Discover one of Manatee County’s best-kept waterfront secrets—Bay Hollow, a charming and intimate condo community with only 40 units. Nestled along a protected inlet on Sarasota Bay, this serene retreat offers direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico, complete with your own covered parking spot and private dock that can accommodate a sailboat. This beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom first-floor condo is a true gem. Featuring brand new wood-like tile flooring throughout, the open-concept design is enhanced by architectural details that add character and charm. The updated eat-in kitchen boasts white shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, a tiled backsplash, pull-out pantry, and a built-in seating area with storage. Enjoy peaceful waterfront views and morning coffee in your sunroom or unwind in the sunken living room next to the wood-burning fireplace while watching dolphins and manatees play in the inlet. With a brand-new, energy-efficient HVAC system (with a 10-year warranty) and refrigerator, you’ll have peace of mind, knowing the unit is both comfortable and reliable. This unit remained high and dry during recent storms—no flooding here! The remodeled bathrooms feature stylish new cabinetry and ample storage, making this home as functional as it is beautiful. A screened porch offers the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine while enjoying the sights and sounds of the water. Watch fish jump, take in the vibrant sunset, and enjoy the serenity that this waterfront condo has to offer. Bay Hollow is an active, well-maintained community with FULLY FUNDED RESERVES and affordable monthly fees that include internet, cable, trash, water, and pest control. Residents can also enjoy the heated community pool after a day on the water. Only 1.5 miles to the beach, this location offers the best of both worlds—convenience to local shops, the iconic Cortez Fishing Village, and some of the best seafood around, all while offering direct access to world-class boating and fishing. Make this tranquil, turnkey waterfront condo your new paradise—boating, fishing, and sunsets await!
