Great property in perfect location.

We had a wonderful week long stay. The two bedroom unit was very clean and the decor made it feel like a modern beach getaway. The views over the bay from the back sunroom were indescribable. Whether watching a sunrise in the morning or dolphins swim by, it was one of our favorite things about the place. Also, it is less than a 2 minutes walk across the street to the private beach. We highly recommend this place. The owners were also very responsive and pleasant to work with.

Restful and Relaxing

My husband and I stayed almost a month. The condo is beautiful, clean, comfortable and well-appointed. The view of the bay is gorgeous! Saw manatees and dolphins. Wonderful to relax with a good book & watch the view. Very quiet and friendly neighbors. Visited our favorite places on LBK and in Sarasota. Hope to return again!

Beautiful Bay View

We have had many monthly rentals on Longboat Key. This was the best one ever. Full bay views from floor to ceiling windows or from outdoor patio were beautiful. The condo had a large, well furnished living room, a modern kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, & two nice bathrooms. The private beach & pool were across the street, just a few steps away. The owners were a pleasure to work with. We will come back as soon as we can.

Amazing location

The location on the bay with access to the ocean was amazing. The unit is a few yards from the bay so the view from inside and outside is beautiful. The property was okay as far as aesthetics go. The kitchen and living room area was comfortable. The bedrooms were less comfortable. Lots of personal items leaving little room for our belongings. It could benefit from updates.

Loved this place!

We rented for 3 months during the spring/summer and fell in love with this unit on the bay. The unit was roomy, especially the kitchen. The view was gorgeous. We were visited daily by various birds, manatee, and occasionally dolphins. Fishing was about 15 steps out my door. The beach and pool are directly across the street. We have rented this same unit again for a future stay.
