Serene Retreat - 5 mins to Beach, with Beach Gear, Firepit, Bicycles

Welcome to Pelican Hut!

Escape to a serene and welcoming beach home with old Florida charm.

Just 2.5 miles from Englewood Beach in Manasota Key, the sandy shores of the gulf of Mexico are within a short drive or bike ride’s reach. Whether you love to swim, fish, go shelling, shark tooth hunting, or other water activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, parasailing, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

This newly remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features an inviting open concept, creating a seamless flow from the modern kitchen to the cozy living area.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are setup in a way that provides both privacy and convenience. The master bathroom is integrated into the master bedroom. For added versatility, the second bathroom and bedroom are separated by a pocket door, creating a distinct and private space – an ideal setup for two families or couples traveling together. This thoughtful design ensures that everyone enjoys their own retreat, making your stay a perfect blend of togetherness and personal space.

Sunroom & Lanai

Girls' trip with our teen daughters
We loved our stay. Sandra provided beach chairs, wagon, shell sifters, etc. We felt so welcome in her home. Also, we loved that she had games, coffee and condiments in the fridge. Her place was so cute with nice beachy decorations.

Fantastic property for a vacation
My family and I stayed in Englewood for 5 days at this property. Very clean and nicely laid out home with everything we needed. The fenced in yard was wonderful for the two children to run around. Chairs, umbrellas and beach toys available for the beach and a wagon for walking around the quiet neighborhood. Would definitely come back. Great host also!

Amazing!
This place exceeded my already high expectations! The neighborhood is quiet, relaxing and just a short drive or bike ride from everything we wanted to do during our stay. The house is absolutely gorgeous! The space was perfect for our family of 4 whether we wanted to all hang out together or needed a little time apart after a long day at the beach! The owners were very quick to respond with any questions or concerns we had during our stay. I highly recommend this property for your stay in Englewood!

Relaxing and fun!
We really enjoyed our stay the home was beautifully decorated, very clean and organized with a lovely quiet backyard. Birds meet you singing in the morning with a lovely back porch, fire pit, grill and chairs. Every touch and need has been considered! Just minutes from the beach, restaurants and stores. All the beach gear you need is furnished. Be sure to check out Mama’s Italian and Lock n Key restaurants while visiting. Our hosts were very responsive, we felt like home while visiting the area. We are thankful and will be back again!

Simply amazing
From the moment we stepped into the rental we felt right at home. It was super clean, open and fresh. So welcoming! The home had everything we could have thought of and more! The bikes were an additional bonus so half of us could use them to run to the beach when the others were busy with a scuba dive. Sandra was so accommodating and gave so many great recommendations for the area and even provided bike locks the next day to make sure we could keep them safe when traveling around. We would love to come back and stay again! Fantastic area and incredible home with spectacular hosts! 10/10 from us! You’ll love it!

Ladies Retreat
What a delightful place! My daughter joined me for a girls night and we loved the beach theme. Well appointed kitchen, roomy and comfortable throughout the home. The backyard has a nice privacy fence and a beautiful Bottle Brush Tree. Our host quickly responded to my questions. I highly recommend this location, which is minutes from the coast.
