It is the tranquility at the Gulf & Bay Club Bayside that will strike most of those who come and take a look at a possible property acquisition at this condominium complex in the famous Siesta Key barrier island of Florida. The property’s enclave exudes a Zen-like ambiance with its lush tropical flora and serene mini-lakes accented with fountains. It helps too that this condominium is situated fronting the placid Little Sarasota Bay. The calm bayside atmosphere may be broken only by the flapping wings of the cranes, egrets, and pelicans that occasionally visit the complex’s environment.
The residential structures at Gulf & Bay Bayside consist of a series of townhomes built in the Key West style, a marked contrast to many of the mid-rise condominiums in Siesta Key. Along with its policy of not allowing motorcycles, trucks, RVs, boats, and pets within the complex, its architectural design contributes to that balmy feeling in this community.
Truly upscale and luxurious, Gulf & Bay Club Bayside units listed for sale with a floor area of 959 square feet can have a posted price in the $400s. A larger-sized option with a 1,495- square-foot floor plan can be priced at the low $500s. What could head a sales list is a 1,835-square-foot unit with a $999,000 tag price.
The floor plans of these units are open and modern; garage parking is available. Almost all units in the complex have dazzling views not only of the bay but also of the Intercoastal Waterway. Gulf & Bay Club Bayside allows short-term rentals that augur well for those owners who want to lease their property and defray cost of acquisition.
Amenities for residents include a clubhouse with a fitness room, two tennis courts, two heated swimming pools, and sauna facilities. There are outdoor areas for barbecue picnics to complement direct access to the nearby Crescent Beach and its award-winning white fine sand. Compared to the neighboring Siesta Public Beach, Crescent is relatively more peaceful and secluded, a fitting supplement to the serenity of the Gulf & Bay Club Bayside residences.
