5600 BEACH WAY DRIVE UNIT 201
MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT — SELLER SAYS BRING ALL OFFERS! What if "going to the beach” meant grabbing your flip-flops, walking across the street, and sinking your toes into the powdery-white sand of Siesta Key? Morning walks along the shoreline, afternoons by the pool, sunset strolls with your toes in the Gulf, and dinner and drinks in the Village as part of your everyday routine. Welcome to Beach Way unit 201. Perfectly positioned, this unit offers a coveted peek of Siesta Key’s white quartz sand and charming glimpses of beachgoers settling in for another day in paradise, offering you the world-renowned Siesta Key lifestyle quite literally just outside your door. This second floor and fully furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath second-floor condo presents an incredible opportunity to own your own piece of one of Florida’s most celebrated barrier islands. Step inside and immediately feel the light, relaxed coastal atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living areas, creating a space that's as special as it's location. Slide open the doors to your private screened lanai and enjoy glimpses of the Gulf while overlooking the community’s heated pool, maintained at 85 degrees year-round.

Both bedrooms feature walk-in closets, offering plenty of storage for everything from beach bags and paddleboards to your everyday essentials. This condo is move-in ready, making it easy to begin enjoying island life from day one, whether you envision a full-time residence, seasonal escape or vacation retreat.

Residents enjoy a heated pool, community room with full kitchen, picnic and grilling areas, elevators, laundry facilities on each floor and a personal storage unit. Your deeded covered carport is conveniently located just steps from your front door. The well-maintained building has also benefited from several notable improvements, including a new roof in 2020, updated elevator installed in 2019, re-plumbed stacks completed in 2018 and new vinyl fencing added in 2021. A quarterly condominium fee includes access to community amenities, pest control, basic cable, water and sewer, grounds maintenance, weekend on-site maintenance and community insurance. But the real luxury here may be the lifestyle. Start your morning walking Siesta Key’s shoreline or joining beach yoga as the island wakes up. Spend the afternoon paddleboarding, floating in the Gulf or lounging poolside. Catch one of Siesta Key’s famous sunsets before heading into the Village for dinner, live music, shopping or a cocktail. On Sundays, wander over to the drum circle and watch the beach come alive as the sun disappears over the water. When you feel like venturing beyond the island, Downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, the Ringling Bridge, Sarasota’s cultural attractions, top-rated medical facilities, SRQ International Airport and University Town Center are all within convenient reach.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
