TOTAL PEACE OF MIND INCLUDED! NEW KITCHEN! NEW FLOORING! NEW A/C! NEW WATER HEATER! BEACH ACCESS & RESORT-STYLE AMENITIES! ZERO COMPROMISES! Nestled within the sought-after waterfront community of Windward Bay, this beautifully renovated corner villa places you just steps from the Gulf of Mexico and just steps from Sarasota Bay. Privately situated as an end-unit residence, this light-filled villa benefits from additional windows, enhanced privacy, and a bright, airy atmosphere that immediately feels like home. At the heart of the home, the completely renovated kitchen showcases beautiful new cabinetry, an inviting functional design, and a full suite of brand-new appliances. Two different finishes of porcelain plank tile flooring extend throughout the entire residence, creating a seamless coastal aesthetic that is both stylish and durable. The spacious living and dining areas flow comfortably for everyday living and entertaining, while the private outdoor patio offers the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply relax in the gentle island breeze. Beyond the cosmetic improvements, this villa delivers exceptional value through major mechanical upgrades already completed. A new air-conditioning system and new water heater provide years of worry-free ownership and are backed by a transferable 10-year parts and service warranty. Even better, ownership includes two annual air-conditioning service visits, providing convenience and additional peace of mind. Living on the ground floor means easy access with no stairs or elevators to navigate and convenient parking just outside your door. Whether returning from the beach, enjoying a neighborhood walk, or unloading groceries, everyday living feels simple and carefree. The community itself has already completed significant Villa improvements, including hurricane-impact windows, hurricane-impact sliding glass doors, and a newer roof installed in 2020, offering both protection and confidence for years to come. Spread across 26 lushly landscaped waterfront acres, Windward Bay offers an impressive collection of resort-style amenities. Residents enjoy three beach access points, including one private deeded, a scenic half-mile walking trail, two heated swimming pools, fitness center, saunas, clubhouse, tennis courts, pickleball courts, kayak launches, covered parking, storage areas, and boat docks available by waitlist. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of wildlife that calls Windward Bay home. Dolphins, manatees, wading birds, and native coastal species are frequent sightings throughout the community's waterfront setting, creating a peaceful connection to the natural beauty of Sarasota Bay. Adding to its appeal, Windward Bay is pet-friendly, financially sound, and has successfully completed both its Milestone Inspection and Capital Reserve Study. Monthly fees have remained remarkably stable, reflecting responsible stewardship and strong long-term planning. Located near the center of Longboat Key, residents enjoy convenient access to St. Armands Circle, Downtown Sarasota, Bridge Street, championship golf courses, waterfront restaurants, boutique shopping, marinas, and the world-class arts and cultural venues that define Florida's Gulf Coast lifestyle. Modern updates, major system replacements, extensive community amenities, and an unbeatable location all come together in one exceptional island retreat. Villa 11, where every day feels like a vacation!
