Casey Key Sunsets

Sunset Casey Key FloridaLast Casey Key Sunset Before Winter Residents Arrive - November 2008

About 4:30 pm yesterday, Snuffy and I headed out to Casey Key Beach for the last sunset and to visit Kathleen, Kisses and Nick Herron at their Casey Key summer home. The Herrons are staying in a small Casey Key beach house this summer and enjoying beach life before returning to their permanent home at Venetian Golf and River Club this weekend. This summer, the family had so much fun at the beach that Kathleen told Nick on moving day a month ago she wasn't ready to leave so they extended there stay another month.

Snuufy Smith and Kisses Herron sniffing out Casey Key real estate
Sitting on the deck last evening, listening to the crashing waves,
watching the pelicans diving for their catch and walking with Snuffy and Kisses on the Beach while they searched for crab was so relaxing! I could have stayed forever. Casey Key is truly special. I didn't see one person on the beach as Kathleen sat on the beach steps and I walked with the doggies.

After cocktails, Nick cooked the most fabulous dinner for Kathleen and me. We feasted on grilled steaks with his famous mushroom burgundy sauce (yummy), baked potatoes, green beans and biscuits. The doggies got the last bite of steak -- just a toast to the end of summer and the last Casey Key sunset. Pappa Nick, after cleaning the kitchen, took anxious Kisses & Snuffy on their last beach walk of the extended historic summer of 2008!


If you are searching for a summer home, Casey Key may not be the beach for you. It is very private, and you can walk your dogs on the beach. Owners are very responsible with a pride in ownership and pick up after their pets on this beach. It is pristine. If you want lots of beach activity with lots of people, Siesta Key could be the spot. Contact us as we know Sarasota real estate and Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lido Key and Longboat Key beach real estate and homes. Let us know your parameters or search our sites. Contact Katheen and Nick Herron at 941-350-5035 for information on Casey Key real estate too. We cover the beach, bay to the back nine!

Loggerhead Nests

Originally published: 2008

Biologists from Mote Marine are checking loggerhead nests in Sarasota this week. High tides from the latest storm are potential danger to the nests. The biologists are checking to see how many nests are still in place. The report should be finished in a week according to a news broadcast last night.

Luckily as Nick Herron reported earlier, the second turtle nest behind one our Casey Key listings hatched, and Mote dug it up while Nick was showing property one day so we don't know how many baby turtles hatched. It was a good thing these babies got on their way as Nick reports a lot of the nest were destroyed by the storm(Fay). Seven of the yellow marker stakes from other nests washed up on Casey Key beach behind our listing.

Mote Marine Visit Casey Key Loggerheads

Originally posted: August 2008

Nick Herron reported last night that Mote Marine dug out Juney Loggerhead's sea turtle nest this week. After sea turtles' eggs hatch, volunteers from Mote return to the loggerhead's nest on Casey Key to dig for information about the turtle crawl: how many eggs hatched, did any die in the nest, any eggs left, etc.

Mote found that 104 eggs were in Juney's nest. Thirty of the eggs didn't hatch, one turtle was dead in its shell and one little turtle was still alive in its shell. Mote Marine representative cleaned the baby turtle and took it to Mote for observation. The tiny sea turtle had what seemed to be a fungus on its body.

For more information about sea turtles, visit Mote Marine and visit Casey Key real estate to contact the Herron Group for your Casey Key homes update.

Turtle Hatch on Casey Key Florida

Original article published: July 2008

Mote Marine volunteers check on Casey Key loggerhead nest.Juney Loggerhead's babies hatched last night according to Nick and Kathleen Herron and making their way out to sea. Juney's loggerhead nest on Casey Key was completed one night in early June. We've been checking on the nest when we hold open house on Casey Key or Nick sends an email and a loggerhead tracking report. It's fun to follow the turtles and amazing to know their habits.

The stretch of beach behind our listing on Casey Key is one of Mote Marine's most valued areas for tagging and research. Loggerheads lay their eggs two or three times every other year. After the baby turtles hatch, they come back 30 to 35 years later. There are two nests which we have been watching behind the Herrons summer retreat. One other loggerhead attempted to nest between the first two nests but something probably disrupted the sea turtle which resulted in a false crawl.

