1065 Gulf Of Mexico Dr

A low-rise condominium ensemble built in 1981, this six-story complex clusters multiple mid-rise blocks around landscaped grounds and water features. Units are predominantly three-bedroom floorplans with split-bedroom layouts, high ceilings, built-in cabinetry and open living/dining spaces; many residences include walk-in closets, stone or solid-surface counters, eat-in kitchens and private balconies or lanais. The community emphasizes coastal durability with impact-rated openings, hurricane shutters and outdoor showers for beach return. Shared facilities read like a compact resort: junior Olympic lap pool and spa, fitness rooms, sauna, tennis and pickleball courts, grilling stations, manicured walking paths and a gated entry with onsite management. Practical conveniences include elevators, covered and open parking, storage lockers and irrigation/landscaping systems. Exterior character is tropical-suburban with expansive lawns, palms and garden buffers that provide golf-course and gulf glimpses from upper stories. Pet and rental policies vary by unit; the property functions equally as seasonal condos, long-term residences, or investment rentals given turnkey furnishing options and established rental histories. Located on Longboat Key’s southern shore, the development sits steps from a private sandy beach and minutes from St. Armands Circle, downtown Sarasota and local airport connections.
