Gardens By The Sea is a low-rise coastal condominium complex built in 1973 and arranged across three stories. The property primarily offers one- and two-bedroom layouts with features commonly found at the unit level such as split-bedroom plans, walk-in closets, first-floor and second-floor entry options, screened or enclosed porches/balconies, and interior elements like breakfast areas, separate dining spaces, and tubs/showers. Common areas emphasize resort-style shared amenities: a heated pool, clubhouse with barbecue and social space, landscaped courtyard and outdoor living areas, laundry facilities, shuffleboard and putting green, and private beach access across A1A. Recent capital work includes concrete restoration completed in 2024 and routine building refreshes; many units report upgraded mechanicals such as newer A/C and water heaters and full impact windows and doors. Parking consists of designated spaces plus guest spots; the property has elevator access and security features including high-impact doors. The community is pet-friendly, allows flexible short-term rentals with a 30-day minimum up to a limited number per year, and is positioned within easy walking distance of the ocean, restaurants, shops, and major thoroughfares in the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea/Pompano Beach corridor, supporting beach-oriented, seasonal, or investment lifestyles.
