The private lifestyle afforded by Longboat Key is perhaps the biggest selling point, along with the many amenities that are packed onto this rather small island. There are two golf courses, tennis courts, and much more for locals to enjoy throughout the year.
Beach – You can’t really get closer to living on the beach than buying a property on Longboat Key. As a resident, you’ll enjoy that many of the beach areas are private, leaving them far less crowded that the beaches that are open to tourists.
Privacy goes both ways, and some potential buyers might prefer to be in a location with a livelier, busier feel. That’s a matter of personal preference, so you’ll have to decide for yourself what kind of environment you’d like to experience near your home.
Beyond the outdoor activities like golf, tennis, and spending time on the beach, residents can also make the short trip to the south for shopping, dining, and more on Lido Key and Saint Armands. And, Sarasota and the rest of the St. Petersburg/Tampa area is never far away.
