Bay Harbour is a low-rise, waterfront condominium community built in 1970 and arranged as two three-story buildings with 39 residences. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts with open floor plans, eat-in kitchens, split-bedroom arrangements, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, crown molding, ceiling fans, walk-in closets and window treatments; many feature screened or glass-enclosed lanais oriented to the bay. The property’s grounds emphasize tropical landscaping and pedestrian paths along the water, with exterior conveniences such as private entrances, outdoor showers, grills, storage and an irrigation and lighting system. Shared facilities include a heated waterfront pool, community room with catering kitchen and billiards/game area, a fitness room, elevator service, bike storage and covered/reserved parking. A deep-water marina and boat slips (first-come, nominal fee; accommodate vessels up to about 42 feet) plus kayak launch and dock access are core amenities for owners. The association appears stable and pet-friendly, with recent building and marina upgrades noted in listings. Located on the southern end of Longboat Key near Islandside Golf Course, the community is within walking distance of waterfront restaurants and a short drive to St. Armands Circle, beaches, and downtown Sarasota, supporting an active island lifestyle with easy boating access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf.
