6700 Gulf Of Mexico Dr

Whitney Beach is a low‑rise, single‑story Gulf‑to‑bay condominium community on Longboat Key, developed in 1969 and composed primarily of one‑bedroom villa and condo units. The architecture reads as classic mid‑century Florida resort vernacular with sliding glass doors, screened lanais, private courtyards and wide patios oriented toward both the Gulf of Mexico and Bishop’s Bayou. Interiors typically feature open floorplans, eat‑in kitchens, solid wood cabinets and stone or solid surface counters, along with finish details such as crown molding, ceiling fans, walk‑in closets and window treatments. Grounds and circulation were recently refreshed in a multi‑million dollar capital program that updated exterior paint, walkways, decking, docks and landscaping. Shared facilities are extensive for a low‑rise complex and include multiple heated pools (one Gulf‑front), boat docks and slips, a boathouse, kayak launch and storage, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, BBQ picnic areas with tiki huts, and deeded private beach access with chaise lounges and a beachside pavilion. Parking is surface lot style adjacent to buildings; storage and private mailboxes are provided. The association permits rentals and is pet friendly; some boat slip availability is on a first‑come basis. Located on the north end of the island, the community is within walking distance of restaurants, a gym and seasonal markets, offering a relaxed island lifestyle that emphasizes outdoor living, boating and easy beach access.
