PostHeaderIcon Cozy Cove Condos for Sale, Siesta Key, Sarasota, Florida

Homeowners who prefer a peaceful and quiet retreat with water access should venture over to Turtle Beach on the southern end of Siesta Key. Turtle Beach and its campers are far from Siesta Beach the regular beach-going crowd. Unlike the fine quartz sand of the popular beach, which is made up 99% quartz, Turtle Beach is mostly shell and fine coral sand. Beachcombers find this beach the best for finding interesting sea-creature homes and will have no problems picking up shells to their hearts’ content. Some people have even picked up fossilized shark teeth on this tranquil coastline.

Turtle Beach is favored by residents who love the water, pure and simple. Aside from the serene shore, this narrower side of Siesta Key provides lots of water docks and direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway. A lagoon divides the land between the gulf-side and the bay-side, providing residents with more kayaking and other water sport opportunities.

Located on eastern side of this lagoon is the very charming condo community of Cozy Cove. This small residential complex absolutely lives up to its name. With only six units of approximately 1300 square feet in size each, Cozy Cove real estate is a boat lover’s ideal choice. Each unit comes with a private dock, as well as parking space under the building. There is a heated pool overlooking the lagoon for residents who want to have cocktails by the water.

Cozy Cove condos for sale are rare because, aside from the limited number of units, homeowners see them as an income-generating investment. The units may be rented out to vacationers for a minimum of two weeks. For prospective buyers who want to own a Cozy Cove real estate, the average price range falls in the $450s.

Residents may kayak through the lagoon or join an eco-tour of the nearby Jim Neville Marine Preserve. Exotic bird species and aquatic animals, such as dolphins and manatees, are often seen lingering along this area. Moreover, Cozy Cove residents can reach Turtle Beach in five minutes. You will find the usual sunbathers and some children in the water on this restful shore. Be prepared to see people fishing, and actually catching fish, right on the beach.

A popular hangout in the area is Turtles on Little Sarasota Bay. The restaurant provides a waterfront deck that customers really enjoy. The friendly staff and tasty fare are often overshadowed by the view that’s set gloriously in front of patrons when they choose to sit “outside.” You can even come through the Intracoastal Waterway if you’ve been boating or kayaking, and feel like stopping by for lunch or dinner. Some customers at Turtles have been riding their bikes through the island when they decided to end the day with a lovely sunset dinner by the bay.
