Sarasota Condos on Siesta Key Florida

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. For those who enjoy spending time in and around the water, Palm Bay Club Siesta Key features two heated pools, boat docks, fishing piers, a yacht basin and a private beach. The community also features lighted tennis courts, an athletic room, a game room and a private clubhouse. Free Wi-Fi wireless Internet access is also available in all of the rooms and pool areas. 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. With 77 units to select from, Tortuga’s units range in size from 800 to 3,092 square feet. Most units offer 1 to 3 bedrooms as well as enclosed parking garages, beach-front terraces and views of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of the amenities found at Tortuga include a clubhouse, tennis courts, an athletic center and a shuffleboard court. The community also offers an indoor/outdoor heated pool, boat docks and 300 feet of private beach frontage. Condo units in Tortuga typically cost anywhere from the mid-$300,000 to $700,000 range.

Summer Cove is a good option for those who are interested in a newer community with plenty of space. Built in 2007, this 45-unit community offers homes ranging in size from 2,100 to 3,700 square feet. Some of the amenities found at Summer Cove include an athletic center, a card room, a media room and more. Units at Summer Cover range in price from $600,000 to $2 million.

These are only a few examples of the dozens of Sarasota Florida condos that can be found on Siesta Key. With so many communities to select from, those who are interested in enjoying the solitude of the beautiful island while remaining near to all of Sarasota’s attractions are sure to find something to suit their needs and budget.
