Set within the private, gated island community of Tidy Island, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath end-unit residence offers a peaceful blend of waterfront views and natural surroundings. Large windows fill the home with light while showcasing beautiful estuary views on two sides. The open living area features a fireplace and flows seamlessly into the enclosed Florida room, allowing for year-round enjoyment of the tranquil setting and frequent visits from native birds such as Ibis and Roseate Spoonbills. The kitchen offers a large center island, ample storage, modern appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. The spacious primary suite provides a quiet retreat with an oversized en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms allow flexibility for guests or a home office. Life on Tidy Island is unlike anywhere else along Sarasota Bay. Of the island’s 240 acres, nearly 200 acres are preserved as a private wildlife and bird sanctuary, creating a rare sense of privacy and connection to nature. With just 96 residences, the community maintains a quiet, low-density feel surrounded by mature landscaping, scenic walking trails, and boardwalks—perfect for morning walks, evening sunsets, and enjoying the outdoors with your pets in this pet-friendly neighborhood. Residents enjoy two pools and spas, Har-Tru tennis court and two pickleball courts, a clubhouse, fitness center, and gathering spaces, along with a 24-hour guarded gatehouse, on-site management, and maintenance services. While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, you remain just minutes from the restaurants and culture of downtown Bradenton and the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island—offering the perfect balance of privacy, nature, and convenience.
