Sarasota Island House is a masterfully designed "tropical modern" retreat built by its owner, a master builder, to capture the essence of Old Florida luxury. Situated on a premier 2-acre estate with 300 feet of direct private beachfront on the private 38-acre Jewfish Key, this is an award-winning property known for its iconic sunsets, panoramic western views, and exceptional privacy, all just a short private boat shuttle from the mainland.
Accommodations & Design
The home is elevated to capture sea breezes and features a layout that ensures every room has a western view of the water and the sunset.
Master Suite #1 (Main Level): Features a queen bed, an en-suite bath, and a private outdoor lounge deck with a signature outdoor claw-foot bathtub.
Upper Level Suites: Two expansive 2-room suites. One sleeps up to 5 guests (Queen + 3 Singles), and the other sleeps 3 (Queen + 1 Single). Both feature en-suite baths.
Guest Room (Main Level): A flexible space with two single beds, ideal for children or staff, sharing a full bath with the main floor's bunk room.
Please note: maximum occupancy is strictly 10 persons, even though the bed layout could physically accommodate up to 12.
Living Spaces: A massive open-concept great room with vaulted ceilings, Sonos sound systems, and a professional-grade chef's kitchen flowing seamlessly into the outdoor lanai and pool deck.
Amenities & Inclusions
The property is exceptionally "toy-heavy" and equipped for an active coastal lifestyle:
Culinary: A gourmet kitchen featuring Sub-Zero, Wolf, and KitchenAid appliances, including a Vitamix and Nespresso machine, plus a professional outdoor kitchen with a commercial gas grill, smoker, and gas pizza oven.
Water Sports: Unlimited use of 4 stand-up paddleboards, 2 double kayaks, 2 children's kayaks, and a canoe. A large floating tiki dock is available for relaxation.
On-Island Fun: A 200-foot zipline for children and adults, a large beachside fire pit for evening roasts, and hammocks strung between the palms.
Wildlife: The waters surrounding the private dock are known as "The Kitchen," a premier spot for fly-fishing and dolphin watching. Manatees are frequent visitors, and the island is a notable stop for world-class shelling and wading.
How Private Is This Island?
Privacy at the Sarasota Island House is highly curated. While Jewfish Key is home to a small handful of other estates, the house itself sits on its own 2-acre parcel and is not visible from any neighboring property or the public waterway, ensuring a true private-island feel.