Visit the sea turtle tracking site if you would like to track the turtles or to become a sea turtle volunteer and check on the nests, Mote Marine volunteers online.

4th of July on Casey Key

Original article: July 2008

Kisses Herron runs and hides in closets when she hears firecrackers or thunderstorms. She spent some time in a closet last night as Nick & Kathleen entertained friends for a fabulous 4th of July Celebration on Casey Key Beach. Guests nibbled on appetizers of scrumptious cucumber pickups to spinach artichoke dip with shrimp. Nick cooked mouthwatering hamburgers and hot dogs and Kathleen added sauerkraut, homemade potato salad and broccoli mango salad. Chocolate lovers were happy and, of course, beverages of choice were available too!



Right before a spectacular sunset the group headed to the beach to collect seashells prior to dancing with sparklers and watching the fireworks festivities at Venice Beach and Siesta Key. As you can tell from the video, the Herron Group enjoyed a few private fireworks and a perfect Casey Key 4th of July! Poor Kisses!

Casey Key Loggerhead Builds Nest Next To Juney - June 2008

On June 9, Juney, a Casey Key loggerhead, crawled up on the sand right behind the beach house the Herron Group has listed on the sands of the Gulf of Mexico. Linsley and Alison of Mote Marine were on the scene that evening to measure the nest and put up a protective baracade and a sign to keep out visitors and pesty creatures. Kathleen Herron quickly named the first loggerhead Juney.
Mote Marine Measures Loggerhead Nest
Just as Juney crawled from the Gulf, the new loggerhead slowly pulled herself to a spot right next to Juney's nest where she also laid her eggs. Nick and Kathleen emailed Snuffy and me this morning about the latest loggerhead development. We are going to the Casey Key beach house on the 4th of July and will update you.

I've never seen a loggerhead and anticipate with great excitement the loggerhead eggs hatching in about 40 more days. Hopefully, the beach water will not wash over the eggs too many times and destroy them.

You can track the loggerheads and read articles about the loggerheads as well. From the sea turle site, you can adopt a turtle too.

Casey Key Home on the Bay is Sale Pending
Dated: June 2008

Nick and Kathleen Herron, of the Herron Group, have been plenty busy this week helping sellers of a Casey Key home that is sale pending move their belongings to their Venice Florida oceanfront condo. The house on Casey Key is being sold with most of the furnishings but over the years we all collect a few belongings so the Herrons are assisting these out of state owners.

Showings have picked up and summer which is usually rather slow is keeping the Herron Group hopping with other activities along with real estate transactions.

Longboat Key is a short drive from the mainland, and I've been helping Georgia owners check on their property in Bay Isles. They leave a car in the garage so along with checking through each room, flushing toilets and looking for anything unusual, the car gets a nice run too. There are many services for out of state homeowners, and the Herron Group will be glad to give you names of companies should you need such a service for a second home.

2821 Casey Key Rd's resident loggerhead nest is still in place, and we'll update you when we see any activity.

Thunderstorms are in Sarasota today so it's a great time to catch up on a little blog information for our readers and enjoy the raindrops that Sarasota's needs for our lush tropical landscaping!

Waterfront Home Visited by Turtles


Casey Key Oceanfront Home Has Loggerhead Crawl

Newly Named Juney, Casey Key Loggerhead Builds Nest - Original Article June 2008

Built in 1979, 2821 Casey Key Rd has had many families, renters, vacationers return. Year after year, these beachgoers come back to Casey Key to revisit the familiar private beach they love. The loggerhead returns to the familiar also.

Saturday night Nick & Kathleen Herron and their good friends from Atlanta were sitting on the deck outside this wonderful beach house on the sands of the Gulf of Mexico when red dotted lights could be seen coming down the beach. The Casey Key group was little nervous with visions of aliens invading the beach. The aliens with red lighted hats were from Mote Marine and were tracking a turtle. The loggerhead was estimated to weigh over 300 pounds by Linsley and Alison of Mote Marine. Kathleen quickly named her Juney.

Juney crawled from the Gulf and slowly pulled herself by her flippers to a spot right next to the beach steps. She dug her hole in the sand to lay eggs. Juney buried the eggs and returned to the water on Sunday morning. It will be several days, 50 or so before the eggs, approximately 104, begin to hatch and Juney's babies begin hopefully crawl to the sea. Kisses was quite facinated although unsure as she met "big" Juney in person/turtle.

