Perched among the treetops in the beloved Sandy Cove community on Siesta Key, this beautifully renovated 2BR/2BA residence offers a rare blend of privacy, charm and authentic island living. With 1,200+/- sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed space and three private balconies, life here feels like a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, where sunlight filters through the trees and the gentle sounds of the island become part of every day. Inside, the residence has been fully updated with a relaxed tropical style that feels both fresh and welcoming. The open floor plan centers around a spacious waterfall quartz island that anchors the kitchen and living areas, creating a natural gathering place for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Large sliding doors open to the balconies, extending the living space outdoors and welcoming in the Gulf breezes. Morning sunrises fill the residence with soft light, creating an airy atmosphere as the trees rustle just beyond the windows. From the balconies, it is common to see mourning doves, egrets and osprey gliding overhead, with the occasional eagle soaring past. The primary suite features his-and-her closets and private balcony access, while the guest bedroom and bath provide comfortable accommodations for family or visitors. All sliders and windows come with custom room darkening shades. The unit also offers reserved covered parking, assigned storage unit, inside mail room and secured door code entry. The HOA covers sewer, water, pest control, trash, lounge chairs, umbrellas and tables at the pool and beach, and one Gig of fiber optic Internet. The stroll to the waterfront is part of the experience itself. A winding path lined with banyan and palm trees leads to Sandy Cove’s private Gulf-front lawn and beach area. When you turn the corner and the Gulf opens before you, the moment feels almost surreal, like you have just arrived in paradise. Located within Sandy Cove, a distinctive Old Florida community designed by Sarasota School of Architecture master Frank Folsom Smith, residents enjoy private beach access, kayak and paddleboard storage, clubhouse for entertaining, fishing pier and a quaint beach area with chairs and tables to relax, read a book, chat with friends and watch the dolphins play while enjoying magnificent sunsets and panoramic Gulf views that capture the timeless spirit of the island. Ideally positioned on the north end of Siesta Key, Sandy Cove IV sits just a short walk or bike ride from Siesta Key Village, where you can spend the afternoon browsing boutiques, enjoying fresh seafood and vibrant dining, catching live music drifting from open-air patios or simply taking in the laid-back rhythm that makes the Key such a beloved destination befitting its world-famous beach. Here, the feeling is unmistakable. The breeze, the water and the view become your own sanctuary, a place where it quietly feels like vacation is always waiting just outside your door.
