About this home
5400 OCEAN BOULEVARD UNIT 9-4
Rarely does an opportunity like this emerge on Siesta Key — priced below the last comparable 1-bedroom sale and reduced over $120,000, this is value that simply cannot be ignored. Welcome to Beach Terrace, one of Siesta Key's most sought-after Gulf-front addresses. Nestled at the end of the village in a gated community with direct Gulf frontage, this exceptional corner residence delivers the quintessential Siesta Key lifestyle — world-famous white quartz sand at your feet, the sparkling aqua Gulf stretching to the horizon, and the energy of Siesta Key Village just a short stroll away. The panoramic views here are genuinely extraordinary. From the pristine beach below to the glittering skylines of downtown Sarasota and Longboat Key in the distance, every glance outward is a postcard moment. At night, the twinkling lights of the village and city skyline transform the backdrop into something truly magical — widely regarded as one of the finest views on Siesta Key. Three private balconies ensure there is always a perfect perch for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or simply savoring the coastal scenery throughout the day. Inside, dual sliding glass doors flood the living area with natural light while framing those sweeping Gulf views. The tiled foyer flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen, and the dining area offers ample space to entertain with a backdrop that will leave guests speechless. Resort-style amenities complete the picture: an elevated heated saltwater pool, community room, and the security of a gated community — all just steps from your private beach access. This is Siesta Key living at its finest — Gulf-front, gated, walkable, and priced to sell.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
