Long Boat Key

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location, beautiful beach and a lot of very good restaurants close by. Beach chairs and umbrella were provided. Our room was clean but the bedding needs improvement, small blanket for a king size bed. No staff onsite but check in and out was easy. Very disappointed that the pool was dirty the entire week we were on vacation, even after I reported this problem. Also the grounds on the gulf side needed to be cleaned.

Great private beach to getaway

Love the property - vegetation is still recovering from hurricane - but that’s expected - I did find out we paid 1 1/2 times more per night for our stay than another couple who booked at the same time - that is concerning - is it VRBO that makes it so much higher ?

The Beach on Longboat Key

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was easy to check in to and out of. Easy to find and we were on 2nd floor and view of beach, ocean and nightly sunsets were SPECTACULAR! Bed was very comfortable and bath towels were good quality. We arrived at night and stairwell to 2nd floor and hallway was pitch black; we had to use our Iphone flashlights for safety. This was reported. Condo decor was a little tired. Oven was filthy and cooktop was dirty and very worn. There were limited kitchen amenities. Suggestion is to supply small bottle of diswashing liquid and a sponge. Bring your own bar of soap or bath gel soap; only two tiny bars were supplied. TV was very difficult to figure out and hubby is super high tech; he finally was able to get it working. Despite a few suggestions, we had a very relaxing stay on the beach and enjoyed the lounge chairs and umbrellas that were provided. Thank you.

Great Winter Get Away

Property manager was very helpful. The unit was clean and well stocked. We stayed in the same unit last year. It was the same, all in good order. The property remains in bad shape, following the storm. Understandable. We hope the owners are committed to restoring it. It will take time. Still a wonderful location right on the beach.

Was not able to stay because of Hurricane.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hurricane happened before my stay and I was told on the phone that everything was fine and I could book online which I did. I was called a few days later to be told that I could not stay. I have been trying since to get my money back.

Beach-front at Longboat Key

Rating Details: The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This studio was one of the best we've stayed at. Seemed larger than it was due to all the storage options. Unfortunately the floors were filthy inside and on the balcony. The grounds need to be sprayed for mosquitoes and the lawn for chiggers. We got so many bug bites. We had really wanted to enjoy our outside balcony while looking at the ocean. We applied bug spray and picked up a citronella candle from Publix. It helped a little but not enough. Would stay at on the key again, but most likely would find another place.

Peaceful with some more care

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay in this room when we go to longboat key. The appliances were upgraded but are noisy for some reason. I also would suggest some pest control as there were several bugs in the room. The fan is on reverse and there is no fan remote to change it and don’t even bother trying to watch tv, it took me quite a while to get that to work and missed game 7 of the Stanley cup.

Perfect Place to Just Getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is a hidden Gem, Checking in was a breeze, Sue is very friendly gave me a bunch of recommendations for restaurants. My room was so quaint & nice, very clean! I was able to enjoy & unwind on the patio & watch the waves crash the white sandy beach. I even saw some giant bunny rabbits & dolphins. Being able to sleep listening to the waves was so relaxing. I waking up the an amazing sunrise sure gives a person a whole new meaning to Rise & Shine.

A beautiful view

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is small and older. The Beach is not crowded and the pool was never busy. It was a very relaxing place to stay. Everyone was friendly. These are condo units and each are owned individually so I can only speak about 226. The screen on the sliding door was all bent and on our last day there management used their key at 9 in the morning without knocking(check out was 11) and walked in on me dressing. Other than that it was a really nice stay!

Would have been great, except.....

Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ll start with the good....great view from balcony!Not so good....very uncomfortable bed, dirty floors, mold and mildew on shower walls and shower curtain. And why is it necessary to charge a cleaning fee when we as guests are required to do part of the work?

Great views, well appointed

We loved our stay! Studio well appointed and cute, balcony and views great! Right on the beach, we listened to the sounds of waves every night! Incredible sunset view from our unit and balcony. Quiet! Screen doors could use a replacement, but other than that it was perfect! One star down on the cleaning because the cleaner apparently didn’t clean behind the bathroom door. Everything else was very clean. We hope to be back.

Beautiful Beach

Can't say enough about how beautiful the beach and set up was! Loved it! It's small and quiet, no large crowds anywhere. Perfect set up for us as a couple looking to just relax and put our feet in the sand for a short vaca while combing a trip to the east coast to visit family. Our first time on Long Boat Key and really hope to come back!

Vacation getaway

The condo was nice and had a really good view. Especially sunset! It’s location is just a short drive to restaurants, shopping and jet ski rentals. The turtle bar cafe was good and the shore restaurant was amazing! Would love to go back again and try out some other activities and restaurants.

Cute studio, gorgeous views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: The views of the gulf are gorgeous, and the little balcony was perfect for morning coffee overlooking the water. The decor is cute and beachy. It’s got a full-size fridge and oven, if you want to eat in. Easy check-in. Cons: The mattress was comfy enough, but the pillows were too thick and hard for me (just my preference). The balcony furniture could use a refresh. Overall: For the price, you can’t beat it. I’d 100% recommend for a beach getaway.

Incredible View and Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit and resort were absolutely perfect for our anniversary trip! The resort was smaller meaning we had plenty of space on the beach. The provided beach chairs and umbrellas were very appreciated. The heated pool was wonderful, but could have used some lighting for the early evenings. We had a great time and cannot wait to visit The Beach on Longboat Key again!!

Quiet and relaxing

We loved the room and property. I know we live in Florida and the ants are everywhere. But there were ants in the bathroom and you couldnt leave anything out in the kitchen. Because the ants would be all over it. Other than that we loved the place!
