5700 Escondida Blvd S

Vista De Oro is a low-rise, six-story waterfront condominium completed in 1981 and composed of just 30 residences, primarily two-bedroom floorplans and larger multi-bedroom corner units. The building’s architecture favors wide balconies and large sliding glass doors to maximize panoramic water, golf course and Sunshine Skyway Bridge views. Interiors commonly feature open living/dining layouts, tray and crown ceilings, solid wood cabinetry, stone or solid-surface counters, walk-in closets and built-in storage; many units have been renovated with updated kitchens, tile or hardwood flooring and impact-resistant windows. Shared spaces include an elevator-served lobby lounge, a small fitness room, a geothermal heated pool and spa, outdoor grilling and dining areas, a private beach and a modest community room for social use. Practical amenities include covered parking beneath the building, assigned storage lockers, private mailboxes, building-level irrigation and exterior lighting, hurricane shutters and on-site maintenance. The property sits on Isla del Sol with immediate access to the golf course, boating launches and bayfront recreation; nearby are barrier-island beaches, Fort De Soto, restaurants, shopping and direct connections to downtown St. Petersburg and I-275. The community’s limited unit count and waterfront orientation create a quiet, resort-like condominium lifestyle with long-term owner retention and periodic unit modernizations.
