Harbor Acres: One Of Our Favorite Neighborhoods

At Coffey & Co, we think Harbor Acres is one of the best places to live in Sarasota. Its location couldn’t be better and its peninsulas, stretching out into the Bay, make it a truly unique neighborhood. In recent years, Harbor Acres real estate has been undergoing a lot of change, with older homes being replaced by modern luxury residences, but the community still retains its old Florida charm. The area was originally developed in the 1940’s and 50’s and you’ll still see quite a few of the typical single story Florida ranchers of that era.

Living in Harbor Acres, Sarasota

The community has no architectural restrictions and the result has been the development of a neighborhood with a diverse and vibrant feel. New homes are being built in a variety of different styles, though West Indies and Mediterranean are quite popular. One of the things that makes living in Harbor Acres so special (besides the sweeping views of the Bay, of course), is that it’s close many great amenities, both along the water and Downtown. If we had to choose a particular local highlight though, it would have to be Marina Jacks.

Take In Sarasota From The Water

Located just around the Bay from Harbor Acres, Marina Jacks features a restaurant, boating docks, a playground and a water fountain play area for children. It is a beautiful spot to go for a jog or bring you dogs to the park to play near the sea. Marina Jacks also offers a sight seeing cruise that takes you away from the coast and out to the sea, where you can view dolphins and the surrounding Sarasota landscape by boat. You have an option of either a lunchtime or a sunset dinner cruise, but both include delicious dining, outstanding views, and exceptional service.

All seats on the Marina Jacks II have a perfect view of the water. Seating on the inside is nicely air conditioned but you can also venture out onto the open air outside deck which will provide you the best way to enjoy the waters of the Gulf of Mexico! The trip takes you around Lido and Bird Key, along with areas past the Ringling Bridge into north Sarasota Bay. The Marina Jack cruises are an exciting experience, especially if you want to get to know Sarasota’s waters.
