This spacious waterfront villa lives like a single-family home yet offers the ease of maintenance-free living! Enjoy breathtaking Sarasota Bay and canal views from this 1,900 sq. ft. residence—the largest in the community. Thoughtfully designed, it features a waterfront great room, two generously sized bedrooms, two beautifully updated bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room that can serve as a third bedroom, home office, or private in-law/nanny suite with its own exterior entrance. The open-concept kitchen overlooks the great room and boasts quartz counters, abundant cabinetry, new stainless-steel appliances, and ample workspace. A separate, oversized laundry room with newer full-sized machines even offers the potential to add a third bathroom. The waterfront Florida room and private patio are perfect for grilling the catch of the day, dining under the stars, or watching manatees and dolphins swim by. Inside, an attractive neutral palette, easy-care luxury vinyl plank flooring (no carpet), and hurricane-impact windows provide both comfort and peace of mind. The attached covered carport allows easy access for groceries and luggage. Windward Bay offers exceptional resort-style amenities: two heated pools with complimentary chaises, saunas, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, shuffleboard, boat slips ($45/month or $50/month with an owner-supplied lift), kayaking and paddleboarding (storage/launches $35/year), fishing, and three deeded beach accesses. Stroll or bike through 26 acres of professionally landscaped bayfront grounds, or head across the street to Zota Beach Resort for fine dining and sunset cocktails. This proactive community has passed its structural integrity inspection and is certified for another ten years. Owners may rent twice per year with a one-month minimum and no ownership waiting period—ideal for generating income while enjoying a peaceful coastal lifestyle. Exceptionally pet-friendly, Windward Bay welcomes two large pets up to 75 lbs each, with pet comfort stations throughout the property. Even Renters can have pets…a uniquely appealing feature for those seeking rental income. Seize this rare opportunity to own a tranquil island haven that combines space, style, and simplicity in a paradise-like setting. What could be better? It could be yours!
