Welcome to the PERFECT HOME for BEACH & BOAT LOVERS. From the moment you enter this open floor plan, light-filled, Beach to Bay Villa on Manasota Key, you will be amazed by the panoramic views of stunning Lemon Bay. Only steps from the water, you can watch the sunrise over the bridge to start your day. Then, enjoy an afternoon sunbathing or a cocktail or fire up your grill on your private patio while watching the dolphins and manatees pass by visiting the boat docks just outside your door. If you have a boat, there are 14 first come slips you can have moored right outside your patio door. Just about every type of bird the Gulf Coast of Florida has to offer passes by your windows each day. At night, you can watch the moon rise casting a brilliant light over the sparkling waters of the Bay. This rare waterfront property sits directly on the Bay offering you a peaceful piece of paradise in an Old Florida setting that is hard to find. The Villa is ground floor with no steps and your private carport just outside the front door. The carport is large, sufficient for storing a car over the summer, with extra storage above for Kayaks or bicycles. A short walk up the private drive leads you to a beautiful freshwater pool and clubhouse, and just across the road is the community’s private access to a wide, sandy beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Inside the Villa, the two bedrooms are separated from the living area for privacy with both full bathrooms completely renovated in 2021. Each bathroom has premium tiled showers with frameless glass doors and brand-new vanities, faucets, toilets, sinks and mirrors. The floors throughout have large, neutral tile and all the rooms are freshly painted in soothing neutral colors that complement the wide water views available throughout the property. The vaulted wood beam ceiling in the living area provides an open feel with lots of sunlight. A new A/C was installed in 2020, new light fixtures in the dining room and new ceiling fans in the living room and bedrooms create a refreshing background for this delightful beach getaway. The sunny kitchen has plentiful cabinet space and a new stainless steel GE Gemini double oven and microwave. You will be proud to entertain friends and family here for years to come, creating lifelong memories at the beach and fishing or boating on beautiful Lemon Bay.
