6111 2Nd St E

A low-rise waterfront condominium complex constructed in 1965, The Sylvette consists of two-story buildings arranged around tropical landscaping and communal courtyards. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom residences with open floorplans, split-bedroom arrangements, skylights in some kitchens, and features such as solid wood cabinets, solid surface counters, ceiling fans, walk-in closets and ample natural light through multiple windows. Many homes include enclosed balconies or screened patios that face Boca Ciega Bay or internal pool courtyards. Exterior provisions emphasize coastal resilience and convenience: hurricane shutters or newer hurricane-rated windows, rain gutters, irrigation, exterior storage lockers, assigned covered parking/carport spaces, and outdoor showers for beach gear. Shared facilities have a resort-like, community-oriented character: two swimming pools (one heated), a heated/solar pool option, fishing pier and rentable boat slips on a first-come basis, shuffleboard courts, grilling areas, bike room, on-site property management and laundry facilities. The layout and low-rise scale create direct, short walks to the white-sand Gulf beaches across Gulf Boulevard and to nearby restaurants, shops, and neighborhood services. Rental policies are moderate with minimum lease terms in place in many units; the complex generally enforces a no-pets rule and maintains relatively low HOA fees that cover utilities such as basic cable and internet in some units. The overall vibe is casual island living with maintained common areas, easy beach access, and recreational amenities geared toward boating and outdoor socializing.
