Coastal Living Perfected on Longboat Key Discover the ultimate island retreat at 726 Jungle Queen Way, a beautifully reimagined 2-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home where modern comfort meets timeless Florida charm. Tucked away on a peaceful canal just steps from the Gulf of Mexico, this residence offers the rare privilege of deeded beach access, 125ft canal frontage, and a resort-style saltwater pool - everything you need to live each day like a vacation. Wake up to soft morning light glistening off the water and ease into your day with coffee poolside, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and the hush of palm fronds swaying in the breeze. Launch your boat from the private dock pilings on the deep-water canal and explore Sarasota Bay or head out toward Egmont Key. After a day on the water, rinse off in the outdoor shower, slip into the saltwater pool, or unwind on the travertine deck beneath wide island skies that glow at sunset. Evenings invite laid-back luxury - cocktails by the firepit, good company, and a canopy of stars overhead. Inside, this home blends classic coastal character with thoughtful, high-end updates throughout. The light-filled living spaces feel open yet intimate, with plantation shutters, fresh neutral tones, new baseboards and trim that anchors the living room with style. The redesigned kitchen shines with quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and sleek cabinetry, while both bathrooms echo a spa-inspired sensibility with crisp, elegant finishes. The family room’s canal views beyond the French doors provide a quiet reminder that you’re always connected to the water. Recent updates lend peace of mind with new HVAC (2019), refreshed interior paint, new interior doors, and professional flood mitigation - including new drywall and rewired electrical. The exterior is equally turnkey, with manicured landscaping, a paver driveway, and a shaded carport for convenience. Living on Longboat Key means embracing an effortless, elegant coastal lifestyle. From here, you’re minutes to St. Armands Circle, Anna Maria Island, and downtown Sarasota, with boutique shopping, fine dining, dog-friendly parks, and beach paths all within easy reach. Boat in the morning. Beach at sunset. Poolside under the stars. This is more than a home - it’s the Longboat Key lifestyle realized.
