Annual rental! This first floor condo has THE best location in all of Longboat Harbour. With unobstructed million-dollar views of Sarasota Bay, Longboat Harbour is one of the few gated properties on the island and is a beach-to-bay property. Watch the wildlife in the bay just out your back door or go across the street to your privately deeded beach on the Gulf. This condo community has it all: four property pools, club house with workout room, sauna, locker rooms, billiards, library, meeting room, art studio, wood shop, shuffleboard, putting green, kayak storage, kayak launch, boat docks, fishing pier, fish cleaning station, gas BBQs, and tennis/pickle ball courts. Inside, you will find 2 bedrooms (one with unobstructed water view) & 2 bathrooms. Most mornings, the water is like glass, and you can see every disturbance from dolphins, manatee, or jumping fish. You can watch swans swim next to the mangrove island a short distance away. At sunrise, every room is filled with natural light from the east. The gated beach property across the street from Longboat Harbour has parking, rest rooms, outdoor showers, chair storage, and a car wash area. Luckily, the storm surge from neither Helene nor Milton reached any of the residential buildings in the Longboat Harbor community, so no water entered this unit. Longboat Key itself has a dozen great restaurants, Publix grocery store, golf courses, banks, post office, Ace hardware, parks, churches, and several small shopping centers. Five miles to the south is St. Armand’s Circle and Lido Key, with many beaches, shops and restaurants.
