Overview

Ideally positioned just minutes from the world-renowned shores of Siesta Key, this beautifully updated, turnkey-furnished villa offers an exceptional opportunity to own a low-maintenance coastal retreat at an approachable price point. Nestled within the waterfront community of Baywood Colony, this residence combines the ease of condominium/villa living with the privacy of a single-family home, perfect for seasonal enjoyment or effortless year-round escapes. Inside, the thoughtfully upgraded interior features luxury vinyl flooring, updated impact windows, updated kitchen with Quartz counter-tops, and a newer HVAC system (2023), creating a comfortable and move-in-ready environment. The spacious layout extends to an air-conditioned lanai and a private courtyard, ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach or entertaining guests in your own secluded outdoor space. Residents enjoy access to a serene waterfront park along Sarasota Bay, where sunset views, fishing, and coastal breezes become part of your daily routine, along with a community pool, clubhouse, and fitness amenities. With HOA coverage that includes flood and hurricane insurance, lawn maintenance, and your cable and water bills, ownership is truly carefree. Located approximately 2 miles from Siesta Key Beach and close to dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, this property presents a rare chance to secure an affordable slice of the Sarasota lifestyle, whether as a personal getaway, seasonal residence, or income-producing investment.
