230 Sands Pt Rd

A mid-rise condominium resort completed in 1982, the property occupies ten stories of Gulf-front frontage on Longboat Key and functions as part of the larger Longboat Key Club complex. Units are primarily one-bedroom layouts and junior suites with open floorplans, eat-in kitchens, sliding glass doors and private balconies or lanais that maximize water and beach exposure. Interiors commonly include solid wood cabinetry, stone or solid-surface counters, crown molding, ceiling fans and walk-in closets; many residences have been renovated to contemporary coastal standards. The complex operates as a condominium-hotel with an on-site rental program, staffed front desk services and housekeeping options; ownership often carries eligibility for club membership privileges. Grounds and exterior amenities reflect a resort orientation: direct beach access, pool areas, outdoor showers, storage, irrigation and lighting, plus tennis courts and nearby marina and golf facilities through the club. Additional conveniences include elevators, gated access to the Longboat Key Club, nearby dining and shopping at St. Armands Circle, and easy access to Sarasota’s cultural offerings. Pet rules, parking specifics and exact unit mixes vary by building within the resort; many units are offered furnished and turnkey for immediate rental or seasonal use.
