Then this is the place for you! Watch the porpoises play literally a few dozen feet away, or a family of manatees leisurely cruise by. Fisherman? Catch a redfish or a snook for dinner, right off your own back yard! Mariner's Cove is an very private 80 unit gated community in Cortez FL, with 2 pools, tennis, a kayak launch, and a private boat slip, which we are told will take up to a 35 ft boat (you can add your own boat lift!). We're just a hop, skip and a jump (locally, we call that a bridge) from Anna Maria island with its incredible array of restaurants, miles of gorgeous beaches and nonstop nightlife. Easily access to Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota, as well. This nicely updated condo has 2 bedrooms downstairs and a big loft upstairs for additional guests. Kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, hurricane sliders among updates, two under building assigned parking spaces, kayak storage, additional storage area, and an elevator, are among the many bells and whistles this second floor unit offers a new owner. Come visit! You'll love it!
