Description

Tropical Private Island House | Boat Access Only

Nestled on a serene 38-acre private island, the Tropical Private Island House offers an unparalleled island vacation experience. This award-winning home spans 2 acres and boasts a private beach, a deep water boat dock, and breathtaking sunsets. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this luxurious retreat is designed to provide the ultimate getaway for families and groups seeking tranquility and adventure.

The house is accessible only by boat, ensuring a secluded and peaceful environment. Guests can rent reasonably priced boats from nearby Cannons Marina on Longboat Key or Bradenton Beach Marina. Alternatively, you can bring your own boat and take advantage of the 30 Amp power and water at the dock. The house opens on both the east and west sides with four pocketing 12-foot sliding doors that lead to large screened decks, perfect for lounging and dining while enjoying the stunning views.

The main floor master bedroom features an outdoor claw-foot tub with hot and cold water, a private bath with a large shower, and a deck that overlooks the azure waters of Longboat Pass. The upstairs two-room bedroom suites can sleep up to 8 guests, each with private baths and decks offering panoramic views. The house is equipped with four custom-made queen beds, one of which can be separated into two twins, and four extra-long twin beds. Linens and towels are provided, ensuring a comfortable stay.

The fully equipped kitchen includes Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Kitchen Aid appliances, a food processor, a Vita-mix blender, a coffee maker, and a Keurig pod machine. Guests can enjoy music on the Sonos sound system with wireless streaming and high-speed Wi-Fi. For those who prefer to relax, shaded hammocks and a private dock provide the perfect spots to unwind and take in the surroundings.

Longboat Key offers a variety of activities to keep guests entertained. The pristine boating and swimming waters are ideal for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing. Guests can use two stand-up paddleboards, two double kayaks, two children's kayaks, and a canoe. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of gulf coast fish in the surrounding waters, known locally as "The Kitchen." The island is also home to diverse wildlife, including dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, and a wide array of birds such as ospreys, great blue herons, and pelicans.

The area's attractions extend beyond the island. Longboat Key is renowned for its fine dining, stunning beaches, and excellent fishing. Guests can explore the island's natural beauty by beachcombing or zip-lining, while children will enjoy the 200-foot zip line on the property. The house offers high-speed internet, Apple TV, Smart TV, and Sonos, with access to Netflix, Amazon, and other movie options, ensuring guests stay connected and entertained during their stay.

In summary, the Tropical Private Island House provides an exclusive and memorable vacation experience. From its luxurious accommodations and state-of-the-art amenities to the natural beauty and wildlife of Longboat Key, this private island retreat is the perfect destination for those seeking a unique and relaxing escape.
