1608 Stickney Point Rd APT 304, Sarasota, FL 34231

Perched on the third floor with views of Intracoastal Waterway, this two-bedroom, two-bath residence captures the essence of coastal living. Just east of the Siesta Key south bridge, Castel del Mare offers convenient access to the boatyard’s waterfront dining and shops, along with easy access to the sugar-white sands of Siesta Key. Inside, the residence lives large with an open floor plan that features a light-filled Florida room with wall-to-wall sliders framing the desirable water view. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and features wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and under-cabinet lighting. Castel del Mare is a hidden gem that embraces a waterfront lifestyle. Residents enjoy two swimming pools — one overlooking the bay and another tucked into a garden setting — plus a tennis court with pickleball lines, a bayside fishing pier, kayak storage and a scenic boardwalk that weaves along the water’s edge. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, a seasonal escape or an income-generating investment, this is where year-round blue skies and relaxed Gulf Coast living come naturally.
