Longboat Key rental house

The rental house was very economical. It was not fancy, but close to everything (restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach. We enjoyed our time.

A pleasant house with a nice outdoor area

I stayed here with my family recently and enjoyed the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen (though no dishwasher), and a backyard gas grill that worked well. The house is not on the beach, but it is close to a public beach and not far from grocery stores and other amenities. Frankly, we spent most of our time away from the property and at the beach, but this was a nice home base for us. We enjoyed our stay!

Labor Day Weekend

The cottage was immaculate and located minutes to a public beach that was beautiful and less crowded. After a day at the beach, we enjoyed being close to great restaurants, and a kitchen equipped with everything you need to put together a meal for a family. The new fire stick on the TV was a nice way to wind down. Finally, the linens and beds were fantastic !!! Finally, it was very nice to have a private garage to park the car. We hope to return!

Cute, quiet and comfortable!

An older cottage as was advertised, but well furnished. Comfortable beds and well equipped with most needs! Owners were responsive and accommodating. Neighborhood was quiet ..except for an occasional peacock. Close to several good restaurants.

Centrally Located Cottage in Bucolic Historic Village

We're LBK residents who needed a place to bugout while our home was being fumigated. It was also a work week so I wasn't certain a 'cottage in a historic village' would be equipped with the kind of WiFi to accommodate my work-from-home demands. I dare say the connection in the cottage is much better than what you'll get at the Longboat Key Resort. Besides that, we fell instantly in love with the place's unassuming size and unpretentious decor. It's charming, tranquil, private and accessible to the Whitney's and Shore's on the bikes—provided by the hosts. We've changed our attitude on the multi-million dollar, cookie-cutter modern mansions despoiling the island after a week's stay in something small yet with so much character and spirit. We would definitely find an excuse to spend a few nights there again even though we already have our own place on LBK.

Treasured Island Retreat

This property is truly a treasure. Diana goes the extra mile to make sure guests are comfortable in the enchanting Longboat Key north end village. This very well maintained historical cottage is less common in what was the original fishing village of LBK because many of the original buildings are being replaced with new construction. This charming cottage is very clean with not only a well equipped kitchen, but everything you need for the beach, including beach bicycles to toodle to Whitney Beach! I hope to have the pleasure of staying here again!

Cozy & Perfect Beach House

We absolutely loved and enjoyed our stay! We are already planning our return for next year! Communication with the Taylor’s was great. We arrived and had a smooth check in. The beach house is in a quite old Florida neighborhood that was perfect for our family, and we loved the old beach house feel and the stunning outside. We were minutes from everything which was a huge plus. I highly recommend to anyone but especially families.

Family wedding trip

We had a great time at this home 1950's classic beach style. Great set up. We were visiting LBK for a family wedding. This home easily held several generations without being on top of on another. Out party was 5 adults 2 children. Owners were responsive and helpful. Instructions were straight forward. Home was close to several great beaches. The neighborhood peacocks were so neat. Nice fenced in yard for privacy. Beach supplies were all in places. Chairs, umbrellas, towels, and sand toys. Thank you! Parking for two vehicles was easy. The garage allowed for screened in relaxation.

Family Wedding

The property was superbly “old Florida” - not new or flashy, but well appointed, super-comfy, and very convenient to everything. Loved the deck and surrounding flora. Had a great time and fully intend to rent this property again.

Great Stay!

We spent 7 nights at this location. The house is as described in the listing and everything was in working condition. The location was great; about a 3 minute drive/10 minute walk to a beach that hardly ever had anyone on it, a 4 minute drive to a great seafood restaurant (Marvista) and very close to all the restaurants and activities on Anna Maria Island. The house had good WiFi and a tv with good cable listings. There was also a good selection of games for all ages. Beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys were also there for our use. Once you poke around the kitchen you will find just about everything you need to whip up a meal with. The neighborhood was quiet with very friendly neighbors. Even though we were asked to not open the windows (due to their age) the AC worked great and kept us comfortable the entire time - outdoor temps were in the 80s during our stay. Communication with the owners was excellent. They usually responded within 10-15 minutes both before and during our stay. All in all a great experience. We would highly recommend this place and we hope to return some day.

Cute cottage

We had a fun stay in this historic LBK home. The beds were very comfortable and their was a lot of space. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes-too far to carry chairs, a cooler, and an umbrella, but really nice for a morning stroll. The only disappointment is that the pictures showed 3 bikes, but there were only 2, so not enough for my family. Also, I was looking forward to lounging outside on the furniture but it wasn't there. There was a table with chairs but the rest of the furniture was gone. The house is older, but that is pretty clear from the description. The air worked great, and we had to turn on the heat on the final morning and it worked well too. Overall it was a very nice stay.

Great owner

Diana was terrific responded to questions and texts immediately. The internet went down in the entire neighborhood temporarily because the cable company cut a cord that gave service to the neighborhood. Diana was extremely helpful and found me a friends office to use as I had an important webinar I had to deliver. The problem was not her fault but she went the extra mile to help. The property is within walking distance to the beach and three great restaurants. The beds were extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend the property.

Poorly Maintained Property

This is the worse experience we have ever had with a VRBO property. If we had known the true condition of the property we would never have rent it. We spent our first 2 days trying unsuccessfully to find another rental. The condition of the property was totally unacceptable, including, all of the windows, frames and screens were extremely dirty; the screen door to the deck was broken and not useable; the wall of screens on one side of the garage were torn; the grounds were so unsightly that we cleaned them up; the outdoor furniture was so dirty that we had to scrub it before we could use it; the gas grill was so filthy it was not useable; we were told not to open windows so no fresh air except through one door with no screens; and the garbage disposal did not work. The owners and their alleged manager did not address any of these problems other than to clean up the yard after 7 days, offer to clean the grill that was not cleanable and offer to repair disposal by interrupting our vacation which we declined. Additionally, the owners did not provide essentials such as garbage bags, bar soap or adequate toilet paper and paper towels, all of which we had to purchase. The historic positive reviews of the property that we relied on do not apply to the current condition of the property. Chuck & Joan

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jan 2021
We were not allowed to meet expectations for our guests. They refused to permit anyone into the house to check on, fix or try to remedy. He did allow our yard crew access for the weekly landscaping. We are truly sorry we did not meet their expectations and strive for 5 star reviews. We have over 10 years of VRBO reviews [even 5 stars from the most recent guest just before his arrival].

Cute bungalow in Quiet neighborhood

We really enjoyed our stay in Longboat Key. The house is a bungalow on the smaller side, but we had plenty of space for 2 adults and 4 teens. The AC was cold and there were 2 refrigerators to stock up on food and drinks. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was adequately stocked. Just note that the Master BR does not have an ensuite, but that wasn't a problem for us. The 3 bikes and beach chairs came in handy for the short 5 min ride (or 15 min walk ) to the public beach. You can stop off at "Whitneys" on the way for a snack and cold beverage. The MarVista and Shore restaurants and public bay access is literally just around the corner. Diane was very responsive and communication was great. This area of Longboat Key is more residential and much quieter and less crowded than the beaches on Anna Maria Island. So, kick back relax and enjoy.
