Kick back and relax in this great condominium located in a small, friendly beachside complex on Longboat Key. Longboat is a beautiful, pristine island nestled alongside the dynamic city of Sarasota.
This unit offers island style furnishings; new, white kitchen; and tile floors for that "barefoot" casual atmosphere you want for your beach getaway. New carpet in bedrooms, new washer/dryer in unit,and new, updated baths and kitchen keep this unit fresh and in great condition!
Look out to colorful tropical gardens, walk 50 steps from the front door to the heated 25X60 foot sunny pool and miles of semi-private beach. No need to drag those cumbersome beach chairs! Chairs and umbrellas are set up, inviting you to come and relax. Grill steaks on the immaculate BBQ grills, and catch a game of tennis on the complex’s courts.
Ground floor location means NO stairs to climb from parking lot, into the condo, to the pool and to the beach! Easy access for all! Senior friendly! Toddler and baby stroller friendly! Easy to carry that cocktail to the beach to watch sunsets or carry an array of plastic toys to build sandcastles and collect shells.
The beach and water at Longboat are the envy of many other vacation destinations: 14 miles of white sand perfect for walking, running, shelling, and making sand castles. The calm, shallow, turquoise waters are wonderful for small children to play in and older adults to wade in. Swim, frolic, search underwater for sand dollars, float leisurely on the waves- the Gulf provides a friendly playground for everyone. Dolphins swim up and down the Key daily and in the summer, you might catch a female Loggerhead turtle laying her eggs late at night. Herons, egret's, sea gulls, pelicans, sandpipers, and other fascinating wildlife come visit with you on the beach. Can you find the shell of a horseshoe crab on the beach? How about a sea urchin, or little ghost crab running to their hole in the sand? Relax, swim, explore, the choice is yours at our condominium!
Longboat Key, Sarasota, and the surrounding areas offer a multitude of activities for every age and interest, within minutes of the condominium. Shop the world renowned St. Armand’s Circle, eat burgers beachside or dine on award winning gourmet cuisine at one of the many restaurants found in the area. Watch local and national theatrical productions, visit the Sarasota Symphony, Opera, Ringling Museum, Selby Botanical Gardens, and more. Pet stingray's and observe sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, manatee's and other marine animals at the nation’s foremost research/rescue center - Mote Marine Aquarium. Learn about crocodiles to flamingos at Sarasota Jungle Gardens. Rent any kind of water sport including parasailing, wind surfing, kayaking, fishing, sailing, and jet skiing.
One hour away, Tampa’s Busch Garden and Amusement Park can be a great day trip and Disney, Universal, Sea World, and other Orlando attractions are two hours door to door.
But most importantly, the "ultimate" is at your feet: sun, sea, and surf! Gather up the kids or make it a couple’s retreat, You will not be disappointed! "Away from it all, in the middle of everything", this condominium will provide the ultimate beach vacation!
