Casey Key is one of the most secluded and prestigious locations in Florida. Due to its combination of wealth, limited building area (the island is only about 300 yards wide at most spots), and natural conservation that preserves its old world charms, the eight-mile island is a private paradise.Away from the crowds of the public islands, Casey Key Real Estate is just a few minutes away from all the major attractions of the city while existing in its own personal solitude.

The land use of the isle is restricted to single-family residences, with many large estates spread the full width of the shore.  Most estate properties on the island have private beach access to the Gulf of Mexico, as well as boat docking on the Sarasota bay front.  The north end of island has resident's gate that is guarded full-time.  The island is perched at an elevation that ranges between 400 and 450 feet above sea level, higher than most other barrier islands and greatly beneficial for residences on such a thin island. The natural environment and wildlife of the island are fiercely safeguarded by protective legislation, providing the residences with an undisturbed natural habitat, home to a plethora of native species of wildlife and vegetation.  The south end of the key, Nokomis Beach, is the oldest public beach in Sarasota County, which has both beach and bay front, and is known to be the best place in the area for surfing, as well as observing dolphins and manatees.
