The perfect climate and natural beauty of Siesta Key attract thousands of tourists to this picturesque barrier island year-round. Most visitors come to Siesta Key to enjoy the fascinating white sands of Siesta Beach, but very few become aware of the slightly secluded beaches to the south: Crescent and Turtle.

The Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club stands majestically on 13 acres of Crescent Beach. This portion of Siesta Key overlooks the cerulean waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Crescent Beach shares many of the same characteristics as the more famous Siesta Beach, and to the lucky residents of the mid-rise Surf and Racquet Club, access to the beach is almost exclusive.

Built in 1971 and immaculately maintained ever since, the Surf and Racquet Club consists of 188 condo units with amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico. Available units range from the cozy and affordable to the spacious and princely. A unit measuring 830 square feet is priced in the mid $300Ks, while a stately two-bedroom floor plan with 1,352 square feet of living space costs around $1M.

The amenities at the Surf and Racquet Club are numerous. As its name suggests, the Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club is home to fine Har-Tru tennis courts. An elegant courtyard and various social rooms are perfect for planning social gatherings. Two heated swimming pools, a fitness center, wireless Internet access, and an outdoor area for grilling and picnics round up the amenities.

The two main centers of commerce in the island, Crescent Plaza and Siesta Key Village, are conveniently located just a short drive away. Siesta Key is connected to Sarasota, the cultural mecca of southwest Florida, by two causeway bridges located just minutes away from the Surf and Racquet Club.
