Turtles and Toes is a peaceful and relaxing refuge that will refresh your mind and soul.
The 600 square foot updated and charming cottage RIGHT ON THE BEACH is where you can sunbathe, swim, snorkel, collect shells and sharks' teeth, and fish with a spectacular 180 degree exposure to the Gulf of America.
Sleep and wake to the soothing sounds of the surf. Walk or jog the 16 miles of the sandy key. Be endlessly entertained by shore birds, pelicans, dolphins, turtles and tortoises, all right at your doorstep. Go shell or sharks' teeth hunting or kayaking. Fly a kite, fish, or just chill out and be mesmerized by the emerald water. And you'll be amazed by the gorgeous sunsets followed by a star show that dips all the way into the sea.
You'll find a king-size bed and a wall-mounted 52 flat screen TV, Sonos, Wi-Fi, and a sleek, well-supplied kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful walnut island. The expansive terrace has two tables and chairs as well as chairs and umbrellas for the beach.
With health safety in mind, you may check in and check out independently.
But being the actual owners who live nearby, we are readily available!
We have very high cleanliness standards, disinfecting everything with the appropriate products.
The modernized Old Florida cottage is over the North Key drawbridge to Manasota Key and off a private lane. It is isolated, yet it is near shopping, 15 golf courses, restaurants, and the many amenities and events that Venice and Englewood have to offer.
Please be aware that large pick up trucks or any very large vehicle will have difficulty turning around in the driveway or lane.

    Such a wonderful place! The host are exceptional! We have stayed four times now in this rental. We had our 2025 1500 chevrolet truck and it turned just fine in the driveway with a little back and fill. Found a container full of sharks teeth. Even a few in the yard. You can tell by the property the hard work and time they have put into it. Post a double hurricane. Love the new patio and palm trees!

    We have been to this property multiple times but this is the first since the hurricane. Things were slightly different but no less amazing! Such a warm cozy feel to this beachfront cottage. We thought the beach was close BEFORE the hurricane!…It is now literally steps from the new patio!! You can’t find a better vantage point for the stunning sunsets than the patio table at this property! The worst part of staying here is having to leave at the end of our trip. Absolutely LOVE this place and we will be back again.

    We loved our stay at this little cottage on the beach. Location could not have been better. Was nice to have all the beach supplies available, even sunscreen, even though we brought our own. Found lots of sharks teeth too!!

    Turtles and Toes is a little cottage that was perfect for my lowkey 48th birthday celebration. The location alone being 100 feet or so from the beach deserves the 10/10. It’s a small cottage but perfect for the two of us. We ran into a few issues as my partner has an unusually large Ram 2500 heavy duty truck. It is important to note, the driveway leading to the cottage is fairly narrow and the driveway at the cottage is not made for large cars or trucks. Had we known that, we could have driven my Camry and navigated that area much easier. The parking caused a small hiccup for the neighbor right in front of this property but Donna and Joe helped us work it out the best we could. T-Mobile does not have good service at all in that area and the internet at the cottage was a bit spotty, which caused the TV to not work at times. But we made the best of it with just enjoying each other and spending more time outside on the patio and at the beach. I know most people don’t like to cook while on vacation but we still do. It may be a good idea to get an exhaust fan somewhere by the stovetop as we had to open windows to prevent too much smoke in the house. All in all, I’d visit this cottage again hands down. We hope to return when the Atlanta Braves are there at the training facility as it’s only 15 minutes away. Donna was very responsive to my concerns and did what she could to make it a great trip for us.Lastly, I found LOTS of shark teeth. Until next time Turtles and Toes.

    Our first stay post-hurricanes. The owners did a nice job repairing, updating and refining the property. The paver patio was very spacious and much more usable than the deck. It was nesting season, and we were able to witness three loggerhead turtles come ashore at night -- magical!The new palm trees offered breathtaking views at sunset. The cottage was fresh and new and wonderful!

    This cottage is the absolute perfect getaway! It has everything you need and then some. Spotlessly clean and updated. Location could not be better, plus our last night there, a giat sea turtle climbed the dune to within 20 feet of the cottage door! Picturesque views and steps from the surf just can’t be beat! Also we just can’t heap enough praise on the owners! The communication is the best we have ever experienced from a VRBO host! If VRBO has a best host award Joe & Donna should win it!

    We have stayed at this cottage before, and it’s always been obvious how much love the owners put into the cottage, and how much effort they put into making your stay an enjoyable one. Knowing how much work they had to do to get it rehabbed after last year’s hurricanes makes you appreciate it even more. The cottage is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. You are right on the beach with a spectacular view of the sunset. Communication with the hosts is a breeze and they are quick to respond to any questions you have.
