Property Description

Welcome to Gulf & Bay Club Bayside, one of Siesta Key’s most desirable resort-style communities. This turnkey-furnished residence offers the perfect blend of coastal comfort, modern updates, and access to Siesta Key’s world-famous beaches. Designed with a bright, open layout and porcelain tile flooring throughout, the interior feels fresh and inviting from the moment you step inside. Oversized windows and glass sliders fill the home with natural light and extend the living space to the screen-protected lanai, creating an ideal spot to relax after a day at the beach. The updated kitchen features stone countertops, contemporary cabinetry, quality appliances, and generous storage. The dining and living spaces connect effortlessly, giving the residence a comfortable flow for both everyday living and seasonal enjoyment. Both bedrooms provide privacy for owners and guests, and the primary suite features a walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and direct access to the lanai. A second bedroom serves well as a guest room, home office, or multi-use space. Unique Opportunity: We also have a second Gulf & Bay Club Bayside residence available in the same building on the second floor, a townhome layout. Purchasing both properties would provide a rare chance to own five bedrooms within the same community—perfect for larger family gatherings, seasonal hosting, or multi-generational stays.
