Lighthouse Towers, completed in 1983, stands as a prominent 19-story condominium on the beautiful beaches of Sand Key in Clearwater, Florida. This 144-unit residential complex offers residents a coveted address with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico and stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway. The building's location on a barrier island provides a tranquil coastal living experience while remaining close to the vibrant attractions of Clearwater Beach and the greater Tampa Bay area.
Spacious layouts with panoramic water views
Lighthouse Towers offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to expansive two-bedroom residences. The one-bedroom layouts span 872 to 885 square feet, featuring 1.5 to 2 bathrooms, with prices ranging from $600,000 to $653,500. For those seeking more space, the two-bedroom units offer 1,135 to 1,645 square feet of living area, complete with 2 bathrooms, and are priced between $755,000 and $1,300,000.
Each residence boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, Clearwater Beach, or the Intracoastal Waterway. Many units have been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes, including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry in the kitchens. Master suites often feature walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms with dual sinks, walk-in showers, and soaking tubs – some offering their own beach views.
Living areas extend onto private balconies, providing the perfect spot for enjoying spectacular sunsets or watching dolphins play in the surf. Select units offer wraparound balconies for an even more expansive outdoor living experience. Interior upgrades in many residences include porcelain tile or hardwood flooring, updated lighting fixtures, and hurricane-rated impact windows and doors for peace of mind during storm season.
Monthly HOA fees range from $600 to $1,200, covering amenities such as 24-hour security, cable TV, internet, pool maintenance, and various building services, ensuring a worry-free lifestyle for residents.
Resort-inspired amenities for year-round enjoyment
Lighthouse Towers offers an array of amenities designed to enhance the beachfront living experience. The heated beachfront pool and spa are strategically located on the south side of the building, ensuring year-round sunshine and unobstructed views of the Gulf. Adjacent to the pool area, residents can enjoy a covered pavilion with BBQ grills, perfect for outdoor entertaining.
For active residents, the property features tennis and pickleball courts, a basketball court, and shuffleboard, providing ample opportunities for recreation and socializing. A third-floor sundeck offers an additional space to relax and soak up the Florida sun.
The building's amenities extend beyond outdoor recreation. A community lounge area provides a gathering space for social events, while a whole-building water softener system ensures high-quality water throughout the complex. For beach enthusiasts, there's a dedicated storage room for kayaks, bikes, and other beach gear.
Lighthouse Towers prioritizes security and convenience with its 24/7 gated entry and on-site management. Residents benefit from assigned covered parking spaces, with some units allocated additional storage rooms near the elevators. The property's direct beach access allows for seamless transitions between the comforts of home and the natural beauty of Sand Key Beach.
A serene coastal community with easy access to urban amenities
Sand Key offers a tranquil retreat from the more bustling Clearwater Beach while still providing easy access to a wealth of attractions and amenities. The neighborhood is characterized by its pristine beaches, natural beauty, and a mix of residential and vacation properties.
Just steps from Lighthouse Towers, residents can explore the Shoppes on Sand Key, a convenient retail area featuring local boutiques, casual dining options, and essential services. The renowned Columbia Restaurant, a branch of Florida's oldest restaurant, is within walking distance, offering authentic Spanish cuisine and a vibrant atmosphere.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Sand Key Park, a 95-acre green space boasting a half-mile of beach, nature trails, a dog park, and excellent fishing spots. The park is also a nesting site for sea turtles, adding to the area's natural allure.
For those seeking more active pursuits, Bay Park on Sand Key offers tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas, all within a short walk from the condominium. The world-famous Clearwater Beach, with its expansive white sand beaches and lively atmosphere, is just a short drive or trolley ride away.
While Sand Key maintains a peaceful ambiance, it's conveniently located near larger shopping centers and cultural attractions. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home to marine life rescue and rehabilitation programs, is a short drive from the property. For a taste of local art and culture, residents can easily visit downtown Clearwater or take a day trip to St. Petersburg to explore museums like the Salvador Dalí Museum or the Chihuly Collection.
Strategic location with easy access to regional transportation hubs
While Sand Key's tranquil setting encourages a more relaxed pace of life, the area offers convenient access to various transportation options for those venturing beyond the immediate vicinity. The Suncoast Beach Trolley provides a scenic and convenient way to explore the coastline, connecting Sand Key to neighboring beach communities like Clearwater Beach and Indian Rocks Beach.
For air travel, residents of Lighthouse Towers benefit from proximity to two major airports. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is approximately a 35-minute drive away, offering domestic flights and select international routes. Tampa International Airport, one of Florida's busiest hubs with extensive domestic and international connections, is accessible within about 40 minutes by car.
While the area's layout is more conducive to driving, the flat terrain and scenic views make leisurely bike rides an enjoyable option for short trips along the coast. Many residents find that a combination of driving and occasional use of the beach trolley meets most of their transportation needs, balancing the peace of island living with the convenience of easy access to the wider Tampa Bay area.
For those commuting or exploring beyond Sand Key, major roadways like Gulf Boulevard provide straightforward routes to neighboring communities and connections to larger highways for trips to Tampa, St. Petersburg, and other parts of the Florida Gulf Coast.
