600 Manatee Ave

A low-rise waterfront condominium community built in 1977, Westbay Cove consists of two-story buildings housing mostly one- and two-bedroom units arranged around landscaped courtyards and the Intracoastal shoreline. Architectural character is simple mid‑late 20th century coastal: stucco walls, sliding glass doors, screened Florida rooms, private patios and modest balconies that emphasize indoor–outdoor living. Interior unit features commonly include open floorplans linking kitchen, dining and living areas, built-in cabinetry, solid-surface counters, crown and tray ceilings, window treatments, walk-in closets, attic storage, and ceiling fans. Many residences have been updated with modern kitchens, engineered flooring, hurricane-rated sliding or roll‑down shutters, upgraded HVAC systems and laundry storage off lanais. Grounds and shared spaces focus on recreational waterfront lifestyle: two heated pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a kayak rack and launch, bayfront park seating, walking paths and conversation areas. The association is pet-friendly and supports short-term monthly rentals with on-site mailbox access, exterior storage, irrigation and outdoor showers for beach gear. Parking is surface-level; private entrances lead directly into units. Located on Holmes Beach with easy pedestrian access to Publix, pharmacies, restaurants, the free island trolley and a short walk to Anna Maria Island beaches, the community blends relaxed coastal living with convenient local services.
