4835 Gulf Of Mexico Dr

A low-rise gulf-front condominium complex built in 1970, organized as three three-story buildings spread across more than seven acres of landscaped tropical grounds. Units are primarily two-bedroom floorplans offering split-bedroom layouts, open living/dining combinations, eat-in kitchens, and substantial covered outdoor living via balconies or lanais with many directly oriented toward the Gulf. Interiors commonly feature built-ins, crown and tray ceilings, solid wood cabinets and stone counters, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, hurricane-rated sliders/windows, and elevator access to upper floors. Shared property amenities include two heated beachfront pools (one with a lap lane), clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, basketball court, outdoor grills and showers, kayak storage and beach cabanas, plus irrigation systems and extensive exterior lighting. Practical features include on-site management, covered carport parking with storage, designated covered spaces, recently updated roofs and paved drives, and communal services such as a car wash station and exterior storage/garage bike racks. The site emphasizes low-density coastal living with roughly 72 units, direct beach frontage, manicured grounds with citrus plantings, and proximity to mid-key conveniences, St. Armands Circle dining and downtown Sarasota cultural offerings.
