About this home

1211 GULF OF MEXICO DRIVE UNIT 709

Set on the 7th floor of the Promenade on Longboat Key, this 2BR/2BA residence offers more than 1,800 square feet of living space with sweeping sunset views across the Gulf, stretching to Sarasota Bay and beyond. From the moment you step into the private entry foyer, the home opens to a light-filled interior where water and sky are always in view. Neutral tones and tile flooring create a clean, comfortable backdrop throughout, while the split floor plan provides privacy for both the primary and guest suites. The combined living and dining areas are oriented toward the Gulf, with a striking corner of windows and sliding glass doors that frame the shoreline, the community pool below, and the bay in the distance. The terrace naturally extends the living space—an ideal spot to unwind and take in the changing colors of the evening sky. The kitchen is spacious and thoughtfully designed, with stone countertops, detailed tilework, stainless steel appliances, and a casual eat-in area positioned to enjoy the view. A separate dining area, complete with a wine refrigerator, offers flexibility for both everyday meals and entertaining. The primary suite is generously sized, featuring a full wall of glass with direct terrace access. Two large walk-in closets provide ample storage, and the bath includes a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. The guest bedroom enjoys its own views of both the Gulf and the bay, along with an en suite bath for added comfort. Additional highlights include an in-residence laundry room, secure building access, and one under-building parking space. Residents of the Promenade enjoy a full-service lifestyle with concierge, 24-hour security, a newly renovated lobby and common areas, two fitness centers, club rooms, four Har-Tru tennis courts, a heated lap pool, spa, and nearly 400 feet of beachfront. The location offers easy access to the shops and dining of St. Armands Circle, blending convenience with a relaxed coastal setting. Membership to the Longboat Key Club is optional and available to residents, offering access to an array of resort-style amenities. These include 45 holes of championship golf, award-winning tennis facilities, a full-service spa and fitness center, multiple waterfront dining venues, a private beach club, marina, and a calendar of social events and activities.

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.
