Gulf-Front Luxury at The Beach Residences - Ritz-Carlton Living on Lido Key! Ideally located on the 5th floor of The Beach Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, this expansive three-bedroom Estate residence showcases sweeping Gulf views and the signature lifestyle only Ritz-Carlton ownership provides. With 3,300+ square feet of interior living space and more than 600 square feet of private terrace, this property delivers coastal elegance and remarkable comfort in one of Sarasota's most exclusive beachfront addresses. A private elevator opens to a welcoming foyer and gallery hall, revealing a dramatic Grand Salon framed by walls of glass and tranquil Gulf panoramas. Marble flooring, refined architectural details, tray ceilings, and custom built-ins elevate the sense of scale and serenity throughout. Designed for effortless entertaining, the open living and dining areas connect seamlessly to an oversized Gulf-facing terrace-perfect for sunset gatherings or quiet mornings with ocean breezes. The gourmet kitchen pairs functionality with style, offering solid-wood cabinetry, stone counters, a center island, and high-end stainless appliances including built-in ovens, gas cooktop with grill, wine refrigeration, and large pantry. A cozy breakfast area with floor-to-ceiling glass makes every meal a waterfront moment. The primary suite is a private retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets, morning kitchen, terrace access, and a luxurious en-suite bath featuring dual vanities, soaking tub, large shower, and private water closet. Two additional guest suites, one is a generous master-sized suite, provide privacy for family and visitors. Additional features include a spacious laundry room, hurricane-rated glass throughout, custom built-ins, and a gas fireplace. Exclusive to this residence, two premium parking spaces and a secure storage unit are included. The available Gold Ritz-Carlton Members Club membership further enhances this offering, providing access to premier golf, spa, and beach club facilities (refundable deposit required). The Beach Residences delivers an unmatched amenities experience: 24-hour concierge, resident services, oceanfront pool and spa, outdoor grills, spacious social lounge, media room, billiards, library, full gym, sauna, massage rooms, and elegant guest suites for overflow accommodations. A private, resident-only beachfront path invites direct access to pristine sand and turquoise waters. Ideally positioned on prestigious Lido Key, the location blends coastal tranquility with immediate convenience. Enjoy nearby dining on St. Armands Circle, boutique shopping, luxury spas, and walkable beach cafes. Sarasota's celebrated arts and culture-including the Van Wezel, Sarasota Opera House, Orchestra, The Bay Park, and downtown galleries-are just minutes away. Marina Jack, Selby Gardens, Burns Court, and the city's waterfront promenade offer endless recreational options. A rare opportunity to own in one of Florida's most refined seaside communities, this Gulf-front residence is more than a home-it's a private sanctuary shaped by world-class service, breathtaking vistas, and the effortless elegance only the Ritz-Carlton brand can deliver.
