AMI Paddleboard Adventures and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens are also worth visiting. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
As advertised and a wonderful property for family vacation. Best features are clean and up to date property with private pool that the kids adored. Property is well maintained and equipped. Walk to great beach is only 4 minutes with great sunsets. The owner communicates well and efficiently.
We had a wonderful stay at this property, location and the house was a perfect fit for our group (5 adults plus 1 young child). Communication with owners was great. Would recommend!
This house was perfect for our family of six. Very clean and spacious, gourmet kitchen and comfortable family room, and a perfect pool area overlooking the bay. Less than five minute walk to the beautiful beach and close to many good restaurants too. Highly recommend!
Lovely, large home with a beautiful view of the bay front. House is stocked with everything needed for a beach vacation. Loved the large pool and covered patio. Plenty of room for everyone. Short walk to the beach and shops/restaurants. This house is attached to the neighbors which made it somewhat awkward. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would rent this house again.
Beautiful home on the bay! VERY short walk across to the beach. Everything we needed in the house to be comfortable for our week stay. Great having the 3 en suite bathrooms. Owners were wonderful to work with! We will be back!
This is an older "typical Florida" property that has been nicely updated with fresh Master Bathroom and new Kitchen and a fabulous Pool and Pool Deck with outstanding views of Sarasota Bay. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and we greatly enjoyed our 2 week stay.
5 of us stayed here for a week and it was just as advertised. The pool was amazing, as was access to the beach across the street. Beautiful view from the pool area. Three en-suite bedrooms with a 1/2 bath in the LR. The place had everything you could need. We had one issue which was fixed immediately. Longboat Key is beautiful! Great restaurants nearby. The neighhood is nice and quiet. Can’t wait to go back!!
The house was clean and fully equipped. Beautiful view. Nice big swimming pool. A pier on the bay. The beach, a 2 minute walk. Several good restaurants very close. I would stay here any time. Recommended.
Our family (my wife & I plus our two adult children) stayed at this spacious property just to get away from the Midwest cold and recharge for the New Year.
Our host (Dina) was very helpful and responsive with our questions. The bedrooms were very open and each with their own bathroom, which was nice. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking onsite and we had the option to dine indoors or by the heated pool outdoors. The property and grounds are very well kept and just a enough seclusion off of the main drag (Gulf of Mexico Drive).
We researched and found many great places to go out to eat and found beautiful beaches everywhere we went. Anna Maria was our favorite with a less touristy feel. We found many things to do from St. Armands Key to a Green Bay Packer establishment loaded with friendly faces.
Best of all, our family spent quality time together and we even taught our children the game of Cribbage, which turned out to hit in the evenings before bed!
If we come back to Longboat Key, we will definitely come back to Dina's relaxing and beautiful property!

What a fantastic property. My family and I stayed here over Thanksgiving week.
The house is exactly as described in the VRBO listing. Extremely spacious with large bedrooms and living area providing maximum comfort. A well stocked kitchen made a week's worth of meal prep very easy. All the furniture is clean and comfortable with just the right amount of tasteful decor. The location on Gulf of Mexico Drive is super convenient for getting to restaurants, St Armand's Circle, Publix and, of course the beach right across the street.
Of course the private pool right off the living/dining area is a highlight of the house. Our two young boys, 8 and 4, spent just about every waking hour in the pool, especially on the days when it wasn't quite beach weather. I highly recommend paying to have the pool heated in the cooler months.
Great communication by the property manager prior to and during check-in as well as throughout our stay. My family and I are already talking about how soon we can return.
We really liked this house. It had everything we needed for our stay. The owners were super efficient and helpful. The bbq was the cleanest we’ve ever encountered in a rental. Would recommend, happily.
Property is on the bay. We saw all kinds of wildlife including dolphins. Short walk to the Gulf of Mexico. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Will be renting again.
This house has been completely renovated with excellent taste and finishes. The kitchen and master bath are exceptional. Also, the front yard is artistic and welcoming. The owners have thoughtfully provided anything you might need during your stay and are responsive and easy to contact. We enjoyed the beautiful view, the large screened pool and the easy access to the Gulf. It was a wonderful week!
Our family enjoyed this vacation home and it’s location was perfect to Sarasota Bay, the large pool on the patio and the Gulf across the street. Home was spacious and clean and modern.
One of the best homes we have ever stayed at! Derek and Dina were fantastic hosts and very accessible. House was in an awesome location, extremely clean, and well furnished! Pool was wonderful after a nice day at the beach. Bedding was fantastic! Must stay!
Spacious home , with well appointed kitchen and recent renovations in a great location! Enjoyed the ease of being across the beach, the view on the bay side. Also thoughtful to have well equipped large main level TV with available services of Amazon, Netflix, etc, rendering
our stay comfortable!! Would not hesitate to return!
Enjoyed our surprise family reunion…. We had this place planned with sister and husband and brother and wife, total 6 of us, and surprise! my other two sisters and 3 brothers all surprised us! They all stayed nearby but this house was so perfect, large enough to let us all have a great visit. Pool was great…. Weather could have been warmer but house was great. Beds were comfortable and all was great. Highly recommend for family gatherings….
The house and location were wonderful, the pool and being on the bay were very relaxed and Dina and her husband were excellent. Hope to stay here again soon
This house is so much larger than pictured. The rooms are huge. The kitchen is very well stocked. The laundry room was even great. The Host answered questions very very quickly via text. The only suggestions would be is that the guest bedrooms needed new sheets. Very pilled. The guest bedroom upstairs needs a good cleaning and bathroom needs updating. Cookie sheets all need replacement. But other than that it is house we would rent again. The pool! Wow! Had a blast. The dock was so relaxing too. We just had a blast.
