Location! Location! Location! Fish from various docks or simply watch the Manatees. If keeping your boat in one of Strathmore Riverside Villa's (SRV) 36 boat slips, the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Siesta Key, Sarasota Bay & the Gulf of Mexico are minutes away by water! SRV is a welcoming 55+ community who actively use the huge pool and patio around it for basking in the sun, happy hour, community cookouts, games and more. The pool area overlooks the marina. Most nights there is a function in the spacious clubhouse such as Mah Jong, Poker, game night, live music & more. Clubhouse has a great library stocked with thousands of books of all kinds, a gym with exercise equipment & party rooms for private groups & other amenities!
