About this property

Fall sale ready for a luxury 5-floor penthouse 60 ft from water,

This property is a family-owned 800 square foot tower apartment on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. It is part of the Zilli Collection. Each has the Zilli touch of an amazing view, decor (not typical wicker furniture, silly beach artifacts, 40-year-old flooring, one-size-fits-all, etc.). We call it upscale coastal. The properties are more of a resort, 5 star hotel feel. Has a custom. Boutique Robb&Stuckey signature inside bedroom set

We own an elegant upscale home next door, a penthouse unit, a direct walk out unit, along with 2 units with the option to connect into one suite.

You’ll find everything you need on-site from free WIFI to dishes, linens, towels and even a few extras you may need for your stay like puzzles and soap. There is a pool and a covered area with grills and picnic tables overlooking the beach. Hope to see you soon at one of my beautiful vacation homes. All you need is your bathing suit and a toothbrush. The beach is just steps away.

This resort is not a place of public accommodation as defined by the ADA and, therefore, does not meet the accessibility requirements of the ADA. That said, there are some accessible features at the facility. Please ask me specific questions to determine if this property would a good fit for your needs.

Please view my other beautiful vacation homes and make plans now to visit Longboat Key to see why we love it!!!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Longboat Key. The condo was beautiful, impeccably clean, and decorated so tastefully—it truly felt like a luxury retreat.The beach view was breathtaking, and the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. What made our stay even more special was our host, James. He was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer any questions, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure we had an amazing visit.This was hands down one of the best hosting experiences we’ve ever had. We can’t recommend this condo highly enough and will definitely be back. Thank you for making our vacation so memorable!

From the moment we booked, communication with the host was outstanding—friendly, prompt, and helpful every step of the way.The condo itself is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and beautifully appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It truly feels upscale while still being warm and comfortable.The location is simply unbeatable. Being directly on the beach made every day feel like a dream, with breathtaking views and easy access to the sand and water just steps from the door.If you’re looking for a peaceful, luxurious getaway on Longboat Key, I can’t recommend this property highly enough.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Zilli

Host profile image
Jim Zilli grew up in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area. He started coming to Longboat Key in the early 1980's. Jim chose this Tower 503 property as it was the perfect vacation property with an amazing gulf view. Jim had previously purchased the nearby two-bedroom villa and came to live in Longboat Key full-time in 2009. The Tower 503 has upscale touches equivalent to a Ritz or St. Regis suite.

Jim is CEO in the family’s Wisconsin on off-site catering special events business, so he has ample experience in hospitality. He finds great enjoyment and satisfaction helping guests have amazing vacations in his properties – many of whom come back year after year. “I have many families who I have gotten to know over the years and spent time , dining , golfing , helped them find realtors, and more,” says Jim.

Clients have complimented Jim’s style as attentive and not pushy. They appreciate he will check in with them during their stay. He wants renters to know he’s there for them.

Why they chose this property

The most obvious reason Jim chose Longboat Key is the weather and beauty of this location, and the Villa is located just steps from a world-class beach. Guests never run out of things to do, whether it’s enjoying the nightlife in nearby Sarasota or simply collecting shells along the white sand beach. The weather provides just enough variety so you won’t be bored. Unlike other areas of Florida, Longboat Key is quiet, safe and has a small-town feel he enjoys. The area feels remote and natural yet it’s easy to access with the Sarasota airport just 7 miles east of Sarasota or from Tampa, which is 40 minutes away.

One of Jim’s favorite things to do is golf, and (there are several world-class courses within a 20-minute drive). He also enjoys movies, and recommends the annual film festival in Sarasota. He keeps a running list of the many, many things there are to do in the area - so whether you like to swim, sunbathe, walk on the beach, golf, shop, or all of the above, Jim’s guests find plenty to keep themselves entertained. At the same time, the secluded location offers privacy and quiet so if you, like most of us, need to catch up on rest while you’re here, you can fall asleep to nothing more than the gentle sound of the surf.

What makes this property unique

A secluded Longboat Key small complex. 5th floor unit of 5 floors with beautiful views of the Gulf and the beach right in front of you.
