1280 Dolphin Bay Wy

A low-rise waterfront condominium complex built in 1997 with five stories and primarily two-bedroom floorplans (many with an additional den or convertible third bedroom). Architecture leans toward Mediterranean-Florida styling with stucco facades, covered porches and expansive glass to capture Intracoastal and bay views. Interiors commonly feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, open-plan living/dining areas, built-in wood cabinetry, solid-surface counters, wet/dry bars, walk-in closets and a mix of travertine, tile and wood flooring; select residences include enclosed lanais or glass sliders that extend living space. Common areas emphasize recreation and social life: a clubhouse, fitness room, heated pool and spa, three Har-Tru tennis courts, and a fishing pier/day dock. Grounds are gated and landscaped with tropical plantings, irrigation and outdoor grills; some buildings provide under-building or private one- and two-car garages plus guest parking and storage. Practical features include elevators, hurricane protection on openings, on-site maintenance and a social calendar of resident activities. Located on Siesta Key near public beach access and local dining, the community blends active waterfront lifestyle with easy proximity to downtown Sarasota sights and services.
