About this property

Client texted view crazy Last minute cancellation Apr 25 - May 16th on sale

This property is a family-owned 800 square foot tower apartment on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. There is a full kitchen, living area with a queen size sleeper sofa, and a bedroom with two queen size beds. It is part of the Zilli Collection. Each with the Zilli touch of amazing view, decor, (not typical wicker furniture, silly beach artifacts, 40 year old flooring, one SIZE fits all, etc.). We call it upscale coastal. The properties are more of a resort, 5 star hotel feel. We own an elegant upscale home next door, a penthouse unit, a direct walk out unit, along with 2 units with the option to connect into one suite.
You’ll find everything you need on-site from free WIFI to dishes, linens, towels and even a few extras you may need for your stay like puzzles and soap. There is a pool and a covered area with grills and picnic tables overlooking the beach. Hope to see you soon at one of my beautiful vacation homes. All you need is your bathing suit and a toothbrush. The beach is just steps away.
This resort is not a place of public accommodation as defined by the ADA and, therefore, does not meet the accessibility requirements of the ADA. That said, there are some accessible features at the facility. Please ask me specific questions to determine if this property would a good fit for your needs.

Dana hello from the Commonwealth Kentucky thank you so much for your gracious words. I love it especially your comments about the blinds because everyone has vertical blinds that fall off all the time and they can be replaced for $239 in my blinds give you so many options get a cost of $5000. God's blessings.

First off, Jim is wonderful and gives you all the information you'll need upfront and makes sure instructions are clear and easy to understand. His communication is impeccable and you can tell you does everything he can to ensure you have a fantastic vacation. Our trip was far too short, but was probably one of the best short getaways my husband and I have had in our 17 years as a couple. The unit is open and welcoming, spacious and clean! If I wasn't laying out at the beach, my time was spent sitting on the balcony enjoying the fresh air and relaxing! The views are amazing! The beach is nice and quiet, and time almost feels as if it could stand still. I'm also pretty sure my husband took a two and a half day nap on the beach while I was soaking up all of the vitamin D. We were sad to leave, but we will definitely be back next time we stay in Longboat Key!

Thank you, Rob and to you people reading this when he mentions a short walk to the beach it gives the impression it's not on the Gulf of Mexico. It is 60 feet to the sand and probably 100/120 yards maximum to the water.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Zilli

Host profile image
Jim Zilli grew up in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area. He started coming to Longboat Key in the early 1980's. Jim had previously purchased the nearby two-bedroom villa and came to live in Longboat Key full-time in 2009. He then purchased the Tower 503 and Ocean Front 101 both of which have upscale touches equivalent to a Ritz or St. Regis suite.

Jim is CEO in the family’s Wisconsin on off-site catering special events business, so he has ample experience in hospitality. He finds great enjoyment and satisfaction helping guests have amazing vacations in his properties – many of whom come back year after year. “I have many families who I have gotten to know over the years and spent time , dining , golfing , helped them find realtors, and more,” says Jim.

Clients have complimented Jim’s style as attentive and not pushy. They appreciate he will check in with them during their stay. He wants renters to know he’s there for them.

Why they chose this property

The most obvious reason Jim chose Longboat Key is the weather and beauty of this location, and the Villa is located just steps from a world-class beach. Guests never run out of things to do, whether it’s enjoying the nightlife in nearby Sarasota or simply collecting shells along the white sand beach. The weather provides just enough variety so you won’t be bored. Unlike other areas of Florida, Longboat Key is quiet, safe and has a small-town feel he enjoys. The area feels remote and natural yet it’s easy to access with the Sarasota airport just 7 miles east of Sarasota or from Tampa, which is 40 minutes away.

One of Jim’s favorite things to do is golf, and (there are several world-class courses within a 20-minute drive). He also enjoys movies, and recommends the annual film festival in Sarasota. He keeps a running list of the many, many things there are to do in the area - so whether you like to swim, sunbathe, walk on the beach, golf, shop, or all of the above, Jim’s guests find plenty to keep themselves entertained. At the same time, the secluded location offers privacy and quiet so if you, like most of us, need to catch up on rest while you’re here, you can fall asleep to nothing more than the gentle sound of the surf.

What makes this property unique

A secluded Longboat Key small complex with beautiful views of the Gulf and the beach right in front of you.
