When I worked with another brokerage, my friends and I with Team Dunn sold two homes in the Siesta Isles subdivision of Siesta Key: 5302 Cape Leyte and 5439 Azure Way.
What's unique about Siesta Isles? Many of these-single family homes have pools, are on the Grand Canal* and are within walking distance of the beautiful beach at Siesta Key. I could be very happy living in Siesta Isles...what about you?

*From sarasota.wateratlas.usf.edu regarding the Grand Canal which runs through Siesta Isles subdivision on Siesta Key:
The Grand Canal is a 10-mile long network of shallow canals that created an expansive waterfront residential community on Siesta Key. Construction first began on the feeder canal from Roberts Bay and the heart-shaped, inner loop surrounding what is known today as Palm Island in 1945 with the onset of residential development. The remaining canals were dredged in the 1950's and 1960's to provide fill for residential lots and boat access to Roberts Bay and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. Since there is only one inlet to refresh the canal water through tidal exchange with Roberts Bay, the canals farthest upstream in the system undergo limited flushing. There is an advanced wastewater treatment plant that is permitted to discharge highly treated wastewater to the main canal. Although most of the shoreline has been hardened by vertical, concrete seawalls that limit shoreline habitat value, there are some unaltered areas that provide significant mangrove habitat. Wading birds, manatees, dolphins, shellfish, and numerous fish species are commonly seen throughout the canal system.
