Embassy Villas is a small townhome-style condominium community located at 800 South Boulevard of the Presidents on Lido Key in Sarasota, Florida. Built in 1972, the community contains just 20 residences arranged within a collection of low-rise buildings near Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle.
Unlike the high-rise condominium towers found along Benjamin Franklin Drive, Embassy Villas offers two-story residences with private entrances, courtyard surroundings, and a more residential atmosphere. Its location places residents within convenient walking distance of the Gulf beaches while also providing easy access to shopping, dining, outdoor recreation, and Downtown Sarasota.
Condos at Embassy Villas
Embassy Villas primarily features two- and three-bedroom residences ranging from approximately 1,060 to 1,190 square feet. Many floor plans include two bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, open living and dining areas, and a primary bedroom on the first floor.
Several residences feature a second-floor bedroom or loft-style suite that provides additional privacy for family members or guests. Private entrances, large windows, courtyard views, and flexible living spaces give the homes a distinctive villa or townhome feel compared with conventional condominium buildings.
Because individual residences have been renovated at different times, interiors vary considerably. Buyers may find updated kitchens and bathrooms, contemporary flooring, impact-resistant windows, furnished or turnkey residences, and other improvements depending on the property.
