About this home

Turnkey furnished and direct Gulf-front, this exceptional ground-floor residence at Turtle Crawl Inn on Longboat Key offers both effortless beachfront living and remarkable, documented rental performance. Residence T-101 has averaged a yearly gross rental income of approximately $90,000 over the past three years, making it a compelling opportunity for investors, seasonal owners, or those seeking a flexible coastal retreat with established returns. Positioned directly on the sand, this rare walk-out Gulf-front residence features a private patio just steps from the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico—ideal for enjoying sunset views over the shoreline. The professionally designed interior blends coastal comfort with modern updates, featuring imported contemporary porcelain flooring from Italy throughout the open layout. The kitchen offers updated cabinetry, stone countertops, white appliances, and a seamless connection to the living and dining areas—perfect for relaxed beachside living or hosting guests. Impact windows with plantation shutters and impact glass sliders enhance peace of mind while filling the space with natural light. The spacious bedroom accommodates guests comfortably, while the completely updated bathroom (2021) showcases clean, timeless finishes. Step outside to the travertine-tiled Gulf-front patio, your private vantage point overlooking the beach, dunes, and horizon—an amenity highly valued by renters and owners alike. Turtle Crawl Inn is known for its laid-back resort atmosphere and strong rental appeal, offering a heated swimming pool, beachside cabanas, gas grilling stations, picnic areas, fishing opportunities, a putting green, shuffleboard courts, and deeded beach access. Flexible rental options make this community especially attractive for income-focused ownership. ** The Seller requests NO SOLICITATION COMMUNICATIONS of any kind. LISTING WITHDRAWN, WILL BE RE-ACTIVATED.** Located on the desirable mid-island stretch of Longboat Key, the property is minutes from waterfront dining, marinas, Bayfront Park, Joan M. Durante Park, and boating access. Anna Maria Island lies just to the north, while St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota’s shopping, dining, and cultural attractions are a short drive south.
