The current owners have held #12 since 2000-01, the original owners since it was built, and that continuity shows in every decision. When built, they invested an extra $50,000 in architectural and contractor upgrades above the developer's base format. Later, they replaced every original window and all three sliders with hurricane-impact glass, a $25,000 investment giving today's buyer peace of mind. More recently, they had the back deck fully roofed and screened in, a $15,000 upgrade turning ordinary outdoor space into a private, weather-protected retreat with those same Gulf to bay views. That's over $90,000 in upgrades from owners who treated this home as their own permanent sanctuary, because it was.Whether seeking a full time residence, seasonal getaway, or investment, this property offers remarkable flexibility, and has been successfully positioned for both seasonal and annual rental demand.Manasota Key continues to attract buyers seeking authentic Florida living without the congestion of larger beach markets.

People come to Manasota Key for a vacation. Many wish they never had to leave. This is your chance to make that feeling permanent.
