Experience refined coastal living behind the gates of the Longboat Key Club at Privateer South - a serene waterfront retreat where the Gulf sets the rhythm of each day. This exclusive Longboat Key enclave blends timeless Old Florida charm with resort-style amenities. Residents enjoy access to the Longboat Key Club's championship golf, tennis, deep-water marina, fine dining, and private beach club, while Privateer South offers intimate beachfront living in a 12-story tower at 1000 Longboat Club Road. This fourth-floor corner residence is a fully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath home that captures the essence of coastal elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors open to wraparound balconies with eastern, southern, and partial Gulf views. Begin your mornings with sunrise over Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, as soft hues of pink and gold fill the open living and dining spaces. By afternoon, enjoy sweeping southern views of powder-white sand and turquoise Gulf waters, accompanied by the gentle sound of waves. The interior renovation reflects modern sophistication and comfort. A sleek galley kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry flows seamlessly into the bright living-dining area. Neutral tones, shiplap accents, and high-end finishes create an inviting, light-filled space ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The primary suite features desirable southern exposure and a refreshed en-suite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, office, or private retreat, with the guest bath refreshed as well, in a clean, contemporary style. Daily living feels effortlessly indulgent. From the lobby, take the elevator to the heated Gulf-front pool and spa, complete with lounge seating overlooking the shoreline. Manicured pathways lead to private beach access, where dunes, complimentary chairs and umbrellas, and uncrowded sands create the perfect setting for sunset walks and frequent dolphin and pelican sightings. Residents also enjoy beachside grilling, on-site tennis, and the simple pleasures of Gulf coastal living. Gated security, covered parking, and the low-density South tower - with approximately 62 residences - provide both privacy and a welcoming community atmosphere shared by seasonal and full-time residents alike. Evenings on the balcony are unforgettable, with brilliant sunsets fading into star-filled skies over the Gulf. Inside, the open layout invites relaxed dinners, quiet reading, and peaceful nights accompanied by the sound of the water. This beautifully renovated corner residence offers the perfect balance of comfort, elegance, and breathtaking scenery in one of Florida's most sought-after barrier island communities.
