About this home
Direct Gulf-front living, uninterrupted beach views and spectacular sunsets define this furnished retreat at The Castillian on Longboat Key. Positioned in the South Building, Residence #204 offers a front-row perspective of the Gulf of Mexico, with expansive water views from nearly every room. Thoughtfully maintained and updated, this two-bedroom residence offers 1,362 square feet of interior living space, including an enclosed Gulf-front terrace that creates a comfortable extension of the residence.
From the moment you enter, the Gulf becomes the focal point. A light-filled, open living and dining area leads directly to the enclosed terrace, where floor-to-ceiling glass frames turquoise water, the natural dune landscape and the beach beyond. Impact sliding glass doors open to welcome refreshing Gulf breezes, creating a versatile space for enjoying the ever-changing coastal scenery and everyday living.
The east-facing eat-in kitchen, updated in 2017, combines functionality with a fresh coastal aesthetic. Quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and shaker-style cabinetry complement the generous workspace, while a convenient laundry closet adds everyday practicality. The kitchen connects naturally to the living and dining areas, creating an easy flow for entertaining.
A split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for owners and guests. The Gulf-facing primary suite offers beautiful water views, a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath updated in 2017 with quartz finishes and a glass-enclosed shower. The guest bedroom is comfortably separated from the primary suite and is served by a similarly updated second bath. Offered turnkey furnished, the residence is ready for immediate enjoyment as a full-time island home or seasonal getaway.
Additional conveniences include deeded under-building parking and a separate storage unit.
Beyond the residence, The Castillian offers the intimate atmosphere of a 60-residence beachfront community, with two buildings overlooking the Gulf. Its beautifully maintained grounds and collection of amenities encourage an easygoing coastal lifestyle. Spend afternoons beside the heated Gulfside swimming pool, unwind in the hot tub or gather with friends at the clubhouse and outdoor grilling area. Tennis, kayak storage and opportunities for walking and biking add to the appeal, while more than 700 feet of beachfront places Longboat Key’s soft sand and sparkling Gulf waters just steps from your front door. The community is pet-friendly, subject to association restrictions.
The Castillian’s central Longboat Key location also provides convenient access to the island’s waterfront restaurants, golf, tennis and marinas. To the south, St. Armands Circle offers boutique shopping, restaurants and cafés, while Downtown Sarasota is home to acclaimed dining, galleries, theaters, Sarasota Opera, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and the scenic Bayfront. To the north, Anna Maria Island and the charming coastal communities of Manatee County offer additional opportunities for exploring Southwest Florida....
