Tangerine Bay Club

Spacious Bayfront Residences at the Southern Gateway to Longboat Key

Tangerine Bay Club is arranged around a large central lagoon with an island recreation area at its center. Pedestrian bridges connect the surrounding residences to the pool, spa, clubhouse, and fitness center, while walking paths continue along the shoreline and past the tennis and pickleball courts, dock, kayak launch, and tropical gardens.

The community includes ten low-rise buildings organized as Buildings 1A through 5B. Every home was originally assigned a fully enclosed two-car garage, an uncommon feature among Longboat Key condominium communities, and private gated courtyards lead to the individual residences, creating a more personal arrival experience than a traditional interior condominium hallway.

Why Buyers Love Tangerine Bay Club

A home, not an apartment.

Tangerine Bay Club appeals to buyers seeking substantial living space, private garages, bayfront surroundings, and a low-rise residential atmosphere near Sarasota.

Even the smaller documented plans exceed 2,200 square feet of air-conditioned space. Most homes include a flexible library or guest study in addition to two primary bedrooms, along with generous kitchens, morning rooms, formal gathering areas, laundry rooms, large primary suites, and broad terraces.

The private courtyards and enclosed two-car garages add to the sense of living in a home rather than an apartment. The central pool island, reached by pedestrian bridges across the lagoon, gives the community much of its identity, allowing the amenities to remain central without placing pool activity directly beneath every residence.

The Story Behind Tangerine Bay Club

Ten buildings, built in two phases.

Tangerine Bay Club was developed in the early 1990s as a low-rise alternative to Longboat Key's traditional condominium towers. The original condominium plat was recorded in 1991 and divided the property into two development phases.

Phase I

Buildings 1A–3

Phase I included Buildings 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, and 3, establishing the lagoon layout, pool island, and pedestrian-bridge design that would define the rest of the community.

Phase II

Buildings 4A–5B

Phase II added Buildings 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B, completing the community's ten-building arrangement around the lagoon and central island while extending the tennis facilities, walking paths, and bayfront grounds.

Today, Tangerine Bay Club remains distinctive for its spacious homes, private two-car garages, low-rise design, and central pool island.

Buying in Tangerine Bay Club

Find your residence.

Every residence at Tangerine Bay Club offers a different ownership experience. Buyers often compare building position, floor level, original plan, Sarasota Bay or lagoon exposure, courtyard and terrace configuration, loft space, renovations, garage location, and proximity to the pool island and waterfront amenities. First- and second-floor homes generally offer one-level living, while select third-floor residences add lofts, bedrooms, baths, decks, or attic space. Building position also matters. Bayfront homes may emphasize wider water views, lagoon-facing residences overlook the pool island and landscaping, and homes near the southern boundary may offer additional privacy beside the nature preserve. For more than four decades, Pettingell Professionals has helped buyers navigate Longboat Key's luxury condominium market. We understand the distinctions among Tangerine Bay Club's buildings, floor plans, views, courtyards, garages, renovations, and community policies and help our clients identify the residence that best fits their lifestyle and long-term goals.
