Roberts Point on Siesta Key has luxury homes and calm boating water

There is no sign on Higel Avenue at the entrance to Roberts Point, one of the more exclusive neighborhoods on the northern part of Siesta Key. But turn onto the eponymous road and you’re soon in a community that combines a superb maritime location, lush tropical Florida vegetation, and a variety of elegant luxury homes. “It’s a lovely, dead-end enclave,” said Ray Collins, a realtor with Coldwell Banker. “Suddenly you’re surrounded by water on both sides. It’s quite magical.” The community and adjacent bay are named after Captain Lewis Roberts who settled on the barrier island in the early 1880s with his wife, Ocean Deep Hansen. Then known as Sarasota Key, it was rife with swarms of mosquitoes, snakes, Florida panthers and wild boars.
