Property Description

Private and EPIC 180 Views! Every day is a vacation living on the beach in this Ritz-Carlton-Managed enclave on Lido Key called “The Beach Residences.” Imagine, dreams do come true at The Beach Residences, where coastal luxury meets seamless living. Enter your private elevator foyer, where floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame panoramic bay, city, sunrise, and moonrise views. This residence offers flexible living options: 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, or 2 bedrooms plus a den, 10 ft. ceilings, timeless travertine flooring, and abundant natural light throughout with walls of glass wrapping around this home.
The main living area opens to an oversized terrace—the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining and relaxation. An open living area with modern sophistication. The kitchen features a breakfast area and bar, a gas range, and premium appliances.
The primary suite is a private sanctuary with two generous walk-in closets, a coffee bar, and sunrise vistas. The en-suite bath boasts a large shower and a garden tub. A separate guest wing offers an en-suite bedroom with bay views and terrace access. An additional study/den can be flexed to meet your needs; it is currently used as another guest suite. Relax on the expansive terrace with sparkling bay views and Sarasota’s skyline. Two pets are welcome with no weight limit. The Beach Residences delivers world-class resort-style living, a private movie theater, two guest suites available for overflow family and friends, a pool, spa, fitness center, social room, game room, dog run, and 24/7 concierge service. On-site is the Beach Club, directly on the beach with over 400 feet of Gulf frontage, offering Five-Star amenities like a resort-style pool, hot tub, cabanas, a tiki bar, a restaurant, and a small convenience store. There is also a Ritz-Carlton trolley that will take you to the Ritz-Carlton hotel in downtown Sarasota. You can experience Sarasota’s cultural venues, festivals, events, and restaurants. After the fun, the trolley will bring you back home. You can also immerse yourself in the charming St. Armands Circle that offers exclusive boutique shopping, casual and fine dining, art galleries, and much more. A short four-minute drive, or if you prefer to walk, just one mile away. With no waitlist for the optional Ritz Beach Club Membership, this versatile residence is designed for refined entertaining and relaxed daily living. Schedule your private showing to experience resort-like lifestyle firsthand.
