Several years ago at the top of the market, I listed a condo at Privateer and sold it within a week.  Privateer is behind the gates of the highly acclaimed Longboat Key Club.  Although it is a buyer's market, condos on Longboat Key are still priced at premiums above other Sarasota condos.  The on-sight management at Privateer assist out of state residents with every aspect of owning a home away from home.  This management team was helpful and courteous every time I showed my listing at Privateer.

Built in 1972, Privateer luxury condos are right on the beach and very affordable.  Some condos at Privateer offer outstanding views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Longboat Key Club golf course as well as Sarasota Bay.  The Mid-FL Regional MLS reports only five units currently active.  Prices of these Longboat Key condos start at $529,500.  There is a guest suite available for your out of town family or friends.  Tennis, recreation room, bike storage, swimming pool are all available to residents at Privateer.

Shopping on St. Armands Circle is five minutes away.  Downtown Sarasota's cultural venues are easily accessible due to the Privateer's southern location on Longboat Key.  If you are traveling to and from Tampa, a southern location is prime!

Call your Sarasota FL real estateagent for entrance to the Longboat Key Club condos.  The guards are friendly but you can't just drive around in this secure community.  If you are searching for Longboat Key condos, Annette Smith can be reached at 941-504-3922 or email for a quick response.
