At the very end of Midnight Pass Road, The Pointe occupies one of Siesta Key’s most distinctive waterfront settings. The gated condominium community sits on more than five acres at the island’s southern tip, where water surrounds the property on three sides and residences can capture expansive views across Little Sarasota Bay, the Intracoastal environment and waters toward the Gulf.

The location creates a sense of arrival that is different from most Siesta Key condominium communities. Continue south on Midnight Pass Road until there is essentially nowhere farther to drive, and you reach The Pointe.

For buyers exploring Siesta Key communities with Hunt Brothers Realty, The Pointe may be especially interesting when panoramic water views, boating, kayaking, fishing and a quieter South Siesta Key location are priorities.

Quick Answers About The Pointe on Siesta Key

Where Is The Pointe on Siesta Key?

The Pointe is at the southernmost end of Siesta Key, where Midnight Pass Road terminates. The two condominium buildings use the addresses 9393 and 9397 Midnight Pass Road.

Is The Pointe Directly on the Water?

Yes. Water surrounds the property on three sides. Depending on a condominium’s building, floor and orientation, views can include Little Sarasota Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway environment, Blind Pass Lagoon and waters toward the Gulf of Mexico.

How Many Condos Are at The Pointe?

Current real estate sources generally identify approximately 122 residences in two buildings developed in 1975. Published sources differ slightly on the precise residence count, so buyers should confirm current condominium records when that detail is material to their decision.

Does The Pointe Have Boat Docks?

The Pointe has waterfront boat-docking facilities. A buyer should not assume that purchasing a condominium automatically provides a particular slip. Current availability, assignment procedures, fees, vessel dimensions, water depth and other requirements should be verified with the association and appropriate marine professionals before making a purchasing decision based on boating access.

Is The Pointe Near Turtle Beach?

Yes. Turtle Beach is north of The Pointe on South Siesta Key and can be reached without traveling to the busier northern portion of the island. Exact walking conditions and access routes should be evaluated personally because road, sidewalk and construction conditions can change.

The Location Is What Makes The Pointe Different

The Pointe occupies the final piece of developed land at Siesta Key’s southern end, creating a waterfront environment that feels almost like the end of the island—because geographically, it is.

Rather than sitting along a conventional stretch of beachfront or bayfront, the property projects into a convergence of waterways. Little Sarasota Bay, the Intracoastal environment and Blind Pass Lagoon contribute to a landscape where water becomes visible in multiple directions.

That geography is central to The Pointe’s identity. The community is not simply near the water. It is positioned at the point where South Siesta Key runs out of road and the surrounding waterways take over.

Water Views Can Stretch in Multiple Directions

For many buyers, the principal reason to consider The Pointe is the view.

Higher-floor residences can have particularly broad sightlines, and current property descriptions document condominiums with views toward Little Sarasota Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf-side waters. Some residences can experience changing light on the water at both the beginning and end of the day.

The exact experience varies substantially by residence. Floor level, building position, window orientation and surrounding vegetation all affect the view, making an in-person evaluation important.

Sunrise and Sunset Can Both Become Part of the View

The Pointe’s location can give certain residences an unusual relationship with both sunrise and sunset.

East-facing views capture morning light over the bay and Intracoastal environment, while western exposures can look toward the changing evening sky. Recent listings specifically describe residences with sunrise and sunset water views.

Not every residence has identical exposures, so buyers who prioritize a particular sunrise, sunset or panoramic view should compare individual units rather than assuming the experience is uniform throughout the buildings.

Boating Is Built Into the Waterfront Lifestyle

The Pointe’s boat docks allow residents to connect the condominium lifestyle with time on the water.

The surrounding waterways provide access toward Little Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal system. Boats are also part of the everyday scenery, with vessels passing through the surrounding water as residents watch from the property and their condominiums.

Buyers with a specific boat should investigate docking arrangements early. Slip availability, vessel-size limitations, draft, water depth, lifts, insurance requirements, fees and navigation conditions are all property- and vessel-specific considerations that should be verified with the association and appropriate marine professionals.

