The Bayside Gardens condominium subdivision offers 38 units per residential section, with varying floor plans, amenities plans and unit sizes. Each of the four residential sections offers east- or west-facing units with views of Sand Key Beach or the Intracoastal Waterway. Each section has its own pool with hot tub in a fenced-in sundeck area. Landscaped garden-like grounds with walking trails are professionally maintained and covered parking is assigned. The complex was built in 1973. Tenants can walk to area attractions such as The Shops of Sand Key and Sand Key Park.
Villas or town homes are available in one-, two- or three-bedroom floor plans with one to two and a half bathrooms. All floor plans offer residents a private balcony and a patio, vaulted ceilings and individual washer and dryer units. Each unit has central air conditioning and a separate dining area. Some fully decorated and furnished units are available as rental units.
Condominiums at Bayside Gardens at Clearwater Beach are often available for sale, individually ranging between $200,000 to $400,000 in 2011. Local real estate groups who specialize in Bayside Gardens home sales, such as Jansen Coastal Properties Group (baysidegardenssandkey.com) or Clearwater Beach Condo Directory (clearwaterbeachcondodirectory.com), have units of various sizes and in different residential sections available for viewing either in person or on-line. Units can be sold by owners without brokers, and individual units that are for sale can be found in home sales classifieds.
Bayside Garden units are owned by many part-time tenants who rent those units out during the remainder of the year. While some units are rented out privately by owners on personal websites, many choose to list their units at on-line area condo rental listing websites, such as Owner Direct Vacation Rentals (ownerdirect.com) or Vacation Rentals by Owner (vrbo.com). This allows the prospective lessee to view several different available Bayside Garden units concurrently and compare rental prices and offered amenities. Long-term rentals are available through area rental agencies like RentSVR by Sun Valley Realty Inc. (rentsvr.com).
