Great location for boating and fishing

We had a great time. The dock and canal gave us fast access to the gulf and our favorite spots. The house is very nice and the elevator was great for my elderly mother who came with us. I would have given 5 stars but there were some cleanliness issues when we arrived and there were some obvious "quick fixes" done around the house and some worn out items that were kind of obvious, compared to how nice the rest of the house was. I would recommend this property to anyone who comes to fish.

Comfy Longboat Key Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was decorated beautifully in Florida decor, very clean, and super cozy! We loved the location , close to the beach , quaint neighborhood, and access to nearby great restaurants! The only disappointment was the lapsed membership to the Cedars Tennis Club that was listed in the amenities. We would like this renewed for next year.

Peaceful, Beautiful Home

My family had a great time while we stayed it this home. It is a few blocks from a beach and we walked there each morning to watch the sun come up. In the mornings this beach was practically empty. It was like we had our own private beach. It was perfect. This home has a sun porch and deck overlooking a canal. It is all so beautiful. The home also has a large comfortable living room, a dining room, large kitchen and three bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the dishes, cups, etc that anyone would need. This home was great. And we loved our time there. We didn't want to leave!
