Lifestyle

While home to many titans of industry, secret celebrities (and one author named Stephen King), the glamour and glitz of the finance, entertainment, and business worlds fade away on Casey Key. Residents seek out the rarified quiet and unpretentious pleasures of authentic island living. Socializing might mean sharing a glass of wine on the terrace or a sunset stroll with like-minded neighbors who also prize discretion as much as unspoiled nature.

Modest beach cottages have largely given way to opulent waterfront estate homes that can command eight-figure prices. Affluent owners may have multiple homes in their portfolios, but few can offer Casey Key’s formula of lazy days spent swimming, shell collecting, boating, fishing, picnicking, and bird watching in luxurious privacy. For more active pursuits, sophisticated dining, and an infusion of culture, Sarasota is an easy, 15-mile drive north.
