Longboat Key, FL
L'Ambiance
Gulf-front luxury behind the Longboat Key Club gates, built around privacy: single-residence elevator entries, no walls shared between homes, and terraces wide enough to live on. The service level is the point, concierge, round-the-clock security, and a full amenity deck at a large scale. The county roll assesses 135 units across 2 plats, built 1992 to 1994, rising 11 floors, in Sarasota County.

Michael’s Take
County roll: 135 units, built 1992 to 1994, 11 floors, assessed in Sarasota County. Recorded across 2 separate plats, so confirm which one a listing sits in. No CDD; Longboat Key carries none.
How L'Ambiance compares
From the county records
$3,750,000
Median of 24 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $2,675,000 and $6,500,000.
25%
Of the 135 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners.
Newest building completed 1994. The roll records no completions here in the last three years, so this is a built-out community rather than one still being delivered.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is a strong proxy for how many owners live here full time, not a census of them.

Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly.

What amenities does L'Ambiance have?+

Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
What have homes in L'Ambiance actually sold for?+
24 arm's-length sales have been recorded in L'Ambiance since October 2023, at a median of $3,750,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $2,675,000 and $6,500,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in L'Ambiance year round?+
25% of the 135 finished homes in L'Ambiance carry a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence. That reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners. It is a strong proxy rather than a census, since an owner who lives there but never filed does not appear in it, but it is the most direct public signal of how occupied a community is outside the winter.
Is L'Ambiance still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in L'Ambiance was completed in 1994, across 137 platted parcels of which 135 carry a finished home. The county records no completions here in the last three years, so L'Ambiance is built out and what trades is resale rather than new construction. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
