Englewood, Florida
This freshly renovated two bedroom, 2 bath unit is located at the north end of Manasota Key on Lemon Bay and offers spectacular views of the unspoiled and pristine nature of the bay, including dolphins, manatee, sea otters, etc., and lots of birds. All rooms, except guest bedroom, open up to these views and to a lovely paved patio area on Lemon Bay complete with a pergola covering a bar counter with chairs and propane gas grill, a new dock, fire pit, picnic table with umbrella, and a bocce ball court. Relax in the living room or on your front porch with your coffee and enjoy amazing sunrises, or sip a glass of wine under the jasmine covered pergola while grilling on the gas grill. Enjoy a game of bocce ball overlooking the bay, or drop a fishing line off the end of the dock for a chance to catch Red Drum, Snook, Sheepshead, and Snappers. Bringing your boat This unit includes a new dock with deep water access and a boat slip for your boat; however, water is only 18 inches to 2 feet deep in slip at low tide. If you can't park your boat in our slip due to low tide, there is a boat ramp just a little over one mile north, and there is room on our property to park your trailer. Traveling in your RV and want to stretch your legs a bit, there is parking available on our property with a trickle charge. Our pool is heated and includes a nice sun shelf with two chaise lounges for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The beautiful Gulf of Mexico is located just across the street with deeded beach access. Open up your beach cabana and chairs and soak up the warm Florida sun while searching for shells and sharks’ teeth or do some beach fishing with no crowds, and then return home to cool off in the pool. Kayaks are also available for your use and you can take off right from your own front yard. Sol Y Mar is secluded to avoid traffic noise yet is also close to shopping and restaurants. Englewood Beach village is just 6 miles down the canopy covered road with great restaurants and souvenir shops. Englewood Beach (6 miles) and Manasota Key Beach which has a boat ramp (1 mile) both offer beach yoga, and Stump Pass Beach State Park is just 7 miles away. Major shopping is just a few miles off the Key with the north bridge only 1 mile away. All you need to do is pack your bags and head to your vacation in paradise.
Home is beautiful and even better than the pictures! Excellent fishing from the dock steps from the back door. Beach access a very short walk directly across the street. Beach area is all private and not crowded. Perfect place for relaxing
We absolutely loved our weekend away at Bob and Lisa's waterfront apartment in Manasota Key. They are fantastic hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The apartment was so comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. Between the beach, the ICW and the pool, we enjoyed a lot of sun, sand and water. I have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties but this one was a cut above!
Bob & Lisa were very friendly and amazing! Beautiful beach home with gorgeous views. We loved waking up watching the sunrise right from inside the home, the easy beach access for shark tooth hunting, fishing from the dock, to taking a dip in the pool and walking to the beach to watch the sunset. All the items we needed were there for us and if not Lisa and Bob had it for us. I highly recommend this beach home. All around everything was amazing!
The location is very quiet and the beach is easy to get to. We enjoyed kayaking, whenever we wanted to. Lisa and Bob were very helpful.
Quite honestly this place was made for us. Wish we could live there. Seriously though the property is amazing and the hosts are great. We felt right at home. Every amenity we needed was supplied. The location can't be beat unless you need walkable to dining. A few minor notes that you should be aware of. The owners are on site living upstairs and they do have two dogs. We are dog people and loved the daily interaction with Bently (Goldendoodle), but this should probably be disclosed to ensure that renters are amenable to dogs. Also imagine some might be concerned about privacy. So just know that Lisa and Bob are there (which for us was a plus) as they are a fabulous couple and never made us feel like we were close friends. The beach is a short walk across the street and we visited daily. Great walking beach that is very private and uncrowded with beautiful sunsets. Pool is heated and perfect temperature. Sunrise over the intercoastal side was equally gorgeous. We enjoyed great fishing right off the dock and from the supplied kayaks. Caught redfish, catfish, flounder, snook, sea trout and more. House is totally equipped and the beds were comfy. Truly an amazing vacation. We cannot wait to return!
Our week at Bob and Lisa's Manasota Key property was wonderful. Amenities galore, decor beautiful and outside patio the perfect place to unwind and relax. The sunrise on the patio and the sunset from the beach directly across from the house was perfect. Perfect home- perfect hosts. Highly recommend!
Bob and Lisa offer full access and private use of the property. My family enjoys great people and found a great friendship with Bob and Lisa. I will look forward to our next visit. The property is amazing!
We loved our stay here!! The attention to every detail was amazing. Would highly recommend Sol Y Mar!! And we have already booked our time out for next year!!
Look no further for the perfect rental! If you are interested in visiting Manasota Key, make your reservations with confidence. We always stay beachside when visiting Florida but decided to try something new, and are we glad we did! This bayside home is blissful. Large, roomy, and beautifully furnished, yet welcoming and comfortable. The owners make sure their guests feel right at home with no detail overlooked. The kitchen has everything you need and then some, plus owners who will get anything not found. I seriously believe if I had forgotten a swimsuit, Bob and Lisa would drive into town and grab one for me. If you are flying down, no problem. Everything possible is provided, including beach chairs and towels. All the extras are waiting, too. Bocce ball court, fire pit, kayaks, as well as grill and outdoor bar area. All of this while looking out at the beautiful Lemon Bay. Spent my mornings on the dock watching boats, dolphins, birds, and other wildlife floating by. The beach is just across the street...an easy 5 minute walk and a beautiful stretch of sand with very few people around. Perfect for those like us who enjoy listening to the waves and not someone’s music blaring or partying going on. We had never been to Manasota Key but it is a beautiful area. Town has a handful of restaurants with outdoor seating that are excellent but if you are looking for more action, Englewood and Venice are both easy drives. Bentley, resident golden doodle, the happy greeter, yorkie Teddy, a bit shy, and Bob and Lisa made us not only feel welcome, but like old friends here for a visit. We will be back!
