Welcome to Buttonwood Harbour on beautiful Longboat Key.
Buttonwood Harbour, with just over 50 homes, is one of Longboat Key’s oldest and most desirable communities. BH dates back to the early 1960’s, and we have an eclectic mix of old and new homes. It is tucked away off Crane’s Bayou, just about halfway up the Key and within walking distance of The Shoppes of Bay Isles, Publix, the Post Office, a public Tennis Center, and our Town Hall.
Homeowners have found peace and tranquility in this Live Oak tree-lined setting. Our resident nesting eagles are always a beautiful sight to behold when strolling or biking our roads.
Buttonwood Canal ends at Little Buttonwood Harbour and often hosts manatees, rare woodstork, egrets, spoonbills and herons who are resident-friendly. On many quiet nights the whippoorwills’ song will lull you into sleep. The beauty of the area has drawn many local artists, sculptors, and authors to live here and Buttonwood Harbour provides a warm friendliness that makes everyone feel at home instantly.
Buttonwood Harbour has been called by the Longboat Observer “The Neighborliest Neighborhood” on Longboat Key:
“The community evokes a less-crowded, less-formal era, physically and spiritually. People who have lived in or visited Longboat Key for a long time love to reminisce about the way things used to be … Dip into Buttonwood Harbour, however, and you can get a glimpse of it … It is a very peaceful place.”
There is easy access to some of the most pristine, serene beaches in North America. The most perfect sunsets are located within a few feet of Buttonwood Harbour!
All of which makes Buttonwood Harbour one of the most appealing and attractive communities on Longboat Key.
Welcome to Paradise.
