Luxury Beach Cottage Steps to Private Beach Access | House in Englewood
1 Bedroom House in Englewood
You turn off Gulf Blvd onto Friendship Lane and the world gets quiet. This is not a condo complex - it's a private beach lane of Old Florida cottages and newly rebuilt coastal homes, lined with palms, sea grapes, and sandy shell driveways.
65 Friendship Ln sits about 5 houses from the Gulf. From your front porch you can see the public beach access path at 30 Friendship Ln and hear the waves. No road to cross to get to the beach - you walk out your front door, 60-second stroll down the lane, through the dune crossover, and your feet are in white sand. This is one of the most private beach accesses on all of Manasota Key - used mostly by locals on Friendship Ln, not tourists.
Exterior - New Coastal Luxury:
Post-Hurricane Milton rebuild/renovation style that defines the new Manasota Key - elevated, bright, resilient.
Bright white board-and-batten or coastal stucco exterior with natural wood accents and black-framed impact windows. Standing seam metal roof in soft white, with a large covered front porch featuring a faint blue ceiling, ceiling fan, and 4 Adirondack chairs.
Private sandy-shell driveway with room for 2-3 cars + golf cart, outdoor shower with hot/cold water enclosed in natural wood for rinsing sand, and lush but low-maintenance tropical landscaping - Areca palms, sea grapes, and dune sunflowers.
Private fenced side yard with charcoal grill, string lights, and space for beach games. Because you're on a lane, not Gulf Blvd, there is zero traffic noise - just wind and waves.
Interior - Open, Light, Luxury Beach Cottage:
You step inside to an open, vaulted great room designed to feel like a high-end beach house, not a rental.
Great Room - Living / Dining / Kitchen:
Light European sandy luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Vaulted ceiling with tongue-and-groove white shiplap and exposed wood beams, large coastal ceiling fan.
Walls are bright white with natural wood accents. The entire back wall facing the beach access is glass - sliding doors that open to your covered lanai, bringing the outside in.
Living: Low-profile performance linen sofa in warm white, two woven accent chairs, jute rug, reclaimed teak coffee table, and a 65" Frame TV displaying art. The furniture is low so your eye goes straight down Friendship Lane to the Gulf glimpses between cottages.
Dining: Solid wood dining table for 6 with woven bench and chairs, rattan pendant light overhead - perfect for family dinners after the beach.
Chef's Kitchen - Gulf-Side:
Gourmet beach kitchen - white shaker cabinets to ceiling, quartz countertops with waterfall edge island, gold bar pulls, and Zellige-style backsplash in seafoam.
Large island with seating for 3-4. Stainless appliances - French-door fridge, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, and wine fridge. Fully stocked with white ceramic dishes, crystal wine glasses, Vitamix, Nespresso + drip coffee maker, and all cookware. Under-cabinet lighting and designer pendants.
Bedrooms - Coastal Suites
Primary - King with Private Access: King bed with luxury white linens, upholstered headboard, nightstands with brass reading lights and wireless chargers. Walk-in closet with built-ins, blackout linen drapes, and direct access to lanai. Quiet, dark, cool - AC works perfectly after Milton rebuilds.
Second Bedroom - Queen: Queen bed, perfect for kids or second couple, coastal quilt, large closet with extra beach towels and beach bags, Smart TV.
Third Bedroom / Bunk Room (if 3BR): Twin-over-twin bunks + twin trundle or Queen, ideal for shark tooth hunters and families.
Bathrooms - Spa Level:
2 full baths - Primary with walk-in tiled shower with frameless glass, dual rain heads, floating white oak vanity, quartz top, backlit mirror, Le Labo amenities. Second bath with tub/shower combo for kids, same luxury finishes. Heated floors, Turkish towels, robes.
Washer/dryer - full-size, private, in laundry closet with detergent.
Outdoor Living - Why Friendship Ln Wins:
Private Covered Lanai: Your living room extends outside - covered patio with ceiling fan, outdoor dining for 6, 2 zero-gravity loungers, and a gas fire pit table. String lights at night. You are surrounded by palms, not parking lots.
60-Second Beach Access: The private Friendship Lane beach access at 30 Friendship Ln is your beach. Wide, white sand, excellent shelling, world-famous shark tooth hunting, gentle swimming, and sunset every night. No public parking lot crowd here - this access is used by the 20 homes on Friendship Ln only.
Gear Included: Locked outdoor storage with 4 Yeti-style beach chairs, Tommy Bahama umbrella, beach wagon, 2 paddleboards/kayaks, sand toys, cooler, and beach towels.
Boat & Bay: 4-minute golf cart to Lemon Bay and Indian Mound Park for kayak launch, manatee watching, and fishing. Boat slips available at nearby marinas.
