Welcome to the time of your life! This is what you have been waiting for - a place in the sunshine and sand for you, family and friends to enjoy life and each other! Your days start with morning walks on the beach, coffee on your deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and lunch under your beachside gazebo. It doesn't get any better than that until the afternoon when you walk down your bayside dock and get in your boat to enjoy the Intracoastal Waterway down Lemon Bay and into the Gulf. The natural dolphin shows never get old and manatee sightings are always fun. The fisherman will be busy with the world class fishing both inshore and offshore while the beach lovers can choose from any number of remote and beautiful shorelines to collect shells, swim or just relax and read a book. There are many restaurants offering delicious fare and daily entertainment that you can access by land or sea. Englewood's Dearborn Street is right across Lemon Bay and more shops and restaurants are a short drive down the gorgeous Canopy Road at Englewood Beach. Venice is a short ride to the north or you can drive into Sarasota for an evening at the theater or the opera. When la vida pura begins to call your name and you want to enjoy it in the most beautiful of locations, know that this is it! Located on one of the widest parts of Manasota Key Beach, this rarely available GULF TO BAY property is turn key and ready for you!
