Siesta Key Sunsets

Siesta Key Sunsets

Siesta Key Sunsets are spectacular.  We often enjoy going for long walks on the beach of Siesta Key and having Siesta Key on the west coast of Florida gives us breathtaking water sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico.  Every time we are walking on the beach of Siesta Key you see rows and rows of people taking sunset pictures with their iphones, droids, small cameras, and very expensive large cameras on tri-pods. Siesta Key beach at sunset has become a very popular site for taking family pictures and for sunset weddings. 

Enjoy some of the latest pictures that I have taken of sunsets on Siesta Key.

Prestancia Home sells on Losillias Drive

4066_losillias_dr._prestancia_400

This beautifully decorated and meticulously maintained Prestancia home located on Losillias Drive was recently purchased by one of my international customers.  I had been working with my customer over the past several seasons showing them properties in several different Sarasota country club neighborhoods.   They absolutely fell in love with the Palmer Ranch community of Prestancia.  I think when I took them to lunch at the TPC Prestancia club house and they had a chance to meet Wendi Frindell Crisp, the director of membership services, that help to solidify their decision that Prestancia was their style of living. 

The lunch was outstanding at Prestancia and Wendi could not have been more gracious and informative as…
