Picture yourself sipping an evening cocktail on the front patio while the sun sets, or strolling down Bayview Drive to take in the sights over Sarasota Bay and Longboat Pass.

The metal roof (2012) provides long-lasting durability. An interior laundry and storage room, plus a spacious shed with electricity (contents included), add everyday convenience. Less then 2 miles from the sandy beaches of Anna Maria Island, beat the traffic or ride your bike!
