An updated two-bedroom condo set in the award-winning, twenty-seven-acre gardens of Bayport Beach & Tennis Club. Private Gulf beach, Har-Tru tennis, a heated pool, and St Armands Circle dining are all minutes away.
Set within the private 800 cluster of Bayport Beach & Tennis Club, Unit 837 is a thoughtfully updated ground-floor home with its own walk-out entrance and a private garden patio. Two bedrooms, two baths, 1,260 square feet, turnkey furnished.
Mornings begin on the lanai with the rustle of palms; afternoons drift between the Gulf, a few steps west, and the bay, a few steps east; evenings end with the golden glow of a Longboat sunset, glass in hand.
Built in 1983 and designed by Tim Seibert of the Sarasota School of Architecture, Bayport is an award-winning, twenty-seven-acre Gulf-to-Bay community celebrated for its lushly landscaped grounds, garden walking paths, and 1,200 feet of private white-sand beach.
We bought 837 thinking we'd spend a winter or two on Longboat Key. Decades later, we still do.
What we love most about Bayport is the rhythm. Coffee on the lanai while the palms wake up. A walk to the beach before the heat lifts. An afternoon swim. Dinner with friends on the bay. It hasn't changed. That, more than anything, is the point.
If you stay with us, we hope you find your own version of that pace. Welcome to 837.
Bayport is an award-winning Gulf-to-Bay community. Every resident and guest has the run of the grounds: the gardens, the beach, the pool, the courts, and the pier.
Twenty-seven lushly landscaped acres. Twelve hundred feet of private white-sand beach. One of the few Longboat Key addresses that reaches Gulf to Bay.
Longboat Key is a ten-mile barrier island between the Gulf and Sarasota Bay. Uncrowded white-sand beaches sit steps from your door, with St Armands Circle shopping and dining, downtown Sarasota restaurants and theaters, golf, and museums all a short drive across the bridge.
Glorious landscaping, a beautiful private beach, a wonderful dock reaching far into the bay, and many other extras.
The property owners are terrific. The apartment was impeccable and met all needs and beyond. We will definitely return.
Absolutely amazing. The best place on Longboat Key, Florida.
Bayport Beach & Tennis Club requires a 30-day minimum rental per HOA. Longer seasonal stays are most welcome, and many of our guests return year after year for January through April.
Rates vary by season and length of stay. Please inquire with your specific dates and we will reply within 24 hours with an exact quote.
Bayport is a private Gulf-front community with 1,200 feet of private beach, a brief walk from your door. The community also fronts Sarasota Bay with a fishing pier and kayak launch. Unit 837 itself is a ground-floor garden home; its lanai opens onto a private patio, while the Gulf and bay are each a short walk away.
One pet per residence is welcome: a cat, or a dog no taller than 15 inches at the shoulder per the HOA. Please mention your pet when you inquire.
The residence is turnkey furnished and includes Wi-Fi, cable television, an in-unit washer and dryer, all linens and towels, kitchen essentials, one assigned covered parking space with a locked storage closet, and full access to the beach, pool, tennis courts, fitness pavilion, kayak launch, fishing pier, and clubhouse.
The season runs roughly November through April, with the warmest beach weather February through April. Summer is quieter and lush, with afternoon Gulf breezes; fall offers the best value and the most uncrowded beaches.
