Waterfront homes and condos in Sarasota and Manatee County are regarded as the most valuable and desirable real estate locations. Any waterfront estate with views of the intracoastal waterway or beachfront, Gulf of Mexico, can quickly increase a homes or condos value 200%-300% or more. There are fantastic values right now on waterfront homes and condominiums (condos being the most affordable) turning the clock back about 7 or 8 years. Today, Siesta Key, home of Siesta Beach, the best beach on Earth, has many great home and condo buys. Lido, Longboat, Casey Key and the rest of the areas "key properties" are also selling a huge discount off of the 2005 bench mark highs. So what was extremely difficult to purchase for many people most of this decade is now reasonable and worthy of consideration. Think of it as Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte County as having a 50% Off Sale on all waterfront and beachfront real estate. So maybe it's time to make a move and buy yourself a little slice of paradise. While living on Siesta Key, Longboat Key or any west coast island would be wonderful, you should consider that anywhere you live in Southwest Florida you are only a few minutes drive to a beautiful county owned beach. Waterfront is a loosely used term in real estate and can mean the Gulf of Mexico or a duck pond in someone's backyard. Most of the homes and condos on this page have a map below the listings details so you can see exactly what type of waterfront the property has. Map Search is also a great page to search for waterfront homes and condos.

Pete and Bill,
I think we looked at every house and condo in Venice Florida before we found my dream home. Hope I didn’t drive you crazy! You said you would find me the best home in Venice Florida for me and you sure did.
Debbie Y Venice, Florida (from Michigan)
The Sarasota Herald Tribune called and wants to do a story on the great deal I got on my new home. The real estate reporter like the fact that FHA it only required me to put 3% down. That made me very happy too. Frank B Venice, Florida

Bill and Pete,
I know you two saved us at least $50,000 and probably closer to $100.000. I love this huge private lot and the great Key West home in a perfect location. I looked for a year and didn't find anything closed to this great deal. My brother will be calling you to buy a vacation waterfront home.
