Sand Key
Three luxury towers on the Sand Key Gulf front, the island's benchmark for amenities, from tennis courts to putting greens.
The three towers of Ultimar define luxury on Sand Key. Built as a unified resort-style community on the Gulf, the complex is famous locally for the depth of its amenity package (multiple pools, tennis and sport courts, putting greens, fitness and social rooms), all wrapped in manicured grounds along the beach.
Residences are large, many with double-exposure views taking in both Gulf and Intracoastal. Ultimar attracts the island's most amenity-driven luxury buyers, and its resale market benefits from a reputation that has held for decades.
Ultimar living means never leaving the property unless you want to: courts, greens, pools, and the Gulf are all inside the gates. When you do leave, the bridge drops you into Clearwater Beach's dining scene in minutes.
Large amenity packages mean larger budgets to maintain them. The flip side of Ultimar's lifestyle is that association health matters even more here. We'll take you through the financials tower by tower. For the framework, read our Condo Buyer's Guide and Flood Zones 101.

Part or all of this property's land is in FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. Lenders making federally backed mortgages require flood insurance on buildings in that area. Read Flood Zones 101 for what that means for a purchase.
Flood zones are FEMA's for the land parcel (for a condo, the whole complex), from the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map for Pinellas County (August 24, 2021, with later FEMA revisions) as published by Pinellas County, checked against FEMA's national flood layer. Zones touching under 1% of the parcel are left out. Flood insurance is rated on the building's own zone and elevation, which an elevation certificate confirms. Evacuation level is from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser record and matches Pinellas County Emergency Management's Know Your Zone map.

The current note on this page: A residence community. Confirm current lease rules with us before planning any rental use. That is not the association's written rule. Confirm the policy before you offer, and read the Short-Term Rental Rules guide.
Read the Condo Buyer's Guide and the milestone inspection page. Ask for the milestone report, the structural integrity reserve study, the budget, and the last year of board minutes. The association's documents matter as much as the unit.
