$8,000 (September through December). This turn-key waterfront home with a 100+’ dock is ideal for the boating enthusiast. The west-facing property is tucked away on 135 feet of shoreline on the widest section of Blackburn Bay and showcases spectacular sunsets over Casey Key. The residence has a lovely screened pool and deck with a bay view framed by oaks, seagrapes and Florida friendly landscaping. Happy hour, anyone? It’s likely you’ll see manatees swimming around the dock and dolphins jumping in the bay, as well as, sea and shorebirds. There’s easy boat access to the Gulf of Mexico through the Venice Jetties under the Albee Bridge to the south and Big Pass in Sarasota Bay through the Blackburn Point swing bridge to the north. Dock at one of the many restaurants along the Intercoastal waterway. Take a short 5 mile trip by car to bustling and renewed downtown Venice to shop and dine, or travel 20 miles north to downtown Sarasota, the “cultural mecca of Florida.” Consider renting a golf cart for your stay! It’s only 3 miles on the back road to Nokomis Public Beach on pristine and exclusive Casey Key where shelling is bountiful and fun is guaranteed. 421 Waterside’s location is secluded and serene yet, quick access to grocery stores, pharmacies, retail, hospital and gas.
