Description

Located on arguably the finest beach on the planet, Whispering Sands offers the best of what the Siesta Beach lifestyle has to offer. After a serene day lounging on the 800 feet of private beach seemingly miles away from the worries of the world, you can relax on your patio hearing nothing but the soothing sound of azure waves gently lapping the pristine white sand shoreline, as you watch the sun slowly sink below the horizon of the Gulf of Mexico. After such a relaxing and rejuvenating day, perhaps you step out for an evening of fine dining and entertainment at any one of the excellent restaurants situated in the world-renowned Siesta Village. Or take a short drive to visit downtown Sarasota and enjoy the vibrant arts and entertainment scene there which includes, theater, opera or stage productions at the Van Wesel. At the end of your day, you will be lulled to sleep while listening to the soft rhythms of the ebb and flow of the gulf waters, accompanied by a warm tropical sea breeze. You awake the next day, thinking it was all a wonderous dream only to realize that you are truly living in paradise. Whispering Sands is a 55+ community that offers beautifully landscaped grounds and a wide variety of activities in addition to beach living, including two heated swimming pools, shuffleboard, kayak/canoe storage, along with rustic tiki huts and charcoal grills perched next to the beach perfect for a sunset cookout. There’s also a natural lagoon and a clubhouse that includes Wi-Fi and a fitness center and 24-hour security. This second floor 2-bedroom 2 bath unit is on the same floor as the private large library/gathering space with a separate kitchen, television and table tennis/pool table making larger get-togethers and entertaining for family and friends a breeze. The unit features tile flooring throughout (perfect for the beach lifestyle) and is ready for immediate enjoyment by the next owner. Understandably, you may wish to personalize and update some features of this perfectly situated unit in which case, there is a full set of planned updates along with cost estimates from qualified vendors available for review.

  • Roandersen
    "Variety of home styles brings in variety of residents, permanent and seasonal. Rules are strict and neighborhood monitors report the smallest of violations, such as leaving your garbage bins out late if you have a long day or putting them out too early,not pruning dried palm fronds immediately, and not planting garden areas to match neighbors. If you are not here full time or are away on vacation you must hire someone to be sure you don’t violate any of the very picky rules. Residents have little use of the club, tennis, pickleball or golf courses without paying exorbitant fees. Having said that, as an elderly woman living alone I feel safe in this development. The safety patrol is responsive and will come 24-7 if you have a concern. Not much of a neighborhood feel."
