Sandpiper Key
Condominiums
Sandpiper Key Condominiums consist of 215 units in 8 buildings located on approximately
15 acres of beautifully landscaped and extremely well maintained grounds. It is only
one half mile to beautiful Englewood Beach and the Gulf of Mexico, along with
several restaurants, entertainment, beach shopping, boat & jet ski rentals and a convenience store.
There are 2 heated bay front pools, a Clubhouse and several picnic areas on the property.
Sandpiper Key Condominiums enjoy a reputation of being extremely well managed,
beautifully maintained & strong financially. For what is included, our maintenance fees are
one of the most reasonable of all of the condominiums on Manasota & Sandpiper Keys.
There are 60 privately owned boat slips just across the road in the Sandpiper Key Yacht Club.
___________________________________________________________________________
There are normally docks available to purchase or rent if you plan on having a boat.
As of 1/4/2019 there were only 7 units for sale. We have been full time residents at Sandpiper Key
for over 33 years, and during that time have been involved in the sale of approximately
400 units in Sandpiper Key. If you would like information or would like to see the units available,
we would love to answer any questions you might have or show you the units that are available.

FOR THE
Right Place
IN YOUR YARD

36104.27.13.011:Masthead_Full 1/11/19 11:16 AM Page 1
It has been more than 140 years since the first Arbor Day was observed in Nebraska. It has since
become a national observance that takes place on the last Friday in April in most states and recognizes
the importance of trees as well as tree selection, planting, and care. A properly selected
and planted tree can add beauty and energy efficiency to your landscape. A poorly selected and
planted tree can become high maintenance, dangerous, and short-lived. The Energy Education
Council has advice to help you select the tree that is best for your yard.
“This is an excellent time of year
for tree planting,” says Molly Hall,
executive director of the Energy
Education Council. “With some
research and preparation, your
tree will be a healthy and beautiful
addition to your home for
years to come.”
One of the first considerations
is the purpose of your tree. Will
your tree be needed for shade, a
windbreak, or beauty? These considerations
will affect what tree
is suitable for you, and where it
should be planted. Dense evergreens
provide a good wind block,
while leafy deciduous trees provide
shade in the summer.
No matter what purpose the
trees will serve, it is always best
to choose native trees. They require
less maintenance and will
live longer. You can get more information
about native growing
trees from a regional university
Extension office or a state department
of natural resources.
In addition, the Arbor Day Foundation
has a free tree wizard tool
that will help you select the best
tree for your needs. It is available
at www.arborday.org/shopping/
trees/treewizard/intro.cfm.
The next step is to decide where
you will plant your tree. For a windbreak, plant
trees to the north, northwest, and west. For
shade, plant trees to the east and west of your
home. Remember that fast-growing trees
are more brittle and likely to be damaged in
a storm. Plant these trees farther from your
home to protect your home from damage.
If you live in an area that is prone to wildfires,
there are additional considerations to
help keep your home and community safe. It
is recommended that you limit
the flammable vegetation and
material around your home for
at least 30 feet on all sides. Contact
your local fire department
for more information.
Also be sure to select planting
locations that will not interfere
with your utility lines or power
poles. Power outages or interruptions
occur when trees and
branches come into contact with
overhead lines. Electrical arcing
and sparking from a wire to a
nearby branch can cause fires.
Tall growing trees with a mature
height of greater than 40
feet should be planted 50 feet
away to avoid future pruning.
A mature height of less than 25
feet is recommended for trees
planted near power lines. Keep
in mind that trees should never
be planted directly under power
lines, near poles, or too close to
electrical equipment.
Tall growing trees near power
lines must be pruned to maintain
a safe distance from the
wires. If you have trees that are
growing into power lines, contact
your electric provider. Never try
to prune them yourself.
Before planting, take proper precautions to
stay safe. Be sure to call 8-1-1, the national
“Call Before You Dig” number, a few business
days before you want to plant. It is a free service
that gets your public underground utilities
located and marked, so you can dig safely
away from them. Or, contact your local landscaping
or lawn care company, and they will
be able to help you plant your trees.

WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE
DO YOU NEED FOR YOUR
VACATION HOME?
by John Voket
Every homeowner knows they need a full range of homeowner’s insurance coverage to
protect them from the many contingencies that could befall them, from liabilities related to
trip hazards, fire, theft and weather events. What about vacation homes? Do these second
or seasonal homes need special or heightened types of insurance protection?
According to our sources at Selective Insurance
Group, there are a few things to take into consideration
to properly protect your vacation home.
Property crime – If your vacation property is only
used during certain parts of the year, and you
don’t rent it out, periods when it is unoccupied
leave it susceptible to break-ins. Although property
crime—including burglary—fell between
2016 to 2017, it’s still cause for concern, the folks
at Selective say. Burglary still accounted for almost
two of every 10 of the estimated 7.9 million
property crimes in 2016.
What about flood insurance? Flooding can
happen in a wide range of regions, no matter
the time of year or local weather patterns. While
some areas are more likely to see flooding than
others, many regions can experience devastating
flooding. Are you as protected as you should be?
Single-family or condo? If you own a condominium
versus a single-family residence, your condo
association may already have coverage—but
d
physical structure of the condo, not your belongings?
Selective advises condo owners to look into
this with their insurance agent.
Amenities – With various amenities from swimming
pools or hot tubs to trampolines, accidents
are possible, so consider reviewing the liability
portion of your insurance policy and your liability
limit to ensure assets are adequately protected
in the event someone is injured on your property
and files a lawsuit.
Value it right – Property insurance premiums
are determined by how much it would cost to
rebuild your residence from scratch should it be
destroyed. Your independent agent and insurance
carrier can work with you to determine the
appropriate amount of coverage you might need
for a vacation home.
If you want to protect yourself and your home
away from home, consult with a certified insurance
professional before another vacation season
exposes you to an unnecessary loss.
