1485 Gulf Of Mexico Dr

The Players Club is a low-rise, five-story Gulf-front condominium complex on Longboat Key built in 1981 and configured primarily with two-bedroom residences. Architectural character leans toward coastal Mediterranean influences paired with practical, condo-era construction: stucco walls, broad terraces and sliding glass doors that emphasize indoor–outdoor living and sea views. Interiors commonly feature vaulted or tray ceilings, crown molding, built-in cabinetry and open living/dining plans; many units include updated kitchens with stone counters, stainless appliances, in-unit laundry and expanded storage. Common facilities are substantial for a mid-rise community: a staffed 24-hour gated entry, under-building parking, an updated clubhouse with fitness center, social kitchen and steam rooms, heated saltwater pool with spa, four Har-Tru tennis courts, putting green, outdoor entertaining areas with barbecues and fire pit, and private boardwalk access to more than 500 feet of guarded, resident-only beachfront with cabanas. Grounds stretch across sizeable green space with tropical landscaping and irrigation. Exterior provisions reflect the coastal setting — hurricane shutters, outdoor showers, covered parking and dedicated storage. Pet and specific parking policies vary by unit; onsite management and periodic capital improvement work (including structural assessments) indicate an active homeowners association focused on maintenance and long-term resilience. The location places residents minutes from St. Armands Circle and a short drive across the bridge to downtown Sarasota cultural and dining options.
