The Promenade Longboat Key: Beachfront Condos with Resort-Style Living

If you’re searching for a Longboat Key beachfront condo that blends timeless architecture with modern interior updates, look no further than The Promenade. Built in 1985, this Gulf-front condominium community has undergone extensive renovations that make it stand out among many of the older buildings on the island.

From its beautifully refreshed lobby and common spaces to its resort-caliber amenities, The Promenade delivers the kind of coastal living experience today’s buyers crave.

Quick Take

  • 112 residences built in 1985, ranging from 1,500 to 2,600 sq. ft.
  • Resort-style amenities: Olympic pool, tennis courts, fitness rooms, concierge, and more
  • Private boardwalk to the Gulf of Mexico with resident-only beach chairs
  • Rental policy: Up to 2 times per year, 3-month minimum
  • No pets allowed for both owners and tenants

Why The Promenade Stands Out

An updated classic with one of the best amenity packages on Longboat Key

Many of Longboat Key’s beachfront condos were built in the 1980s — and some still feel stuck there.

Not The Promenade.

Its lobby, social spaces, and amenities have been fully modernized, giving the property the look and feel of a high-end resort. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, playing a match on the tennis courts, or simply walking through the mailroom, every corner has been thoughtfully designed with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.

Amenity Highlights at The Promenade

A resort lifestyle right at home.

Life at The Promenade feels like stepping into a private resort. The community’s thoughtful upgrades extend far beyond its residences, offering a collection of amenities designed to support both relaxation and recreation. From sunrise swims to evenings spent socializing with neighbors, every detail has been curated to enhance the experience of Gulf-front living on Longboat Key.

Residents at The Promenade enjoy:

  • Olympic-sized heated pool and spa directly overlooking the Gulf of Mexico
  • Covered sundeck perfect for coffee, reading, or sunset cocktails
  • Four Har-Tru tennis courts with night lighting
  • His-and-hers fitness rooms with updated equipment, accessed through locker rooms
  • Two social rooms for gatherings, featuring stacked stone and contemporary décor

  • Arts and crafts room and library — rare amenities on Longboat Key
  • Concierge services at the front desk plus 24-hour staffed security gate
  • Private beach boardwalk with chairs provided for residents
  • Secure underground garage parking with guest spaces and direct lobby access
  • Individual storage units for bikes, beach gear, or seasonal items

The Residences

Spacious layouts with Gulf or garden views.

The Promenade is made up of 112 residences, each ranging from 1,500 to just over 2,600 square feet. Floor plans include one- to three-bedroom options with open layouts and private terraces.


Unit numbering system: the first digit indicates the floor, while the last two digits reflect location within the building. Higher numbers typically mean closer proximity to the Gulf.


Orientation: many condos feature direct Gulf views, while others look out over Sarasota Bay or lush tropical gardens.

For added confidence, The Promenade has successfully completed its milestone inspections and Structural Integrity Reserve Study — with all reports returned in good standing.

Rental & Ownership Policies

Flexible for seasonal living, restrictive for short-term rentals.

  • Owners may lease their units up to 2 times per year
  • Each lease must be a minimum of 3 months
  • No short-term or vacation-style rentals are allowed
  • All tenants require association approval
  • Pets are not permitted — for both owners and renters

These policies preserve a peaceful, residential atmosphere, making the community ideal for full-time residents and long-term seasonal owners.
