About this property

Longboat Key Beachfront - Beautifully Updated with Prime Location

Come enjoy this beautiful beachfront condo!

Completely renovated and updated,, this condo is located at the desirable north end of Longboat Key on one of the most beautiful beaches on the West Coast: white sand, shells, no crowds. The complex has only 64 units in four, 2-storey buildings; all units have their own private outside entrance. This unit is on the second floor where the ocean views are spectacular, including gorgeous sunsets. The condo is done in soothing beach colors (light yellow, blue, white and coral). The living area and master have mirrored walls, enhancing the views, and both open onto a large screened lanai. The living area has a queen sleeper sofa, love seat, chair and ottoman. There is a large TV with DVD. The dining has a table that will seat 10 and a buffet/server. There is colorful art throughout. The kitchen opens onto the dining area to give a light, open feeling. There is a small den off the kitchen with a full-size sleeper sofa and a closet with washer and dryer. Completely furbished, the kitchen has service for 12, many serving dishes and extra appliances including a Keurig coffee maker and an electric wok. The master suite has a king bed, dresser and a flat screen TV. Open the sliding doors to listen to the ocean, or close the room-darkening blinds if you want to sleep late. There are both a dressing area and a bathroom with shower off the master suite as well as a walk-in closet. New cabinets and granite counters can be found in both bathrooms. The second bedroom has twin beds, a single sleeper chair, a flat screen TV and its own complete bath. The beachfront pool can be accessed from the beach or the parking area and there are 2 tennis courts across the street for the exclusive use by Cedars West residents and guests. A barbeque grill is available on site.

(Please note that the Cedars West Condominium Association does not permit rentals for fewer than TWO WEEKS).

Longboat Key is close to both Bradenton and Sarasota, one of the cultural centers of the West Coast. Activities abound for everyone. Nearby are fine and casual dining, golf, parasailing, diving, kayaking, theater, movies, opera, night life. Kids can have fun at Jungle Gardens, Mote Marine or playing miniature golf. Go deep sea fishing and cook your catch in your own kitchen. Plan a morning shopping in the upscale shops on St Armand's Circle and have lunch at the Columbia or another of St Armand's fine restaurants. Rent a bike or take the free trolley up to Bradenton Beach to have a beachfront meal. This is the place for you if you are looking for a relaxing and fun stay at the beach.

Enjoying the precious time together with the whole family
The property was just perfect for four adults, and two small children. It was well equipped and we loved the the beach and the children enjoyed the pool. Everything went very smoothly and the host Carol was very helpful and friendly. We have visited Longboat Key also earlier more than once. However, this was the best stay and we love to come back!

Great condo that feels like home
Carol's condo was beautiful with a view of the ocean, and fully stocked for everything a family would need for two weeks on Longboat! We have never stayed in a unit where every appliance and every utensil you could ever imagine was there and in perfect condition. Thanks for everything Carol.

Wonderful condo and great location
We had a wonderful 2 week stay in this condo. It’s beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and the host has provided everything that you can image needing during your stay. This is the second year in a row that we’ve stayed here and we’ll definitely be going back. It’s just steps to the beach and pool. We enjoyed many wonderful sunsets on the beach and watching fireworks from the beach on July 4.

Great beach
The location was excellent in that it was quiet and less congested on the beach. The lanai had a wonderful sea breeze that msde it such a pleasure to sit out there and enjoy the gulf view.

About the host

Hosted by Carol

Host profile image
I am a retired college professor. I love to travel and have stayed at VRBO apartments myself. My focus is now on my family--especially my grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

My parents were one of the first owners at Cedars West, and my family and I have been coming to Longboat Key since the 1970s. When I took over the condo in 2010 I decided to renovate it to make it as comfortable possible for both my children and grandchildren as well as for future renters.

What makes this property unique

I have tried to create a comfortable beach atmosphere in the unit with all the amenities I could think of. My family and I use the unit periodically, and everything is up to date and of top quality. It is not just a rental, it is a home. I invite you to share a place that I love.
