Overlooking Sarasota Bay, Windward Bay Penthouse Escape offers a welcoming home for an extended island stay, complete with beach access, heated pools, and tennis and pickleball courts.

This fourth-floor penthouse on Longboat Key has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and comfortable accommodations for four. Sarasota Bay and the mangrove shoreline provide the backdrop, while deeded beach access across Gulf of Mexico Drive leads to the island’s Gulf shore. Inside, soft blues, cream, and warm neutrals give the home a relaxed coastal feel.

Bayfront living
Large windows line the enclosed sunroom, bringing in natural light and views of the water. Two comfortable recliners face the bay, making this an especially inviting part of the home. It’s a separate sitting area with the scenery in full view and the comfort of being indoors.

The adjoining living room has a cream sofa, two armchairs, and a television. The dining area and kitchen connect directly to it, creating a welcoming space for meals and time together. With both the living room and sunroom, there’s room for conversation as well as a quiet afternoon overlooking the bay.

Comforts for an extended stay
The primary bedroom features a king bed, a television, and a walk-in closet. The guest bedroom has a queen bed, and the condo has two bathrooms.

Granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances give the kitchen a warm, classic look. It’s well equipped for meals at home, with cookware, bakeware, and a dishwasher. The coffee station offers both a drip coffee maker and a Nespresso machine with a separate milk frother. The dining table seats four.

Private laundry and designated covered parking add everyday convenience, making the condo well suited to several weeks on the island.

Windward Bay amenities
The community’s waterfront grounds and recreation facilities are a big part of the appeal. Shared amenities include:

• Two heated swimming pools
• Tennis and pickleball courts
• A fitness center and saunas
• Bayfront walking paths
• Community barbecue grills
• Deeded Gulf beach access across Gulf of Mexico Drive

The bayfront paths offer a scenic setting close to home, while the pools, courts, and fitness facilities bring variety to a longer visit. Gulf beach access across the road complements the condo’s bayfront location, with two distinctly different shorelines nearby.
