This attractive and charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa has a bright open floor plan with a west facing lanai that seamlessly connects with the spacious great room.
Located in popular Baywood Colony Villas, it is just minutes from Siesta Key beaches, a few blocks of historic Phillippi Estate Park and 20 minutes driving time to cultural downtown Sarasota. The Baywood Colony Villas clubhouse is across the street and has a beautiful pool where you can refresh and socialize with other Baywood Colony Villas residents.
You will enjoy lush garden views from your lanai window. A few steps across the street will take you by the fountain to the seawall where you can sit and enjoy spectacular sunset views or stroll along the seawall walkway on the intracoastal waterway.
You have access to the intracoastal waterway with a private kayak launch at the seawall. You can even use a lightweight 2-person kayak owned by the landlords who live next to the fountain. Everything is ready for you for exceptional coastal living.
Lease is for a minimum of 12 months. The renter is responsible for electricity and internet.
