Every week Snuffy Smith and I head out to Longboat Key to check on a property at Bay Isles for one of my Longboat Key real estate customers. We take the locals short cut before going into St. Armands Circle and enjoy the beautiful homes on Washington St. along the way. Since it is very cold up North, Sarasota's streets are getting busier. I noticed the same thing on the Circle yesterday as well as Gulf of Mexico Drive on Longboat Key.
My security card for gate entrance to Bay Isles comes in handy now with the added traffic. Snuffy and I don't have to wait at the gate to be admitted, however, Snuffy and one of the Bay Isles security guards are quite friendly and no more cookies for the Snufster!
If you are looking for a secure gated community, call us to show you some homes or condos in Bay Isles. The grounds are lush and tropical and there is a beach club with security coded entrance. Shopping, salons and restaurants are a short drive from Longboat Key at St. Armands Circle. You can check out Bay Isles on our website and search for properties for sale.
Annette Smith is available to show you homes and condos, market your Longboat Key real estate or help you prepare a plan for your next Sarasota real estate move.

St. Armands Circle for Lunch
Recently, I met friends whose home is near St. Armands Circle at Tommy Bahama's Tropical Cafe for lunch. It's always fun to visit the Circle and a treat to have feast at Tommy Bahama's.
Before joining my friends, I always browse the shop below the restaurant and can't seem to get out without purchasing one of their fabulous shirts for my son. For island wear, the inventory in the shop on St. Armands is outstanding.
Tommy Bahama's offers a relaxed atmosphere and excellent cuisine. One of my favorites is Crab Calloway, yummy! Try the Trinidad tuna for a mouth watering experience too.
Tommy Bahama's is located on John Ringling Blvd. on luxurious St. Armands Circle. We stop at Tommy Bahama's often when showing Sarasota FL real estate.
After lunch, the shops of St. Armands await!
