Twenty-six residences on the sand, and one lease a year.
Casa Grande sits directly on the Gulf at 9653 Gulf Shore Drive, nine floors and twenty-six residences with views from every home. Its rental policy is the strictest on the street — a single lease per year, thirty-day minimum — which makes it one of the most consistently owner-occupied buildings on Vanderbilt Beach, and the reason it stays as quiet in February as it does in September.

Residences at Casa Grande
Residences run two and three bedrooms from roughly 1,579 to 2,014 square feet, with a den in select plans — generous square footage for a building of this era, and a size range that suits full-season use rather than a lock-and-leave weekend. Every home has a water view; the building sits in first position on the sand, so the living areas and lanais look straight out over the beach to the Gulf and the sunset. As with most beachfront buildings from the early eighties, condition is the variable that matters most: some residences remain close to original, others have been rebuilt to current standards. Floor plans are available on request.
Amenities and Location
The amenity program is straightforward — a pool and sun deck on the beach side, a grill and gathering area, extra storage and direct access to the sand — which keeps quarterly fees proportionate in a building of twenty-six owners. The location does the rest: the Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort is a short distance south along the same beach, with the Turtle Club and LaPlaya nearby, and Mercato, Whole Foods and Waterside Shops are minutes east on Vanderbilt Beach Road. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is a few minutes north.
