Step into a sweet slice of old-Florida charm with this lovingly updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath “grandma beach house”–inspired waterfront condo on Whitaker Bayou—where everything feels a little softer, slower, and sun-kissed. With gentle bay breezes drifting in and direct boating access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf, this cozy retreat is perfect for morning coffee by the water, afternoon boat rides, and sunset unwinding just like the good old days. Tucked just minutes from downtown Sarasota, you’re close to sandy Gulf beaches and beloved local gems like The Ringling Museum and College, The Van Wezel, and the Sarasota/ Bradenton International Airport—yet the home itself feels like a peaceful, tucked-away hideout. Inside, the space is bright and welcoming with an easy, open layout that flows from kitchen to dining to living—ideal for hosting family dinners or quiet nights in. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with modern touches, while still leaving room for that nostalgic, homey feel—imagine fresh flowers on the counter, vintage dishware in the cabinets, and sunlight pouring in. Updated bathrooms, new flooring, and in-unit laundry add everyday comfort without losing the charm. The private screened-in lanai is the heart of the home—a perfect perch for rocking chairs, iced tea, and watching the water drift by. This condo comes furnished with a cozy, coastal cottage aesthetic (think soft linens, light woods, and collected treasures), but can also be offered unfurnished if preferred. Community amenities include: • Deeded boat dock for easy days on the water at NO additional charge • A charming, bayou-front pool perfect for lazy afternoons • Secure under-building garage parking • Private storage for your beach gear and extras • Elevator access for convenience • Guest parking for visiting friends and family This is the kind of place that feels like it’s been in the family for years—in the best way. Perfect for students, boaters, long term renters, or anyone craving a relaxed, nostalgic Sarasota waterfront lifestyle with a touch of grandma’s timeless coastal charm. 1 small dog permitted with a $25 monthly fee.
