  • Directions: When traveling from Downtown Sarasota, head west over the John Ringling Causeway. Continue on John Ringling Blvd through St Armand's Circle, following signs leading toward Lido Beach. Just before the beach, the road will veer to the left and becomes Benjamin Franklin Dr. Continue on Benjamin Franklin to 1770. The building number is on a landscaping rock out front and not on the building. The building itself stands out, with a triangular point facing the road. For clarity, this unit is reached by elevator to the 2nd floor, but the unit is actually on the 3rd floor, due to under building parking.
