From this beautifully updated 1504 sq foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath end-unit villa, you wake to that glow each morning. And while the bay lies just a short stroll from your door—where dolphins and manatees grace the shoreline—the sense of tranquility begins the moment you step inside your villa. Welcome to your story at Windward Bay, Loved for 33 Years, Transformed for the Next Chapter! Brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring stretches throughout the living spaces. Custom White wooden plantation shutters open like pages of a book, revealing light-filled rooms, a bright inviting great room and a refreshed kitchen where new soft-closing cabinetry meets the timeless richness of granite countertops. Being a corner end unit means privacy, extra windows, and the kind of natural light you feel more than you see. The great room spills out to your private outdoor patio—perfect for morning coffee, late lunches, or evening breezes. And as evening arrives, simply walk across the street. The Gulf paints the sky in gold and coral, offering unforgettable sunsets that become a treasured part of your daily rhythm. This home offers peace of mind along with beauty.

No inconvenience. Just the freedom of ground-level coastal life. Here, maintenance-free living means all the big things are already done: the entire exterior was upgraded in 2020 with hurricane-impact windows, hurricane-impact sliding doors, and a new roof. “Pet Friendly” Windward Bay is one of Longboat Key’s most beloved waterfront communities—known for its mature landscaping, resort-style amenities, and genuine sense of warmth.
