Holiday Harbor is one of the most geographically unique neighborhoods in Sarasota County. Located on the shores of Little Sarasota Bay and west of the Tamiami Trail between Siesta Key and Bird Key, Holiday Harbor has the distinction of being in an elevated zone despite being a waterfront community.

The real estate at Holiday Harbor ranges from the cozy to the magnificent. Some of the waterfront estates are spectacular gated mansions with their own spa and swimming pool listed at under $8 million. At the other end of the housing spectrum, Florida ranch-style homes located a bit further inland sometimes come on the market at less than $150K.

House hunters who arrive at Holiday Harbor are fascinated by the bayfront that many homes enjoy. This residential community is ideal for those who enjoy fishing and boating. Hidden Harbor Marina is located just north of the neighborhood, and it recently expanded its eastern canal for the convenience of Holiday Harbor residents.

Although Holiday Harbor is a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, it is by no means isolated. The Westfield Sarasota Square Mall and surrounding shopping district is within walking distance. When it comes to going to the beach, Holiday Harbor residents can choose between the dazzling white sandy beaches of Siesta Key to the north and the seashell-rich shores of Casey Key to the south.

Golf courses, racquet clubs and state parks are within short driving distance of Holiday Harbor. School-age students are served by Gulf Gate Elementary, Sarasota Middle and Suncoast Polytechnical High Schools.
