Welcome to one of the most desirable rental opportunities in all of Sarasota County. This beautifully upgraded 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhome is located in Nautique at Waterside, right in the heart of the award-winning, master-planned community of Lakewood Ranch. Built for comfort, style, and peace of mind, this home features all hurricane-impact windows and doors, an enclosed and fully screened-in lanai, and an attached two-car garage complete with epoxy-sealed flooring and paver driveway. Inside, the floor plan lives large with an open-concept great room, a full-size kitchen and 3 dining areas—one at the L-shaped bar and another at the island and designated dining room. Upstairs, the primary suite is truly impressive, stretching 17 ft wide by 14 ft deep. You’ll enjoy a spacious en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and a custom built-in closet designed for maximum efficiency. Two additional guest bedrooms are located on the same floor with their own designated full-size bathroom featuring a tub. This home has been thoughtfully enhanced with approximately $20,000 in upgrades, including brand new luxury vinyl plank floors on the main level, new lighting fixtures and dimmers, modern ceiling fans, upgraded faucets, new kitchen sink and hardware throughout, soft close and pull out drawers, a gorgeous marble kitchen backsplash, a stylish great room wall decal and fresh paint, plus custom designer wallpaper behind the great room TV and bar. The laundry room also offers custom cabinetry, folding shelf and hanging rack for added convenience. If the home itself isn’t enough, its location is unmatched. You’re just a short walk to the community’s resort-style amenities: pool, dog park, pickleball courts, playground, and the brand-new dock with a water taxi that takes you straight to Waterside Place. Speaking of Waterside Place… you’re only a 15-minute walk from some of the best restaurants and local experiences in the area, including Osteria 500, Kore, Good Liquid Brewing Company & Distillery, Deep Lagoon, Allswell and Agave Bandido. Enjoy coffee shops, a gourmet Italian market, retail, a beer and wine bar, and endless events every week. Waterside Place hosts the #1 farmers market in the United States every Sunday, Ranch Night on Wednesdays, and live music every Friday and Saturday—plus seasonal festivals and celebrations. You’re also just 5 minutes to Lakewood Ranch Main Street, 10 minutes to University Town Center (UTC) and the brand-new Mote Marine Aquarium, 25 minutes to Downtown Sarasota and 30 minutes to Lido Key and Siesta Key. This location is as good as it gets—closer to Sarasota and its beaches than any other area within Lakewood Ranch.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
