Point Of Rocks Terrace sits on the southern reach of Siesta Key, close enough to feel the Gulf and the quartz-sand beaches that draw people to this part of Sarasota in the first place. It's a small, low-key coastal pocket where homes are generous in size and the pace is set by the water rather than traffic. Families here are zoned for Phillippi Shores Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High, with the energy of the Rosemary District and the beaches of Lido Key a short drive up the coast.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, high-end market and you should read it that way. There's currently one active listing asking $8,000,000 on a 4,997-square-foot home, while the four sales over the past year closed at a median of $1,637,500 — a reminder that what trades and what's listed can sit far apart. If you'd rather compare options nearby, neighborhoods like Arlington Park and Sky Ranch offer different price points within the same school and beach orbit.

Point Of Rocks Terrace FAQs
Is Point Of Rocks Terrace a good place to live?+
It's a quiet coastal neighborhood on Siesta Key with large homes and easy access to the Gulf beaches. Buyers are drawn by the school zoning — Phillippi Shores Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High — and the short drive to downtown Sarasota. It suits someone who wants space and proximity to the water over a dense, walkable grid.
Is Point Of Rocks Terrace expensive?+
Yes — it's a high-end stretch of Siesta Key. The single active listing is priced at $8,000,000 and the average price works out to about $1,601 per square foot, though the four homes sold in the past year closed at a more grounded median of $1,637,500.
What do homes cost in Point Of Rocks Terrace?+
Right now there's one home on the market asking $8,000,000 on roughly 4,997 square feet. Recent closings tell a different story, with a median sold price of $1,637,500 over the last 12 months, so actual trade values here run well below the current list. For a broader set of price points, it's worth looking across Sarasota too.
How is the market in Point Of Rocks Terrace?+
It's thin and slow-moving, with only one active listing and four sales in the past year. Homes that do sell take time — the median days on market is around 356 — and sellers are netting about 95% of their asking price. Expect limited choice and room to negotiate when the right property appears.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no reported HOA fee for the neighborhood, which is unusual for a coastal community and keeps carrying costs simpler. Property taxes run around $10,665 per year at the median, and rentals here command about $8,400 per month, reflecting the size and location of these homes.
