Sanctuary Cove's unique channel lock system helps maintain consistent water levels while providing direct access to open water. The outdoor living space is just as impressive, featuring a gas-heated saltwater pool and spa with PebbleTec finish, sun shelf, color-changing lights, deck jets, Wi-Fi controls, Shellstone pavers, tropical landscaping, and ambient lighting-creating the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying year-round Florida living. Inside, the home offers an impressive list of upgrades, including impact windows and doors, a tile roof, two tankless gas water heaters, a whole-house water purification and softener system, and a spacious 3-car garage. The climate-controlled 1-car garage is currently vacant and offers exceptional flexibility-it could easily serve as a future home gym, golf cart garage, additional living space, hobby room, or valuable storage for someone relocating to the area. Residents of Sanctuary Cove enjoy access to an incredible collection of amenities, including a private riverfront beach, kayak launch and storage, waterfront clubhouse, heated resort-style pool with lap lanes, spa, fitness center, and multiple gathering and entertainment spaces. The community is golf cart-friendly and offers a welcoming social atmosphere centered around boating, recreation, and waterfront living. The location is equally hard to beat. Detwiler's Farm Market is conveniently located just across the street, while I-75 and I-275 provide easy access to St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and the surrounding Gulf Coast. Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, UTC Mall, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and Tampa International Airport are all within convenient reach. Located in Flood Zone X, the property sustained no flooding or damage during the 2024 hurricane season. Whether you are heading out by boat, golf cart, or car, this home offers an exceptional combination of waterfront access, luxury amenities, and everyday convenience. This is more than a rental-it is an opportunity to experience one of the Gulf Coast's most unique boating communities. Schedule your private showing today.
