About this home
Embrace the rare opportunity to own a GULF FRONT residence in the coveted Siesta Key community of Whispering Sands – where breathtaking FULL GULF views, an unbeatable location, and endless potential come together. This 2 bed/2 bath 2nd floor tower unit showcases panoramic vistas of the shimmering Gulf, on 800’ of your own PRIVATE quartz sand beach, and the nightly spectacle of vibrant symphonies of colorful sunsets from your expansive 24’ open-air balcony. Offered in largely original condition, this residence is a true blank canvas—an exceptional value in today’s buyer’s market and the perfect chance to design and remodel from top to bottom in your own personal style. Create the coastal retreat you’ve always envisioned while investing in a premier Gulf front address known for its timeless appeal and strong long-term desirability. Reputable contractor names are available to help bring your vision to life. Life in the sought after 55+ community of Whispering Sands is peaceful and resort inspired. Enjoy two heated, fenced pools with new travertine decks, beach loungers for the exclusive use of owners and their guests, beachside Tiki Hut, gas grills, shuffleboard, canoe/kayak storage, and a beautifully soon to be remodeled clubhouse and Tower Lounge—the latter of which is reserved for the exclusive use of tower residents outside community events, and conveniently located on your floor. You’re also just an elevator ride down to the sparkling Gulf side pool and powder soft sand. Ideally positioned just moments from Siesta Key Village, you can leave your car behind and stroll to charming boutiques, live music, and an array of dining options. End each day with your toes in the sand or on your private balcony, savoring the tranquil rhythm of the waves and the company of friends as the sun melts into the horizon. This is more than a condo—it’s a lifestyle, a legacy of memories in the making, and a chance to secure your own piece of world class Gulf front paradise.

Location
Directions
From US 41, go west on Siesta Drive, over the North Bridge onto Siesta Key. The road will curve left and turn into Higel. After the intersection with Midnight Pass Road, make the sharp RH turn at the small roundabout and the road changes into Ocean Blvd. Whispering Sands is about a mile on your right, on the Gulf side of the Key. Go in main entrance, turn left onto Whispering Sands Drive at the first stop sign, follow it back to the Gulf. 19 WSD is the Gulf front building on the right as you face the Gulf.
