Gulf Coast Beach Retreat. Pool & Sauna, Cold Plunge, Short Walk To Beach.

Your dream beach getaway awaits at Sunset Beach Retreat on beautiful Manasota Key, one of Florida’s best-kept coastal secrets — just 500 steps from the beach. Known for its uncrowded white-sand beaches, incredible shelling, and breathtaking sunsets, Manasota Key offers a peaceful, authentic island escape away from the crowds of busier destinations.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing family vacation, a fun girls’ weekend, or a memorable group getaway, this private coastal retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and resort-style amenities.

Spend your days exploring Manasota Key Beach and nearby Stump Pass Beach State Park, a protected nature preserve famous for its pristine shoreline, wildlife sightings, shark tooth hunting, and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the Gulf Coast. Dolphins, manatees, and coastal birds are often spotted just offshore.

Back at the home, unwind in your private resort-style backyard designed for relaxation and wellness. Take a dip in the pool, relax in the 5-person infrared sauna, or reset with a cold plunge after a day in the sun.

For guests who love to stay active or explore the island, Sunset Beach Retreat delivers. Enjoy complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, and bicycles, challenge friends on the putting green, or take advantage of the optional 6-person golf cart rental to cruise the island, visit the beach, or explore local restaurants and live music spots with ease.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious, open layout designed for gathering and comfort, with room for everyone to relax after a day at the beach. With sleeping accommodations for groups, fast Wi-Fi, and all the comforts of home, this retreat is ideal for everything from laid-back beach days to active island adventures.

Enjoy nearby beachfront dining, local seafood favorites, and live music, or venture a short drive to Englewood, Venice, Boca Grande, and Sarasota for shopping, fishing charters, and memorable day trips.

Whether you’re escaping the cold, celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving time by the sea, Sunset Beach Retreat offers the ultimate Manasota Key experience — steps from the beach, rich in amenities, and designed for unforgettable stays.
