Direct Beachfront Home with Expansive Ocean Views - 1840 Gulf Boulevard

Direct Beachfront Home with Expansive Ocean Views - 1840 Gulf Boulevard - VRBO 1609417

This spectacular five-bedroom and five-bathroom gulf-front home offers the ultimate experience in coastal living both inside AND out! With views of the Gulf of Mexico from almost every room in the house, this two-story gulf-front home is the perfect place to create family memories on your vacation! The house has just completed a major renovation in January 2023 which includes a brand-new kitchen and 3 new bathrooms.

Over 6,600 square feet of living space with features such as a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone wall, new custom kitchen with island breakfast bar, separate dining area seating 10, oversized patio and deck with built-in bar accessible from multiple rooms, and an upstairs lounge with private balcony access are just a few of the amazing amenities that this beautiful home has to offer. This gulf-front estate is just steps away from shopping, restaurants, and live entertainment yet still offers that laid-back beach lifestyle that allows one to just relax and unwind on vacation!

In turtle season, you may find a giant turtle nesting right in front of the house- what a thrill! Please show the turtles full courtesy use the blinds and switch off outside lights in nesting season.

The famous Stump Pass, the Lemon Bay Aquatic Preserve, the backwaters of the Beach State Park, and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, all well-known for their excellent fisheries (among the very best in the nation) are just 10 minutes away. Fishermen will enjoy catching all types of the most desirable game fish. Walk to restaurants and shops. Give us a call today to make this lovely home your next vacation destination!

Manasota Key is a quiet community with a sense of Old World Florida with easy access to local bars and restaurants which makes this an ideal location for your relaxing and convenient getaway for the day or even a few hours. You can walk to the nearby restaurants and bars as well as the mini-mart for last-minute essentials right from the beach. There is also a free shuttle service if you choose not to walk. Just call Stumpy’s Free Ride at 941-822-1444. They service almost the entire beach.

Awesome and roomy!!
Was a really nice home with lots of nice recent upgrades. Location close to the action on Manasota Key and the beach was great. It’s a little close to the public beach so we did experience some overflow but it was not excessive. Beware of the red tide as that can affect your stay!! Loved all the large window space but there are some architectural oddities in the home. Nothing that pulled away from our vaca though. The kitchen was awesome as well as all the bedrooms. Lots of space to stretch out and relax and we will miss this place as we get back to life in the Midwest!!

Family fun n in the sun
The spacious unique home was the perfect setting for our family vacation with our grown children. The location is within a block to 3 bars to walk to for special drinks, music , karaoke, and even dats. The large kitchen made cooking in teams easy, we ate all dinners on the long dining room table. So much space, rambling and unique. The home and the sunny beach was the best setting to spend stress free time together.

Disappointing
The house needs a lot of work. It especially needs a deep clean and the cockroaches are a major problem. We had exterminators come twice in our stay without the problem being resolved. A lot of the furniture needs to be replaced, outlets are not working etc. if I could post photos of the property you would be disgusted.

Great beach place for lots of families
Love this property so much!! We have loved staying here 2 years in a row! The only thing I wish they would do is cut back the tall hedges clocking the view in the dining room and trim the tall tree off the back porch. It just blocks the view a lot. Other than that, we loved it!

Right on the beach
Kitchen was top notch as far as utensils and gadgets. The ice maker was not working well so we bought some ice. The house was cool and clean. Palmetto bugs were abundant in the morning but only on the first level. They were on their last legs as the property must have been sprayed recently. The men needed more comfortable seating (sofas are worn) and more televisions to watch their sports at night. Saw several black racer snakes Crossing our walkway to the beach. They caused us a fright but they we’re just as afraid of us as we were them. 🤣Mattresses and two of the bathrooms needed to be updated. The home is historic and large and beautiful. More beach chairs would have been a plus to take down to the water and maybe a small cooler for the beach. When you fly and can’t bring a lot these little things mean a lot.

