NEW PRICE! Nestled in a quiet little community of Villa Gardens and less than 5 minutes from Siesta Key Beach, this property is an amazing value! TURNKEY FURNISHED, this villa is surrounded by multiple, private, outdoor living spaces accessed by hurricane rated sliders that flood this home with natural light and great cross breezes when the screens are used.
