About Grand Bay
Grand Bay is a prestigious gated community of luxury mid-rise towers set within Bay Isles on Longboat Key, offering expansive residences with sweeping views of Sarasota Bay, the marina, and the downtown skyline beyond. With generous floor-to-ceiling glass facing east over the bay, the design conversation centers on morning glare, view preservation, and effortless control of large spans of window.
We favor motorized solar roller shades layered with custom drapery — cutting the bright morning light off the bay while keeping the panorama open, then adding warmth and privacy for the evening. As a Lutron Certified Dealer we integrate everything with the building’s smart systems and specify durable, coastal-grade materials for the bayfront setting.

Window Considerations
Designing for Grand Bay Homes
The light, views, and architecture here shape every recommendation we make. Here is what we plan for in Grand Bay.
Large spans to control
Expansive glass is best handled with motorization. Powered shades move wide, tall windows uniformly at the touch of a button.
Gated & association standards
Bay Isles and the tower association both set appearance rules. We coordinate gate access and provide the compliant exterior-facing color.
