5055 Gulf Of Mexico Dr

Club Longboat is a low-rise condominium community built in 1973 with three stories and a mix of two- and three-bedroom residences configured as traditional flats and a few two-level units that read like townhouse-style homes. The complex presents a garden-like, park setting with meandering paved walkways, mature tropical landscaping and roughly 750 feet of private Gulf frontage. Architectural character is mid-20th-century coastal condominium: stucco façades, multiple lanais/balconies, sliding glass doors and a mix of ground-floor and upper-level homes with large west-facing exposures for sunset views. Interiors commonly feature high or vaulted ceilings, built-ins, crown and tray moldings, open living/dining arrangements, updated kitchens with solid counters and wood cabinetry, in-unit laundry, and upgraded impact sliders/windows in many homes. Community amenities emphasize recreation and social life: eight Har-Tru tennis courts (on-site pro and organized play), two heated pools, a hot tub/sauna, fitness room, clubhouse with party room/library/kitchen and regular seasonal social programming. Practical conveniences include covered owner parking, additional guest parking, storage closets for beach gear, onsite property management, favorable rental rules (short-term leasing with seasonal demand), and a pet-friendly policy. The setting places residents steps from white-sand beaches and within short driving distance of St. Armands Circle, Anna Maria Island and downtown Sarasota cultural and dining destinations.
