1945 Gulf Of Mexico Dr

Seaplace is a mid-rise, five-story condominium complex completed in 1978 and positioned directly on the Gulf of Mexico in the Bradenton Beach/Longboat Key area. Buildings are laid out across expansive, lushly landscaped grounds that include mile-plus walking trails, multiple lawns and planted buffers to the shoreline. Unit mix is primarily two-bedroom residences with a range of floor plans featuring open living/dining areas, eat-in kitchens, high ceilings, skylights, built-in cabinetry, solid-surface counters, and covered lanais or balconies with garden or gulf exposures. Interiors commonly show traditional trim details — crown and tray ceilings, window treatments, solid wood cabinets and walk-in closets — plus practical systems such as in-unit laundry, elevator access, intercom and pest-guard measures. The community emphasizes shared recreation and on-site services: two large heated pools, a kiddie pool, two hot tubs, a remodeled clubhouse with a fitness center and sauna, Har-Tru tennis courts, playground, picnic and grill areas, and exterior storage. Security is handled through a gated, manned entrance with 24-hour guard presence in many listings. Parking options vary by unit and include covered under-building parking and deeded spaces; there are additional exterior storage and bicycle areas. Exterior features are geared to coastal living with hurricane shutters, irrigation, outdoor showers, and easy beach access. Located minutes from St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota, Seaplace combines beachfront convenience with proximity to cultural amenities, grocery and retail services. The property supports full-time residences, seasonal second homes and investment rentals; landscaping, common-area maintenance and community programming create a relaxed, amenity-forward seaside neighborhood environment.
