Tuck into any family feasts in the formal dining room, with a six-seater dining table next door to the glossy kitchen, which is decked out with high-end appliances and a dinette sitting before the deck. After a busy day at the parks, retreat to the master suite, fit for royalty with its king-sized bed, snug seating area, and large flat-screen TV. Step out into the pool area through the private entrance and start each morning with a peaceful swim. The en-suite bathroom is kitted out with a double vanity, a deep bubbling tub, and a plush walk-in shower. With two twin bedrooms and a second ensuite master suite with a queen-sized bed, there’s enough room for eight guests to spread out. Tuck into any family feasts in the formal dining room, with a six-seater dining table next door to the glossy kitchen, which is decked out with high-end appliances and a dinette overlooking the pool area.

Outside, a tropical oasis awaits, with a deck that sits directly under the sultry Florida sunshine and is backed by sweeping panoramas of the verdant palm-lined landscape. If dinner at sunset sounds like a dream, there’s an alfresco table set up and a barbecue grill if you fancy an all-American cookout. The glittering pool is the star of the show, fringed with loungers for lying back and topping up the tan. Perched on the chalky-white sands of Manasota Beach, you’re just a short hop from the beach here. Dip your toes in the sand or jump on a kayak for some coastal exploration. Next door is the charming town of Venice, with seafood shacks, upscale restaurants, ice cream parlours, and boutique shops spilling over the historical Main Street.
