The property was beautiful with a lovely pool and magnificent view of the ocean from the huge screened in lanai.The condo was so comfortable and extremely well equipped and Beth and Richard were such gracious hosts who were so attentive and kind.
Absolutely outstanding property and host. This is a perfect location away from the hustle and close enough to key dining and shopping. Amenities are fantastic as the unit included all items required for a month long stay. Our hosts Richard and Beth were great! We will be staying here again if they will have us.
Everything from start to finish was wonderful. Location, cleanliness, amenities, everything you need in the kitchen, and above all else was our hosts.
The quiet Beach, the sand dollars, the wildlife, so many restaurants in walking distance, the heated pool. We were sad to leave.
We had a nice time. The condo has everything you need. Kitchen is beautifully stocked and pre-arrival and on-site instructions and information were extensive and accurate. Beach is beautiful with nice beach chairs. Did not love that you could not grill anywhere. Great though that you can walk to like 6 restaurants. Main bed was comfortable which is important to us. We had an issue with the fridge when there and the owners worked really hard to resolve it; stuff happens, so we get it. No elevator so you need good mobility for the second floor walkup.
We just wrapped up a 6 week stay in sea pines while our son was a day camper at IMG.
The location was perfect. Longboat key is superbly located in the sarasota area
if you liek quite beaches; which we do.. this is the spot. Miles of sandy beaches perfect for walking, picking sea shells and relaxing.
Some great restaurants nearby and easy access off and on the island.
We highly recommend
We were so blessed to stay here! Thank you for allowing guests at your beautiful condo. We especially loved the family time on the balcony, the full equipped kitchen, the comfortable rooms and quality furnishings. Above all, the view. It was such a welcomed respite. Highly recommend!
Loved this location and it's beach! Quiet neighborhood close to everything. Great restaurants within walking distance. Nice pool area. Make sure you walk the beach to Greer Island. Amazingly beautiful place. Condo was furnished with so many things a person might need. All in all Great place.
This was the perfect condo for our 1 month stay. Beth and Richard were very communicative before and throughout our entire stay. Beth even wrote a long, thoughtful, detailed email with her top recommendations on where to go, where to eat, things to do, etc when I asked her for tips. There was a hurricane during our stay and Richard was monitoring the weather and checking in with us and even offered to refund us if we wanted to leave the condo early (we ended up staying through it all). The place was recently renovated, and all the towels, linens, etc were super clean. The condo felt lightly lived in and I felt right at home -- they were very thorough and detail-oriented and had tons of utensils/plates etc. The furniture felt high-end (very plush, deep couch) and the master bed was very comfortable. The pool was very clean and well-kept and we were right on the beach, separated by a 3 min walk through some shrubs. The condo was also the perfect location, walking distance to 2 of my favorite restaurants (Mar Vista and Shore), right across bridge to Anna Maria Island and all the Bradenton Beach restaurants etc, and a 20 min drive to St Armand's Circle. The beach itself was beautiful, felt very private, clean white sand and warm turquoise waters. Really loved having Beth and Richard as hosts, and this is the only vrbo/airbnb I've ever stayed in where I would consider returning as repeat visitors/customers :) Thank you Beth and Richard, keep in touch!
This rental is simply fabulous! The unit is so well stocked with everything from beach chairs to kitchen gadgets! There was nothing we lacked for during our stay! It truly is a magical place!
Great location very well kept and furnished could not have been more pleased.
Very cooperative and owners were more than helpful with rental.

The Smith’s beautiful condo on Longboat was exactly as described. We would change absolutely nothing
We can’t say enough about our month on Longboat Key, it was so beautiful and peaceful. Beth and Richard’s condo was equipped with everything we could possibly need: beach chairs, umbrellas, completely furnished kitchen with new appliances and every gadget imaginable! The condo is newly renovated and beautiful and the view off the balcony is of total serenity- the pool, manicured lawns and the Gulf of Mexico just a short walk away down a little path through the sea grass. The owners were extremely easy to work with and provided detailed information to insure our stay was hassle free. We Look forward to returning next year!

The Perfect Beachfront Condo
We have been coming to LBK since 1986 and formerly owned a beachfront condo on the island. For the past 5 years we have been renting. This was by far the most completely home-like condo that we have experienced. Virtually everything you could need for a month in paradise was here. High-end appliances, beautifully updated and redecorated throughout, amazing collection of kitchenware (pots/pans/untensils/glassware/wine glasses/flatware...), better cutlery than we have at home, an extensive collection of herbs and spices, more food storage containers than can likely fit in the refrigerator, regular and Kuerig coffee makers - complete with coffees! The beach towels were all new and plentiful along with bath towels and other linens. High quality beach chairs and devices - and, we could just go on and on!
The only thing missing for us was a community BBQ grill
The location and the views speak for themselves - you probably wouldn't be looking at LBK if you don't already know that. But this condo is special and the owners bordered on being overly attentive to our needs and comforts. They worked with us on adding a couple days to our stay and allowing us to check-in a little early. They reached out to make sure we safe as Hurricane Michael passed. They provided complete and clear information about everything from the Smart TV's to the Printer/FAX/Scanner (Yes, available for our use at no cost - they even had extra paper!) We can't wait to return!
To the Smith's ... well done!!