Kayaking and Paddleboarding Offer Another Way to Explore

A powerboat is not required to make the surrounding water part of everyday life at The Pointe.

The community provides kayak and canoe storage and launch facilities, allowing residents to enter the surrounding waterways directly from the property under applicable association rules.

For paddlers, that can turn kayaking or paddleboarding into an everyday activity rather than an excursion requiring equipment to be transported to a public launch.

Fishing and Wildlife Add to the Waterfront Experience

The waterways surrounding The Pointe create an environment where watching the water can be an activity in itself.

Recent property descriptions note regular sightings of dolphins, manatees and coastal birds such as pelicans, herons, egrets and ospreys. Fishing is also repeatedly identified among the recreational opportunities available around the property.

Wildlife sightings are naturally never guaranteed, but the community’s position beside multiple waterways gives residents an unusually close vantage point on the coastal environment.

Gazebo Island Creates a Distinctive Waterfront Gathering Place

Among The Pointe’s more unusual amenities is a waterfront island and gazebo area.

Current community and listing information refers to Gazebo Island as part of the property’s waterfront amenity package. Together with picnic and grilling areas, it provides another setting for residents to spend time outdoors while remaining within the community.

As with all community amenities, buyers should verify current access, condition and association rules rather than relying exclusively on historical descriptions.

Pool, Spa and Tennis Expand the Recreation Options

The Pointe offers considerably more than waterfront scenery.

Published community information identifies a heated swimming pool, spa and lighted tennis facilities among the amenities. These complement the boating, paddling and fishing opportunities around the waterfront.

For buyers who prefer to keep recreation close to home, that combination can make it possible to move between a morning paddle, pool time and an evening tennis match without leaving the property.

Indoor Amenities Add Another Layer

The Pointe also provides indoor spaces for fitness, recreation and community use.

Current property descriptions identify fitness facilities, community rooms, a clubhouse or gathering space with kitchen facilities and a sauna among the community features.

Amenities and access policies can evolve over time, so prospective owners should confirm current facilities, hours, guest privileges and rules directly through appropriate association documents.

What Are the Condos at The Pointe Like?

The Pointe is an established 1970s condominium community, so interior condition can vary dramatically from one residence to another.

Recent market activity demonstrates one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, with examples ranging from approximately 778 square feet for a one-bedroom residence to roughly 1,630 square feet for some larger residences. Two-bedroom layouts also vary significantly in size.

Because the condominiums are individually owned, renovation levels differ. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, windows, mechanical equipment, hurricane protection and enclosed living areas should be evaluated on a residence-by-residence basis.

Higher Floors Can Change the Experience

At a waterfront community like The Pointe, floor level can have a substantial influence on views and value.

Upper-floor residences may gain longer sightlines across surrounding waterways and potentially see water in several directions. Lower-floor residences can provide a different relationship with the landscaping and waterfront.

The better choice is subjective. Buyers should compare the actual view, exposure, elevator dependence, storm considerations, natural light and interior condition of individual residences rather than assuming the highest floor is automatically the best fit.

South Siesta Key Has a Quieter Personality

The Pointe is removed from the greatest concentration of activity around Siesta Key Village and the island’s main public beach.

Instead, the immediate environment is oriented toward Turtle Beach, nearby restaurants, boating and the residential character of South Siesta Key. For some buyers, that relative separation is precisely the attraction.

The tradeoff is that residents who frequently visit Siesta Key Village or northern-island destinations will travel farther along Midnight Pass Road. Buyers should experience that drive at different times of day and during different seasons when location convenience is an important consideration.

Could The Pointe Work for Seasonal Residents?

The Pointe combines several features that can appeal to buyers searching for a seasonal Florida residence.

The condominium format, gated entrance, on-site management presence reported by current sources, covered parking and extensive community amenities can all be attractive to owners who spend only part of the year in Florida.

