Bay Island Real Estate in Siesta Key, FL
Bay Island homes for sale sit at the northeast point of Siesta Key, reached via Siesta Drive and a short bridge crossing. Separated from the main key by meandering canals but still very much part of the barrier island, this waterfront neighborhood holds roughly 162 to 169 homes, a mix of Mediterranean, modern, and beach bungalow styles, built anywhere from 1925 to present.
No formal HOA fee restricts most single family homes here, and prices run from the $400,000s up past $6 million depending on waterfront position. Bay Island Park handles boat loading right at the bridge, and deep water access makes this a favorite among avid boaters. Siesta Beach and Siesta Village sit just a short distance away, and downtown Sarasota is minutes from your front door.
