Beachfront living in the heart of Siesta Key

Our House at the Beach West Tower stands as a prominent fixture on Siesta Key, offering direct access to the world-renowned white quartz sands of Siesta Beach. Completed in 1980, this 8-story condominium complex houses 56 units, each designed to maximize the stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico and the surrounding coastal landscape. The building's location, just steps from the shoreline, provides residents with an unparalleled beach lifestyle while remaining close to the vibrant Siesta Key Village.

Spacious two-bedroom units with panoramic views

Our House at the Beach West Tower features uniformly sized units, each offering 1,204 square feet of living space. These two-bedroom, two-bathroom condos are designed to make the most of their beachfront location. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive balconies provide breathtaking views of the Gulf, Siesta Key Village, and downtown Sarasota. The units boast open-concept layouts, with living and dining areas that seamlessly flow into one another. Many condos have been updated with modern finishes, including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and elegant ceramic tile flooring throughout. Kitchens often feature pass-throughs to the living space, enhancing the open feel and allowing for easy entertaining. Primary bedrooms typically offer eastern views towards downtown Sarasota, while guest bedrooms capture the stunning beach vistas. Updated bathrooms, some with walk-in showers, add a touch of luxury. In-unit laundry facilities, including full-size washers and dryers, provide added convenience. With sale prices around $970,000, these units offer a combination of space, views, and location that is hard to match on Siesta Key. The generous 46-foot expanse of sliding glass doors in many units creates an almost 270-degree panorama, immersing residents in the coastal environment.

Resort-inspired amenities steps from the sand

Our House at the Beach West Tower offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the beachfront lifestyle. The heated pool provides a refreshing alternative to the Gulf waters, while the tennis courts cater to active residents. A covered pavilion with a grilling area serves as a perfect spot for outdoor gatherings and barbecues. The building's pet-friendly policy allows residents to enjoy island life with their furry companions. For added convenience, the complex features 24-hour access, air conditioning throughout common areas, and elevator service to all floors. Each unit comes with assigned parking, with some benefiting from covered spots under the building. The onsite management and rental office provides support for residents and assists those interested in generating rental income from their properties. The building's location directly across from Siesta Beach means that the powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico are essentially an extension of the property's amenities. This proximity to one of America's top-rated beaches is perhaps the most coveted feature of living at Our House at the Beach West Tower.

Island paradise with small-town charm

Siesta Key, an 8-mile long barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, is renowned for its pristine beaches and laid-back atmosphere. Our House at the Beach West Tower is ideally situated to take advantage of all the island has to offer, from its world-famous beaches to its charming village center. The building's location puts residents within reach of Siesta Key Village, the island's commercial hub. The Village offers a diverse array of dining options, boutique shopping, and nightlife. Beach Bazaar, a local favorite for beachwear and souvenirs, is about a mile from the condominium. For everyday needs, Morton's Siesta Market is conveniently located about a mile away, offering gourmet groceries and prepared meals. While the area is primarily car-dependent, these amenities are within a reasonable distance for those who prefer to drive. Dining options near Our House at the Beach West Tower cater to a variety of tastes. Ophelia's on the Bay, about a 4.5-mile drive, offers upscale seafood dining with beautiful waterfront views. The nearby Siesta Key Village hosts various dining establishments to suit different preferences. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Siesta Beach, consistently ranked among the best beaches in the United States. The beach's quartz crystal sand is a distinctive feature, making it perfect for long walks or sunbathing. For those seeking a quieter beach experience, Turtle Beach is located at the southern end of the island, offering a more secluded environment and opportunities for fishing in the nearby lagoon. While Siesta Key itself is a self-contained paradise, the proximity to Sarasota provides easy access to additional cultural attractions, shopping, and dining options. St. Armands Circle, a charming shopping and dining district, is about a 10-mile drive away, offering high-end boutiques and restaurants in a picturesque setting. For families with children, the area is served by well-regarded schools. Phillippi Shores Elementary School, located about 4.5 miles away, boasts high ratings and offers pre-kindergarten through elementary education. For middle and high school students, Brookside Middle School and Sarasota High School are both within a 15-minute drive and are known for their strong academic programs. Living at Our House at the Beach West Tower means embracing the relaxed, beachy lifestyle that Siesta Key is famous for, while still having access to the amenities and cultural offerings of a larger city. It's a blend of island tranquility and urban convenience, though a car is typically necessary for most outings.

Island accessibility with mainland connections

Transportation options for residents of Our House at the Beach West Tower reflect the car-oriented nature of Siesta Key. The island's layout and infrastructure primarily cater to personal vehicles, which are the most convenient option for getting around. The condominium's location on Siesta Key means that while many attractions are nearby, they are generally best accessed by car. The area's low Walk Score indicates that most errands require a vehicle. However, the flat terrain does make cycling a viable option for some short trips or leisure rides, especially for those comfortable navigating alongside vehicle traffic. Two bridges connect Siesta Key to the mainland, providing access to Sarasota and its surrounding areas. The Siesta Drive bridge to the north and the Stickney Point Road bridge to the south offer routes on and off the island, connecting residents to the wider Sarasota area. For air travel, the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport is conveniently located about 12 miles away, or a 25-minute drive. This proximity makes it easy for residents and visitors to connect with major cities across the United States and beyond. While public transportation options are limited on Siesta Key itself, some services may be available on the mainland, though specifics would need to be confirmed with local transit authorities. The transportation landscape around Our House at the Beach West Tower emphasizes the laid-back, beach-oriented lifestyle of Siesta Key. While a car is essential for broader exploration of the area and most daily activities, the island's natural beauty and beachfront location encourage residents to enjoy their immediate surroundings.
