5200 Gulf Dr

A low-rise beachfront condominium completed in 1970, this six-story complex contains primarily two-bedroom residences laid out with open living/dining plans, split bedrooms, and walk-in closets. Units commonly include eat-in kitchens, solid wood cabinetry, solid-surface counters, window treatments, ceiling fans, in-unit thermostats and lanais or balconies that capture direct Gulf views. The exterior presents mid-century coastal architecture with sliding glass doors, hurricane shutters and multiple elevators serving common corridors. Shared facilities are oriented to seaside recreation: a heated pool adjacent to the beach, tennis courts, a landscaped courtyard with outdoor grill and shower, and a community room for events; laundry rooms are located on each floor. The property provides deeded storage rooms, one-car garages or carports per unit, gated or secured entry and on-site management including a full-time superintendent. Parking areas and irrigation/lighting systems support the grounds. Located on Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach, the building sits a short walk from shops and restaurants and near the island trolley stop, offering a beach-centric, seasonal-friendly lifestyle with rental allowances and a no-pet policy noted in many listings.
