Washers and Dryers in Sarasota Beachfront Condos
Posted 06-14-2014 at 07:48 AM by dpbarr2000
Is having a washer and dryer in your own vacation condo unit at one of the beaches in the Sarasota area an important criteria in your property search?
Most vacation condos for sale at our area beaches do not offer units with washer/dryer hook ups. Some condo owners have taken over closet space to cram a stacked unit in, but there can be drawbacks to this. You need an outside wall for ventilation, and proximity to a plumbing source.
You will likely have to get condo approval to make alterations to the outside of the building to put in the dryer vent, but the good news is that other unit owners may have already gone through the process, so it's not impossible.
There are ventless dryers, but that hot humid air has to go somewhere, and Florida already has a lot of hot humid air that your HVAC is continually working to remove.
Plan on a suitable space for a stacked system of at least 30" wide, 32" deep, and 75" high. Think old pantry cabinet in a kitchen, or a linen closet in a hallway near a bathroom.
