If you're looking for a spot on the beach on a budget this is your place. Im big on not having a road between the beach and where i stay and this checked that box. Most other places are 2 or 3 times the price. This is a great value and i cant say enough about dominick and the propert management team. Had a couple questions that were taken care of immediately. Cant wait to come back. Thanks again!

The property and location on the beach were fine. Our only complaint was that the Air Conditioning was a weak window unit. There was no central air. The floor-length window drapes near the AC unit had to be kept open to allow the air to flow, but this led to the room not being kept dark in the morning. A shorter drape that stopped at the sill would make better sense to block the morning sun, and still allow the air conditioning to flow.

The unit was clean with lots of nice fluffy towels. I wish I could say so much for the bed., It was lumpy, and the sheets were old and worn. The pillows were even worse, really needed to be replaced. Access to the beach was great with lots of lounge chairs, and a gentleman who was constantly cleaning and keeping things neat outside. We would have preferred a bit of a balcony attached to our room as well. All I know the facility was lovely however I would go with a unit with a balcony next time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness of the unit, the fluffy towels, and especially the easy beach access. It’s wonderful to know our beach team member made a positive impression by keeping the area tidy and welcoming — we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. That said, we’re truly sorry the bed, sheets, and pillows did not meet your expectations. A comfortable night’s sleep is so important, and we regret that we fell short in this area during your stay. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can review and address these concerns promptly. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the balcony. We understand how much added value that outdoor space can bring to a stay, and we’re glad you found the overall facility lovely. Should you choose to visit again, we would be happy to help you select a unit with a balcony to better suit your preferences. Thank you again for your thoughtful review — we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even more comfortable and enjoyable stay next time.

Great Property

Great location and beach access- pool is awesome! Unit doesn’t face the ocean, but it’s right there! Very low key- place is very clean. WiFi is spotty and would not be good if you are planning to work while staying- that is an island wide issue I believe- No stove, but has everything else a kitchen needs and a grill- we would come back!

Loved the location. the beach was beautiful..tranquil.Room was nice. But I was given no trash bags and there was nothing to cook on but an antiquated and dangerous hot plate. Also no pan or skillet to cook with! I had to go out and buy a skillet. We had to eat out far more than we had planned. Otherwise ok

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you enjoyed the shower and the location and also glad that we are able to provide one of the most affordable single night units in all of Longboat Key. We understand that streaming TV might not be to everyone's preference, but it's becoming the standard in many places as cable options are being phased out. That said, we’re sorry to hear it wasn’t to your liking. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue to improve the guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future!

We appreciate your feedback and regret that your stay did not meet your expectations. However, we'd like to clarify a few points. First, internet service across the entire island has been inconsistent since the hurricane, which is unfortunately beyond our control. That said, the TV in the unit is fully functional. Regarding the view, our listing clearly states what to expect, and we encourage guests to review all details before booking. We’re sorry if this was misunderstood. Additionally, this is a privately managed rental, not a hotel, which means we do not operate a 24-hour front desk—nor is there a need for one. We’re glad our team was able to respond quickly to the toilet issue and that you found the unit to be clean. While we understand not every guest will find our accommodations a perfect fit, we strive to provide a clear and accurate description of what to expect. Best regards,

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We always strive to provide our guests with a comfortable stay, and we wish we had the opportunity to address the cable, WiFi, and door issues during your visit—our team is always happy to help resolve concerns promptly. Unfortunately, internet service across Longboat Key has been spotty due to recent hurricane damage, which has affected the entire island. We completely understand how frustrating this can be and appreciate your patience as providers work to restore full service. Regarding the view, we do our best to set accurate expectations by clearly stating "Complex View" in the listing. However, we understand how important a scenic view can be and regret if there was any misunderstanding. We truly appreciate your feedback and would love the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. If you decide to stay with us again, we’d be happy to offer a discount as a token of our appreciation. Please reach out to us directly so we can ensure your next visit is a great one!

Room 220

We booked for an over night stay. The property itself was wonderful. And we were allowed to check in early. However, the kitchenette sink had a dirty knife and glass waiting for us when we entered. The bathroom was also dirty. We suspect it was due to the roofers that had been above the unit earlier. But there was dirt all around the toilet and a rusty nail near by as well. We only needed the room to clean up and rest but it was disappointing to come in and deal with a mess.That said, we did enjoy our stay. The beach and pool area were great. The location was quiet and beautiful.

Stayed 3 nights - the pictures make the room look larger. First - the fridge did not work, texted, they would bring new one next day so to Publix we went for ice keep food cold. There was no place to sit except on the edge of the bed which was very apparent when one tried to sleep (you kept sagging over). Luckily, we had our own beach chairs in the car and took them up to use. The stools at the table were not reasonable to read or watch TV. Lacked kitchen ware - there was a small hot plate (did not use) but nothing to cook on it. Silverware was minimal, only plastic forks which got thrown out after use. One skimpy bar of soap for the length of time there. A towel ring next to the sink in bath would be great. No broom but there was a dustpan and 2 irons (???). Owner said check out at 11:00, room notice says 10. Received wifi info that was different than note in room which was correct. The fan remote did not work, probably needs a battery. We had to strip the bed, empty all garbage cans, no new bags for the garbage so left the kitchen bag there. The beach and pool were nice. Nice to have the beach chairs/lounges, however, the trek to get them down there was difficult over the rocks. No full umbrellas only pieces. (we had our own too) The owners of these units should stay in them for a week themselves to see what needs to be done.

Thank you for your feedback. While we appreciate hearing from our guests, we feel this review does not accurately represent the property or the experience we strive to provide. First and foremost, our listing is completely transparent. The photos, room dimensions, amenities, and description accurately depict the unit, including that it is a small beachfront efficiency. We intentionally market it as an affordable beachfront option, not a large suite, so guests know exactly what to expect before booking. Regarding the refrigerator, we responded immediately after being notified and arranged for a replacement as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, unexpected appliance failures can occur, but we addressed the issue without delay. Several of the other comments are simply personal preferences rather than inaccuracies. The furnishings, seating, kitchen setup, and amenities shown in the listing are exactly what is provided. While this unit is compact, it offers guests an affordable opportunity to stay just steps from one of America's most beautiful beaches with direct access to the beach and pool. We also disagree with the suggestion that the property is not accurately represented. Hundreds of guests have chosen this unit specifically because the listing clearly shows its size, layout, and amenities. Our goal has always been to provide an honest representation so guests can make an informed decision before booking. We appreciate your suggestions and will continue l
