Blue skies, white-sand beach, turquoise water and year-round sunshine. This is Florida island living with the Gulf of Mexico as your daily view. Set on south Lido Key between the Gulf and Sarasota Bay, this waterfront residence sits on a prime piece of waterfront. Lido Beach is your back yard. Just a quarter mile south is South Lido Key Park and Ted Sperling Park with outdoor activities like birding, fishing and kayaking through mangrove tunnels. One mile north is world-renowned St. Armand’s Circle with posh boutiques, restaurants and nighlife.

Inside, the light-filled, full Gulf-front layout includes two bedrooms with ensuite baths, a bonus room, and an open great room, dining room and kitchen. Thoughtful upgrades elevate the space, including solid-wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, impact glass windows and doors, in-unit washer/dryer, and remodeled kitchen and baths. This serene coastal residence presents with a fresh, move-in-ready feel.

Newly-remodeled community amenities include a welcoming lobby, Gulf-view fitness room, and a social room with kitchen, along with shower/saunas and bike storage. Outdoors, the beachside pool and expansive deck make it easy to spend the day in the sun with the Gulf as your backdrop.

This is the kind of place that makes you say, “Yes—this is it.” Beach in the morning. Pool in the afternoon. St. Armands for dinner. Downtown Sarasota over the Ringling Bridge whenever you want more variety with its markets, galleries, restaurants and shows. The free Sarasota Bay Runner trolley takes you from south Lido to Downtown Sarasota with multiple stops along the way. Live here, and your days start and end with the beach.
