Condo had a great view and we loved the cosy feel. The dishwasher was not bolted in however. I’m not sure if the homeowners were aware of this. All the other amenities were great.
It was a beautiful resort, very nice condo with everything you would need! Lovely beach access and pool! Grounds were beautiful and well kept. So far, our favorite place on Longboat!
Nice location. Condo sidewalk takes you right to the beach. That is great for people with mobility issues. The condo provides chaise lounges for use on the beach. The host provided umbrella and towels. I would have preferred the master bedroom mattress to be a more firm. It was too soft for us. However, that's a personal preference. I would definitely book again!
Property was perfect. Location and view were amazing. The fact the patio had shade all day allowed us to spend most of our days there! Short walk to the beach to dip our feet in the water and pick up shells made our stay complete.
Great location and beautiful condo. I love that they supplied a few things to get us through the first few days. Not having to pack beach towels was also a plus.
Property was very nice and staff were friendly. Plenty of space inside for the 5 of us. Was nice to have some beach items to include umbrellas and chairs in the unit for use. Location is nice but traffic driving north is like a parking lot.