The PERFECT beach house
Really fun place. Easy to watch kids by water and be near the house. House has tons of character and unique attributes. Well-stocked with amenities including beach toys. 5 minute walk to multiple great restaurant choices. This is definitely a top-choice for a relaxing beach stay with a big family

We all enjoyed our stay on the beach at Englewood! Two birthdays and just plain good fun with friends!! Located close to everything we wanted to do. LOTS of sharks teeth for everyone. Didn’t let the Red Tide ( which was minimal) stop our fun in the sun or sunset cocktail hour! Thank You! Peggy Carter

Great house and perfect location
This was a perfect house for our family of 10. Plenty of room and everyone had their own space. The house has lots of character and is at a perfect location on the beach and just a couple minutes walk to restaurants and shopping. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and linens and towels appeared to be new. Outside bar provided space for cold drinks without having to go inside. We spent hours outside on the covered deck overlooking the beach and ocean. Inside, the dining room and upstairs sun room offered beautiful views of the sunset. We would definitely recommend this home for anyone needing plenty of space and 5 bedrooms. We visited during turtle nesting season (May-Oct), so just be sure to keep lights turned off on the beach side of house (or close curtains). Each morning while walking on the beach, we saw new nests marked by the “turtle patrol” and could still see the tracks made by the turtles. Very cool!

Great location but the property has been neglected. It would be much more attractive if a cleanup crew fixed the dozens of things that need repair. Cockroaches were also a problem every morning.

This place was amazing for our trip. We had a group of ten and we had plenty of room! Other than needing a few updates we would stay here again. It was perfect for our kids to just go out on the beach and not have to worry about a bunch of people or even being crowded. Very laid back area. Once again we loved it!

Beach vacay
Perfect location of house. House was perfect size for all of us. If anything, one bed was not changed. One bed was covered in sand. There were plenty of pillows, but no pillow cases. So I had to go buy some. There are no large garbage cans for inside the house, just small bathroom ones, so I had to go buy some. Other than those few things. It’s was great!!

Not as advertised !
Location is excellent House not so much. Issues : live roaches in silverware drawer. Worms all over the place. Didn't look like much effort was made to clean the place, floors were sandy. musty smell. Built up dust. Mold in showers. Garbage was overflowing. Toilet paper was not changed out Paneling in one bathroom is falling off. Linens are Yard Sale quality, as is the furniture. No pillow cases. We bought our own pillows and cases because they'res were nasty. House is in desperate need of renovation to spite being presented as a mansion . Oh I forgot the RAT and the frogs ! Just too many issues to mention in this short e-mail. A larger more comprehensive list is be put together for the listing agent. In short : You pay for the "Clammpets Family" mansion what you get is the "Addams Family" mansion!!

Amazing Home and Location
This is a beautiful home right on the beach. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of cookware and dishes. There are ample towels and beach gear. The home was large enough to give us our own space, and the dining table is where we spent many hours playing games or having meals together, all with a spectacular view of the ocean! I cannot say enough about this home. It is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. We had a maintenance issue, and the maintenance staff was immediately available and helpful. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will definitely stay again.

On Site Manager Could've Been Nicer and House Cleaner
Booking was easy and due to COVID-19, we had several email exchanges and phone conversations with the property manager that were positive. Unfortunately our experience checking in wasn't so great. 1) We had to wait an extra hour to check in due to COVID-19 cleaning requirements, which wouldn't have been too bad if the person at the office wouldn't have been rude about it. 2) Once we arrived at the property, the cleaning crew was still there and made us wait another 20 minutes to enter, which wouldn't have been awful but we had groceries in the car and young kids who needed to potty. 3) Once we got inside, the house itself was huge, with a great view, right on the beach, awesome, right?!? True, but after being forced to wait an extra hour and 20 minutes to get inside the property (due to cleaning requirements), you would have thought the place would be spotless...not so much :( - dead cockroaches in several places - literally hundreds of dead bugs in the large window tracks - sticky/smudged pantry door and glass table top - hair and left over shampoo, etc. in one of the bathrooms Not the end of the world, by any stretch... just would've been nice to have a more hospitable greeting with a cleaner start. All in all the property is nicely situated, right on the beach with restaurants, boat rentals and marinas within walking distance. The house has a bit of a strange layout but there was plenty of room for our crew of 11 and once we got past the initial check-in and cleaning issues we had an great time.
