About this property

Oceanfront/Beachfront -Sarasota Surf Racquet - Y Building

This exceptional GROUND FLOOR, recently renovated, condo Y101, is one of the most desirable condos in Sarasota Ssrf & Racqet on Crescent Beach. The Y building is the closest building to the beach and large pool. Excellent views and just steps to the beach, ocean and both pools makes this condo especially desirable. Park at your door, No waiting for elevators, no worry about kids on open upper floor walkways.

Siesta Key is very family friendly. Multiple companies
will rent everything you will need for a family with small kids including playpens, cribs, toys, etc...

This large, nicely decorated condo is over 1350 square feet with two bedrooms, two baths. Relax on your sofa and watch sports on the 55" Smart TV. Without moving from the couch, you can look out onto the pool, beach, and ocean. The Condo has its own modem for better internet connections.

The huge master bedroom has a king-size bed, makeup area, large walk-in closet, and master bath. The walk-in closet is the perfect size for a crib, a little person's fort or even a full-size inflatable mattress. The guest bedroom has two queen-sized beds and a bathroom.

Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club is located on the Gulf Coast of sunny Florida, ideally situated on 13 acres of beachfront property in the center of Siesta Key's Crescent Beach - judged 'The World's Finest and Whitest' beach - on the Gulf of Mexico. Made from 99% pure quartz, the sand has a soft, flour-like texture and is cool to the touch.

At Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club, you will enjoy our two spacious heated swimming pools. One is conveniently located in the courtyard area with easy access from all of the buildings and the other is on the beach, overlooking the azure blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We also feature a fitness center and four, on property tennis courts: two clay tennis courts and two Lackold tennis courts. We offer tennis programs, lessons, and summer camps through our association with 'Total Tennis.' Another popular characteristic is our beachside barbecue grill and picnic area - it doesn't get any better than cooking, eating, and playing on the beach!

Take a Tennis lesson on site, rent a boat and cruise the Intercostal, swim in the ocean or heated pool, relax in the lounge chairs on the cool white sand, walk the beach, or just people and dolphin watch. Work out at the on-site workout room. Cook your hamburgers on the Beachside Barbecue Grill and enjoy the sun and surf. Have a daiquiri at The Daiquiri Deck, dance at the Beach Club, or dine at one of the spectacular restaurants...all in nearby Siesta Village.

Visit downtown Sarasota. You will experience the big city sophistication without the big city rush. Sarasota prides itself on its small-town feeling, laid-back mood, and casual atmosphere - it's a locally known reality that you can go just about anywhere in your flip-flops! There is so much to see and do in the Sarasota area - both indoors and out: Get a glimpse of history in one of the local highly regarded museums, meander your way through the lush Selby gardens, cohabitate with Florida's wildlife in our parks and waterways, get an underwater view at the Mote Marine Aquarium or catch a show at one of the many performing arts venues.

Golf at one of the 40 golf courses located within 15 minutes on the condo. Take a day trip to Orlando to visit Mickey Mouse, Swim with the dolphins at Discover Cove, enjoy the rides at Universal, or visit the premier marine park at Sea World.

Just returned from our annual family trip, and once again, we had a wonderful stay! We've been staying in this unit every year since 2020, and it continues to feel like a home away from home.The unit is spacious, exceptionally well equipped, and thoughtfully stocked with lots of extra touches that make our stay even more comfortable. The location of thus condo is unbeatable—you can enjoy beautiful views of both the ocean and the pool, making it the perfect spot to relax.We always look forward to coming back and highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed place to stay! The Host Lynn is very friendly, and always ready to answer any concerns.

We absolutely LOVE this condo. We have been coming here for a few years now and our kids only want to stay in Lynn’s condo! You are steps away from the beach, the views of the pool and ocean are spectacular, and you are on ground level. The condo is newly renovated and has everything you need and more! I love that it is furnished with beach towels, large coolers for the beach, and comes with a 30 laundry card for the laundry room that is right across from the condo. It has an open floor plan and our kids love that. We feel extremely lucky to get to stay here!

