We are very family friendly and tried to think of everything all ages would need at this house to build memories to last a lifetime.

Rated one of the Top Five VRBO rentals on Manasota Key for its size. You will not want to pass up a chance to enjoy all it has to offer both inside and outside of the house.

Welcome to Paradise!

Enjoy your get away at this spacious, well appointed home with updated furnishing, top of the line appliances, granite counter tops and cabinets throughout, situated just steps from Gulf of Mexico beaches.

Manasota Key, a quiet barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico is located just south of Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, and Casey Key. It is also just north of Fort Meyers and Sanibel Island. You can day trip to explore some of these other beaches and return to the comfort of your own home away from home each night.

The Sugar Shack has been recently updated with new ceramic tile throughout the living areas & kitchen and new carpet in the bedrooms. It comes complete with WIFI and high-speed internet, if you choose to stay "on the grid", however after a day or so in paradise, getting off-the-grid becomes much easier.

The Primary bathroom is finished with a granite counter top, ceramic tile floor, and combination tub shower. Guest bathroom has a granite counter top and a ceramic tile stall shower. There is also an outdoor shower to wash off your sandy feet.

All 3 bedrooms have over-sized closets and televisions for your enjoyment. The primary (upstairs) bedroom has a queen bed, the downstairs bedroom has a queen bed, and the bunk room has a full over full bunk bed with a full put out trundle & an additional twin bed.

Imagine being located on Manasota Key and staying less than 150 yards from the beach!

Lounge in the sun or under the moonlight on the 2nd floor large deck, or enjoy some R&R on the large covered ground lanai spending your time on the porch swing or hammocks. Enjoy your meals under the lanai, the ceiling fans will help keep you cool as you take in all this property has to offer.

At night enjoy sitting by the propane fire as you make S'mores and talk about the memories you created at Manasota Key.

If the beach is more your thing, which we suspect it probably is, fill up the Sugar Shack's beach-wagon with the supply of beach toys for the kids, chairs and umbrella to enjoy the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We also provide 2 adult Kayaks, 2 kid kayaks, 2 paddle boards, and life jackets that you can be used during your stay (based on the condition from the previous guests).

If fishing is more up your alley use our poles (based on the condition from the previous guests) and fish from the beach, or from Lemon Bay. Both are under 150 short steps away from the Sugar Shack.

Shell & shark tooth hunting is a popular way to also pass the time on Manasota Key, you won't come home empty handed. You will find more shark teeth here than any other beach around us.

Cruise around the Island on one of the bikes or scooters that we provide. We offer lots of sizes of bikes and helmets so that your whole family can enjoy (based on the condition from the previous guests). There is also a bike stroller if needed so the whole family can enjoy this activity.

The Sugar Shack has all of the cooking utensils you need to make your favorite meals at your home away from home. There are several restaurants with live entertainment that are a short jaunt from the home (walking or bike riding distance for most). More than enough places to visit a new one every night during a weeks stay.

Golf, Jet Ski's, Charter Fishing, Snokeling, Dolphin Watching Tours, Parasailing, and Boat rentals are available on the Island, less than 5 minutes away. The Sugar Shack binder will have information on all of these activities to help you plan once you arrive.

Come experience why the Sugar Shack on Manasota Key is such a popular destination for our guests of all ages.

Our family of 6 had a fantastic stay at the Sugar Shack! Location can’t be beat - a block from the beach and a block to the bay. Very quiet street and neighborhood. So relaxing! The home had everything you could need and then some. Kayaks were awesome to have. Beach gear and shark hunting gear was available. There was a storm the day before our arrival and Brian was in touch with us ahead of time to keep us posted on status of the home. Everything worked out perfectly and we would love to stay here again in our next vacation!

If your looking for a location away from the tourist traps and close to a great gulf beach then this is it. Our family flew to Florida for the first time and were concerned with not having all the stuff we normally take to a beach. Well this house has everything. I mean everything. Chairs, coolers, canopies, umbrellas, wave boards, kayaks, etc. That was the outside stuff. The inside was more than equipped as well. Great communication from the owner, and plenty of local info for places to eat and stuff to do. Overall an A+. My family would love to come back again.

My family and I loved this property so much during our visit last year that we booked the property again this year and will probably make this an annual family getaway. The house is in a great location, has great sleeping options and includes tons of amenities (i.e. paddle boards/kayaks, beach equipment, bikes, etc.). The hosts are equally as great...very accommodating and super communicative.

The Sugar Shack provided us with an amazing location for easy beach access…quick walk to a quieter beach (compared to the larger and much more populated public beach area one would have to drive to), and an even shorter walk to watch the sunrise on the bay in the mornings! Our family (mom, dad, grandma, and boys, ages 11,9 and 7) had an amazing time making memories and relaxing. Thanks for a great place to do that, Sugar Shack!

If you want an experience of the beach and fishing Look no further this is the place. Everything we packed was literally already there to use. Kayaks, life jackets, beach stuff, coolers, bikes, and even an ice machine which was awesome!! It is only 6 houses from the beach or to the bay side where we took the kayaks out. We had a great time. Thanks again

We couldn’t have asked for anything more during our stay. We were concerned about not being beachfront. But the walk was only a couple of minutes. The home was equipped with everything you could need, the most well stocked home we had ever stayed.

We had a nice little stay despite the weather on Manasota in the Sugar Shack. It’s easy access from the island entrance, easy walk to both the intercoastal and ocean side. There were lots of amenities in the outdoor shed, things to do in the water (which we didn’t this time around), and lots of bikes. The bottom entry floor is a little tight but when you’re mostly just using the house for sleeping it’s ok. The main floor and living area worked out great. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Manasota!

There are not many places one can view the sunrise and sunset from the same street. The home is well appointed, comfy and spacious. Thanks for everything!
