This corner unit 2bedroom/2bath, maintenance free villa with water access to Phillippi Creek is perfect for enjoying the 55+ lifestyle community in Sarasota, Florida. The villa is located just minutes from the world-famous Siesta Key beaches and features a community dock for your boat (optional fees apply), which grants access to the inter-coastal highway and the gulf. Recreations include the club house, boat club, pool, workout center and many social events and clubs. This well taken care villa has a combination of tile and carpet throughout with great views of the mature landscaping and live oak trees around the property. The happy community life offered at SRV centers around the clubhouse. In the main building, a huge party-game -meeting room is equipped with card tables and has its own complete kitchen. If you enjoy entertaining, but prefer not to involve your own home, this is the ideal spot. Poolside parties are easily accommodated, too. One whole wall of the principal room consists of sliding glass doors that open to a wide terraced pool deck overlooking the canal. Directly to the side of the clubhouse a stairway leads down to the boat basin, with direct access to over 4000 feet of protected sea walled canal and docking for residents' boats. From here the way is open to the intracoastal-waterway, the bay and gulf. Amenities include heated pool, shuffleboard courts, an annual shuffleboard tournament followed by an awards luncheon, male and female saunas & showers, billiard room, fitness center, card & meeting rooms and full service kitchen for parties. They have golf, boating, arts and crafts groups, and cards 6 nights a week. All of these activities were pre Covid, but some have carried on despite it. The bus stops just outside our door, local shopping and restaurants are within 3 blocks. The community is 2+/- miles from Siesta Key and 6+ miles to downtown and the bay front with its great restaurants, little theaters, and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. Another great feature of this community is that 2 pets are welcome, including dogs.
