The heart of the property is the 2,000+ square foot travertine pool deck connecting both homes. The private heated pool and spa overlook the wide-open bay and are surrounded by loungers, shaded seating, umbrellas, and dining areas. Sunsets here are unforgettable. From the spa, the upstairs balcony, or the private dock, you'll enjoy panoramic views across Palma Sola Bay with vibrant evening skies reflecting over the water. Follow the path from the pool deck across the manicured lawn to your private dock. Fish directly from the dock (no license required), watch dolphins and manatees pass by, or tie up your boat for the duration of your stay. Nearby causeway ramps make boat launching easy.
Retreat at Palma Sola Bay is ideally located just minutes from the world-class white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach. Walk to the Palma Sola Causeway for jet ski rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, or horseback riding along the water. You're also conveniently positioned near Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Tampa — offering dining, shopping, entertainment, and cultural attractions while still enjoying the peace of a private waterfront retreat.
