Overview

Unforgettable. Unmatched. Unrivaled. Welcome to Lido Beach Club. From the moment you step inside this spectacular, beautifully updated 2nd-floor residence, you’ll feel as though you’ve arrived at your own private luxury suite and on a permanent vacation. The instant you enter, an explosion of blue skies, turquoise waters, and endless coastline greets you, creating a front-row experience of Sarasota’s most breathtaking sunsets. This home doesn’t just impress—it absolutely captivates. Every detail of this 1,421-square-foot residence has been elevated to capture the essence of luxury coastal living. The A/C system and water heater were replaced just last year, giving you immediate peace of mind, while the open, airy layout pulls your eyes straight to the sweeping Gulf views that define every room. The kitchen feels like it belongs in a five-star resort. Solid wood cabinetry pairs with rich granite countertops, tiled backsplashes, and sleek stainless-steel appliances to create an atmosphere that is both elegant and energizing. It’s the perfect setting for morning coffee, evenings with friends, or simply admiring the beauty of the shoreline from your own dining space. The two bedrooms each offer a magical, immersive experience with floor-to-ceiling windows that make the Gulf feel close enough to touch. Both en-suite bathrooms have been transformed into spa-level retreats, featuring exquisite tilework, seamless glass showers, and refined, modern finishes that elevate your daily routine into something extraordinary. This is where luxury meets serenity—every moment feels indulgent. Step onto the private balcony and let the warm Gulf breeze wrap around you as you take in wide, unobstructed water views framed by classic wrought iron detailing. It’s a picture-perfect vantage point, complete with a charming glimpse of the Ritz-Carlton Beach Club next door, reminding you that you’re living at one of the most coveted addresses on the entire coastline. Life at Lido Beach Club feels like being on permanent vacation. The building is expertly managed and offers resort-style amenities designed for relaxation and enjoyment. A heated beachfront pool with tropical Tiki seating creates a dreamy setting for quiet afternoons. A serene garden provides moments of calm, while a well-equipped fitness room and a welcoming social room give residents beautiful spaces to connect and unwind. Gated access leads directly to the silky sands of Lido Beach, and convenient assigned parking with additional ground-floor storage ensures effortless everyday living. The location is simply phenomenal. Nestled on the exclusive south end of Lido Key, the residence is steps from the water, across from the lush natural beauty of South Lido Park, and next door to the iconic Ritz Tiki Bar. St. Armands Circle—with its world-famous shopping, dining, and entertainment—is just one mile away, and vibrant downtown Sarasota is only a quick ride via the free Bay Runner trolley. This home is more than a coastal retreat; it’s a daily invitation to live life inspired. Luxury, beauty, and the magic of Sarasota’s waterfront come together in a way that feels truly extraordinary. This is your chance to embrace the Sarasota lifestyle at its absolute finest.
