7440 S Ocean Dr

An eight-story condominium complex completed in 1980 and located on South Hutchinson Island, this oceanfront community is composed primarily of two-bedroom residences arranged across mid-rise walk-up and elevator-served floors. Architectural character is low-rise coastal—stucco facades, screened and open balconies, and a mix of corner and mid-building plans that emphasize daylight and water views. Interiors commonly feature open great-room layouts with combined living/dining areas, master suites on the main level, pantry and breakfast areas, walk-in closets, dual sinks in primary baths, and practical finishes such as tile flooring and built-in cabinetry. Common areas include a staffed clubhouse with social room and kitchen, multiple heated pools, saunas, fitness facilities, and outdoor recreation courts (tennis, pickleball, bocce). The grounds are gated and maintained with direct beach access, beachfront terraces, tiki huts, BBQ areas, and private outdoor storage/locker provisions. Practical building services include elevators, onsite management, storm shutters, and a secured parking/automatic car wash area. The association permits short-term rentals with minimum rental periods, maintains a pet-friendly policy, and enforces HOA governance that covers exterior maintenance and community amenities.
