Turtle Bay sits in a stretch of Sarasota where the water is never far, and that shows in the homes that come to market here. It's a small, tight community with easy reach to the beach at Lido Key, the arts-and-dining energy of the Rosemary District, and the older-Florida charm of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores. If you want to be part of greater Sarasota homes for sale without giving up a waterfront address, this is that kind of pocket.
The market here is genuinely thin — right now there's a single active listing at $634,995, so buyers should expect to move deliberately when something fits. Over the past year just four homes sold, at a median of $630,000, with sellers collecting about 95% of asking. With homes averaging 124 days on market, there's room to negotiate, but selection is the real constraint.
Turtle Bay is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
