Longboat Key Club is a very well maintained and clean property. Located close to the beach and has two beautiful pools. The condo was large, well stocked but needed some updating especially the master bedroom carpeting. It's a very quiet end unit on the 1st floor with easy beach access and a nice outdoor patio. If we came back to Longboat Key we would definitely stay here again.

After a diastrous last-minute VRBO cancellation, my realtor, Sally Duceatt found me a place at Club Longboat, unit 516. It was perfect: it was clean, it was amazingly well-supplied, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Particularly, Laurie Slade. I forgot my laptop, and she got it to me safely. She is an extraordinary employee. This is my second year with RVA, and her presence alone will encourage me to use RVA again! Alicia Resnick

Despite unfavorable weather this January, my husband and I had a lovely stay at this unit in Club Longboat. It was very private and had all we needed in a home away from home. There were some issues that came up but management was responsive. Some floor work and painting had been done before we arrived and workers did not clean up after their job but we worked through that. My only complaint is that management has bee unresponsive in getting bact to me about arrangements for next year
