Featured Listings

Most people think they're buying a beach property. What they're really buying is the ability to walk away from stress.

Welcome to Live Oak Landings on Manasota Key, offered turnkey furnished and ready the moment you cross the bridge, where the coastal lifestyle you've imagined finally becomes real. Positioned between Lemon Bay and the Gulf's sugar sand beaches, this updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhome with a versatile loft offers Gulf-to-bay views and an island lifestyle buyers dream about but rarely find at this price, just steps from the beach.

Inside, approximately 1,357 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space feels both comfortable and inviting. The open living and dining areas flow naturally together, while the spacious loft adds the flexibility today's buyers value. Complete with a Murphy bed and office space, it easily serves as a guest retreat, home office, hobby room, media room, or additional sleeping area. Natural light fills the home, creating a bright coastal atmosphere that perfectly complements the relaxed island setting.

Step outside to your private screened lanai, where Gulf-to-bay views and tropical breezes invite you to slow down. This fully roofed and screened outdoor living space was a $15,000 upgrade, creating a private, weather-protected retreat for year-round enjoyment.

What truly separates this property is its location. Live Oak Landings sits directly on Lemon Bay with a heated community pool, common-use docks, and easy water access, while Englewood Beach is just across the street. Imagine morning walks on the beach, afternoons by the pool, waterfront dining nearby, and spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets only steps from your door.

This is not a property that's changed hands repeatedly. The sellers are the original owners of Unit #12, having contracted for its construction in 2000-2001, and their pride of ownership shows throughout. During construction, they invested more than $50,000 in architectural and contractor upgrades beyond the builder's standard specifications. They later replaced every original window and all three sliding glass doors with hurricane-impact glass, a $25,000 investment providing added protection and energy efficiency.

The community has also completed significant capital improvements. All sloped metal roofs were replaced in 2023 with an updated roofing system backed by a 30-year warranty. The Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) requirements have been completed and approved, providing confidence in the community's long-term planning. This fall, all landscaping and extended fencing throughout the community will be replaced and enhanced with no special assessment to owners. The common-use docks on Lemon Bay are scheduled for replacement in 2026, and Unit #12's share has already been fully paid, with no fees required to enjoy the community docks.

Whether you're looking for a full-time home, seasonal getaway, or investment property, this turnkey townhome offers outstanding flexibility and strong seasonal or annual rental potential.

Manasota Key continues to attract buyers seeking authentic Florida waterfront living. Updated bayfront townhomes with Gulf-to-bay views, beach access just steps away, extensive owner upgrades, and completed community improvements are increasingly rare.

People come to Manasota Key for a vacation. Many wish they never had to leave. Now, you don't have to.
