This is big news, the first one-bedroom unit for sale in the Diplomat Beach Resort in over 4 and a half years. And to add to its desirability is that is a ground floor walk-out unit located on the quiet North end of the complex, away from the sounds of those enjoying the pool with less than 10 steps to the beach and Gulf waters outside your back door.

And to add to its desirability is that is a ground floor walk-out unit located on the quiet North end of the complex, away from the sounds of those enjoying the pool with less than 10 steps to the beach and Gulf waters outside your back door. Wide open Gulf views from inside your unit with a tiki table for outdoor dining and enjoying the daily sunsets along with the cool Gulf breezes and the sound of the surf lapping the pristine beach. The Diplomat is one of a very few Longboat condominiums allowing less than 7-day rentals. The staff manages everything for the owners including bookings, cleaning, the turnover, maintenance, and they go out of their way to ensure your guests have an exceptional stay. Net income for the owner is already over $34,000 in the first 8 months of 2023! Of course, as an owner you are welcome to stay as long as you like with notice to the management. The Bay Isles shopping complex with Publix, CVS, and other stores are only a couple minutes drive down Gulf of Mexico. In addition all that the special place of Longboat Key has to offer is just outside your door with restaurants, parks, tennis, biking, and public transportation. Famed St. Armands Circle is a 5-minute drive away. All new wood patterned, quality luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed in 2023 and the HVAC is less than three months old.
