Longboat Key, a world-class island vacation destination, is situated half way between the counties of Manatee and Sarasota. The barrier island, however, is rapidly becoming renowned as a locale where the permanent residence market is growing and luxury condominiums are the primary focus. Located across the bridge from Sarasota, there are numerous condos for sale in Sarasota Florida offering limitless design choices. An enjoyable way to experience these residences is by taking the paved bike path traversing the length of the island.

Longboat Key is mostly comprised of these lavish coastline hugging condos and virtually all boast resort worthy amenities such as, poolside lounges, bars, and upscale restaurants. Tennis and golf enthusiasts of all skill levels will find world-class facilities but other than golf and tennis, real estate on Longboat Key presents active residents even more diversity. Being a water wonderland, it’s easy to enjoy backwater or offshore fishing adventures, parasailing, kayaking, or windsurfing, to yachting and powerboat racing.

For rental income investment or just a hidden away lifestyle, the condos at Cabana Beach Club are some of the finest on the island. A throw back Key West styled two-story resort complex, it was built in 1970 and is situated at 5851 Gulf of Mexico Drive. It’s the perfect choice for short term rentals, but if a charming residence to get away from everything is your desire, this could be the place. The residences are highly affordable, but still boast a long amenities list highlighted by the resort style pool, fabulous Bay and Gulf vistas, BBQ picnic area, private boat docks, and direct beach front accesses.
