Windward Bay Condos for Sale – Longboat Key, Sarasota, Florida 34228

An open invitation for viewing an available unit at Windward Bay is an opportunity that prospective buyers of Longboat Key condos for sale shouldn’t miss out. There are close to 60 units in this complex, but sales listings here aren’t very frequent.

Their superb location along the northern stretch of the 12-mile Gulf of Mexico Drive fronting Sarasota Bay is one of the primary reasons why the current owners of units at Windward Bay would want to hang on to their properties. This area is one of the popular vacation rental destinations in Longboat Key.

As a matter of fact, the Longboat Key Hilton Hotel opposite the entrance of Windward Bay has embarked on a $25-million renovation. This major makeover is expected to be completed toward the last quarter of 2015 and add some 85 rooms to the original 102 rooms in this hotel.

Great residential mix

Developed around the mid-1970s, Windward Bay goes with all the features that make its residences a wise choice among Longboat Key condos for sale whether as a private seasonal home or a rental property. This community’s residences consist of a cluster of bungalow-type villas and condo units in mid-rise buildings within a 25-acre enclave.

The condominium complex offers a pair of swimming pools, a fitness facility, tennis courts and shuffleboard courts for the exclusive use of residents and rental clients. In addition to deeded beach access and a fishing dock, protected boat slips are also among the amenities at Windward Bay. Additionally, a nature preserve provides as a refreshing backdrop for the southern boundary of the property.

As winsome, the Windward Bay complex is nestled amid lush landscaping, with banyan trees, tropical palms, fruit trees and flowering shrubs among the greeneries. All these features come as maintenance-free for the community’s homeowners.

Attractive price ranges

The beach bungalow type villas in this community are typically sales-listed in the $300s, featuring two bedrooms within their floor areas measuring 800-plus square feet. Updated features, such as new sliding doors and windows rated for wind and impact, could further spur buying interest on these units.

These residences are typically in the $300s–$400s price range and have floor plans of between 1,096 and 1,325 square feet, all designed with two bedrooms. The pricier units are the community’s bayfront penthouse condos which afford a sweeping panorama the Sarasota skyline and flaunt recent interior upgrades.
