Cathedral ceilings, skylights and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the living room, while doors open to the balcony for afternoon light and unforgettable sunsets over Sarasota Bay.

The result is a true lock-and-leave lifestyle with significantly less exterior maintenance for the owner. Leasing is permitted subject to association approval, with a 30-day minimum lease term and a maximum of four leases per calendar year. This provides flexibility for seasonal or longer-term use while preserving the residential character of the community. Pets are also permitted subject to association guidelines. The location is another major advantage. Despite its peaceful private-island setting, Tidy Island is about 5 minutes from IMG Academy, about 10 minutes from Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, and under 30 minutes from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