The property grounds itself was very nice nice & clean but this specific condo wasn’t really what we expected. The place was pretty dated, the “master” bath if that’s what they are calling it, the Shower was nasty. It had a musty smell and mold all over the tile grout. We also were under the impression that the washer/dryer would be a nice location for everyone, right outside the room but it was one set that uses a pre paid card and it appeared 30 years old & gross. We certainly didn’t use it. I would stay at the condo facility again (if some of them have laundry in the units) & more updated but in a nutshell this just wasn’t near the experience we are use to. The “lanai” is deceiving in the pics, it’s a side view and we felt like it was ocean front and could walk right out but that wasn’t the case. The living room was nice and spacious, the beds were comfortable & all the beach chairs, floats, accessories provided was very nice. The gym was nice too. We had a good week, it just took us a few days to get over a few of the disappointments.

Wow, I am really dismayed by your review. So sorry it wasn't what you expected. I have to say almost everything in the condo is new except the tile floor. I renovated the kitchen and both bathrooms 6 months ago in December. The shower was regrouted at that time. The couches and mattresses were new in March. However, expectation is everything. So sorry.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and the location was fantastic. The unit was well-stocked with plenty of pots and pans for cooking, the beds were very comfortable, and we appreciated having lots of beach chairs and toys available to use. The large TV in the living room was also a nice bonus for relaxing in the evenings.There were, however, several maintenance issues that impacted our experience. The master bathroom shower appeared to have mold, and every time I showered I would start sneezing. There was also a noticeable mildew smell in the master bedroom/bathroom area. A washer and dryer would be a huge improvement, especially in Florida’s humid climate where towels and swimsuits don’t dry well although I sincerely appreciate the money card for use of the laundry machines down the hall. However, unfortunately those were always in use so we had to use the one on the 4th floor. The ice maker in the unit produced ice very slowly, making it difficult to have enough ice ready each day for a cooler. We also found that the hot water ran out very quickly, there were no curtains on the bedroom windows making it difficult to sleep past daybreak, and the kitchen was missing a basic cutting board.With a few maintenance updates and some small additions, this could easily be an outstanding rental thanks to its excellent location and comfortable accommodations.

Hi Stormie, You are the 2nd person to mention mold in the master bath recently. My cleaner is usually fastidious when it comes to mold. I will be fixing that shower within the next month. Its a big job to redo the shower but looks like I have to bite the bullet and do it. You also mention the washer and dryer. I agree it would be great...but that will only increase the dampness in the same area as the shower....but I will look into it. I put in a powerful fan last December but if it is not left on the dampness creates mildew. All the windows in the bedrooms have louvered shades. Just pull the cord and the shades close. Were they not working? You can send me any information you want me through my email or text. Thanks, Lynn

The beds were so comfortable....my husband is even on a search for the pillows in the master! The condo was STOCKED with beach toys, chairs, towels, anything you might want for a day at the beach. Lynn went above and beyond expectations of what was provided to make our week as relaxing and comfortable as possible. Thank you for sharing your place with us. We wish we could reserve for next year, but no surprise it is already booked!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Hock

Host profile image
Hi folks, I was originally a snowbird from Shelby Twp, Michigan. My family visited many vacation spots in Florida but when we visited Siesta Key, we knew that we found the most beautiful place in Florida. We knew that this is where we were going to retire. We bought our Sarasota Surf condo in 2001 with the idea that we would like to live there after we retired. In the meantime, we rented it and people loved it so much that we decided to keep it as a rental and buy a residential condo close by.

Why they chose this property

We bought our Sarasota Surf condo because that is where we wanted to live. The complex was a premier, beautiful complex and we chose our condo because it was ground floor with easy access to the beach, pool and parking. No waiting for elevators. We paid a premium price for our condo because it was in the most desirable building within the complex. It was closest to the beach and pool.

What makes this property unique

Being on the ground floor, you are a part of nature. When we were looking for a condo to buy, we stayed at many condos on upper floors. We found that on the upper floors you lose touch with nature and all that is Florida. You end up looking over the roofs and air conditioners of neighboring condos. On upper floors, you don't hear the ocean, see the palm trees sway in the breeze, see the beautiful flowering bushes. Being on the ground floor...you are a part of nature and all that is going on around you. Plus, the easy access to everything makes it seem like a home not a high rise condo.
