1211 Gulf Of Mexico Drive 603 Longboat Key, FL 34228

Gulf views take center stage in this beautifully updated sixth-floor residence at The Promenade, where an elevated vantage point captures the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the tropical grounds below and glimpses toward Sarasota Bay. Offering nearly 1,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this two-bedroom retreat pairs a light, sophisticated coastal aesthetic with the ease of resort-style living directly on the beach.
Inside, walls of glass draw the Gulf backdrop into the main living areas while filling the residence with natural light. The open great room is designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, with neutral finishes, tile flooring and an effortless connection to the private terrace. Step outside to enjoy Gulf breezes, views over the pool and landscaped grounds, and a front-row seat to Longboat Key’s spectacular sunsets.
The living and dining spaces flow together beautifully, complemented by a stylish wet bar with beverage storage that creates a natural entertaining hub. Architectural wall detailing adds dimension to the dining area, while the soft coastal palette and contemporary furnishings reinforce the home’s relaxed sense of sophistication.
The open kitchen is equally inviting, featuring naturally stained wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances and a newer quartz backsplash. An expansive breakfast bar provides generous seating, while the adjacent dining nook offers another comfortable setting for morning coffee or casual meals.
Privately positioned, the primary suite is a serene retreat with its own Gulf outlook and direct terrace access. Wake to blue water just beyond the glass, then step outside to begin the day in the Gulf breeze. Generous closet space accompanies the suite, while the renovated primary bath offers a spa-inspired setting with a dual-sink vanity, soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower and refined contemporary finishes.
The guest suite provides comfortable accommodations for family and friends, with an updated bath featuring a glass-enclosed shower and coastal-inspired tile. Covered under-building parking and a separate storage unit add everyday convenience.
