Property Description

Unrivaled bayfront views, rare short-term rental flexibility, and now, a compelling new price—this is the Anna Maria Island opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Coastal Chic Meets Bayfront Serenity This is the one you've been waiting for. Nestled in the premier Runaway Bay community, this stunning 2BR/2BA ground-floor unit has been masterfully reimagined with a fresh, coastal-modern aesthetic that feels like a high-end boutique retreat. Fully turnkey and meticulously maintained, this home offers the rare trifecta of pond, fountain, and partial bay views right from your doorstep. The Modern Makeover: No detail was spared in this top-to-bottom renovation (2024-2025). From the moment you walk in, the space feels bright, airy, and effortlessly cool. Gourmet Kitchen: Sleek white shaker cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, a deep farmhouse-style sink, and a high-end stainless steel appliance package (including a French door fridge). Designer Flooring: Beautiful luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the living areas, offering durability without sacrificing style. Spa-Like Baths: Both bathrooms are fully modernized with custom tile work, walk-in glass showers, and contemporary black hardware. Infrastructure & Peace of Mind: Rest easy with a brand-new HVAC system and water heater. Outdoor Living & Island Life - Step out onto your private patio to watch the fountain dance on the lake or the Sea birds land on the bay. Alternatively, take a short stroll to the community's private fishing dock to catch the sunrise over Sarasota Bay. Beach Access: Enjoy two private, deeded beach access points - white sands and turquoise Gulf waters are just steps away. Award-Winning Amenities: Runaway Bay is home to the largest saltwater heated pool on Anna Maria Island, plus a recently renovated clubhouse, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, and a kayak launch. Turnkey Ready: Whether you're looking for a personal sanctuary, a seasonal getaway, or a high-performing investment (thanks to the 7-day minimum rental policy), this unit is truly "plug and play." With a professional furniture package included, the only thing missing is your suitcase. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of paradise in one of the island's most amenity-rich communities.
