Buttonwood Harbor is home to the Beach Harbor Club, a cozy and affordable real estate community in Longboat Key, Florida. The Beach Harbor Club is a residential condominium neighborhood of 133 units located on a narrow stretch of the island, very close to the beach and the bay side of the island where kayaks and small boats can be launched to explore the bayous of Longboat Key or the greater Sarasota Bay.

The Beach Harbor Club was built in 1970; it follows Spanish and Mediterranean architectural styles stacked on parallel three-story buildings. Residents can walk to their private beach space or boat docks located just steps away from their residences. While the tranquil beach and the sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico are the main attraction, residents of Beach Harbor Club can also enjoy their own fitness center and swimming pool.

Floor plans start with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and 1,000 square feet of living space, priced just below $200K. More spacious units priced in the low $500K feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,500 square feet of living space. These are some of the most affordable residences in Longboat Key, and with extras like elevators and covered carports, the Beach Harbor Club condos provide great value.

Longboat Key has enough amenities and comforts to keep residents on the island, from small shopping centers to an eclectic selection of restaurants, but an advantage of living in the Buttonwood Harbor area is that the bridges connecting the island to the cities of Bradenton and Sarasota are just minutes away. Every drive taken to or from the island to the Florida mainland will be a scenic trip.
