Siesta Harbor is a low-rise waterfront condominium community on the bay side of Siesta Key in Sarasota, just north of the Stickney Point Bridge, built in 1969 with a little over 220 units across three-story buildings (Siesta Harbor Association and Sarasota area condo guides, 2026). Phase I refers to the original Siesta Harbor condominium section; confirm the exact legal association and phase for any specific unit.
The pitch is boating and the beach. The community has private docks on deep-water canals with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, plus a heated pool and spa, clubhouse, shuffleboard, and deeded beach access to Siesta Beach across Midnight Pass Road (Siesta Harbor Association, 2026). Dock availability, size limits, and any waitlist should be confirmed per unit with the association.
Most of Siesta Harbor is described as an over-55 age-restricted community, with at least one building reported as non-age-restricted. Age restriction is a legal designation set by the recorded declaration, so verify the current restriction for the specific building you are considering rather than relying on a community-wide label.
Because this is a 1969 barrier-island condominium, the deal is made or lost on the association: flood and wind insurance, the structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection, the reserve balance, and recent storm history. The water and the beach are the draw; the reserves, insurance, and the specific building are the diligence.
