Map & Owner's Profile
Newly Decorated Canal Home with New Heated Pool, Walk to Beach
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Sleepy Lagoon
Being close to the sand bar and many restaurants by water were a must for us! My husbands is a huge deep sea fisherman and my kids love playing at the beach so this location was ideal for us. We believe there is no place like it in world! Longboat Key is truly a hidden treasure. We have also enjoyed the perks of the fabulous, world class restaurants being so close by.
The Unique Benefits at this Canal House
Walk out the back porch to view the bay or walk down the street to enjoy the beach. One of our favorite things is to rent recumbent bikes and ride on the bike path along Gulf of Mexico Drive or to the beach. We have been wanting to rent kayaks and padel over to the incredible sandbar close by but haven't done it yet. The Longboat Key club is an incredible golf course only 2 miles south of our house.
Walk down Norton Street and cross Gulf of Mexico Drive to experience your deeded beach access with white sands, great shelling, and play in the aqua blue water of the Gulf
Walk to the Bike Rental shop and enjoy the wind in your hair as you ride on the bike path along Gulf of Mexico Dr. You can also rent Kayaks.
Enjoy being on the water at either restaurant as well as a wonderful, fresh meal.
A great restuarant to witness beautiful sunsets over the water. Live music most Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Great shopping, miniature golf, and the famous Joe's Ice Cream Shop.
You can go by water or by car to enjoy panaromic views of the bay while enjoying a good meal.
Visit Mote to see the sea life in the area. The boat trip is a real interesting journey for kids and adults alike.
This is a must for your visit! Shop, eat, or visit The Met Spa. Kilwin's chocolate fudge and ice cream shop is a must as well as Columbian Restaurant.
A beautiful city park to walk and enjoy nature. Visit O'Leary's for a drink or listen to live music.
Three story dining experience. Floor 1, enjoy fresh authentic tapa dining. Floor 2, dance or have fun watching salsa dancing. Floor 3, the open air bar has a fun tiki feel while being in the middle
This is where you would rent a boat or any water craft for your stay on Longboat Key.
Try to make it to this beautiful oasis! The sandbar is full of sand dollars, crabs and sea life. We've seen many stingrays jumping and dolphins playing from here.

My husband and I along with our 3 kids live in Texas but enjoy the water and deep sea fishing so Longboat Key was a easy choice for a second home.
