2165 Gulf Of Mexico Dr

A low-rise beachfront condominium complex completed in 1996, Villa Di Lancia comprises two four-story buildings with a total of 38 residences arranged as spacious three-bedroom units. Architecture is coastal contemporary with wide terraces, large sliding glass doors, and clerestory windows that prioritize daylight and Gulf views. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, tray ceilings, crown molding, solid wood cabinetry, stone and solid-surface counters, open great-room plans, built-in storage, walk-in closets, and semi-private elevator access that opens to a private foyer for many units. Units often include eat-in kitchens with islands or breakfast bars, separate laundry rooms, dry bars, and multiple ensuite baths; some homes offer direct walk-down access from a lower terrace to the beach. Grounds and shared facilities are resort-oriented and include a heated Gulf-side swimming pool with spa and lap lane, clubhouse with catering kitchen and community room, a fitness center with steam/sauna amenities, Har-Tru tennis courts (also used for pickleball), outdoor kitchens and grills, and covered under-building parking plus additional guest spaces and private storage rooms. Property services emphasize security and convenience: a 24-hour manned gatehouse, onsite management, and EV charging are provided. Landscaping is tropical and maintained with irrigation; hurricane shutters and rain gutters are common on units. The location on the southern end of Longboat Key places residents a short drive from St. Armands Circle, marinas, golf, and downtown Sarasota while preserving direct access to white sand beaches and Gulf sunsets.
