen-sized bed. The bedroom has a flat screen television with remote control and a ceiling fan for your comfort. There is free, private, wifi in the condo. The bathroom is newly renovated and features a granite countertop. The furnishings create a Caribbean feel and are completed with Caribbean Joe and Tommy Bahama accents. Additionally, there is a fully furnished, updated, kitchen featuring granite countertops and a Keurig. All beach gear is provided. Just bring your sunscreen.

Please, come experience this treasure for yourself. Fall asleep to the sound of rolling waves of the Gulf, and wake up to the dolphins playing in the surf! During the day, relax; enjoy a margarita on your private deck, at the pool or on the beach. We are sure you will return time and time again, and will find that everything in this seaside treasure remains timeless.

Long Weekend

Checked in on Wed and had amazing weather till Sunday when we felt the Hurricane bands of Debby. The owners touched base to make sure we had everything we needed throughout Sunday and Monday. Unit was well stocked, lots of beach toys, chairs, and noodles. Bed was very comfortable and home was nicely decorated.

Solo Workcation

I was looking for a place where I could work remotely during the day with a nice view of the ocean, and then log off and walk to the beach to relax. This place was absolutely PERFECT and exactly what I wanted. The view truly can’t be beat. Gorgeous sunsets, clean beach, and great people. I had such a relaxing time. Karen was great, always very prompt to respond and allowed me to check in early and use her beach chair a little past check out time. Much appreciated! Would highly recommend this one, it’s a gem!!

Spectacular vacation

This property was absolutely perfect for my husband and me. So cozy and convenient to the beach. We had a beach view and had our coffee on the front porch facing the gulf each morning. We were steps from a private beach and had everything we needed, such as beach chairs, umbrella, towels, etc. We will definitely be back.

Spectacular Getaway

First Karen was terrific! Every question I sent was answered within minutes. When we arrived at the property, it was confusing to find 14A. But the minute we walked onto the covered front deck, we were ecstatic, which only continued when we unlocked the door. Beautifully furnished, and more spacious then we had imagined. We spent a fair amount of time on the front deck, having coffee in morning, writing postcards to the Grands, and enjoying a glass of wine watching the sunset! The beach was private and just steps from the front door. We walked to a number of restaurants for dinner that did not disappoint! It was just what we needed and we’ll surely be back. Thanks Karen!

Perfect peaceful getaway

We so enjoyed this cozy condo - right on the beach and exactly as advertised! We mostly just relaxed … but also walked to rent kayak and paddleboard one afternoon, walked to local restaurants with live music, and searched the beach for sharks teeth (found some!). The unit itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed.

Beautiful and quiet

Had a great stay! Office manager did not answer my message requesting info about the property or area, but checking in and out was very easy. The unit is updated and was well-kept and well-stocked. Beach is definitely steps away, but you don't just walk out the door and onto the sand...there is a walkway very near to the unit in order to get to the beach. I was able to catch some really nice video of lightning storms from the deck, missed the sunsets though because of the clouds. You're asked to keep the AC at a specific temp, so it's not really adjustable, and to keep the windows closed so the AC doesn't freeze up. You're also asked to keep the thermostat on either cool or heat, so I wasn't sure if you were allowed to actually turn it off so you could open the windows - this made it difficult to hear the waves at night or in the morning. So, if you're looking to be able to enjoy the crashing of the waves while you sleep, note that this MAY be a challenge. Phone/internet reception and wifi can be wonky, so be aware of that. Bring bug spray for the mosquitos! Overall, I did enjoy my stay and would definitely return!

A nugget that I wish was my own

We were told, and I do believe it to be true, that 14A is the nicest condo at Castaways. It's semi private being the last condo next to the public beach and the wrap around covered porch is a well furnished added bonus. The condo itself is nicely furnished and has all the amenities of home. Plenty of towels, washcloths, kitchen supplies, linens, etc.... I would call it a very romantic and quaint condo for two. The property itself is VERY well maintained, there are paved pathways around the complex to walk along . The pool and deck area are nice. It was nice to have two gas grills available to cook on. The laundry room areas were very nice and convenient as well. Karen's condo is literally right next to the beach--no long boardwalks or stairs to go up, down and over. There are also several very nice restaurants to walk to---highly recommend the key largo grouper at Lock'N Key. Finally, Karen's condo had the best seats in the house for watching dolphins in the morning while sipping coffee and toasting the sunset with champagne.

Hidden Gem

We had never been to Manasota Key Beach before and it was a wonderful surprise! The beach is beautiful and having a private beach at Castaways was fantastic. The public beach was very crowded, while our area was not. The unit was extremely clean and had all of the amenities that someone needs. We will definitely be back!

Great location and roomy for the Square footage

Positives: Right on the beach, great sunset views, Right next to walkway onto the beach, Pleanty of deck seating. Felt roomy. Negatives: No water hose at building to rinse sand off when returning from beach. Heat & AC locked at a certain temp., Matteresses were wore out. Pool was never kept warm enough to swim in it. The damage fee took a long time to be refunded back to my account,

Why they chose this property

We were married in 2004 on the beach. We are pictured here in a nearby bunch of bananas, just one of the unique tropical trees in the area. We purchased a different condo at Castaways 8 years ago, and then recently purchased 14A. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!
