Welcome to our beautiful beachfront condo. We purchased unit #245 because of its WOW factor. I'm sure you will feel the same way. The Diplomat consists of twin two story buildings with a total of 50 units. We're located on the second floor in the middle of the complex. Location, location! Your backdoor opens up to stairs that lead directly to the heated pool, and beach. The view from the balcony enables you to indulge your senses, while gazing at the 500 ft. beachfront, grassy area, Tiki huts, and the pool. Sit and relax with your morning coffee and watch the stone crab fisherman pull up their traps, while the pelicans feed nearby. Experience the excitement, as you watch a pod of dolphins swim by. Enjoy the beach/pool or rent a bike and explore the island on the 12 miles of bike paths. In the evening you'll want to sit on the balcony, or under one of the Tiki huts with your favorite beverage. Grab your camera, there's a picture perfect sunset on your horizon, marking the end of a perfect day.
Unit #245 has a spacious fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and above the stove microwave oven. You may choose to prepare your own meals or drive(a free trolley service is also available) to St. Armands circle and try one of the many restaurants located there. After dinner we have a small selection of movies to watch on our new 47 inch TV and Samsung sound system. Video rentals are available in the Publix/CVS retail center, one mile south of the Diplomat, or there's always your favorite show on TV. ENJOY!

My daughters and I stayed in your unit from 6/1 -6/5, and I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed it. The furnishings were comfortable, and we had everything we needed at our fingertips. The day we left the workers came in to start the kitchen remodel. I didnt notice that it needed one, but will love seeing the finished product. Hope to rent from you again.

Kim, Thank you so much for your wonderful place. We loved our three nights here. Loved the decorations, cleanliness, location, and what a beautiful beach! Love the crystal clear water. We had our ten month old with us and it was nice having a separate room to put him in. We look forward to coming back soon!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Every December, we join our former neighbors from Cincinnati, here on Longboat Key. We have stayed at the Diplomat for years, never have we been so comfortable. You did an outstanding job remodeling, making your unit warm and welcoming. Not to mention well appointed and stacked with all the necessities. Thank you!! for putting the time, energy, effort and investment into making this a home away from home.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I wanted to write to tell you that my family of four had a wonderful time staying in your unit at the Diplomat Resort. We have never stayed on Longboat key before, but found the beach very clean and quiet, perfect for our family. It was nice to be able to walk down the stairs and be right on the beach, or in the pool. The furnishings were very nice and the kitchen was nice for us to prepare meals. We also liked the close location to the grocery store which was a quick walk for us. Thank you and we hope to come back someday.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: We owned a vacation home in Key Largo, Fl. for 14 years, and sold it in 2005. Since then we have traveled to all the European countries and North Africa. It was time for us to stay in place for awhile so we decided to purchase another vacation home. Longboat Key came up in conversations with friends and relatives who live nearby or had visited the island. We contacted a realtor and drove up the coast. After two days of looking at apartments we discovered #245 at the Diplomat. Our first impression of the unit was, WOW!! After spending the night, and experiencing the sunset and sunrise we made an offer to purchase.
Why the Owner Chose Diplomat:
Vacationing on this peaceful island is truly a pleasure. If your looking for a quiet place, with a quaint small town feel, this is the spot for you! Your beautiful decorated condo is only steps from the beach. The day is yours. Relax! Take a leisurely walk along the shoreline, or gather sea shells to add to your collection. The possibilities are endless.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The condo comes fully equipped with a 47 inch TV, stereo system, all the cooking utensils and appliances you'll need to prepare meals, and daily maid service. The friendly staff is available 7 days a week with an emergency number for after hours. To the North of the Diplomat is Ana Maria island/Bradenton beach, and Cortez, a small fishing village with great seafood restaurants. To the South is St. Armands circle with upscale boutiques and excellent restaurants( try the Columbia for Cuban/Spanish cuisine). Over the causeway is Sarasota with its large Amish community(great restaurants) and its many cultural activities including opera, ballet, live theater, and museums.
