WEST-FACING SARASOTA BAY VIEWS, A PRIVATE ELEVATOR, AND TWO BRAND-NEW A/C SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN 2026 — all within the gated, guarded private-island community of Tidy Island. Set along Sarasota Bay, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers 2,321 square feet across three levels and one of the island’s more generous floor plans. Tidy Island is known for its remarkable natural setting, with much of the island preserved as a private wildlife and conservation area, creating a rare combination of waterfront living, privacy and protected surroundings. The main living level is designed around the home’s western exposure and beautiful bay views. Cathedral ceilings, skylights and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the living room, while doors open to the balcony for afternoon light and unforgettable sunsets over Sarasota Bay. A separate family room plus flexible den/dining space provides something rarely found in a two-bedroom residence: multiple true living areas with room for a home office, media room, formal dining or additional entertaining space. The kitchen, laundry room and half bath complete this level. Upstairs, both bedrooms are privately positioned on the third floor, each with its own full bath and walk-in closet, creating a split-suite layout. A private elevator connects all three levels for easy everyday living. The residence has been recently painted throughout, including the two-car garage with additional storage, and is move-in ready. Electric vehicle charging may also be installed in the garage in accordance with the association’s adopted EV policy. Exterior alterations are also permitted, allowing for options like a ground-floor screen enclosure next to the garage or enclosing the lanai. Tidy Island offers a distinctive, low-density waterfront lifestyle with 24-hour guarded access and an extensive collection of services and amenities. Association benefits include building exterior and roof maintenance, grounds, private roads, shoreline and mangrove care, two pools and spa, clubhouse, fitness room, tennis courts, walking trails, kayak launch and storage, an on-island archaeological museum, cable, internet, water, sewer, trash, insurance, pest control and association-provided termite treatment. The result is a true lock-and-leave lifestyle with significantly less exterior maintenance for the owner. Leasing is permitted subject to association approval, with a 30-day minimum lease term and a maximum of four leases per calendar year. This provides flexibility for seasonal or longer-term use while preserving the residential character of the community. Pets are also permitted subject to association guidelines. The location is another major advantage. Despite its peaceful private-island setting, Tidy Island is about 5 minutes from IMG Academy, about 10 minutes from Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, and under 30 minutes from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. The seller’s brand-new furniture package is available separately by bill of sale, creating the opportunity for a beautifully furnished, turnkey move-in. Ask for the complete upgrade and furnishings list. For buyers searching for Sarasota Bay waterfront living, a private gated island near Anna Maria Island, or a spacious Bradenton residence with an elevator, sunset views, two-car garage and exceptional amenities, 13 Tidy Island Boulevard is one to experience in person.
