240 Sands Pt Rd

A low-rise, six-story condominium complex built in 1982 and located on Longboat Key, Florida, composed primarily of one-bedroom residences. The architecture is typical of early 1980s resort construction with low-density massing, expansive terraces and sliding-glass doors that prioritize coastal views and indoor–outdoor living. Units commonly feature open floorplans, eat-in kitchens, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, crown molding, ceiling fans and walk-in closets; many have been refurbished with updated kitchens and baths. Common elements include elevators, shared storage, exterior lighting, irrigation and outdoor showers for beach access. Grounds offer recreational courts—tennis in particular—sidewalks and direct beach frontage with balcony views across the Gulf. On-site operations reflect a condominium-hotel model tied to a larger resort: units may participate in a professional rental program, benefit from concierge and housekeeping services, and gain access to resort dining and wellness facilities. Owners can opt out of the rental program with notice, and many residences are sold furnished for immediate rental use. The property is set within the gated Longboat Key Club & Resort enclave, adjacent to golf courses, a marina and club amenities, and it provides easy access to nearby dining, shopping and cultural attractions in Sarasota via the nearby bridge.
