About this home
Step into your own island retreat with this rare ground floor END unit in the highly sought after GULF FRONT property of Whispering Sands! Perfectly positioned with a full length screened & glassed lanai overlooking the picturesque lagoon and lush tropical landscaping, this residence captures a peaceful, serene setting with a touch of everyday luxury. Thoughtfully updated and designed for effortless living, the OPEN CONCEPT floor plan features non-slip porcelain tile placed on the diagonal, skip trowel ceiling, and a spacious light-filled living space with an additional, sunny, west facing window. The nicely RENOVATED kitchen is a standout, offering granite countertops, colorful tile backsplash, a 9’ breakfast bar, white soft-close cabinetry, and a suite of GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, and LG appliances, all enhanced by overhead recessed, dimmable LED lighting. The cabinetry and granite extend into the entire length of the dining area, creating additional storage and an elegant serving space ideal for entertaining. The original interior living room sliders have been removed to seamlessly incorporate the lanai, transforming it into a sun-drenched sunroom that expands your cooled living space and invites the outdoors in. Just outside, a small brick paver patio off the sunroom offers the perfect spot for grilling, sunning, or unwinding after a day at the beach. Both bathrooms in this unit have been tastefully updated with NEW vanities, fixtures, and cabinetry. Additional highlights include a complete set of 2016 hurricane impact sunroom sliders and 2025 water heater. At Whispering Sands, every day feels like a vacation—with 800’ of PRIVATE beach, two heated pools with new travertine tile decks, clubhouse – currently undergoing a complete remodel which will include a catering kitchen and fitness rooms – beachside Tiki Hut, grills, and canoe/kayak—all just a short stroll to the vibrant shops and dining options of Siesta Key Village. Your island getaway awaits!

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. Enter through the main entrance, stop at the Stop sign and turn RH onto Hourglass Way. The building is the first one on your left after you pass the carports on your left. You can park on the curb in front of the building as long as you have a parking pass on your vehicle.
