Property Description
Tucked along the quiet edge of the key, where the water gently meets the shoreline and wildlife drifts by with the tide, this easily accessible residence offers something increasingly hard to find: effortless coastal living with the comfort and privacy of a home. Here, your day begins without elevators or long corridors. You simply pull up, step inside, and settle into a space designed for ease. Groceries are carried in with ease, morning coffee is enjoyed on your lanai, and just beyond, a nearly private lawn stretches out like your own backyard retreat. Only sixty feet away, the tranquil waters of Cranes Bayou create a breathtaking backdrop along with the Sarasota Bay. From your windows and lanai, the view feels intimate and serene as dolphins surface in the distance, manatees glide through calm waters, and coastal birds fill the sky. Just outside, an eagle’s nest tucked within a Spanish pine offers a daily reminder that nature is not something you visit here; it’s something you live beside. The lifestyle extends beyond the view. A deeded private walkway leads you directly to the soft sands of the beach, inviting spontaneous sunset strolls, morning shell hunts, and afternoons spent with your toes in the sand. For boaters, a private slip just steps from your front door makes life on the water feel effortless, ready for quiet cruises or sunset rides along the coast. Recently refreshed with a 2025 community pool upgrade and lush landscaping, the setting feels nature-filled with peacefulness. Inside, the residence reflects a thoughtful balance of high-end furnishings, warm textures, and a blend of contemporary design and classic Old-Florida charm, creating a space that feels both elevated and inviting. Carefully curated lighting, including modern fixtures and Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired sconces, lets you shape the atmosphere, whether you're hosting friends, unwinding with a book, or enjoying a quiet evening at home. This is more than a seasonal escape; it’s a place where mornings feel slower, evenings feel softer, and everyday moments carry the calm of island living. For those looking for a coastal rental that blends privacy, tranquility, and a seamless connection to the water, this inviting retreat delivers an island lifestyle you’ll appreciate the moment you step inside. ANNUAL RATE $4,000 / month. SEASONAL RATE $6,500 / month.
