Sylvette Condos, St. Pete Beach

Updated October 2026.

The Sylvette is a low-rise, bayfront condo community on Boca Ciega Bay in St. Pete Beach, set on 8.44 acres along Gulf Winds Drive and 2nd Street East. Listing records show it was built in the mid to late 1960s, with mostly one and two bedroom units. It suits buyers who want water access, a dock and a smaller, quieter community on the bay side of the island, often at a lower entry point than Gulf-front towers.

We are John and Nicole Kavaliauskas, licensed Florida Realtors with LoKation Real Estate. Below is what the association and public listing records show about the Sylvette, plus the points to confirm before you buy.

Location and setting

The Sylvette sits on the east side of St. Pete Beach facing Boca Ciega Bay, so the water views look toward the bay and the mainland rather than the Gulf. The association describes the community as set on 8.44 landscaped acres along the bay. The Gulf beaches are a short trip across the island, and Gulf Boulevard restaurants and shops are close by.

For buyers who want to be on the water but do not need a Gulf-front tower, the bay side offers a different pace. For more on the island and its neighborhoods, see our St. Pete Beach guide.

Residences and amenities

Listing records show a mix of one and two bedroom units, generally from about 700 to 1,400 square feet, spread across several low-rise buildings. Unit layouts, renovation levels and views vary a lot from building to building, so it pays to look closely at where a unit sits on the site.

Listing records and agent pages describe these shared amenities:

• Two pools, one heated
• A fishing pier on Boca Ciega Bay with boat slips available for rent
• Shuffleboard courts
• Waterfront grilling areas
• A clubhouse
• Common laundry facilities and storage units

Boat slips are a common reason buyers look here. Ask the association how slips are assigned, whether there is a waiting list, what the rent is, and what size of boat the slips and water depth can handle.

Rules buyers ask about

Rentals

One recent listing shows a 3 month minimum lease with association approval required, and other listing records note lease restrictions. Another community summary site describes short-term rentals as not allowed. Confirm the current minimum lease, any cap on leases per year, and the approval process with the association before you make an offer.

Pets

Some listing records show pets not allowed, and others do not address pets. Treat the pet policy as unconfirmed and ask the association for the current rule.

Parking

Listing records show one covered, assigned carport space per unit, plus guest parking. Some listings describe the space as deeded. Confirm the space that conveys with the unit and whether boat trailer or RV parking is permitted.

Building condition and condo law

The Sylvette buildings date to the 1960s. Florida’s milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) requirements apply to condo buildings of three or more habitable stories, so ask the association which of its buildings are covered and what the inspections found. Request:

• The milestone inspection summary for each covered building, and whether a phase two inspection or repairs followed
• The most recent SIRS, or a written statement if none has been completed
• The current budget and reserve schedule
• Twelve to 24 months of board minutes
• Any adopted or proposed special assessments, including for the pier, docks or seawall

We did not find public news reports about the Sylvette specifically after Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024. Storm surge from those storms caused widespread flooding along the Pinellas beaches, including bayfront areas, so ask how ground floor units and shared areas were affected, how repairs were funded, and whether any claims remain open. Our guide to Florida condo milestone inspections, reserves and SIRS covers what to look for.

Flood and insurance

A recent listing at the Sylvette shows flood zone AE, and listings note hurricane shutters on units. Ground floor and upper floor units can carry very different flood exposure, so ask for the elevation details on the specific unit. Request the association’s master policy declarations and get your own HO-6 and flood quotes early in your inspection period. Our St. Pete Beach flood zones and insurance guide explains how flood zones and elevation affect coverage.
