Did I mention the extremely affordable HOA fees, which is rare on Longboat Key? Twin Shores is a unique 55+ Gulf-to-Bay community offering access to both the beach and Sarasota Bay. This charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath home (with another full-bath outside) is ready for its next owner to complete the renovation and create their own island retreat. (Also, the owner had plans to install the existing shuttered doors to create an optional temporary 2nd bedroom for overnight guests!) Renovation work has already begun, giving you the opportunity to finish the home to your personal taste and style. This home can be your inviting Longboat Key getaway or full-time island residence. What truly sets this opportunity apart is that Twin Shores has the best of both worlds in this resident-owned Gulf-to-Bay cooperative community, with private deeded Gulf beach access, Sarasota Bay access, marina, community pool and clubhouse. Spend your mornings walking the beach, your afternoons boating or relaxing by the pool, and your evenings enjoying game nights in the clubhouse as well as everything Longboat Key has to offer. Opportunities at this price point on Longboat Key are increasingly hard to find. Offered AS-IS. Renovation is incomplete and the appliances, cabinetry, flooring, and windows at the property are included in the sale. Twin Shores Beach and Marina offers a saltwater/heated community pool, a marina with boat slips available for lease (current waitlist), a beautiful, new clubhouse (almost completed) with plenty of community activities and social events. This community offers an array of outdoor activities because of its beach-to-bay location: Enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, boating and fishing. Love pickleball? Bayfront Park is a short walk or bike ride away which offers pickleball for all levels. Twin Shores Beach and Marina is a remnant of Old Florida with extremely affordable community fees at $280/month which includes water, sewer, trash, pool maintenance, clubhouse, management, marina, maintenance grounds and common area taxes. Enjoy million-dollar sunrises from the marina and million-dollar sunsets from the deeded beach without the typical Longboat Key million-dollar-plus price tag!

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
