The screened lanai surrounds a large pool and provides covered seating areas for outdoor living. A private dock sits on a quiet canal with quick access to Sarasota Bay, making it easy to get out on the water. Living on Bird Key means more than just waterfront access. The neighborhood is known for its private, residential setting with wide streets and a strong sense of community.
