Gulf-front accommodations
Manasota Key Resort offers studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom suites with views of the Gulf of Mexico or Lemon Bay. Each unit includes a fully equipped kitchen with a cooktop or range, refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. Select suites feature private balconies, king or queen beds, and 50-inch flat-screen TVs. Some units have sleeper sofas and dishwashers.
Onsite dining options
Magnolia's on the Bay, an upscale restaurant on Manasota Key, offers outdoor seating with Gulf views. The resort's market provides snacks, beer, wine, and basic groceries. The outdoor kitchen includes a BBQ grill, pizza oven, and bartop seating for guest use.
Recreation and activities
Guests have access to two heated pools, a private beach, and complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, and beach cruisers. The resort features a sports court with pickleball, basketball, and shuffleboard, as well as a mini putting green. Fishing docks on Lemon Bay include cleaning stations and night fishing lights.
Prime island location
The resort is steps from Englewood Beach and a short walk to Stump Pass Beach State Park. Nearby attractions include Blind Pass Beach and the Waverly restaurant. Free golf cart rides via Stumpy's Free Ride service help guests explore the island.
Guest services
The welcome center assists with excursion planning and provides resort maps. The market stocks essentials, and a 24/7 guest laundry is available. Small dogs (under 25 lbs) are permitted in select units. Parking is assigned, and pools operate from 8 AM to dusk.
“Manasota Key Resort has emerged as a true gem, reborn from the classic Wanna Be Inn, situated where the Gulf meets Lemon Bay, offering a tranquil escape next to Stump Pass State Park. I find the meticulous landscaping and recreational offerings-kayaks meeting dolphins, shell treasures ashore-create an active yet serene family haven, with the staff embodying the soul of the resort. It's a place where nature's beauty intertwines with thoughtful details, making it a magical destination.”
