Island House is located on beautiful Casey Key, a 7 mile barrier island nestled between Sarasota and Venice. Here you can enjoy a quiet, unspoiled tropical paradise, with its white sandy beaches. Spend your days lounging in the sun, strolling the beach for shells and sharks' teeth, or visiting the many shops, galleries, and attractions that Venice and Sarasota have to offer.
The end of the day brings picture perfect sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. You can walk to several waterfront restaurants with a great selection of local seafood. Golf, shopping, bike paths, grocery and produce markets, and many other restaurants are only a short distance away. In 1960, a year after the Island House was built, Fred Kroner "Doc" closed his dentist practice for a couple of weeks at the urging of his friends to take a vacation in Florida.
When he returned to Illinois, he told his friends and family, "I bought a motel". For over a decade after that, he hung a sign on his dental office door, "Gone to where the wild geese go" and traded midwest winters for the warm tranquil shores of Casey Key on the Gulf of Mexico.

We love watching the waves from our room and gathering with other guests on the beach or the balcony at sunset and toasting to another perfect day spent at our beach paradise - the Island House!
I went to the Island house with my daughter in Feb.
It was so great!
I had a great time and so did my daughter.
Out in the water with the other lady guest was a fun time, getting to know everyone and just enjoying our day.
This is the kind of place I want to go back to and I will soon.
Thank you to the staff also for making us feel so welcome.