Seasonal ownership still requires planning for insurance, storm preparation, humidity control, unit monitoring and association responsibilities while an owner is away.

The Pointe at a Glance

What Should Buyers Review Before Purchasing at The Pointe?

The spectacular setting should be only one part of the purchasing analysis. Established coastal condominiums require careful review of both the individual residence and the association.

• Current condominium fees and included services
• Association budget and financial statements
• Reserve funding and applicable reserve studies
• Existing or proposed special assessments
• Applicable milestone inspection and structural information
• Completed and planned capital projects
• Association master insurance and deductibles
• Unit-owner insurance requirements
• Flood, wind and storm-surge exposure
• Current rental rules
• Current pet rules
• Boat-slip availability and vessel restrictions
• Kayak and canoe storage procedures
• Parking and storage rights
• Windows, balconies and maintenance responsibilities

Building Condition and Association Finances Deserve Careful Review

Because The Pointe dates to the 1970s and occupies a coastal environment, buyers should obtain current structural, maintenance and financial information rather than drawing conclusions from age or appearance alone.

Florida condominium inspection and reserve requirements have evolved substantially. Which requirements apply, what inspections have been completed and what repairs or reserve obligations exist should be established from current association records and applicable reports.

Buyers should review applicable inspection reports, engineering information, budgets, reserves, assessment history, meeting minutes and capital-project records. Structural questions should be evaluated with a qualified engineer or other appropriate professional, while individualized questions concerning condominium documents, ownership rights or legal obligations should be addressed with a qualified Florida real estate attorney.

Insurance and Coastal Exposure Should Be Investigated Early

A property surrounded by water on three sides makes insurance and coastal-risk research particularly important.

Prospective owners should understand the association’s master insurance program, deductibles and the coverage appropriate for the individual residence. Flood exposure, wind exposure, storm surge, hurricane protection and the division of repair responsibilities between the condominium owner and association can affect both risk and ownership costs.

Insurance availability, coverage and premiums can vary substantially by property. Buyers should obtain property-specific quotes and review both association coverage and individual insurance needs with a qualified insurance professional before making a purchasing decision.

Who Might Like The Pointe?

The Pointe may be particularly appealing to buyers who want the water to dominate their Siesta Key experience.

Boaters may appreciate the docking facilities. Kayakers and paddleboarders have direct recreational opportunities. Anglers can enjoy the waterfront setting, while buyers who simply want expansive views can compare residences at different elevations and orientations.

Buyers whose priorities center on immediate Gulf beach frontage, walking to Siesta Key Village or owning a newly constructed condominium may find another community better aligned with their preferences. The Pointe’s strengths are its unusual geography, panoramic waterfront setting and quieter southern location.

What Is Everyday Life at The Pointe Like?

Life at The Pointe can revolve around watching what happens on the water.

A morning might begin with changing light over Little Sarasota Bay, followed by kayaking, fishing or time at the pool. Boats pass through the surrounding waterways, while dolphins, manatees and coastal birds may occasionally appear.

Later in the day, residents can head toward Turtle Beach or stay within the community for tennis, a workout, time beside the waterfront or an evening sunset.

That lifestyle also comes with the practical realities of owning coastal Florida real estate. Storm preparation, insurance, association finances, building maintenance and waterfront infrastructure are part of the ownership equation and deserve the same attention as the views.

The Pointe Makes the Most of Siesta Key’s Southern Tip

Few Siesta Key condominium communities can replicate The Pointe’s geography. At the end of Midnight Pass Road, the property occupies a waterfront position where views, boating, paddling and coastal wildlife become central parts of the setting.

The heated pool and spa, tennis, fitness facilities, sauna, boat docks, kayak access, covered parking and Gazebo Island broaden the lifestyle beyond the view itself.

The individual condominium remains crucial. View orientation, floor level, renovations, insurance, association finances, assessments, structural information and ownership rules should all be reviewed before deciding whether a particular residence at The Pointe is the right fit.
