Sarasota & Charlotte Counties
Exclusive barrier-island sanctuary, gulf-to-bay estates, and pristine private beaches.
Overview
Manasota Key is a prestigious 11-mile barrier island stretch off the coast of Englewood and Venice. Renowned for its quiet elegance, tropical canopy roads, and strict absence of high-rises or commercial sprawl, Manasota Key offers an authentic Old Florida island sanctuary.
The island features some of the Florida Gulf Coast’s most extraordinary real estate—ranging from secluded beachfront compounds and gulf-to-bay luxury estates to charming coastal cottages and waterfront condominiums.
With the Gulf of Mexico on one side and deepwater Lemon Bay on the other, residents enjoy private beach access for sea turtle watching and shark tooth hunting, alongside backyard boat docks that accommodate larger powerboats and masted sailboats.
