Sarasota Beachfront Condos For Sale

Beachfront Condos in Sarasota, FL.

Sarasota beachfront condos can be found on the barrier islands of Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key. There are a lot of considerations when buying a beachfront condo, including which island to choose, along with what specific condo amenities are desired. Some Sarasota beachfront condos offer private beach access where only residents are allowed on a particular portion of the beach, while other condos use public access points to reach the beach.

Another important consideration is rental rules, and duration of rentals allows. Investors will gravitate towards 1 week minimum rentals with onsite rental management companies, while buyers searching for a more serene environment will be attracted to rentals with longer minimum rental periods such as 2-3 month minimum rentals allowed.

Additional Sarasota Beachfront Condo Information

Siesta Key Beach Condos

Siesta Key Condos are a great choice for buyers looking for a fun beach vacation vibe. First, the beaches are about as beautiful as you will find across the globe. Siesta Key has been awarded “Best Beach in the U.S.A. multiple times due to the gorgeous white powdery sand which is actually cool to the foot, even in the middle of the afternoon. The beaches are wide, clean, and the main beach pavilion area is impressive. There are many beachfront condos along Siesta Key, with a wide range of amenities offered diverse rental policies. Many investors buy Siesta Key beach condos. Siesta Key is considered “tourist central” when it comes to beach visitors.

Lido Key Beach Condos

Lido Key beach condos are also a wonderful choice for buyers looking for a beach condo to enjoy or rent. There are fewer condos located directly on the beach, and many of them are considered high end luxury condos. However, there are some great options for condo buyers of all price ranges on Lido Key. Lido Key is still fairly touristy, however not as much so as Siesta Key. Many locals enjoy the Lido Key beaches because they are typically a little less crowded than the Siesta Key Beaches.

Longboat Key Beach Condos

Longboat Key beach condos are a great choice for buyers looking for more tranquility on the beach. Most Longboat Key beaches are more private beaches with access for beach condo residents only. Longboat Key is considered one of the more exclusive areas with expensive beach condos. Many residents also join the exclusive Longboat Key Club to enjoy golf, tennis, boating, restaurants and more. There are far less “weekly rental” condos found on Longboat Key compared to Lido and Siesta Key.

Sarasota Beach Condo Real Estate Frequently Asked Questions

Which Sarasota island is best for beachfront condo living?

Depends on your personal lifestyle. If you love people, tourism and lots of activity then Siesta Key may be the best match with its beautiful beaches and energetic, bustling community. Longboat Key has a more tranquil vibe since there are no public beaches on this island. Condo living would include private beach access for a more serene relaxing lifestyle. Lido Key is the best of both with a less crowded public beach and a beautiful shopping district in adjacent St. Armand’s Key; however, there are fewer beach condos on Lido with most considered luxury condos.

Can I rent my Sarasota beachfront condo?

If your goal is to rent, a condo on Siesta Key is the best option for renting due to its high tourism rate. Most Siesta Key condos will allow short term rentals and some buildings have on-site rental management. Condos on Longboat Key may have more restrictions for renting. Please check all HOA rental restrictions and policies before purchase.

Do beach condos appreciate in value?

Yes, beachfront condos do appreciate at a good rate. If appreciation is a buyers only concern though, single family homes are still probably the better investment.
