A Spacious Vacation Getaway
Immediately upon entering the home, we noticed how spacious it was with an open concept and a direct view through triple sliding glass doors to a beautiful lanai and large pool. There are 4 good -sized bedrooms, 2 of which have full en suite baths , and there is another full bath adjacent to the other 2 bedrooms. A half bath is located off the entranceway. Two of the bedrooms have direct access to the lanai. The home was clean and comfortable , and the kitchen was fully stocked. Beach chairs, pool toys, bicycles, and fishing equipment were available. St. Armands Circle is 2 miles away, offering boutique shops and many fine restaurants. Even though the red tide kept us away from the beach, we spent many hours relaxing in the pool and enjoying happy hour on the lanai. Marcia and Lou were the perfect hosts! We had a simply marvelous stay and plan to return next year.

Longboat Key Living
We had 5 adults visiting Longboat for the Thanksgiving weekend and could not have had a better stay at this house. The house is in great shape, the pool area is excellent and the house is in a very nice area. We spent 7 days at the house with no issues and would recommend it as an exceptional rental.

Loved it!
We were here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our grown kids and spouses - 6 of us. We had a terrific time in part because this property was perfect for us. Immaculate, with a beautiful working kitchen and lovely pool area. The guys fished off the pier and enjoyed some football on TV - all of us enjoyed the pool. It is obvious that Marcia takes a lot of pride in her property and cares that her guests have a great vacation. She’s attentive, friendly and helpful. The home is amply supplied with everything a guest would need. We could not have found a better place for our celebration vacation. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Marcia Benson

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Ohio and when I met my husband, Lou, he was living in Florida. It took a little convincing and moved to Stuart, Florida in 2000 – and in case you were wondering, I don’t miss the snow and ice at all!
I invested in real estate even when I was in Ohio. So when I relocated to Florida I became a licensed realtor with Berkshire Hathaway.
My sister and brother live in the Sarasota area, and when we came to visit, I would hunt for real estate. When we saw this house we liked the layout, location and possibilities. It was big enough for large gatherings, yet not too big for a couple.
My husband and I completely remodeled the home – literally from top to bottom. We wanted to make the home family-friendly, open and welcoming.
We’re sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Like us, you will find that Longboat Key is a unique place. The island life style is casual and fun. Our home is in a nice residential community and only 2 miles to St. Armand’s Circle for shopping and restaurants (and there’s a Kilwin’s Ice Cream Shop). The Mote Marine Aquarium is a mile away. There are miles of beach just across the way.
We are boaters and love the west Florida waters. The house has a big deep water dock. We are minutes to Sarasota Bay and a little over a mile by water to the New Pass Inlet to the Gulf.
And if that wasn’t enough we have easy access to all the culture that Sarasota has to offer.
Plus we love the sunsets.

What makes this property unique

This home is a one stop shop for a perfect vacation, retreat or family get-together. The deep water dock allows you to rent or bring your boat next to the house.
The layout of the house has large gathering spaces and at the same time separated bedrooms for privacy.
The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances and has lots of counter space and room.
The expansive beach is close by and all the amenities of a big city are a short ride over the bridge. Or you can stay at home and enjoy the grill, deck and pool.
