Sleepy Lagoon Homes For Sale | Longboat Key, FL

Sleepy Lagoon Community Guide

Sleepy Lagoon in Longboat Key features deeded beach access, with homes 1,128 – 9,243 sq ft.

Sleepy Lagoon Real Estate in Longboat Key, FL

Sleepy Lagoon homes for sale sit on the north end of Longboat Key in Manatee County, 269 single-family homes lining both sides of Gulf of Mexico Drive, quiet, family-friendly, and tucked away enough that most people drive right past without noticing it. No mandatory HOA governs the neighborhood, and architecture runs eclectic, Key West, Mediterranean, and modern designs all coexisting on the same streets, from 1940s bungalows under 1,000 square feet to newer estates approaching 7,000.

Nine canals wind through the community, giving many homes deep water docks and a quick run out to Sarasota Bay for boaters. Sleepy Lagoon also owns its own deeded beach access, a real perk since there’s no community pool or clubhouse here, the appeal is the water and the quiet. Pets are welcome, and you’re still just 15 minutes from downtown Sarasota or St. Armands Circle on Lido Key.
