In the year 2004 my husband and I found a condo on Longboat Key and rented for the a month in the summer. My husband continued to work and join us on the weekends. I was able to spend the week in the condo with my three boys 4, 6 and 15. We continued this tradition for over 12 years. We feel in love with Longboat Key and were able to purchase our own unit last year. It is our paradise and hope you are able to enjoy as well.
