We designed and built the home for family and friends to getaway and unwind in a tropical location, yet close to home in Sarasota Florida. The house faces west for spectacular sunsets. You are surrounded by pristine glassy green gulf boating and swimming water & the best gulf and bay fishing on the west coast of Florida. You will have use of 4 stand up paddle boards, 2 double person kayaks, 2 children's kayaks and a canoe. We also have a large variety of beach toys, rafts and floats. Wildlife - During a typical stay you will see dolphins playing off the beach, manatees often, tarpon, sea turtles and a large array of gulf coast fish. For bird lovers you will see and hear osprey, great horned owls, pileated woodpeckers, great blue herons, egrets, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, screech owls, white and brown pelicans, frigates, cormorants, anhingas and many other sea birds. There are no poisonous snakes or other dangerous wildlife on island. Fishing - Fly and cast fishing is epic as the waters surrounding the island are nick-names by the locals as "The Kitchen" - and are teeming with gulf coast fish. Beach-combing is also wonderful on property and along the sandbar. Exploring our private island is fun for all. The kids will enjoy the 200' Zip line.
