Property Description
There are places you visit, and then there are places that quietly claim you. This highly perched oasis at Lido Beach Club is unmistakably the latter. Set directly on the Gulf of America, this beautifully reimagined two-bedroom, two-bath residence offers 1,534 square feet of refined coastal living where the presence of the water becomes part of everyday life. Both Bedrooms, plus the large living space all share the same spectacular gulf panoramic views. From the moment you step inside, natural light streams through hurricane-impact windows and sliders, guiding your eye straight to the open horizon. Two private lanais overlook uninterrupted gulf views, offering a front-row perspective of changing skies, passing sailboats, and evenings defined by vivid sunsets over open water. The property has been completely remodeled with thoughtful restraint, blending clean, contemporary finishes with a relaxed coastal sensibility. Offered furnished, the residence feels immediately welcoming and move-in ready, allowing a new owner to begin enjoying the space from day one. The interiors are calm, intentional, and inviting, equally suited for quiet mornings, effortless entertaining, or extended stays throughout the season. Beyond its appeal as a personal retreat, the property has demonstrated strong rental performance, having enjoyed two successful years of past rentals. This history provides flexibility for buyers who value both lifestyle and income potential, while still preserving the home’s peaceful, residential feel. What truly sets this residence apart is the experience beyond the walls. Walk directly from the building onto soft welcoming sand and into a daily rhythm shaped by sunshine, sea air, and long shoreline walks. Enjoy full amenities' such as glistening pool, pickleball court, gym and more. For those arriving from colder climates, this is an immediate and tangible contrast to winter routines, coats, and crowds. For local buyers, it represents a rare opportunity to own a true gulf-front home with direct beach access in one of Sarasota’s most established and sought-after beachfront communities. Whether enjoyed as a primary residence, a seasonal escape, or a refined coastal retreat with proven rental appeal, Residence 1001 offers a lifestyle defined by light, location, and connection to the water. This is more than a condominium. It is a place where days slow down, perspectives shift, and the Gulf is always just beyond the glass.
