As you arrive, tropical palms and manicured grounds frame the home, Inside, hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and a dramatic wall of windows immediately draw your attention to the water views.

The open-concept main living space flows effortlessly from the gourmet kitchen to the living area and into the screened lanai. The chef's kitchen features ample counter space, high-end appliances, and everything needed to prepare large family meals. Whether you're hosting a sunset dinner or casual brunch, the indoor and outdoor dining spaces offer combined seating for up to 20 guests.

The screened lanai overlooks the pool, spa, and sweeping bay views — making it the perfect space for morning coffee or evening cocktails as boats drift by.

The main home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths.
On the main floor, the primary suite features a King bed and Twin bed, a spacious ensuite bath with walk-in shower, and a large soaking tub. Just off the living area, a second bedroom offers a King bed and easy access to the main living spaces.

The heart of the property is the 2,000+ square foot travertine pool deck connecting both homes. The private heated pool and spa overlook the wide-open bay and are surrounded by loungers, shaded seating, umbrellas, and dining areas.
Sunsets here are unforgettable.
From the spa, the upstairs balcony, or the private dock, you'll enjoy panoramic views across Palma Sola Bay with vibrant evening skies reflecting over the water. Follow the path from the pool deck across the manicured lawn to your private dock. Fish directly from the dock (no license required), watch dolphins and manatees pass by, or tie up your boat for the duration of your stay. Nearby causeway ramps make boat launching easy.

Retreat at Palma Sola Bay is ideally located just minutes from the world-class white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach. Walk to the Palma Sola Causeway for jet ski rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, or horseback riding along the water.
You're also conveniently positioned near Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Tampa — offering dining, shopping, entertainment, and cultural attractions while still enjoying the peace of a private waterfront retreat.
