Set along one of the most enchanting stretches of Longboat Key, this exceptional beachfront residence offers the quintessential Florida Gulf Coast escape. Perfectly positioned on one of the narrowest points of the island, the home enjoys rare beach-to-bay access, allowing guests to experience both serene Sarasota Bay sunrises and dazzling Gulf of Mexico sunsets. Surrounded by lush, manicured tropical landscaping, guests are immediately immersed in a tranquil, coastal atmosphere that embodies island living at its finest.
This residence is located in a charming and exclusive low-density community that radiates a sense of privacy and comfort. The sunshine-colored buildings are accented with palm tree-inspired railings and Bahama shutters, setting the tone for a warm and welcoming stay. Guests are invited to launch kayaks on the bay, watch seabirds along the shore, or simply spend the afternoon under a beach umbrella while the waves roll in gently from the Gulf.
Inside, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom second-floor retreat blends classic coastal style with updated, modern finishes. The open-concept living space is enhanced by large sliding glass doors that open to a private, screened-in patio. From here, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the Gulf and direct beach access via a spiral staircase—ideal for morning walks or starlit strolls along the shoreline.
The kitchen is well-equipped with granite countertops, updated appliances, and ample cabinetry for all your culinary needs. Whether preparing a casual breakfast or an elegant seafood dinner, this kitchen offers both function and flair. The open dining area and inviting living room are ideal for entertaining or unwinding after a day on the water. Both bedrooms feature king-sized beds, and the bathrooms are fully renovated—one of which offers spa-style touches for a luxurious retreat-like experience.
Entertainment needs are well covered, with flat-screen TVs in both the living room and master bedroom, as well as high-speed wireless internet and cable for streaming your favorite shows or catching up on the news. Thoughtfully designed for both short and extended stays, the home includes all the essentials—linens, beach towels, complimentary laundry facilities, and more.
Guests are also provided with access to a host of premium community amenities. Lounge by the heated pool, relax in the hot tub, or enjoy a sunset barbecue at the outdoor grilling area. The property includes shared boat docks, perfect for those bringing watercraft up to 26 feet, and private beach access complete with complimentary loungers and umbrellas for a perfect day at the shore.
In addition, guests will receive limited membership privileges to a nearby resort, granting access to Har-Tru tennis and pickleball courts, a junior Olympic heated pool, fitness center, fishing pier, and complimentary bicycles. It’s the perfect enhancement to an already luxurious beachfront experience.
