Tropical TreeHouse w PRIVATE POOL next to Anna Maria Island! in Sarasota

Only 15 miles north of Sarasota! Enjoy the best of both worlds: less than a mile to the beach, with none of the traffic hassles of living on the Island.

It's a TreeHouse! All the living space is upstairs, and downstairs is a finished bonus area with a wall of pocket sliders to the pool deck. Relax in this lovely, light-filled 3-bedroom/2-bath/2-car garage/2-story home in the picture-postcard, gated neighborhood of Harbour Landings. An immaculate townhouse-style retreat in the treetops, surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping (oleanders, coconut palms, hibiscus, birds of paradise, even banana trees!) Attached to only 1 other residence, with abundant privacy from the neighbors. Enjoy the PERSONAL heated pool and in-ground spa (for this home only) and also the heated community pool, clubhouse with fitness center, and the tennis court, all amenities just around the corner.

*** KID-FRIENDLY! We have a built-in "kiddie pool" and also a "baby barrier" pool safety fence. ***

Our gourmet kitchen is a delight, even if you're taking a vacation from cooking! Propane BBQ on the balcony overlooking our PERSONAL pool and spa in the 2-story lanai. Master suite has a queen bed, walk-in closet, jacuzzi tub. Second bedroom has a queen bed, and third bedroom has twin beds, but a queen can be substituted.

Less than 1 mile to the sugar-sand beaches of world-famous Anna Maria Island. Close to dining, shopping, boating, jet skiing, fishing, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, para-sailing. Golf and tennis are nearby, too! Stroll to the Seafood Shack or Pelican Pete's. The Island is walking or biking distance, just over the Cortez Bridge.
