Beautiful house, great location, thoughtful owners

Our stay was very enjoyable, due to a number of factors: the house is lovely and one of the most thoughtfully stocked homes (of kitchen and bath supplies, bedding, towels, beach toys,etc) we have ever rented; the house guidebook is clear and thorough re all the house, neighborhood and recreational information you need; the area is great for easy access to the beach, walking trails, and tennis and a pool across the street. The canal that follows the road ends at the house, so sitting on the patio or the small dock are nice ways to relax. Finally, we found the owners so easy to communicate with for quick questions…it felt like we already knew each other. When we had visitors stay with us, the house’s layout was really impressive in how bedrooms and baths are spaced to allow for privacy and minimal sound challenges. You will be lucky to be able to stay here….we know how lucky we are to find this place and we plan to return!

Already booked for next year!

Our multigenerational family of 7-8 really enjoyed our stay at Jennifer’s home. We have been renting in the area (AMI to LBK) for the past 8+ years and this was the most comfortable place yet! It really felt like we got an equal return on our investment. The property is beautiful, we enjoyed the outdoor space so much (dining tables, couches, grill, kayaks) and the indoor, of course! You can tell how much love and care went into each space of this home. The pool and gym are super close and convenient; the beach is walking distance and we so appreciated the provided beach chairs, towels, toys and wagon. We cook almost every meal at home and found the kitchen to be sufficient for our needs, but also enjoyed the comforts that were in walking distance/ coffee, pizza, restaurant and convenience store. We’ve already booked for next year and that’s the first time we’ve ever rented the same place twice!

A Dream Getaway!

Jennifer has done it. She has created the perfect beach vacation getaway dream house. Our group of 8x 30-somethings spent a memorable week enjoying Longboat Key's beaches, waterways, wildlife, and natural charm. The space comfortably accommodated all, and Jennifer was lovely and incredibility communicative. Would highly highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

After visiting Longboat Key for the past eight years, my husband and I were lucky enough to find this wonderful property. We took over a year and a half to strip it down to the studs and replace nearly everything! We now enjoy this brand new home complete with all the beautiful finishes and cherished family furnishings that we love. We hope you will enjoy this peaceful retreat as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Unique to the island, this house sits at the mouth of the canal. Your view is down the canal which is protected mangroves on one side and boat docks on the other. With few houses on the street, it is a serene and quiet street. Quick access to both the bay and the beach!

What makes this property unique

The mangroves create a magical feel to this property. Enjoy the 100+ year old cedar trees on and surrounding the property as well as the new "native" landscaping which includes only those plants and trees found naturally on Longboat Key. Soft sand and meandering paths underfoot creates the ideal island retreat.
