The twin Midnight Cove properties in Siesta Key offer residents of this barrier island the best of both worlds. Midnight Cove is located on the quiet and scenic Crescent Beach, on the Gulf side. Midnight Cove II is on the Bayside of the island, and it is a boater’s paradise.

Development of the Midnight Cove residential complexes was completed in the late 1970s. Both condominiums share a similar grandiose style. Midnight Cove on the Gulf side is situated on several acres of a private stretch of beach. The unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico from this Midnight Cove property are nonpareil. The nearby Point of Rocks underwater limestone formation is home to abundant and colorful marine life, ideal for exploring with scuba or snorkeling gear. The residential amenities include two heated swimming pools, tennis courts and an outdoor picnic area perfect for grilling.

At the sister condominium Midnight Cove II on the bayside, residents enjoy some of the same privileges with different views. Many of the 146 units at Midnight Cove II have panoramic views of the Sarasota Bay and a boat lagoon. Amenities include tennis and basketball courts, two heated swimming pools and a clubhouse. Residents of Midnight Cove II can access the private Crescent Beach area located just a short walk away.

There are 68 roomy units at the beachfront Midnight Cove ranging from 1,438 to 1,637 square feet. All units have two bedrooms and are priced between $719K and $850K.

Midnight Cove II has 146 slightly smaller units measuring between 860 and 1458 square feet. Prices on the bayside can be found starting at $265K to less than $500K.

Both Midnight Cove condominiums are conveniently located near the island’s commercial districts. Access to Sarasota and the rest of the Florida mainland is made possible by a nearby causeway bridge.