Nick and Kathleen sent Snuffy and I an email about the excitement at the beach and invited us to visit June's nest after my open house on Sunday at 708 Casey Key Road. I dropped Snuffy off at the beach house to romp with Kisses and headed to my open house around noon. Nick held 927 Casey Cove open, our beautiful bayfront listing too.
It was a great day to be at the beach as thunderstorms rolled in from the Gulf to cool the air for a perfect turtle watch and cookout in the evening with the Herrons.

In the summers, Kathleen and Nick Herron of the Herron Group with RE/MAX Alliance Group pack up their "fun stuff" at the Venetian Golf & River Club home and move to Casey Key. The Herrons, like many others return to Casey year after year to enjoy beach life. This year they've had two visitors, a Casey Key redbird and now Juney, the sea turtle. Snuffy and I are lucky we get invited too and last night we met their friends, Jeanette and Jim who the Herrons neighbors at Venetian. Jim loves to fish and brought his pole and Jeanette, like me, loves collecting shells. Kathleen & Kisses headed off for a power walk after dinner as Jeannette, Nick and I combed the beach with Snuffy for shells and Snuffy for smells.

We'll keep you posted on the Herron ongoing summer fun at the beach and Juney's babies' loggerhead activity on Casey Key.

You can track the loggerheads and read articles about the loggerheads as well. From the sea turle site, you can adopt a turtle too.

We now have one home for sale on Casey Key protected by a redbird and now a loggerhead's nest in the backyard of another listing. Casey Key although very private is quite active this summer. We hope you'll keep returning to our Casey Key beach blog often!

Redbird Extends Casey Key Home Visit

4024 Casey Key Rd., Has a Feathered Visitor!

Original article published May 2008

Built in 1979, 4024 Casey Key Rd has hosted many visitors. In the summers, Kathleen and Nick Herron of the Herron Group with RE/MAX Alliance Group pack up their "fun stuff" and stay in this delightful Casey Key home. This year the Herrons have one extra visitor who is entertaining them. A beautiful redbird decided to stop by and stay. He flies into the windows often and Kisses, their Bishon is mystified.

I pulled up an article on the web about redbirds and passed on the info to Nick and Kathleen. According to the article Mr. Redbird "can be aggressive when defending his territory, and frequently attacks other males who intrude. This tendency sometimes leads cardinals to fly into glass windows, when they charge an "intruding bird" that is really their own reflection." How nice this home for sale on Casey Key is protected by a redbird! Hopefully he will realize the Herrons and Kisses can take care of the gorgeous views, the dock and beach without his help.

Casey Key is such a special place. Not many Florida beach areas offer Gulf front homes as developers razed older homes and built huge condominiums in place of the old Florida beach cottages. A private island located south of Sarasota and Siesta Key but easy driving distances to all the amenities of Sarasota, Florida, Casey Key is a tropical paradise. Residents enjoy biking, fishing and walking on the beach as well as a luxury resort lifestyle.

Our current Casey Key FL istings:

927 Casey Cove Drive, $5,600,000

Best Places to Retire

Best Places to Retire, Venice Florida

From an article dated: September 2007

Venice Florida used to be the place our Sarasota real estate buyers would ask about when they couldn't afford home on Casey Key or Sarasota. Now, Venice is on U.S. News and World Report's Best Places to Retire list and the world knows about this coastal town and its "traditional small town" feel. Read entire article.

We can walk or bike to just about anything—activities, shopping, doctors, whatever," says Paul Cline, who retired to Venice with his wife, Diane, nine years ago. The couple was drawn to Venice's cozy design, which emphasizes a mix of housing that is close to shops and services, undeveloped beaches, neighborhood parks and—unusual for Florida—sidewalks.

Casey Key residents also enjoy shopping and dining in Venice as it is a short drive away.

If you are thinking of listing your Venice Fl real estate, Casey Key property or buying in the area, call Kathleen and Nick Herron. Our group specializes in distinctive real estate in Sarasota FL and adjacent barrier island communities including Sarasota, Casey Key, Siesta Key, Manasota Key, and Venice.
