5537 Sea Forest Dr

A low-rise waterfront condominium community built in 1986, the complex spans three stories with two- and three-bedroom floorplans typical of coastal Florida living. Units favor open layouts and high ceilings — vaulted or cathedral in many homes — with skylights, expansive living/dining spaces, and features such as solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, walk-in closets and built-in attic/storage space. Several residences are corner or penthouse units with multiple balconies or wraparound lanais that overlook marina channels, preserves, pool areas or the estuary. Exterior character is suburban-marina: covered parking beneath the building, private entrances, sliding glass doors, hurricane shutters, irrigation and shared courtyards with grills and outdoor lighting. The community’s recreational infrastructure centers on boating and beach access — a private marina with deeded and rentable slips (some with lifts), direct gulf access through maintained channels, and a private gulf-front beach club. On-site amenities include at least one heated pool and spa, clubhouse with banquet facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, sauna, picnic areas, and boat ramp. Building services typically cover exterior maintenance, roof, trash, and common-area insurance, with elevators, secure lobby entry, assigned storage and on-site management. The property sits near shopping, medical services, restaurants and regional marinas, offering a relaxed seaside lifestyle with strong boating and active outdoor amenity options.
