Whispering Sands is a low-rise, Gulf-front condominium complex on Siesta Key consisting of midrise and garden-style buildings completed in 1969. The Sunset House and similar three-story structures contain two-bedroom floor plans with enclosed lanais that run the width of units, sliding glass doors, and features such as crown molding, tray ceilings, walk-in closets, built-in cabinetry, and solid-surface counters. Units often combine tile and carpet or engineered wood floors and include practical upgrades over time (HVAC, water heaters, hurricane impact sliders). Grounds are extensively landscaped around a large natural lagoon and provide direct access to roughly 800 feet of private Gulf beach. On-site common areas include two heated pools, multiple clubhouses with fitness rooms and catering kitchens, a tiki hut and grills, tennis courts, shuffleboard, storage lockers, laundry facilities on each floor, covered/assigned parking, and canoe/kayak racks. The community operates with onsite management, security measures, and an active social program for residents; it is managed as a 55+ community with a no-pets policy in many buildings. Walkable access to Siesta Key Village’s shops and restaurants, plus proximity (10–15 minute drive) to downtown Sarasota attractions, rounds out the lifestyle offering.
