Looking for a great waterfront home on Longboat Key? Take a stroll with me through the neighborhood of Country Club Shores on the south end of the island. The community is made up of single family homes on and off the water. The water front homes either sit on the canal or the bay front. The bay front homes offer spectacular wide open bay views.
