5000 Gulf Blvd

A low-rise beachfront condominium completed in 1970, this nine-story boutique complex offers predominantly two-bedroom residences arranged around four units per floor. Architecture is mid-century coastal: simple block massing with functional balconies and large windows oriented to maximize Gulf and bay views. Interiors commonly feature open floorplans, eat-in kitchens, crown moldings, tray ceilings, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, walk-in closets and built-in storage; many units have been updated with tile or travertine floors, granite counters and hurricane-rated windows or shutters. Common areas are compact and beachfront-focused: a heated pool and adjoining patio with lounge chairs and grills, an outdoor shower and gated beach access, a social/club room, shuffleboard and volleyball courts, and landscaped tropical plantings. Practical conveniences include keyed elevators with restricted access, a laundry room on each floor plus additional storage closets, a private one-car garage available with select units, covered parking and mail facilities. Exterior infrastructure supports coastal living with irrigation, perimeter lighting, fences, awnings and hurricane protection. Pet and service policies vary by unit; building management emphasizes short approval times for certain sales programs. The site sits directly on St. Pete Beach within walking distance of restaurants, shops and beach activities, with easy access to downtown St. Petersburg and regional airports.
