Direct Gulf and Bay Views on Longboat Key. Enjoy stunning Gulf and Bay views from this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence at The Castillian, a pet-friendly beachfront community on beautiful Longboat Key. The open, eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas— perfect for entertaining or relaxing by the sea. The living room, primary suite, and guest bedroom—all featuring rich wood flooring—open onto a spacious screened beachfront lanai, where you can take in spectacular sunsets and gentle Gulf breezes. The Castillian offers two well-maintained buildings, each with just 30 units and rare underground parking. Recent updates include new roofs on both buildings as well as new landscaping. Community amenities include a heated beachfront pool and hot tub, outdoor grilling area, tennis court with pickleball, and private beach access with incredible sunset views. Ideally located mid-island, The Castillian is just minutes from Sarasota’s world-class shopping, fine dining, cultural attractions, and the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport. The owner has already relocated, so this inviting home is vacant and ready for you to make it your own.
