About The Bayou
The Bayou is a neighborhood of 126 custom single-family homes tucked behind two sets of gates in Bay Isles. 49 homes sit on the Bay Isles Waterway. Many of these waterfront homes have their own docks with a protected run out to Sarasota Bay. Other homes line the golf course or have lake views.
The neighborhood holds regular social events to connect neighbors. Events include the annual St. Pat's Day Dog Parade and various parties at the Bay Isles Beach Club. Every owner gets deeded access to that private stretch of Gulf beach, with a covered pavilion, picnic tables, grills, and an on-site attendant.
Optional membership to the Longboat Key Club opens up championship golf, tennis, club dining, and the Moorings marina. Publix, CVS, the library, and the town center sit just outside the north gate, with St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota a short drive south.
