Luxury Island Living on Longboat Key

Along the sparkling shores of the Gulf of Mexico are the keys that make up the barrier islands of Sarasota. Longboat Key, which spans Sarasota and Manatee counties, has become a treasured destination for both residents and visitors who demand a certain level of sophistication, relaxation, and prestige. Surrounded by bay and gulf waters, it is world-renowned for its tropical beauty, outstanding golf and tennis clubs, fine dining and more than ten miles of pristine beaches kissed by azure tides.

Gulf of Mexico Drive is an address that reflects the enviable cachet of properties that line this single road that traverses the entire island. Lush landscapes frame postcard-worthy views of magnificent homes, luxury condominiums, two championship golf courses, and stretches of the unmatched beauty of the island. There are many exclusive communities that line the gulf and bay of the Key, but I have a special place in my heart for my own home at Bay Isles.

As a resident of Bay Isles, I know first-hand the comfort and beauty that comes with a home designed for the luxury lifestyle and upscale island living experience. As a Realtor, I represent buyers and sellers throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties, but with so much ‘insider’ knowledge to offer, luxury properties on Longboat Key and at Bay Isles are a specialty. 

Located beyond the gates of the exclusive Longboat Key Club are the neighborhoods of Bay Isles made up of single family homes, grand estates, and condominiums, nestled among nature trails and tropical landscaping. When you live there, the nearby Harbourside Golf Course, The Longboat Key Club Tennis Gardens, the private Bay Isles Beach Club, and the world-class Longboat Key Moorings Marina are your playground, and beautiful beaches your retreat.

The homes on Longboat Key range in style and price from the quaint old Florida bungalows to the grand estates like the waterfront mansion called “Villa de Como.” One of my listings, the home has been featured on HGTV and sits on close to an acre of land on the north end of the Key.

Work on the new St. Regis resort and condominiums began recently, and when completed, this will be the only 5-Star resort on the West Coast of Florida!  I am excited to watch this develop and will keep you updated.
