Sarasota Featured Photo - Sarasota Bayfront

Downtown Sarasota Sailboat Scenery on Sarasota Bay

Sarasota Florida Bayfront - Sailboat Scenery

Driving on Hwy 41, the Tamiami Trail, past Sarasota's beautiful bayfront is a breathtaking experience. Sometimes I wonder if any of the boats ever move as they seem to be just moored in their spot for all Sarasotans and visitors to enjoy. Across from this beautiful sailboat view, residents of Sarasota's downtown bayfront condos get to enjoy the view 24-7, walk to the marina or take a walk around the park, home to the Dolphin fountain.

Casey Key Real Estate - Private Island Nokomis, Florida

Waterfront Neighborhood on Casey Key

325 Casey Key is located on the south end of Casey Key. From the glass walled family room yesterday, I watched a blue heron off and on for two hours as he drank from a bucket in a neighbor's yard. Mr. Heron strolled across the yard of 325 Casey Key as if it was his private estate. The waves were smashing on the beach in the distance as Palm Sunday visitors strolled along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Heron spends his day enjoying Palm Sunday's visitors at Casey Key's private beach.

This small cottage of 892 sq.ft. is priced at $1,750,000 after a price reduction. Want the sand in your shoes? Sensatonal Sunset on Casey Key, Nokomis Florida
This is the spot to enjoy private sensational sunsets and the lowest priced Gulf home on Casey Key. If you need something larger, current Sarasota MLS listings report 47 homes on the Casey Key market. Prices from the low millions to $20 million. Some of the smaller beach cottages have been purchased for the land value alone. New owners quickly replace with mega mansions.
