Have you been thinking about purchasing a residence in one of the many Sarasota condos? If so, you might want to set your sights upon a condo on the beautiful island of Siesta Key. Located in the crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the 8-mile long island of Siesta Key is home to beautiful beaches and peaceful living. Yet, thanks to the island’s proximity to the mainland, residents of Siesta Key condos are located a short drive away from the Sarasota area’s many amenities and attractions.
For those who are interested in calling Siesta Key home, there are dozens of Sarasota condo communities to select from. Three of these communities include Palm Beach Club Siesta Key, Tortuga and Summer Cove.
Built in the early 1970s, Palm Bay Club Siesta Key features 205 units ranging in size from 255 to 1,659 square feet. While the units are relatively small, the community offers numerous amenities.

Condos at Palm Club Siesta Key range in price from $500,000 to $1.4 million.
The community of Tortuga was also developed in the 1970s, but offers more living space than Palm Bay Club Siesta Key.
