Windward Bay boasts over 20 acres of natural grounds, mature tropical foliage, walking trails, water access, and convenient, multiple beach access points in a great location on Longboat Key. The community is also pet friendly, even for large dogs. Start each day with an amazing sunrise in your very own slice of paradise!
