About the host
Hosted by Joanna Donahue Soleil
I bought and renovated this 1952 classic Florida Ranch 5 years ago. I live in Massachusetts and someday I hope to spend winters in this sweet and beautiful beach community. Since buying this house we have redone the roof, windows, walls, kitchen and bathroom. We recently redid the pool deck and resurfaced the pool, put in a private outdoor shower. We are continuing to improve the landscaping. Until we are able to move there part time, we are renting it to people who perhaps want something different than the standard condo.
Why they chose this property
I first visited Longboat Key over 30 years ago and fell in love with the island. The street ends on the intercostal so there is very little traffic. The neighborhood is clean, friendly, and properties are well maintained. This house is 400 steps to a long beautiful private Gulf beach. Duarante Park is two blocks away. It has walking paths, kayak put-in and great sunrises. Some days you can spot manatees and dolphins in the canals. If you have a well mannered dog, he/she can come too. The back yard is fenced.
What makes this property unique
Private pool with palm trees, grilling area, outdoor shower (hot and cold water) and nearby private beach.
