The Neighborhood:
Manasota Key is located south of Sarasota in the city of Englewood. Manasota Key is 7 miles long with four beaches to choose from. By foot, bicycle, or car Englewood Beach is just minutes away from our Beachcomber’s Retreat. Englewood Beach has a boardwalk, covered picnic areas, and restrooms. Restaurants, bars, shopping, and waterfront dining locations are across the street from Englewood Beach. North of Englewood Beach is Blind Pass Beach. This is another great spot to search for shark teeth or to take a walk on the nature trail through sand dunes and mangroves. Farther north, Manasota Beach offers another spot to explore and is a popular snorkeling area. You are also within walking distance, half a mile, of Stump Pass Beach State Park, another Manasota Key treasure. Stump Pass Beach covers the southern end of the key. Countless hours can be spent exploring the mile-long beach or hiking the trails. Visitors have an opportunity to encounter dolphins, manatees, loggerhead turtles, and egrets as you stroll the sandy beach.
You are also within walking distance of Lemon Bay which is the perfect spot to set off in a kayak to get a closer view of the inter-coastal wildlife along the mangrove fringed shoreline. Catch a glimpse of dolphins and manatees as you fish.
Manasota Key has some of the best fishing, boating, sailing, and kayaking available. You are also only minutes from golfing, shopping, grocery stores, and hospitals.
We came for the boat races- the place was amazing, clean, and easily accessible to all events for the race. Carol is an awesome host
The feeling when we pulled up was, this feels comfy. Going inside we were impressed by the cleanliness and loved the beach decor. It was a short and shady walk to the beach. My friend and I took her mother with us and we all loved the peaceful stay. We were on our first shark tooth hunting adventure. Sure enough in one day we found over a 100 between 2 of us! There is a toy box that had almost anything you could want for a day on the beach. I used the sturdy sand sifter all day to hunt for teeth. Also, there is an excess of shells that wash up daily. Really an interesting beach to explore and happy place to stay! There are a few restaurant/bars a few blocks away and we were not disappointed. A great time was had by all!
This place had everything for my kids and their friends to hang out and play. Paddle board, kayaks, boogie boards, but their favorite was the bikes I think. In between beach and bay! Sunrises were amazing. Sunsets beautiful. Nature walks bike lanes and lots of sun! Such great hosts with snacks and drinks waiting! Beautiful beachy place. It is small but we stayed outside most of the time and the accommodations were so cute! We will definitely back next year! Peaceful part of the key.
I enjoyed stay at the hosts property. They were very thoughtful and the property was just as described. I wish I stayed longer to take advantage the offerings more.
We spent six days at the Pelican Perch and it was an outstanding stay. Every amenity we could have needed was provided: kayaks, life vests, bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, paddle boards, kayak wheels, great kitchen amenities. The property was perfectly situated next to Stump Pass State Park where we did all of our beach outings and kayaking, and it was just a 3 minute walk from the property. In the evenings we rode bikes to the Sand Bar for dinner or cooked at home. I can't recommend this enough for a relaxing beach vacation. Our kids loved it too--especially the dolphins as we kayaked and the manatees in the gulf that we swam right up to! Many shark teeth and shells were collected. And many great memories were created!
Our annual trip to Manasota Key is the highlight of the summer! Pelican Perch was exactly as advertised…but we knew it would be based on previous stays at Beachcomber properties. The location is perfect for a quick stroll to Stump Pass State Park or riding a bike “into to town” for dinner. The unit was professionally cleaned, well stocked and we didn’t have to go to the store once during our week long stay. The property’s maintenance team was on site conducting some property improvements (new exterior paint and trim) and they were professional and never once disturbed our stay. The owner/operators are professional property managers and it really shows in their units, client communications and the amenities provided. We will back for many years to come.
Had a nice Time at this property. They had everything you could think of needing for your stay. Place was clean and organized.
We had a wonderful vacation in Manasota Key, largely because of the conveniences of Pelican Perch. We have active sons who enjoyed the bikes, kayaks and SUPs. Having those items at our disposal was perfect. Also, the owners have thought of everything you might need during your stay at the beach and had it available in the condo or laundry room. Beach chairs, umbrellas, carts, swim masks…even bug spray and aloe vera gel! The kitchen had the proper tools to prepare meals. Everything we wanted to do was within a short walking distance or ride with Stumpy’s. Never crowded or touristy, even as the 4th of July approached. Will recommend to all of our friends and family.
Everything was absolutely perfect!
We had a wonderful time at our Pelican Perxh rental! The location was terrific and the rental had everything imaginable for an enjoyable stay! We were so happy to have bikes and beach chairs at our fingertips as well. We will surely be back for another visit next year. I would highly recommend renting from Carol! The rental was spotless and in a perfect location.
