Our Story:
Our story is not one you hear about often. Kim grew up in a small town in Connecticut and always knew she had a desire to live at the beach.
However, becoming a young mother kept her close to family.
In 2013 she finally made her move to Sarasota, FL.
Greg grew up visiting his Grandparents on Lido Key as a baby through adulthood. He always dreamed of living by the beach it started with his love of surfing.
In 2011 he made his move to Sarasota, FL. On a chilly February day in 2014 our eyes met on Lido Beach. That day our story started and in 2016 we were married on Lido Beach.
Greg had been doing kayaking tours as a side thing. As soon as he took Kim out with him she knew right then and there they shared the same passion for the sea and all the wild life.
In 2017 Kayaking SRQ was born and we’ve been having a blast with all of our guests since. We invite you to take a tour with us and see for yourself why we do what we do.
Come and share in the fun with us...

Private Island Dream Home - Sarasota Luxury Builders
Original article on SarasotaMagazine.com
MICKEY AND NED DAVIS have the area’s coolest commute: a three-minute boat ride from the Mar Vista Restaurant dock on north Longboat Key to their brand-new weekend getaway on tiny Jewfish Key.
Theirs is just the sixth home built on the 38-acre private island plopped in the middle of the Intracoastal Waterway across from Longboat Pass since development began there in the late 1980s.
Fifteen of those acres are devoted to a conservation easement, ensuring that they’ll stay in their natural jungle-like state forever, and seven acre-plus-size lots are still undeveloped. (At press time, two of those vacant lots were listed by Kim Freiwald of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty for $1.2 million and $1.275 million.) The only “road” is La Lenaire Drive, a grassy 50-foot-wide footpath that runs the length of the island.
Mission accomplished
She tasked Ellis with designing a home big and casual enough to accommodate the couple and their two teenage sons, as well as her husband’s grown children and two young grandchildren. At the same time, the home had to be able to handle the fund-raising parties the Davises host for the Gulf Coast Conservation Foundation and Forty Carrots Family Center. “I see it as an investment in our family and our community,” she says.
Mission accomplished: The handsome, three-story, cypress-clad home and adjacent guesthouse have five refrigerators and freezers and can sleep 18. Outdoor showers and a half basketball court, plus plenty of room to store kayaks and fishing rods, make it fun for the youngsters. A closet is filled with family board games. And—in a feat of engineering that took a year—it boasts the only swimming pool on Jewfish Key. (How do you barge a concrete mixer across the Intracoastal Waterway? Very carefully, they found out.)

Jewfish Key Home Owner's Assocation
Ride a boat to work, spend a lifetime on an island.
The residential island community of Jewfish Key, Florida, and its homeowners association, known as Jewfish Key Preservation Association, welcomes you to our island neighborhood via the Internet. The Association is a non-profit, non-political organization incorporated in the State of Florida.
Jewfish Key Preservation Association is dedicated to the care, protection, enhancement, and improvement of our community, generally Jewfish Key.
Jewfish Key, the northernmost island in Sarasota bay, opposite Longboat Pass, is a rare and undiscovered coastal treasure. Here the essence of coastal living has been preserved. Set in an unspoiled environment, nature, history and a unique island culture intertwine to make Jewfish Key an unspoiled jewel by the sea. The island is a neighbor to several nature preserves. Accessible only by boat, Jewfish Key is known for its abundant wildlife & private, peaceful beaches.
Jewfish Key does not intend to meet the needs of all; therein lies our unique character. We invite you to visit us with faith that you will appreciate the simple, basic values we hold so dear.
Jewfish Key used to be two islands, Pickett Key to the North and Fisherman's Key to the South. For reasons unknown, the United States Army Corps of Engineers filled in between the two islands in 1939 as it was building the Intra-coastal Waterway and the two islands became one. The name comes from a natural hole 20 feet deep at the south end of the island which held many large jewfish in past years. Arrest stress with a virtual tour of Jew Fish Key.
