About this home
YOUR SUNRISE SANCTUARY! YOUR SUNSET ESCAPE! An End Unit Villa—Steps From Both Shores! There’s a moment just before sunrise—when soft light touches the bay and the world feels brand new. From this beautifully updated 1504 sq foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath end-unit villa, you wake to that glow each morning. And while the bay lies just a short stroll from your door—where dolphins and manatees grace the shoreline—the sense of tranquility begins the moment you step inside your villa. Welcome to your story at Windward Bay, Loved for 33 Years, Transformed for the Next Chapter! Brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring stretches throughout the living spaces. Custom White wooden plantation shutters open like pages of a book, revealing light-filled rooms, a bright inviting great room and a refreshed kitchen where new soft-closing cabinetry meets the timeless richness of granite countertops. Being a corner end unit means privacy, extra windows, and the kind of natural light you feel more than you see. The great room spills out to your private outdoor patio—perfect for morning coffee, late lunches, or evening breezes. And as evening arrives, simply walk across the street. The Gulf paints the sky in gold and coral, offering unforgettable sunsets that become a treasured part of your daily rhythm. This home offers peace of mind along with beauty. It’s a place where you can truly exhale. This is effortless, maintenance-free living, where parking sits mere steps from your door and bringing in groceries is a breeze. No elevators. No stairs. No inconvenience. Just the freedom of ground-level coastal life. Here, maintenance-free living means all the big things are already done: the entire exterior was upgraded in 2020 with hurricane-impact windows, hurricane-impact sliding doors, and a new roof. "Pet Friendly" Windward Bay is one of Longboat Key's most beloved waterfront communities—known for its mature landscaping, resort-style amenities, and genuine sense of warmth. People don't just move here; they stay here. In fact, the current owner of this villa has lived here for 33 years, a testament to the comfort, community, and connection the neighborhood provides. Windward Bay isn't just a place to live. It's a place to belong. Spanning 26 lush acres, the community offers three beach access points, a 1/2-mile nature trail, two heated pools, fitness center, sauna, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, kayak launches, boat docks (waitlist), covered parking, and storage. Wildlife is abundant throughout the property, adding magic to everyday life. Financially strong, Windward Bay has completed its Milestone Inspection and Capital Reserve Study. Monthly fees were reduced in 2025 and increased only $13 for 2026. With Downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, Bridge Street, renowned restaurants, championship golf, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions just minutes away, you're perfectly positioned between quiet island tranquility and vibrant coastal life.
