Living on Casey Key.
Casey Key is one of the most private islands on the Gulf Coast. It is a narrow barrier island in Sarasota County, running about eight miles between Nokomis and the north edge of Venice, with the Gulf on one side and Little Sarasota Bay on the other. There are no condos and no high-rises. Zoning keeps the island single-family, low-density, and quiet.
Many homes sit gulf-to-bay, with private beach on one side and a dock on the other. Buyers come here for land, privacy, and water. Craig knows the island and the questions that matter on it.
What you will find.
Casey Key is an estate market with a small number of homes:
- Gulf-to-bay estates with private beach and a bayfront dock.
- Gulf-front homes with direct beach frontage.
- Bayfront homes with deep water and quick boat access.
Because there are no condos, value follows frontage, acreage, elevation, and dock access. Craig can walk each one with you.
Quiet and space.
Casey Key has long drawn owners who want quiet and space. The island has no commercial strip and little traffic, and one narrow road runs its length.
It is a short drive to Nokomis, Osprey, and Venice for shops, dining, and marinas, so you have privacy without being far from town.
A bridge from Nokomis.
Casey Key is reached by bridge from the Nokomis side at the north end, including the historic Blackburn Point swing bridge, one of the few hand-operated swing bridges left in Florida. Craig serves Casey Key from his nearby Sarasota County base, minutes away.
What to know on a barrier island.
An island estate is wonderful, and it comes with its own checklist. On Casey Key, pay close attention to:
- Flood zone and elevation. These change street to street and drive your flood insurance.
- Wind and windstorm coverage. Roof age and construction matter to insurers. Get quotes early.
- Utilities. Some homes use well and septic. Confirm what serves the property.
- The dock and seawall. Ask about condition, permits, water depth, and the run to open water.
Craig handles waterfront and luxury sales, AS-IS and cash closings, and international buyers and sellers (FIRPTA). He will make sure these questions are answered before you are on the hook.
