Casey Key and Manasota Key, two of Sarasota’s Barrier Islands are located on either side of the Island of Venice. Casey Key is to the North between Venice and Siesta Key. Manasota Key is located South between Venice and Stump Pass. There are a lot of similarities between the two. Two/ Thirds of Manasota Key is in Sarasota County as well as all of Casey Key. Both Casey Key and the Northern two /thirds of Manasota Key are in a conservation district that was established in the early 1970’s by the Florida State Legislature. This with its zoning restrictions will keep the two keys more like they are with no high-rises, just single family homes, except for the few "Old Florida" motels that were grandfathered in at that time.

Around town, in town, and at home on Casey Key
Around town…
The Sarasota Building Industry Association and the Home Builders Association of Manatee County have joined together to present their annual Parade of Homes for Sarasota and Manatee Counties. This year’s parade begins Saturday, Feb. 21 and proceeds through March 8. Admission is free and anyone can visit the 56 new model homes, 4 remodeled homes, and 11 new communities on the home tour. Visiting model homes is a refreshing way to see the latest design ideas, new green building practices, and creative inspiration for decorating.
In town…
Meanwhile, discussions are flying among Casey Key residents about whether this beautiful, eight-mile stretch of beach-to-bay bliss will become a city of its own. State legislators have agreed to introduce a bill that would allow Casey Key’s voters—563 of them—to hold a referendum to decide if cityhood is in its future. The pros and cons were tossed about during a recent fire station meeting held to debate the incorporation issue, with some saying they needed more control over police protection and building regulations, while others argued that the incorporation efforts were designed to discourage outsiders from coming onto this residential island. Time will tell!
At home…on Casey Key
If swimming keeps your waistline slim and trim, we’re offering a beautiful home on the north end of Casey Key—and it’s the place of your dreams. Perched on the Gulf near Blackburn Point Bridge, the home features two swimming pools. One pool has an unbeatable view of the ocean—just imagine yourself sipping iced concoctions with friends while the sun dips below the blazing horizon at sundown. Next morning, start your day right in the lap spa pool, each invigorating stroke breathing new energy into the core of your being. The property also offers two other buildings for garages, artist studio, or workshop. The home is located at 13 N. Casey Key, and if you are seeking a waterfront home and an active lifestyle, this property is calling your name!
Priced reduced to $3,500,000.
Call 800-789-6580 or email Nick Herron with The Herron Group, RE/MAX Alliance Group for more information about this incredible Casey Key home. Nick and Kathleen Herron are your experts for specialized, luxury island and waterfront real estate in Casey Key, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, and throughout the Sarasota area. Whether you prefer the beach, bay, or back nine, The Herron Group is your top resource. Can’t wait to talk more—give us a call today.

SUNRISE or SUNSET the VERY BEST of CASEY KEY
As you have that first cup of coffee and start to wake-up from your Bay Front or Gulf to Bay home your experience begins. The sun will start to rise over the Bay water front. If you are lucky you may see some fishermen’s boats heading down the intercostals water-way toward the jetties to get out to the Gulf to fish. And if you’re real lucky you may see some dolphin and birds feeding with the beautiful sky & morning sun in the back ground.
Now on the other side of Casey Key Road on this beautiful barrier island we have the other half of the Gulf to Bay property or Gulf front property and it is getting time for sunset. It is time to grab your favorite beverage and make your way down on to the Casey Key beach. Every one of us watching as the sunsets into the water maybe a sailboat will pass in front of the setting sun to add something special tonight. We are thinking maybe tonight we will see that green flash as a bonus to a beautiful light show of the sun setting. (Each night is different & special, never to be duplicated.)
I think that I may like the twilight time the best. Twilight comes right after the sun sinks into the Gulf off the coast of Casey Key and all of a sudden the clouds start to light up with different colors starting where the sun set and then going all the way around. You look back over Casey Key and see more beautiful color over the Bay. The winter time with cooler temperatures seams to produce even more vivid colors. It is like one wonderful dream.
Like our trade mark says: Beach, Bay or Back Nine… Live the Dream. The Herron Group would be glad to help you find your Dream if it is Bay Front, Gulf Front, or a Gulf to Bay home on Casey Key. E-mail Nick Herron or Kathleen Herron with the Herron Group part of the RE/MAX Alliance Group.

325 Casey Key Road Nokomis, Florida
The Herron Group with RE/MAX Alliance Group just re-listed 325 Casey Key Road Nokomis, Florida. This is the lowest priced Gulf Front home on Casey Key…it could very well steal your heart away. It is being offered at $1,599,000 with prices on the key going up to $18,500,000 for a Gulf to Bay property at the North end of Casey Key.
Casey Key is Sarasota’s most prestigious barrier island and home to the area’s most exclusive properties.
You can own this exceptional beachcomber’s haven and enjoy the spectacular sunsets from your glass walled family room or your very own private powdery white sandy beach. The panoramic water views are fantastic and unbelievable.
This is truly “Old Florida Charm” beach cottage built in 1947 and it still has the Pecky Cypress wood ceilings. Most of the homes that were built on Casey Key in the 30’s, 40’s and early 50’s were built with a lot of Pecky Cypress. An old neighbor of mine up at the North End of Casey Key who had an older home with Pecky Cypress told me it allowed the home to breath. Back then there wasn’t any air conditioning or central heating. You had a fireplace or two and most of the older homes were closed up over the summer months. Yet when the owners returned in the fall the homes were fine with no signs of mold or mildew.
On the humorous side I thought he was referring to the appearance of the wood which is holey and grooved as to why it helped the house breath. It probably didn’t hurt.

Casey Key by the Numbers
The saying goes that the only thing that doesn’t change is change itself. That’s mostly true, except perhaps for Casey Key.
The face of Florida’s west coast barrier islands has changed radically over the last 50 years. Old timers recall simpler times on the keys, when agriculture was about the only thing to be found east of Sarasota. As the secret got out, we’ve seen an influx of business, industry, and year-round residents. During recent peak development years, Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key have seen a literal rise in condominiums, hotels, and restaurants. Things have slowed since the recent recession, but buildings are here to stay.
Sure, Casey Key has changed, too. There was a time when young people could light a bonfire on the beach and no one would care. But Casey Key has withstood many of the changes faced by our island neighbors. Drive down our eight miles of peaceful neighborhood streets and you won’t find the crowded hotels, busy restaurants, and sunburned tourists that love our mild Florida winters and pristine beaches. Our small piece of paradise is just that—small. And unspoiled. Numbers tell a story, so here’s a look at Casey Key by the numbers:*
8. Casey Key is just eight miles long. That will never change, give or take a few sand bars.
300. Casey Key is just 300 yards wide. We’re one of the rarest places on earth where your home property can stretch from bay to beach.
563. There are 563 registered voters on our island. We mix celebrity homeowners like Stephen King and Martina Navratilova with old-fashioned, regular folks who’ve achieved their dreams.
411. We have 411 single-family homes here. Breathtaking, most of them. Waterfront designer beauties. And outstanding golf courses are just minutes away.
1. One phone call is all it takes to find your new home on or near Casey Key. Call 800-789-6580 or email Nick Herron with The Herron Group, RE/MAX Alliance Group for more information on Casey Key real estate, waterfront homes, and golf course living.
