Exactly what I was looking for!
“I searched long and hard for the right place for a week's stay, and Gulfside Beach Club checked all the boxes. A collection of clean, quiet 1 bedroom units along the beach (4 other "different" units not on the beach), providing a beautiful view of the gulf from the patio and only 75 feet to the sandy shore.

The manager Karen and staff were beyond friendly and helpful. Funny, when getting to know the super pleasant "regulars" — the immediate question was "How did you find it?" (not on 3rd party sites) quickly followed by the comment "Don't tell anyone". My apologies for sharing the "secret" here ;-)”

Best Managed Vacation Condos in Florida
My wife and I spent our honeymoon 46 years ago on Casey Key Florida. We have been returning on vacation from Canada’s winter pretty well every year. Sometimes twice now, November and April. I have to tell you that we have had the good fortune to stay in five star hotels over the years. We have experienced good and bad management. To date far and above all places visited world wide the manager at Gulfside is the best we have encountered. Her attention to detail all around the facility is above and beyond. She definitely cares for the property and her clients. We have been coming to Casey Key all our lives and more recently over the past 8 years to Karen’s facility. I wish we had started earlier but we waited our turn in line to get on the limited reservation…

Myakka River State Park
The cries of limpkins and osprey pierce the air while alligators and turtles sun lazily on logs and riverbanks. This is the Myakka River, Florida’s first state-designated wild and scenic river, and it flows through a vast expanse of unspoiled wetlands, prairies, hammocks, and pinelands that make up Myakka River State Park.
Boating, fishing, canoeing and kayaking are popular activities on the water while hikers and bicyclists explore miles of trails and backroads.
Ringling Museum of Art

Myakka River State Park
The Ringling is home to one of the preeminent art and cultural collections in the United States. Its story begins nearly a century ago, with the circus impresario, John Ringling and his beloved wife’s shared love for Sarasota, Italy, and art.
John opened the Museum of Art to the public in 1931, saying he hoped it would “promote education and art appreciation, especially among our young people.” Five years later, Ringling bequeathed it to the people of Florida.
