Property taxes
✓ Based on certified county tax rollMany first-time Florida buyers are surprised when property taxes jump after closing. This estimate helps you budget before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment doesn’t transfer to a new buyer.

About this home
Virtually Staged. Hourglass Lakes, Lot 1 — the end-unit villa on the corner, first home in off Idle Sands Drive, which means neighbors on one side only and windows on three. Two bedrooms, two baths, 1,600 square feet under air with a 554-square-foot attached two-car garage and a full driveway.
Vaulted ceilings and impact-rated sliding glass doors open up the 16x15 living room, with crown molding and built-ins carrying through the main living areas. Vinyl plank runs through the living, dining, and kitchen; the bedrooms and family room are laminate. The 13x10 kitchen has Corian counters, generous cabinetry, and a separate 10x6 dinette for morning coffee.
The split plan puts the 16x12 primary on its own side with a walk-in closet and a 12x8 en-suite bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom runs 12x20 — unusually large for this floor plan — and an 18x11 enclosed family room off the back works as an office, studio, or third living space. The end-unit position pays off outside: a covered front porch plus two screened side patios with privacy walls, none of which the interior units get.
The sliding glass doors are impact-rated. The structure is masonry with stucco and a concrete tile roof. HOA is $500 quarterly and covers the community pool and its maintenance, recreational facilities, common area taxes, and escrow reserves, with a clubhouse and sidewalk-lined streets around the lakes.
Pets are permitted. Schools are Taylor Ranch Elementary, Venice Area Middle, and Venice High. A shopping plaza is 1 mile out; Manasota Key Beach is 3.2 miles, downtown Venice 5.2, Wellen Park Downtown 5.5, the Venice Dog Beach 6, Venice Beach 6.2, and Dearborn Street 6.6.

Data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed by the MLS to be accurate.The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $312,900 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 28% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1987 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $167/mo; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 7 active listings competing
- 1 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $312,900 ($165/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 20 Idle Sands Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1987 (39 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- HOA dues are listed at $167/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Sarasota County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 1,900 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $3,285/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 20 Idle Sands Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 20 Idle Sands Drive was built in 1987 and has 1,900 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 20 Idle Sands Drive in?
20 Idle Sands Drive is in Hourglass Lakes Ph 3 in Venice, Sarasota County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Hourglass Lakes Ph 3 from the same MLS data.
Does 20 Idle Sands Drive have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $167 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 20 Idle Sands Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $3,285 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 20 Idle Sands Drive in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
