BREATHTAKING, SWEEPING DIRECT GULF VIEWS set the stage for this spectacular corner, beachfront residence at the highly coveted Lido Surf & Sand. Perched on the 6th floor with a prized southwest exposure, this immaculate condo offers a front-row seat to Sarasota’s iconic turquoise waters and unforgettable sunsets—all you need to bring is your swimsuit.
From the moment you enter, your eyes are drawn to the Gulf, visible from nearly every room through floor-to-ceiling, high-impact sliding glass doors that bathe the home in natural light. This European-inspired residence features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,494 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, ideal for relaxed coastal living and effortless entertaining.
The pass-through kitchen enhances the open layout, allowing you to prepare meals and gather with guests while never losing sight of the water. The spacious great room is accented by white oak wood floors and elegant crown molding, beautifully framing the endless Gulf backdrop. The en-suite primary suite offers a walk-in closet and direct access to the expansive nearly 400-square-foot wraparound balcony, recently resurfaced with modern oversized tile—an idyllic setting for year-round sunset views. The inviting guest suite is also en-suite and includes its own walk-in closet.
Lido Surf & Sand delivers true resort-style living with a newly built Gulf-front heated pool and spa, poolside BBQ area, fitness center, shuffleboard, and a soon-to-be-completed social room. Additional conveniences include in-unit laundry, assigned covered parking, and a private storage unit. Enjoy direct access to the recently refurbished white-sand beach—perfect for morning walks, dolphin watching, and evening strolls. Just steps away, the nearby Rosewood Residences and adjacent protected nature preserve offer kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and scenic nature trails.
Located minutes from walkable distance to St. Armands Circle’s upscale boutiques and acclaimed dining, and a short drive to downtown Sarasota’s vibrant arts, culture, and world-class restaurants, this is beachfront living at its finest—effortless, elegant, and unmistakably Florida.
