Considered one of the finest community owned marinas on Florida’s west coast, Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club is a premier waterfront community featuring a seven acre deep water boat basin and a lifestyle centered around the water. This exceptional 4,560 sq ft residence captures the essence of refined coastal living, blending modern updates with resort style amenities in one of Sarasota County’s most family friendly neighborhoods. Fully renovated just three years ago, the home offers five to six bedrooms including two primary suites and four full bathrooms, anchored by an expansive open concept layout designed for comfort and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen showcases a premium gas range, oversized island, and large pantry, opening seamlessly to the dining and living areas and extending outdoors to the covered lanai. The backyard is a private oasis with a heated saltwater pool and spa, perfect for relaxing or hosting gatherings. Upstairs, multiple balconies overlook the marina, while a versatile third floor retreat, currently a game room, offers panoramic waterway views. Residents of Southbay enjoy exclusive access to one of Florida’s most desirable community marinas, offering 172 slips accommodating vessels up to 55 feet, all within a protected deep water basin that maintains six feet at mean low tide, ideal for everything from kayaks to larger yachts. The community itself feels like a private resort, with a newly renovated clubhouse overlooking the marina, a geothermal heated pool, fitness center, ballroom, library, and social areas. Outdoor amenities include tennis, pickleball, bocce, basketball, and shuffleboard courts, walking and golf cart paths, and 20 acres of beautifully maintained green space. Ideally located between Sarasota and Venice, Southbay residents enjoy proximity to the pristine beaches of Siesta Key and Nokomis Beach, the Legacy Trail, Oscar Scherer State Park, waterfront dining, and boutique shopping. Families are especially drawn to this community for its welcoming atmosphere and access to Pine View School for the Gifted, ranked the number one school in Florida and among the top in the nation, with the school bus conveniently stopping at the clubhouse. With the anticipated reopening of Midnight Pass just five minutes away, residents will soon enjoy even more convenient direct boating access to the Gulf of Mexico. In Southbay, boating is more than a pastime, it’s a way of life, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, leisure, and community that perfectly defines Florida’s Gulf Coast living.
