NEW! The Dunes-Private Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Private backyard-5mi to beach

THE DUNES is a newly renovated, single-family home with a heated private pool in the heart of Sarasota. The home is 5 miles to the #1 beach in the USA, Siesta Key Beach. It offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with a large living and dining area. The fully private, fully enclosed outdoor space is one-of-a-kind with a heated modern pool, hot tub, BBQ grill and lounge chairs for guests to enjoy Florida outdoor living in style.

THE SPACE:
COMMON AREAS:
The KITCHEN is newly renovated with white cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave and dishwasher). It is fully equipped with pots/pans, knives, cutting boards, cups, plates, silverware and drip coffee maker and stocked with cooking staples such as spices, olive oil and coffee. Plastic plates and cups are provided for use outdoors and around the pool. The kitchen island faces the living space, and it has a breakfast bar with bar stools.

The LIVING ROOM has a large leather sectional. Enjoy the big game or family movie night with an 86" smart TV. Large windows let in plenty of natural Florida sunshine throughout the home.

The DINING area has a large wooden table, chairs and bench seating. Gather for meals and enjoy family time.

The OFFICE area has a desk, comfortable office chair, keyboard, mouse and monitor to make it easy to work from home.

The SUNROOM has a corner bench, table and chairs for dining or breakfast in the sun, with a view of the pool.

The full-size WASHER and DRYER are located next to the kitchen & sunroom.

THE POOL & BACKYARD:
Lounge poolside in the FULLY PRIVATE POOL AREA and soak up the warm Florida sun! The 8,000-gallon POOL IS HEATED and typically kept between 80-85 degrees, so it's perfect for swimming year-round. The pool is approx. 3-5.5 feet deep, with a shallow sundeck for lounging or dipping your toes in the water. Outdoor pool lounge chairs round out the pool space for soaking up the warm Florida sunshine.

Enjoy outdoor living at the OUTDOOR BAR under the PERGOLAS, with outdoor refrigerator for keeping your beverages cool. Grill outdoors on the propane BBQ GRILL and enjoy the evening sunset. During the evenings, relax outdoors in the HOT TUB. The backyard and pool area are fully fenced all around, offering complete privacy.

Get carried away in the Bohemian Jungle-themed SECOND BEDROOM with queen size bed, dresser, cozy reading nook and closet.

Bunk with buddies in the Nautical-themed THIRD BEDROOM with full-sized bunk beds, twin trundle bed, dresser and closet.

Nice property. Quiet neighborhood. Space for all of us. The back yard outdoor space was well used! Thank You to Ron for heating the pool for our babies. We all LOVED the pool and the hot tub. Everything except your clothes is there. Beach towels, pool toys were very much appreciated. The pack and play was a huge bonus. We all agreed we would stay again! Thanks for letting us stay!!
